The IMPACT Learning System

IMPACT (Instructional Management by Parents, Commuity and Teachers) System was developed in the 70's with funding from the International Development Research Center (IDRC). The system heavily relies on self-learning modules based on the curriculum of the Department of Education. As basic education curriculum changed over time, these learning materials likewise were revised. The latest revision was undertaken to align these materials with the Revised Basic Education Curriculum of the Department of Education. The materials were enhanced with multimedia components such as audio and video supplements and self-learning modules on computer technology. The system is currently being piloted in six schools throughout the country, one in Luzon area, three in the Bicol Regino, one in Central Visayas, and one on Region 9 (Mindanao).

IMPACT in Zamboanga and ARMM. This project, being funded by the USAID EQuALLS saimed to pilot the IMPACT Learning System in schools in Mindanao with predominantly Muslim learners. Before the actual pilot, the learning modules were submitted to a review and revision process to make the learning modules more relevant, appropriate and sensitive to Muslim learners. Three beneficiary schools were identified--two in Zamboanga City, Region 9 and one in Basilan, ARMM. School heads and staff of these three schools were provided several training on the implementation of the learing system and the schools were given financials, technical and material support during the pilot of the system. The projet started last November 2005 and is about to conclude project activities. The remaining activity is the monitoring and evaluation of the project.
