    1) An integrated learning system (ILS) uses computer-administered assessments to determine a student's current achievement level and breaks content into small units, teaching units sequentially and providing remediation as needed. 2) ILS focuses on basic skills like literacy and numeracy and uses computer aided instruction modules to present materials while management systems track student performance. 3) For an ILS to be effective, it requires clear curriculum objectives, properly trained teachers, and regular student access along with evaluative testing to assess student understanding and the system's effectiveness.

    INTEGRATED LEARNING SYSTEM

    ILS is generally begins with a computer-administered diagnostic-prescriptive


    evaluation of the student's current achievement level. Then the software breaks down
    the content to be taught into small units, teaches a unit, assesses progress, then moves
    on to the next unit or provides remedial instruction as indicated.

    ILS tends to focus on basic skills such as literacy and numeracy. It also used to
    deliver any teaching materials. There are two main components of ILS which are
    computer aided instruction modules (CAI) and management system. Management
    system keep records of the students performance and allows teachers to set up all the
    different course options in order to suit their teaching styles and the pupil’s needs while
    CAI modules present the teaching materials to be used in the classroom in order to
    apply educational software.

    In ILS each pupil has their own learning program. If they perform well, they can
    make rapid progress onto higher levels of difficulty. However, if they experience
    problems, they will be given more practice and additional tutorials on the skills needed to
    deal with the particular topic. In order to monitor pupils progress the teacher have to
    access a lot of data in highlighting the pupils who are having difficulty or in need of
    additional support. For instance, the collected data is gathered automatically and can be
    printed out in a series of different reports. The Management System will be able to
    predict future performance of the pupils. Therefore, the teacher can detect the problems
    and will come up with solutions and actions to deal with it. Moreover, the Management
    System will monitor the pupils’ performance constantly. One example of ILS is Success
    Maker. However, Success Maker is only being introduced in UK and it is not available in
    Malaysia yet. Meanwhile, there are methods to ensure the effectiveness of ILS. One of
    the methods is the school should have clear curriculum objectives for the ILS in order to
    improve the level of basic skills of all pupils.

    Next, careful thought should be given to the staff who will be involved with the
    ILS. Since proper use of the ILS is likely to have timetable implications, there should be
    a member of the senior management team who has overall responsibility for the
    successful implementation of the system. Without such a person, pupils are unlikely to
    get the number of ILS sessions they need each week and the potential benefits are
    much reduced. The subject specialist which is the teacher himself also has to be
    considered as they are responsible to manage their own class. They have to be alert
    and equip themselves with technical skills so that they are able to apply ILS in the
    classroom effectively. Each teacher have to be trained and understand thoroughly how
    to use the system features along with their own professional skills in order to achieve the
    best result for their classes.

    Furthermore, the pupils should also have regular access to the system. This is
    due to give assistance to the teacher to monitor the pupils’ responses and achievement.
    However, the teacher should arrange the timetable to suit with the pupils. The session
    could be divided up so that 10 minutes is spent on mathematics, 10 minutes on reading
    and 5 minutes on spelling, leaving 5 minutes for classroom management. This way the
    time spent will be meaningful and effective. Based on ILS, the most suitable learning
    theory that can be connected to is constructivism learning theory. This is when the pupils
    develop their knowledge stage by stage as the teacher plays the role as a scaffolding
    tool in assisting the pupils to construct their own knowledge. As the pupils are working
    on their own actively and most of the time they learn by themselves (self discovery and
    self experimental).

    In integrating ILS in the classroom, an evaluative test will be given in each of the
    lesson. By using a program design by the teacher, pupils are required to answer
    questions after the lesson. The evaluative test will consists of questions of the particular
    day lesson in different level of difficulty. This is to detect whether the students
    understand the lesson or not. The result of the test will show about the weaknesses of a
    particular pupil in a particular area so that a teacher could do a remedial class to make
    sure the pupils master the lesson taught. The evaluative test is deemed to act as
    measuring stick whether the ILS is working effectively. It also act as a form of feedback
    and the result of this evaluative test should be given to parents so that they would have
    equal chance to monitor their own children’s progress so as the teachers. To fully
    integrate ILS in the classroom, the classroom itself should be well equipped with
    computers and internet connection.

    In conclusion, ILS presents a lot of positive usage to apply in the curriculum.


    Teachers should prepare themselves to ensure that they are well equipped in order to
    use ILS while the process of teaching and learning in the classroom. We strongly agree
    this method should be used in current teaching and learning process. By doing this,
    teachers could monitor their pupil’s achievement and detect their problems so that they
    could understand what have been taught by the teacher.
