In the field of education, the introduction of technology is undoubtedly a profound shift. However, educational reform cannot be rushed, or it may backfire. Dr. David Yap, CEO of YELAOSHR Education Group, clearly points out that the successful implementation of educational technology (EdTech) requires a balance between team consensus, teachers’ adaptability, and investment costs.
“Educational reform is not about shouting slogans, nor is it a project that can be achieved overnight,” said Dr. David Yap. “The advancement of EdTech must be carried out in phases to ensure that teachers can gradually adapt, the team can reach a consensus, and, ultimately, it can have a real impact.”
EdTech’s Three-Phase Approach: Steady and Methodical Progress, Progressive Innovation
To ensure the successful adoption of educational technology, YELAOSHR plans to carry out EdTech implementation in three phases, ensuring that the reform’s impact is both steady and lasting.
Phase One: Building Infrastructure and Raising Awareness
In the first phase, YELAOSHR emphasizes building a strong foundation, including the introduction of the right educational technology tools and fostering awareness within the team:
– Infrastructure Development: Equipping teaching centers with intelligent management systems, digital learning platforms, and essential hardware devices.
– Building Awareness: Through workshops and demonstration lessons, assist teachers in understanding the role of educational technology and overcome resistance to new technologies.
“The key to success is the team’s acceptance. If frontline teachers are not involved, the reform cannot be sustained.” said Dr. David Yap
Phase Two: Trial Operation and Feedback Adjustment
Phase two focuses on a small-scale trial and improvements:
Trial Centre: Designate certain teaching centers as trials to monitor the practical impact of EdTech.
Data Driven Improvement: Optimize technology and procedures based on students’ learning results, teachers’ productivity, and parent feedback.
Training support: Offer comprehensive training to teachers at the trial centres, including guidance on using new tools and adjusting their teaching strategies.
“We are not focused on large-scale implementation, but rather to accumulate experience through trial runs, making sure every step paves the way for the next stage.”
Phase three: Full-scale Promotion and Innovative Development
Based on fully verified results, the third stage will focus on comprehensive rollout and innovative applications:
Complete coverage: Implement successful EdTech solutions across all teaching centers and provide continuous support.
Foster innovation: Encourage teachers in using technological creativity to design new teaching methods or curriculum content, for example, AI-based personalized learning plans.
“After the full rollout, the team will have consensus and experience, and teachers will move from being users to creators, with technology becoming the true force driving educational reform.”
The nature of reform: the formation of team consensus and influence.
Dr. David Yap is well aware that education reform cannot be completed solely through tools or technology. The key is the formation of team consensus. “Introducing educational technology is not about forcing change, but a gradual process of influence and agreement,” he remarked. “Only when the team recognizes the true value of EdTech and is willing to actively participate, only then can the reform’s impact steadily increase.”
This is the long-standing philosophy of YELAOSHR: advancing in phases with a scientific approach, enabling the team to grow through adaptation and foster innovation through understanding. “We are not looking for immediate success; instead, we are advancing towards the future of education with a more solid approach.”
Balancing investment returns ROI: A win-win situation for both technology and education.
Investing in educational technology requires funding, but Dr. David Yap sees it as a long-term investment worth pursuing. “Our goal is not short-term profits, but to create sustainable value for teachers and students through EdTech,” he stated.
Through the phase 3 approach, YELAOSHR not only offers greater cost flexibility but also provides teachers with enough time to adabt. “Instead of blindly chasing fast implementation, it’s wiser to realize true educational change through a more measured pace, which is the true intent of educational technology.”
Closing remark: Let technology empower education, rather than replace it.
“The core of education will always be people, with technology as a supplementary tool,” Dr. David Yap stated. “Through phased EdTech deployment, we hope to enable teachers to focus on the essence of teaching while equipping them with the tools to create more meaningful lessons.”
YELAOSHR’s educational technology strategy, with its steady progress approach, is providing a new practical model for educational reform. This human-centered, gradual innovation path not only allows teachers to embrace it with a peace of mind but also creates a better learning environment for students.
