Abstract

The adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Southeast Asian (SEA) secondary schools is slow and is considered incompatible with cultural barriers, affecting students' learning outcomes, and teaching and learning experiences. To improve ICT adoption and compatibility in SEA schools, we propose culture-centered ICT guidelines and practices to support teachers and developers in designing, planning, and implementing ICT learning activities. The culture-centered ICT guidelines make use of cultural values and cultural motivational elements (CME) to enhance teaching and learning. The beneficiaries are ICT designers, developers, teachers, and students. The guidelines and practices were developed based on the success of innovative use of cultural activity metaphors, cultural theme metaphors, and proposition metaphors in Southeast Asian secondary schools, which improved learning outcomes and teaching and learning experiences. We propose four culture-centered ICT guidelines and practices. A new enhanced Human Computer Interaction (HCI) model is proposed for future ICT designs for Southeast Asian secondary schools.
