Model Roadmap of Development Plan

A 4-stage conceptual framework built on the 4 phases in the development and implementation of school-based plans is designed for the development of roadmap:

1. (1)
   Self-review or context analysis in the self-evaluation phase and the evaluation in the evaluation phase
2. (2)
   Goal-setting and realisation in the planning phase
3. (3)
   Planning in the planning phase
4. (4)
   Implementation in the implementation phase

Stage 1 – Self-review / Context Analysis / Evaluation 

Self-review is an important step for schools to obtain a preliminary view on their own strengths, weaknesses and needs prior to the planning. A self-review of 4 key dimensions, with 5 related concerns, is proposed for schools to evaluate their readiness for promoting IT in education.

Context analysis is a significant step for schools to garner in-depth opinions on the strong and weak areas at the school level and gain insights into their own needs and changing contexts prior to the planning. A context analysis of 10 evaluation areas, which are incorporated into 4 domains in line with the implementation of initiatives for the school development and accountability in the local school education sector, is proposed for schools to evaluate their readiness for promoting the use of IT in education.

Stage 2 – Goal-setting and Realisation 

Goal-setting plays a primary role in the development of every plan. A goal coupled with the corresponding realisation process, which are in response to the emerging information society, is proposed for schools to integrate IT into school education.

Stage 3 – Planning 

4-step process is suggested for schools to formulate their school-based IT in education development plans according to their own status.

Stage 4 – Implementation 

4 domains in line with the implementation of initiatives for the school development and accountability in the local school sector are recommended to schools for the consideration of the implementation of school-based IT in education development plans.
