Support Systems
Definition
A set of tools that
helps to improve
student achievement
by building newer
capacities in
teachers.
Process
Influences how
decisions are made
and what information
is passed on between
educators and
students.
Purpose
Helps teachers acquire new skills and increase
student achievement in areas where performance
is lacking.
Teaching support systems have evolved over time,
moving from traditional approaches to modern
methods and now incorporating ICT (Information and
Communication Technology). This progression
happens with the assistance of various technologies
designed to enhance the educational experience.

Traditional vs Modern Teaching Methods
Traditional Approach
Teacher-centred instruction reflecting
educational essentialism and perennialism.
Focuses on memorization of facts and
objective information. Aims at high test
scores and grades, with subjects taught
independently. Students are matched by
age and ability, with learning primarily
through listening and observation.
Modern Approach
Student-centric approach reflecting
educational progressivism. Emphasizes
understanding, application, analysis, and
critical thinking. Aims at learning retention
and valuable skill development. Subjects
are integrated and multidisciplinary.
Students are matched by interest or ability
for each project, with learning through
practicality, discoveries, and group
activities.
In traditional methods, presentation and testing favor students with prior exposure to
material, while modern approaches integrate personal knowledge within the school
environment through contextual learning.

ICT-Based Teaching Support
Definition
An approach to
facilitate and enhance
learning through
computer and
communication
technology, including
internet, email,
websites, and CD-
ROMs.
Evolution
Evolved from
Computer-Based
Training (CBT) of the
1980s to include
internet-based, web-
based, and online
learning with the
maturation of internet
and digital media.
Benefits
Enables flexible, just-in-time, effective, and
efficient learning where pace is determined by the
learner rather than the instructor.
ICT-based teaching incorporates various digital
technologies including digital television, personal
digital assistants (PDAs), and mobile phones to
deliver, facilitate, and enhance both formal and
informal learning from any place at any time.
