Project Summary

Building on the InMside-project (HRD 01 2018) for upper secondary schools, InMside II-project (HRD 05 2019) trains middle school curriculum developers to include Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data into the APEC economies’ curricula for building Inclusive, Sustainable and Digital society under Integration 4.0 against 4th Industrial Revolution. The Informatics and Data Science Education Reform is driven by computational and statistical thinking. The project title was changed but kept the abbreviation.

a)  Research Meeting in Japan: Research the training modules and identify the theoritical framework for curriculum developers.

b)  InMside II Seminar for training in Malaysia: Invite all economies’ curriculum developers to present the reform on Informatics and Statistics curriculum for digital society. It includes keynotes and reports from economies, and plans their challenges for teacher training.

c)  Synthesis Meeting in Thailand: Elaborates the recommendations to APEC economies with models for teacher trainings, and enlarge the curriculum developers’ network.

Relevance

Relevance – Region: Curricula reforms and implementations are keys to develop the human capital and to ensure social mobility. The government curriculum developers who enact the reforms are necessary to ensure high-quality curriculum development and its implementations. However, they are not familiar with the innovative-urgent issues for Digital Society in relation to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data. The 2019 InMside-project (HRD 01 2018), which trained the upper secondary level developers produce the recommendation for upper secondary school curriculum within 2019. The 2020 InMside II-project (HRD 05 2019) focuses on Computational and Statistical Thinking for the reforms on the middle school levels. At the reform, the middle (lower secondary) school curriculum developers who are not major in informatics and are not familiar with the programming, have to establish curriculum and plan the teacher training program. However, as there are no informatics teachers or informatics subjects at the middle or lower secondary (junior high) school level, and there is necessity to introduce cording in existing subjects such as ‘Technology and Home Economy’ (a subject name). The developers should prepare the training programs that will assist and contribute to the capacity development of the middle school teachers by using such as cascade system. Accordingly, the project InMside II proposes to host the InMside II Seminar and two self-funded meetings, and produce recommendations for curriculum reforms and teacher training models that can be implemented at economy-levels. A training activity is scheduled for August, 2020 to develop the capacity of the curriculum developers in economies in relation to their curricula reform and its implementation. InMside II was recommended all APEC economies as a most necessary and beneficial project by the EDNET coordinator in HRD at SOM2 (2019) because InMside (HRD 01 2018) and InMside II produce and enlarge the reform network under EDNET.

Relevance – Eligibility and Fund Priorities: InMside II directly contributes to the issues on the GPA funding priorities for 2019, namely “Digital Society”, “Sustainable Growth”, “Strengthening Inclusive Growth through Structural Reform and by Increasing Opportunities for Women and SMEs” and “Improving Connectivity and Deepening Regional Economic Integration (Integration 4.0)”. The contributions are as follows: First, providing and extending learning opportunities for the Digital Society. Digital Era with AI and Big Data enhances the literacy for Computational and Statistical Thinking. Computational thinking functions to alternate the necessary parts of job by computer and robot. Statistical thinking functions to critique ill-using of Big Data and make decision by using Big Data.  

The InMside II Seminar in 2020, Malaysia, is the key opportunity for government curriculum specialists to learn the latest development of educational tools and visible programming that will provide an avenue to develop their curricula with enhanced teacher training models on middle school education. Second, developing high quality inclusive curriculum for Strengthening Inclusive Growth through Structural Reform and by Increasing Opportunities for Women and SMEs (Small and medium-sized enterprises). Currently, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education (APEC Educational Ministers Statements, 2016) emphasized on informatics education for industry. The lower mathematics achievement of girls is an obstacle to challenges for higher income careers. However, Information, Communication and Technology becomes the strategy for those challenges through developing mathematical, statistical and computational thinking. These thinking are the new basic literacy for Inclusive Growth of SMEs. Third, producing teacher-training models for Sustainable Growth. InMside II produces the recommendations of curricula in every economy with the teacher training models to ensure a high quality teaching, which is necessary to develop human capitals for sustainable growth.

Fourth, extending curriculum developers’ network directed for Regional Curriculum Standards that gears for Integration 4.0. InMside II enlarges the developers’ network from upper secondary informatics to all subjects on the middle school.

Relevance – Capacity Building: InMside II trains curriculum developers, produces recommendations for curricula reform with the teacher training models and establishes the network to create future curriculum and standardization in APEC. Comparison with the InMside for upper secondary school, middle school curriculum does not have informatics as a taught subject but computational and statistical thinking is embedded in many subjects. Researchers prepare theoretical framework for curriculum and a set of tasks used for the training by sharing existed surveys on the weakness of teachers in computational and statistical thinking. At the InMside II seminar training, sharing the content knowledge for teaching is necessary and producing the recommendations for curriculum reform to every economy is meaningful for all economies. Models for teacher training facilitate the implementation. The enlarged network enables to continue the challenges from upper secondary school to middle school.

Objectives

The objective is to build the capacity of curriculum developers to produce recommendations for their curricula reform, teacher training, with enlargement of the network to support the APEC Education Strategy for 2030. The outcomes are the recommendations of curriculum on computational and statistical thinking with teacher training models, and the enlarged network of curriculum developers. It is evaluated by the number contributions in the InMside II Seminar and meetings which produce recommendations. In the InMside II Seminar, curriculum developers are trained through reporting and sharing their status and elaborating the recommendations.

Alignment

Alignment - APEC:  InMside II invites curriculum developers at the middle school to build their capacity for curriculum reform by focusing on Computational and Statistical Thinking for Digital Society with AI and Big Data, and also developing the teacher training capacity to realize the inclusive growth. These efforts are necessary to establish their network for developing the standardized curricula on human capitals under Integration 4.0. InMside II supports APEC-Chile 2019 priorities (the same as GPA) and the STEM education in digital era on APEC Educational Ministers’ statements in Peru (2016). Beyond the official project events, InMside I implemented four additional satellite workshops for total 1000 teachers under local governments and InMside II also do it.

Alignment – Forum: The Action Plan for APEC Educational Strategy on HRDWG (2017) emphasizes the developing competencies based on needs of individuals, societies and economies via a collaborative and strategic approach, the encouraging policy discussions and the sharing of good practices using data and the targets for 2030 on: 3.1 Enhancing competencies, quality assurance frameworks as applicable for each economy; 3.2 Accelerate Innovation, as in Target 1) the use of educational and technological capabilities in teaching and learning processes, Target 2) Integrated Science, Technology and Innovation in Education and Pedagogical Practices, and Target 3) Increased government-industry-academia collaboration for R & D and innovation; 4.3 Increase Employability, as in Action 1) the Promotion of Collaboration between Government, Higher Education and TVET Institutions, Business and Education and Training Stakeholders, Action 2) Development of 21st Century Competencies for Work and Entrepreneurship, and Action 3) Smooth Transition from Education to Work. As in the above, the InMside II enhances the capacity development of curriculum specialists and develop teacher training models through collaboration.

Dissemination

Each meetings and InMside II Seminar is summarized on the website based on participants’ reports and speakers lecture, and Report. The number of contents depending on number of participated economies. The copyright of all output of this project is owned by the APEC Secretariat. As such, where there is any collaboration after the project is completed, proper permission to use the data or information generated from the project should be sought from the APEC Secretariat

The target audience of Project Reports which distributes from APEC website, is curriculum developers who engage in the curriculum reforms in their economies. There are no outputs for selling in the outputs just after InMside II which copyright belonging to APEC.

However, further activities after the project as for the further collaborations on the established network, textbooks, guidebooks and academic products such as journal papers are possible to produce by the members. These selling publications are necessary lube for further sustainable developments after the end of project. Eg. Past lesson study projects Network produced textbooks in Thailand (2010), Mexico (2013, free by the government), Papua New Guinea (2019, free by the government), Indonesia (2019, free by the government) and Chile (2020, free by the government) after the 2009 project.

Gender

Innovation and Technology is one of key issues on APEC. APEC, Innovation and Technology Gender is a major issue on InMside-project under the Gender Criteria on APEC: InMside enhance female curriculum developer’s’ skill, capacity building and leadership for Innovation and Technology. Thus, invited participants by using APEC grants are one male and one female. It will encourage economies to employ the staffs with consideration of gender balance.  We also planning to invite Yoky Matsuoka who leads STEAM education and Gender as for Keynote.

The ratio of male and female of whole participants and speakers on the InMside II Seminar (training) will be maintained by asking every economy to send two persons as one female and one male respectively. On APEC funds, it is 50 : 50. On self-fund, POs will make an efforts the ratio become closer to 50:50. PO will collect sex-disaggregated data for all speakers and participants (not only the APEC funded) at the project event. This data will be requested when submitting a Completion Report to the Secretariat when project ends. The ratios on the Research and synthesis meetings are embedded into the project report at a grace as well as the ratio of the InMside II Seminar. Exceptional case is self-funded participants who participate under the allowance of host economies. Even the case, total female ratio keep 30% or more.

PO is committed to collect sex-disaggregated data for all speakers and participants (and not only the APEC funded) from the project event. This data will be included as part of the submission of the Completion Report to the Secretariat when the project completes and will serve to guide future POs on their own gender parity targets.

Risks

Firstly, Difficulties of nominations from economies. It was related with gender conditions and mismatch the schedule. Curriculum developers usually manages their own meetings for curriculum reform in economy, and mathematics and cording responsible persons are usually male. Thus, in case, the economy cannot nominate any female at the first announcement, on the second nomination, POs seek the further recommendations and if not, only first one (male) is acceptable.

Secondly, Shortage of participating economies at the InMside II Seminar to prepare the recommendation. Expected participants of the InMside II Seminar (training) do not come to the meeting because of economic status to buy the ticket. The SOM schedule was not clear and stabile at last Chile. Such matters become the reason why expected people could not participate in the InMside II Seminar. Thus, we do not have InMside II seminar at SOM 1 and set if in August. In case it is necessary, POs recommend the participants from POs side to the economy for their participations. In our experience, POs side buy tickets and re-inverse from the secretariat if it is possible for secretariat.

Thirdly, the participants recommended from the economy come without preparations. In this case, POs change the schedule of presentations for providing them the time for preparations.

Forthly, the InMside II symposium will set appropriate days in August and venue under the direct communication with Malaysia.

Lastly, the problem of language.  The curriculum is the matter of every economy and written in their language. Some curriculum specialists do not well at English. Thus, POs should ask every economy to send who can participate in the English program and write their report in English. However, POs also need to consider that they are able to work together with help of other participants.

Linkages

The InMside is a consecutive three-year project from upper secondary (InMside I; 2019), to middle (InMside II; 2020) and primary school (InMside III; 2021) and invite other fora such as Women and Economy. It is recognized as a most necessary project for EDNET (2019). It is the successor of the Lesson Study (LS) project (Japan and Thailand; 2006-2018) which influenced to UNESCO and ASEAN guidebooks. In the 2018 HRDWG projects for Digital Society, “Digital Workforce Development: Leveraging Digital and Distance-Learning Technologies to Build a 21st Century Workforce through Improved Career and Technical Education (USA)” provides InMside II the necessity of curricula reforms.  “Workshop on Leveraging Digital Technology to Improve Education Quality in Rural and Remote Areas (Indonesia),” “APEC e-Learning Training Program (Korea),” and “Observatory of Best Practices with ICT (Peru),” “Quality Assurance in Online Education (Australia)”, “7th APEC Conference on Cooperation in Higher Education in Asia-Pacific Region (Russia)”, and “InMside II Seminars for Basic Education Reform in APEC: Experiences from PISA and TALIS (China)” are the projects supporting ICT-application. TALIS by OECD provides InMside II the necessity of model meaningful for teacher training. These achievements for STEM and ICT education are studied at the research meeting in Japan.

Sustainability

Sustainability will be realized by the extension of the APEC Curriculum Developers Network from upper secondly school level (2019; InMside I, HRD 01 2018) to lower secondary school level (2020; InMside II, HRD 05 2019). It is the network to push the curriculum reform and teacher training in every economy. To ensure its extension, the following efforts are planned by the project overseers:

Firstly, the InMside II project includes to share and plan the teacher training models.

Secondly, the project InMside continue the year 2021 for primary levels. On this continuity, the network ensure to share the past project activities and enhance.

Project impact is measured by the establishment of the Network, curriculum reform and teacher training models on every economy’s schedule.

After the 2020 year project, the POs plan to submit the report to the research journal and call for the contribution to the book to share the reform directions to ensure the sustainability of the network activity.
