Practical Approach to Information Communication Technology (ICT)

Authors: Elika S. Farshid Mehr,  Frederic D. Yulo

About Information Communication Technology (ICT)

Technology as we understand it today began its predominant presence in people’s daily life more than 20 years ago. But the need to know it more closely and utilize it out of necessity did not exist until the birth of the new millennia. Today’s success in education, business, administration, government, and military aspect is vitally dependent to technology. However, what makes technology so important is not technology itself or the common attributes that are given to it, such as convenience, reduced costs, ease of access and etc. but what gives notion and meaning to it—that is Information. Information since the dawn of history has been a vital source of man’s survival and success. Today’s success, however, does not only depend on much information one has but how fast he/ she can access, exploit, create and communicate it. This is where technology and information unit work to people’s advantage and make it so important to learn how they work and how they move each day’s activities to the next.

The Idea of Writing this book

The notion of creating this book developed about a year ago. The primary objective was to provide a simplified and inexpensive way of learning ICT for students and learners in the Philippines. As educators in higher education level we were able to observe students’ limitations and lack of eagerness in purchasing prescribed textbooks mainly due to lack of funds. Therefore we came up with the idea of creating a concise, practical, and inexpensive book which would contain essential knowledge that everyone has to know about technology. With our family, friends, and colleagues encouragements we were motivated to set the plans into motion and began drafting the very first chapters. And after a year of debating and adding and removing chapters and sections we have finally come to offer the compilation of all things we found, wrote and found useful to the reader. This book has been made for anyone specially those who have little means to purchase gadgets or computers or learn IT closely.

The readers are encouraged to send their valuable feedbacks to fredericyulo@ yahoo.com. Suggestions for the improvement of the text are also welcome.

    This book is primarily intended for an undergraduate study of the life, works, and writings of our Great National Hero Di Jose Rizal. It must be remembered that, under the provisions of Republic Act. No, 1425, otherwise known as the Rizal Law, students in whatever coarse they pursue are required to undergo a study of the life, works, and writings of Dr. Jose Rizal.

    The life and ideals of Rizal have served as inspiration not only to Filipinos but also to all freedom loving people throughout the world. We trust that this publication will broaden our understanding on the exemplary life and timeless ideals of Rizal.

    In the completion of this book, the authors would like to thank Atty. Christopher Lycurgus Morania and Lorraine C. Castañeda of Bantog and Andaya Law Offices. Acknowledgement are likewise extended to the authors' respective families for their help and inspiration in making this book.

  • Introduction to Pscyhology(Bataga)

    Authors: Noemi U. Bataga, Donnabelle, A. Castro, Charmaine Grace L. Abregana

    Contributor: Saidamin P. Bagolong

    The purpose of this textbook is to serve as an introductory course in Psychology. The book contains eleven chapters covering the basics of Psychology. In addition, this is designed to facilitate the integral development of students for them to understand concepts on human development, behavior, emotion and motivation as well as the salient features of intelligence and personality thereby realizing the fullness of individuals.

    Even though this is an introductory textbook, we see to it that the students will learn to appreciate how Psychology can help them to see themselves as members of the community.

    This is not just a compilation of concepts and theories but also constitutes a field that can make a difference in your life, in your communities and in our world.

    This textbook could not have been written without help from many people whose ideas we have borrowed, modified and incorporated. To them we are especially indebted.

     

  • General Psychology 2013 (Birion)

    Authors: Juan C. Birion, Marilou C. Asturias, Elmer G. De Jose, Jane Marie M. Dimacisil, Percival B. Salise, Jonathan B. Tinio, Jan Joseph Villegas

    In writing this book, we believe that an introductory- course in psychology should provide clear understanding of what psychologists study, how they think and how they work. We also have a feeling that the teaching of an introductory psychology should cover wide and general topics fitting for a one-semester course covering as many topics that would be useful especially to those who would embark in advanced studies in this interesting academic field_ That is the reason why fifteen chapters are included in this book touching on topics of interest of the various schools of thoughts with varying perspectives. We do not intend to be eclectic, but we believe that psychology should not be structured and retarded due to boundaries in such a way that would hamper new knowledge and discoveries to emerge. Our understanding of human behavior should be continuing through intensive research and let novel theories and assumptions grow since human activities continue to change brought about by new gadgets and technology.. The student should'. able to gain much knowledge of facts and principles governing human behavior_ This is our gain

    This book is truly a group effort. Two psychology professors from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Dr. Juan C. Birion who leads the group, together with Prof. Elmer G. De Jose, Assistant to the Vice President for Research; Vice President of Student Affairs of the Rizal Technological University, Dr. Marilou C. Asturian Prof. Jane Marie M. Dimacisil, professor of psychology and philosophy at the University of Perpetual Help-Biñan, Laguna (UPHL); Prof. Percival B. Salise, psychology professor of the University of Manila: Prof. Jonathan B. Tinio, Program Coordinator of the Psychology Unit of the College of Arts and Sciences at Holy Angel University-Angeles City. Pampanga; and Dr. Jan Joseph Villegas, International Lecturer of Psychology and Biological Sciences at the Asia Pacific Region. We were involved in the book's production in one way or another_

    This book may not be the perfect book as we envisaged, but it is certainly an adequate representation of the most important areas in psychology. Hopefully, it will advance understanding of human behavior and will lead to newer, snore encompassing and more -useful principles governing human behavior. Its distinct features compared with other books in circulation are the inclusion of topics on history of psychology in the Philippines, and with some special topics on human development, intelligence and cognitive psychology, counseling psychology, social psychology and psychological assessment. Photographs of noted psychologists were illustrated so that students and readers will get familiar to them. Special types of exercises and techniques could help teachers vary in their approaches to teaching and make these approaches interesting and meaningful to students. A general psychology hook should develop in the students the attitude of studying human behavior in a scientific way that psychology is a science. It is to these students that this book is aimed, and it is hoped that the features of the text will help reach its targets.
