Children and mom went on a trip with church friends to JB yesterday. They had a great time shopping and watched two movies: Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian. Tickets cost RM$9 and RM$6 for an adult and a child respectively. Mom bought slippers for Sherm and me, and a bag for Sheryl. They returned slightly past midnight.
I went on a learning journey with my department to Republic Polytechnic, finding out more about their Problem-Based Learning approach to T & L. It was an eye opener seeing how lessons were conducted in three different sessions all within a day. The first session was exploratory in nature, getting to know and understand the problem. The session session probed deeper into the problem with worksheets to guide students in their thought processes. For the third session, each group had to present their findings using powerpoint.
We can certainly see the benefits of this approach to learning. Students were picking up many important life skills such as communication and research skills, which would stand them in good stead for the future.
