The results of this research are expected to do construct a benchmark for educational ICT policy making in APEC economies with reference to policy trends produced by this project. They also provide insights and hindsight on ICT educational policymaking to all parties concerned.
APEC economies should find the results beneficial in terms of new policymaking and enhancement of present policies concerned. The recommended policy areas should be translated to generate businesses suited for industries related to ICT and education.
As to the methodology, from eleven APEC economies, the sample is reduced to eight due to complications in communications and documentation. Information needed is obtained through the internet. However, the project leader still organized and distributed the collected data online to other members of the project (P.R. China & Thailand) for analysis. The technique of content analysis was applied and trends on APEC educational ICT policy were identified. Findings from the data analysis were tabulated and attached as appendices in the APEC white paper. |
