Educational article taken from The Strait Times Sat 18 Sep. Sounds like the buzz word for education currently is "Teach less, Learn more". What implications does this have for our class? Definitely, in many areas. As structure drives behaviour, I guess we have made a start to re-arrange our classroom into functional, practical groups to facilitate co-operative learning. Learning in our class would gradually move from a Big Brain (yours truly) to Small Brains approach to one where there would be more connectivity between the pupils. The role of a teacher will shift to one of a facilitator pulling together different resources combined with sound instructional design to get pupils to complete meaningful authentic tasks. Stay TUNED!!!
