INTRODUCTION
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a
powerful medium that has become increasingly important to
society. The introduction of ICT as an elective subject in
Malaysian secondary schools will provide a valuable training
ground for students. This will help students relate their ICT
learning experiences to a progressive technology-based daily
life. The curriculum provides a platform for producing a
technologically capable work force. This will help meet the
challenges of a global economy.
This subject is offered to all Form 4 and Form 5 students. It
aims to provide them with the knowledge, skills and values
from several designated learning areas. It will also prepare
them for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination.
THE CURRICULUM SPECIFICATIONS
Suggested activities are incorporated as part of the teaching-
learning strategy. It should be borne in mind that teachers are
also encouraged and expected to employ other effective
strategies in line with the needs of the target group.
What is it?
The Curriculum Specifications is a document that
contains detailed explanations of the basic information
required within the subject curriculum. It is designed as
a teaching guide to help the teacher interpret and
implement the Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) syllabus in the classroom.
Who is it for?
This document is intended for ICT teachers teaching
the ICT subject at the Upper Secondary Level (Form 4
and Form 5) of the Kurikulum Bersepadu Sekolah
Menengah (KBSM).
What are the Learning Areas?
The six learning areas are as follows:
• Information and Communication Technology and
Society
• Computer Systems
• Computer Networks and Communications
• Multimedia
• Programming
• Information Systems
What information does it contain?
The ICT Curriculum Specifications contains the
following information:
• The various topics and recommended duration of
each topic
• The learning outcomes of each topic which
describe the skills to be acquired by students at
the end of the allotted time
1

• Suggested activities for each topic. Teachers are
free to select any or all of the recommended
activities or to design their own
The topics may be taught in any sequence without
compromising the quality of the curriculum. The teacher is not
confined to follow the order in which the topics are set out in
this document.
RECOMMENDED APPROACHES AND
STRATEGIES FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING
Appropriate teaching and learning approaches and strategies
are important for the achievement of the learning objectives
set out in the curriculum specifications. The teacher acts as
an instructor or a facilitator depending on the types of
activities and the learning outcomes.
Teaching Approaches
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) lessons
should be conducted using the teaching approaches stated
below.
The Knowledge-Based Approach
The knowledge-based approach in this curriculum
requires the teacher to act as an instructor. The
teacher is required to:
• introduce the field of study in terms of concept,
definition and terminology
• show and demonstrate the various software,
hardware and devices used in the learning areas
• provide instructional guidance which will form the
fundamental basis for students to grasp the
content of the syllabus
• encourage students to seek other sources of
information and reference, and to conduct
independent study whenever necessary
The Skill-Based Approach
The skills-based approach emphasizes student-centred
activities with the teacher providing explanations and
guidance whenever needed. As such, the teacher
plays the dual role of instructor and facilitator, and
should:
• provide hands-on guidance to students to help
them acquire relevant skills in each learning area
• guide students on standard operating procedures
involved in the various learning areas
• encourage students to work systematically
The Task-Based Approach
Task-based activities are almost completely student-
centred. The teacher’s role here will involve:
• providing advice on project management
procedures and task organization
• monitoring the progress of student projects
• giving advice, tips and recommendations
whenever needed
• evaluating the outcome of students’ work
2

Learning Strategies
The Self-Directed, Self-Accessed, Self-Assessed and Self-
Paced strategies (SeDAAP) are introduced within this
document.
The SeDAAP strategy is designed to encourage students to
take responsibility for their own learning and to develop self-
reliance and self-confidence within the parameters of the
assignments given. This strategy encourages the
development of independent learners, facilitates the forging of
productive work relationships among group members and also
serves to foster student discipline.
Self-Directed Learning
In self-directed learning, students determine the topics
they want to learn within a particular content area.
Self-Accessed Learning
In self-accessed learning, students search for and
locate information about specific topics from a variety
of sources not supplied by the teacher. These
information sources may include reference books,
magazines, CD-ROMs, the Internet, resource centres
and libraries.
Self-Assessed Learning
In self-assessed learning, students are encouraged to
evaluate their own progress within a particular topic.
This evaluation can be based on value judgements,
self-reflection or observation as well as on criteria lists
or evaluation rubrics provided by the teacher. If
students decide that a particular topic or skill has been
satisfactorily learned, they can then move on to another
topic.
Self-Paced Learning
In self-paced learning, students determine their own
pace in acquiring the prescribed knowledge and skills
in the various content areas within the syllabus. This
strategy encourages step-by-step learning in which
students monitor their own progress.
CURRICULUM CONTENT
The curriculum emphasizes the integration of knowledge,
skills and values.
Knowledge
The knowledge to be acquired in the ICT curriculum consists
of concepts and facts about ICT as well as ICT terminology. It
includes procedures in managing computer systems,
sequential processes in developing products, and
programming commands and syntax. It also integrates
discussions on current issues related to ICT and their
implications for the future.
