According to the study of Jimson Mariano (2017) The Philippine government has been committed to bring the educational system into a modernized status, particularly on basic education, in its effort to make each and every student at par with other students of neighboring developed countries. Our country is now capable to utilize and produce information and to transform it into knowledge and vast array of goods and services. The Department of Education (DEPED) has initiated in 1996 a computerization program with the goal of preparing Filipino students for employment and competitive career by teaching them to master new forms of technology. They also would like to harness and enhance the power of technology towards developing the entire teaching-learning process, specifically in its bid to make each and every public school student empowered in this highly globalized and integrated world economy. ICT plays a major role in creating a new and improved model of teaching and learning where education happens anytime and anywhere. According to Diwanie Perez (2016) to achieve this vision we should continue to use ICT to revitalize our schools to make them to dynamic, collaborative and innovative learning institutions where students can become more motivated, inquisitive and creative learners. Also to link students with vast networked world of knowledge and information and develop student’s skills and capabilities to critically and intelligently seek ,absorb, analyze, manage and present information. The assessment of the current state of computerization of public schools will aim to help DepEd better integrate ICT in its ambitious K (Kindergarten) to 12 Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) reform program. • Education Secretary Armin Luistro said that ICT education will be an important aspect as they formulate an effectively enhanced K to 12 BEC curriculums. “We have to set up our ICT thrust as we gradually implement the K to 12 Basic Education Reform Program. As we all know, ICT plays a very important role in administrative functions as well as in the teaching and learning process,” Luistro explained. According to Melvin Matulac, Assistant Prof at University of Santo Tomas, Today’s education faces a lot of challenges. The swirling changes and developments in teaching and learning all seem promising and yet are still at their infant stages. There is resurgence for Constructivist approaches in the classroom. Howard Gardner contradicts the IQ phenomena with his own findings on Multiple Intelligence. The banking method of education is totally unacceptable to some education circles and yet the new methods bring their own share of confusion. The use of technology is at least one unavoidable reality and twenty years after the introduction of the PC, as many roads have been paved for us to follow, a lot of work still lay ahead. In the present stage, since technology is here to stay, some educators took a second look at how technology is being used. Instead of technology dictating what they should do, they started telling technology what they wanted to do in teaching core subjects. The technology experts of the school started shifting gears. From being the untouchable nerds in the computer lab, they suddenly found themselves as the assistants of the teachers finding ways to bring technology at the service of learning. Education has changed a lot because of the development of information Technology and knowledge information society. According to Reynato Arimbuyutan (2007) Educational infra of the Philippines was meager before 4-5 years Also computing and Internet infra it will not support to education environment. But Philippine education environment changed fast during 2000~ 2006 years. Development of network environment is big effect of computer game by Philippine young generation. Also, effect of education reform policy that Philippines government. Philippines making e-Learning systems for remote education environment. And, there is progressing various project with more interest about e-Learning. Therefore, the study wants to correct analysis and right direction presentation for Philippine remote education environment. The study is structured as follows. In chapter 2, Environment of education in the Philippines. In chapter3, environment of e-Learning in the Philippines, Lastly, e-Learning environment and prospects of the study is made in chapter 4 of his study According to the MST News (2013) millions of Filipino students are back to schools. Some will be studying more comfortably in air-conditioned rooms, complete with hi-tech learning tools such as computers and modern methodologies. Others will not be as privileged. Still, learning takes precedence over disparities in learning conditions. Substance over form, we say. With the recent implementation of the K to 12 program, the country’s basic education curriculum undergoes a major overhaul in the form of two additional years from the existing 10-year basic education. The authority says the transition will provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship. Moreover, the reform would make the Philippines comparable and competitive with other countries, as the 12 years of basic schooling had long been a global standard. But while the change is a welcome development, it may still be considered protracted if taken in the larger context of learning, which is transforming by leaps and bounds. Download 242.27 Kb.
