INTRODUCTION

1996 ~ Ministry of Education was involved in intense discussion about

“Smart Schools”

Late 1996 ~ the Smart School had become one of the seven flagship

applications of the Multimedia Super Corridor.

End of pilot project 2002 ~ 88 schools were connected, equipped with

IT-trained teachers and integrated Smart School management system

2006 ~ a standardization process were deployed to measure the use of

ICT in all 88 Smart Schools.

End 2010 ~T he plan is to convert all 9000 schools in Malaysia to

smart schools

MALAYSIAN SMART SCHOOL QUALITIES

a philosophy that says all students can learn if taught, coupled

with high expectations for all students

a broad curriculum that considers the different capabilities and

needs of all students

a school climate that is conducive to learning

an on-going assessment that supports good instruction

strong and professional principals and teachers

a high level of parent and community involvement and

support

CURRICULUM open-ended

function in two ways:

it is open to revision and continued refinement

it provides open access to all students, allowing them to go beyond

explicitly stated learning outcomes in curriculum documents.

• exposed to one goal curriculum

students have to develop the critical skills

acquire the knowledge they need for effective lifelong learning and

full functioning as citizens in a changing society

• ICT based- learning

examines the influence of technology on students’ lives, and gives

students the skills they need to use technology.

PEDAGOGY innovative methods of teaching

involves specific learning goals active learning process

• many modes of learning pedagogy :

Alone

pairs, or in small teams with an expert (teacher or community

member)

a facilitator (teacher assistant, volunteer or student),

non-human resources (hands-on materials, computer-based

resources, multimedia resources, or print materials) at a site in the

community

a computer-based multimedia simulation

a hands-on learning lab, a meeting room or library.

TASKING Authentic

often in real life environments, with real world challenges

interdisciplinary specific knowledge,

general skills such as transfer of information across

settings,

negotiation and interpersonal skills

decision making skill mastery of a task

ASSESMENT holistic in that it covers not only achievement but also

readiness

Learners have different experiences and their levels of entry in certain learning

areas need to be assessed

progress

The student’s progress in achieving certain learning objectives need to be

monitored.

His/hers strengths and weaknesses also need to be diagnosed

Student’s ability is different from one another

aptitude.

aptitude also important by recognizing learners’ different styles of learning and

multiple intelligence.

TEACHING & LEARNING MATERIALS

5 main criteria

meets curricular needs

instructional needs

cost effective

Cosmetically adequate

technically adequate

• Smart School teachers will be enabled, through the use of

technology

Challenging

Attractive

motivates students to learn

encourages active participation

using a variety of materials, conventional media

(printed, 3D objects and audio/visual).

computer-based teaching-learning materials and

software

TECHNOLOGY Technology Infrastructure shall form the basis of

the Smart School upon which all of the

applications shall reside and operate.

Although the Smart School is curriculum driven,

technology nevertheless plays a crucial role as a

prime enabler and one of the critical success

factors for the Smart School.

Technology has many roles to play in a Smart School,

from facilitating teaching and learning activities to

assisting with school management.

Fully equipping a school might include the classrooms

with multimedia courseware and presentation

facilities, or library or media centre with a database

centre for multimedia courseware, and network

resources like access to the internet and computer

laboratory for teaching.

The Technology Infrastructure for the pioneer Smart Schools may comprise some or all of the following components:

Hardware such as end

terminal devices and

servers.

Video Conferencing

and its related

components.

Local Area Network (LAN) components, such as network interfaces,

network operating system, network system

management, physical cabling, hubs, routers and

access equipment.

Software such as operating system,

graphical user interface, and IT security software.

Non-IT Support Equipment such as overhead projectors

and audiovisual equipment.

PROGRESS OF SMART

SCHOOL

June 2010, smart technologies announce SMART classroom suite

2010 interactive learning software

Combines classroom management, assessment, lesson creation

and assignment tools in one offering.

Teachers - easily transition between lesson creation , classroom

management and student assessment

Reduces the time taken

Teamwork and peer learning have been nurtured

Teachers found their productivity improved by using ICT facilities

CHALLENGES OF SMART SCHOOL

The teachers are not ready to change their mindset

Requires much expenditure and a large budget

Students and parent are do not well understand the concept of smart school.

Most of the parents are not involved in this project

Lack of facilities - mismatch between smart learning and examination will be

occur

Lacking of technical staff to supervise network

Breakdown of electricity supply

Courseware problems

Class not enough computer and not enough courseware

Smart school courseware was found to be under-utilized by teachers
