Reflection - Session 4

Have I come across any of the pedagogical approach as a student? How was the experience like?

Yes, my history lecturer in NAFA used resource-based approach as she gave us assignments which require us to do research from any form of materials (websites, books, journals, magazines, interview and etc.) She would also provide a few relevant links or suggest some readings which we could work on and to research beyond the given resources. Discussions in blackboard system was also used to obtain feedback and share information/ideas with peers.

What do you think are the relationship of these approaches?

Collaborative learning and Self directed learning is used in resource-based approach as we share, comment and discuss on our given topic. Lecturer facilitate learning and student learn at their own pace.

What roles do ICT play in these approaches?
Discussions in blackboard system facilitate learning and students are able discuss through internet. Resources are shared among students and thus, students could have a wider range of resource available to them to aid in their assignments. It also promote critical thinking skills and students provide comments to their peers.
