Abstract

Integration of information and communication technology (ICT) and subject curriculum is the core of the application of e-education. Taking Foshan city of Guangdong Province as an example, this paper studies the integration of ICT and curriculum in the basic education in the developed areas of China. In this paper, the application of ICT in primary and secondary schools is deeply understood by questionnaire survey, discussion with teachers & students and on-the-spot investigation. The course coverage, the class coverage and the effectiveness of Integration of ICT and curriculum are investigated and analyzed. The research results show that as the developed areas of China's e-education, the integration of ICT and curriculum in Foshan is much closed, and it is almost full coverage. In the aspect of effectiveness, ICT can effectively improve students' learning interest; improve the efficiency and the quality of classroom teaching, so as to improve the overall quality of students. For the specific effective degree, the school leaders, teachers and students have some differences in their views, and the effectiveness is still relatively subjective. There is no specific indicators which can be clearly confirmed the effectiveness. And, the corresponding research is less. In the future, the research of educational technology in the schools should be strengthened, and the effectiveness of the integration of ICT and curriculum should be paid more attention to.
