Abstract:

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) was in the top list of the most important trends and issues identified by SEAMEO VOCTECH in 2007. Considering the importance of ICT in TVET, the Southeast Asian Vocational Education Re­search Network, or commonly known as SEAVERN agreed to focus the third year research agenda, 2009/2010, on this area. This is also in line with SEAMEO Secretariat’s agenda on map­ping the status of ICT integration in education in the member countries that was completed in 2009. This paper was based on the findings from these third year research projects carried out by SEAVERN researchers by looking at similarities, differences, and best practices of ICT Integration in TVET institutions. Real­izing that the research designs used in these countries were not all parallel, the findings was compared very cautiously and it was focused more on the lessons learned from the best practices in ICT integration. This paper also offers some recommendations for TVET institutions to enhance ICT integration in their teach­ing and learning processes.
