Lots of officials and educators visiting Moranbong Middle School No. 1, which was nominated as one of top ten informatization model units in 2024, are very surprised at the informatization level of the school which has become able to conduct teaching administration and ensure that instruction and edification by teachers and study of students are carried on through the school LAN.

Their response to the practicality of its informatization is quite positive.

“When the school started the project for putting education on an IT basis, some educators suggested requesting help from relevant experts for the development of homepage or introducing advanced programs,” said the principal.

If we had done so, our informatization would have become the one that depends on others’ help or uses other units’ programs, he recalled.

Therefore, the school set itself the goal of realizing informatization of the school at a high level by its own efforts.

It is because an appropriate informatization system for the school could be established when the informatization is carried out by teachers who know best about the pedagogical requirements and knotty problems in the educational practice.

The school formed a development team with teachers of the IT department and reinforced the team with other competent teachers.

It also paid attention to finding out knotty problems in the educational practice.

After discovering such problems on the basis of the overall situation and development goal of the school, officials deliberated on them with the heads of departments and veteran and competent teachers and put the agreed points under collective discussion.

The homepage developed in line with such specific conditions proved effective. For example, as it enables teachers to conduct various teaching activities in a rational way, including the assigning of tasks for preview, a scientific analysis of their fulfilment and asking of questions to students according to their academic performance, students can prepare lessons sufficiently and teachers can give lessons on the basis of learning the students’ state of cognition, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of teaching.

The self-study support system is a program developed to overcome the defect that the subject class homepage can be used only in classrooms through LAN. Using this program, students can do review tasks at home and post the results on the subject class homepage.

The school officials also considered it as important for ensuring the practicality of informatization to take into account the students’ opinions, since teachers and students share the LAN homepage and various information technologies.

The most highly appreciated thing in the informatization level of the school is that it has a wealth of data on all subjects and lessons.

The school keeps upgrading the informatization of education in a more rational way to suit the preparedness of students.
