COURSE OBJECTIVES
This programme spans over 5 days in Singapore and focuses on fostering teaching skills and knowledge about learning types. It aims to facilitate the development of teaching effectiveness in multi-disciplinary programmes in order to better achieve competency learning and constructive thinking. Students will explore and reflect on themes mainly competency-oriented learning, problem-based learning, challenge-based learning and driving independent thinking as well as learn how to apply these concepts for effective and dynamic teaching. The programme will adopt a dialectic approach which involves a mix of thematic discussions and active classroom learning, allowing students to experience the actions of the above-mentioned themes themselves while going through the training.
PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS
The programme comprises 4 discussion driven workshops at 3 hours per module over 4 days. The first 2 hours will be interactive lecture and the final 1 hour will be a facilitated discussion segment followed by a debrief. The programme will culminate with small group presentations at the end of the programme on the fifth day and last session. Workshop activities will be scaffolded to ensure that students are well-prepared for their final presentation and received prior guidance.
