Rationale
The Philippines is facing a rapidly changing education system and associated changes in assessment and curriculum systems at national, regional and local levels. Following a major curriculum comparison study completed under the auspices of Australian Aid by the Assessment Research Centre in 2011, the Assessment Curriculum and Technology Research Program (ACTRP) was established in 2013.1
ACTRP is a joint research program between the Assessment Research Centre (ARC) of the University of Melbourne (UoM) and the University of the Philippines (UP). The Program is funded by the Australian government.
In 2019, ACTRP officially became part of UP CIDS.
Objectives
ACTRP seeks to advise and inform the Philippine system of education through curriculum, teaching, and assessment research based on empirical studies of curriculum innovation and implementation. Through this, the Program aims to equip Filipino students for their participation in an information society and a knowledge-based economy. This involves:
- Assessment of learning across all levels of basic education;
- Curriculum analysis and study of the links between intended, implemented, and achieved curriculum; and
- Examination of the role of technology in the delivery and enhancement of assessment and curriculum.
Projects
ACTRP’s three themes are assessment, curriculum, and technology. Research activities must fall within one or more of these strands, and are stimulated by state-of-the art thinking in each, combined with identified needs and priorities of the Philippines education system.2
