1. Progress Report on Research Project #5 ICT-based 21st Century Curriculum for Science and Mathematics (Inter-center Collaboration Initiative SEAMOLEC, SEAQIS, SEAQIM)

2. Rationale
Uneven science and mathematics education achievement among member countries
Characteristics of Inquiry Based Education enable to promote a curriculum that truly addresses the realities and requirements of the 21st Century
The need to create the learning kits that accommodate the context and condition Asean countries whilst maintaining its diversity
Conceptualise the SEA Education Agenda and Asean Integration

4. Objectives
To promote strategic change in education through blended learning activities
To provide adequate teachers’ CPD with reliable blended learning resources
To incorporate new skills that enhance digital competencies among students whilst prepare them with the 21st century employable skills
Develop ODL and OER that accommodate the needs of SEAMEO member countries

9. The Methods Divide the research into 3 phase : 1. Base line study
2. Intervention study
3. Validation study
Conducting Regional Wide Assessment to observe the effectiveness of the model, level of readiness (system, infrastructure, organisation) of member countries, consistency support and commitment of parties involved
Field examination and piloting
Time frame : four years since 2015

14. The Instruments Student test kit 20 questions for duration 60 minutes
HOTS and SEA common curriculum based
Pedagogic proportion for year 5 :C1 (5%) ; C2 (35%); C3 (10%), C4 (25%) ; C5(25%) ;
Pedagogic proportion for year 8 and 10 : C1(20%) ; C2(15%); C3(40%); C4 (15%); C5(10%)
2. Monitoring and evaluation
Questioners for students, teachers, education personels
Infrastructure and documentation items

15. Initial findings :
Overall the data showed that there was an irregular trend among SEAMEO member countries in regard to students readiness in adopting 21st century curriculum
In general 8 grade students had a better readiness both in science and mathematics subjects than grade 5 students
For certain stages, the students less readiness in learning Mathematics as compare to Science

16. Student Readiness in Science and Mathematics (Grade 5)

17. Student Readiness in Science and Mathematics (Grade 8)

18. Student Readiness in Science and Mathematics Grade 10 High School)

19. Student Readiness in Science and Mathematics (Grade 10 Vocational)

20. Technical Matters
The quality of translation materials into local language might influence the results
Unclear login instruction to students reduced the time for working on the test
Not all students worked on 2 subjects as requested
The internet signal had interfere the test , made student lost during the test
The pen and paper methods that implemented during diagnostic test has enabled country with no internet access to participate

21. Challenges
Consistent support and commitment from MoE participated countries
Reliable IT infrastructure in schools
Material translation and clear instructions
Development of appropriate model that applicable to the SEAMEO member countries
Funding Sources
