Technological Foundations of Education

Role of Technology
Educational technology can benefit our country in enhancing education through providing assistance to students learning, teacher productivity and by making schools more effective instruments of change. In this age of technology, it is essential that we teach our students how to evaluate and analyze, how to think critically, how to synthesize apparently unrelated information, how to apply solutions, how to make decisions based on and incomplete data, how to communicate effectively with others and how to organize and locate information especially with the use of technology.

Economic Foundations of Education

Cost-Benefit Analysis
Cost Benefit Analysis is typically used by governments to evaluate the desirability of a given intervention. The aim is to gauge the efficiency of the intervention relative to the status quo. The costs and benefits of the impacts of an intervention are evaluated in terms of the public's willingness to pay for them (benefits) or willingness to pay to avoid them (costs).

Western Studies
Morris was able to calculate social rates-of-return to different subject disciplines studied at various postschool levels. For university degrees, returns were mostly higher in the case of arts and social science subjects than for engineering and science, due mainly to the higher costs of the latter. Part-time courses, such as for ONC (Ordinary National Certificate) and HNC (Higher National Certificate) had much higher returns (often around 20%) than full-time courses, due to the former having no income foregone. After alpha-coefficient (0.66) adjustment, marginal social returns to first degrees were around 10%. Returns to postgraduate-level education were generally low and sometimes negative.

Philippine Setting
Tan and Paqueo (1989), using a Mincerian function, found returns to education in the Philippines which were described as lower than the average for developing countries. Social rates-of-return averaged around 12.7% and were comparable among the three levels of education but private returns were significantly higher for primary than for higher levels of education: the former was calculated at 18.2% but dropped to 12.2% when primary pupils' income foregone was assumed to equal one-tenth of the average earnings of 19-year-olds. Where pupils failed to complete a cycle (e.g., primary, secondary), the returns were much lower. A Mincerian function approach gave a private return (average over all education) of only 8.1 %.
