- Abstract
Currently, development in the world is knowledge-based, largely depending on the exchange of information through Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Therefore, countries equipped with technology and knowledge find it easy to participate in the "new electronic world" and tend to be the main players in its "socio-cultural and economic developments". To participate in the global knowledge economy, it is necessary to integrate ICT in education as a basis. However, the integration of ICT in education is to a large extend, determined by the countries' planning approaches that are assumed to be the necessary precondition for the successful implementation of the technology. Therefore, this paper hopes to uncover the appropriateness of planning approaches in various countries as per Human Development Index (HDI) groups adopted for implementation of blended pedagogies for participation in the global knowledge economy. Generally, countries in the very high and high HDI groups adopted the policy planning and analysis approach whereas those in the medium and low groups adopted a variety of approaches inclusive of collaborative and policy planning and analysis approaches. The paper concludes that the successful implementation of blended pedagogies relies on the appropriateness of the adopted planning approaches.
