Applied Learning Programme

Applied Learning Programme provides meaningful and purposeful age-appropriate opportunities for real-life application of learning. They allow for experimentation, self-discovery and joy of learning.

STUDENT AS DESIGNER FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Student As Designer for the 21st Century is a 6-year programme where computational thinking takes centre-stage using coding applications and design thinking protocol to help students to:

decomposition – break down a complex problem into smaller, more manageable parts
pattern recognition – look for similarities among and within problems
abstraction – focus on important information; omitting irrelevant details
algorithms – develop a step-by-step solution to the problem; set up rules to follow to solve the problem

The table below shows how P5 and P6 students may be looking at issues related to Air Transportation and they will be led through a series of discussions, research and using their knowledge learnt in coding of drones to devise solution/s to solve the identified issues / problems.

At the end of P6, student will be able to

Demonstrate 21st Century Competencies through Computational Thinking and Thinking Skills
Develop Problem-Solving Capabilities for the Future
Develop ICT skills for the future workforce
Contribute back to the community leveraging on technology

P3 Students using Microbit

P5 Students Troubleshooting their Flight Plan (Coding)
