Have I come across any of the pedagogical approach as a student? How was the experience like?
Project based learning is the type that i came across many times when I was a student. I did projects for many subjects such as Science, English, Literature. I could vividly remember the time when I did a project on Cloning. I had to design a brochure regarding cloning. From then on, I've learnt skills on how to create a brochure, and the information on cloning stays with me till now.
The other approach I enjoyed is Game-based learning. For example, I enjoy playing education computer games. I had a math game software that teaches me primary school math such as fractions, division... etc. Through that game, it generate my interest in math and improve my results. It allows me to learn freely.
What do you think are the relationship of these approaches?
All these approaches are student-centred. Self directed learning, collaboration learning, cooperation learning takes place in these approaches. Students will be engaged and learn in a stress free way. It is not teacher centered and teacher acts as facilitator instead of the information provider.
What roles do ICT play in these approach?
- It allows collaboration to take place easily
- It allows students to record information easily
- It allows students to search for information
- It allows the students to present their information in a more organized manner
- It allows instant feedback from the facilitator.
- It allows the students to plan their project in a more systematic manner (mind meister)
