What is Systematic Planning Process

This chapter introduces the retrieve, revise, implement, and review (RRIR) ICT integration model, created by the author, to assist teachers in systematically planning lessons in information communication technologies (ICT). A case study design was used to collect data in two parts from Teachers in 30 primary schools in Trinidad and Tobago. The first part required the teachers to use the RRIR model log book for one school term. The second part used focus group sessions to inquire about the teachers' perceptions, pedagogical changes, and the factors influencing their decision to continue using the RRIR model log book. The data revealed four broad themes: support for pedagogical innovation, adaptability and intentional instructional changes, approaches to ICT integration, and school leadership. Overall, the teachers disclosed that the RRIR ICT integration model allowed them to plan their ICT integrated lessons reflectively. Concerning the school context, further research is needed to elucidate its impact since teachers reflected on barriers to the ICT integration process in schools.
