Some faculty members of MSU-IIT, College of Education, in collaboration with the Department of Education, Iligan City Division, are pursuing a classroom-based action research through the Iligan Community of Learning Action Research (ICoLAR) Project. This endeavor aims to reflect and facilitate effective ICT integration in the classroom and determine its impact on students’ progress and achievement. The action researches will be focused on the enhancement of curriculum and instruction and promotion of a student-centered classroom.
