Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: This study aimed to look back upon the two decades of ICT (information and communications technology) in education and to examine its merits and demerits, and thereby evaluating the value of ICT in educational development from the viewpoints of Korea and the world and finding lessons to take a leap toward further advancement.To this end, we researchers examined the process of ICT in education, from making policies based on Korea's socio-cultural contexts to implementing the policies at school levels.Through descriptive study, we also identified best practices and success factors for ICT integration and discussed their implications.The study revealed four lessons for policy leadership as a success factor, school ecology as a complex factor, the gap between technological and social development as a crisis factor, and the task of pedagogy as a fundamental assignment.The implications of the study give insight into realizing a long-cherished wish for the education for all.The task of traditional pedagogy is passed over to the task of a new one which Korean experience of ICT education proposes.
