| Abstract | An initiative in Singapore’s education, Teach Less, Learn More (TLLM), is about teaching better to engage our learners and prepare them for life. Many schools in Singapore have begun their journey in redesigning and customising their curriculum to best prepare their students for the future. The author will showcase a problem-based learning geographical experience created for the Secondary Three students. The programme, “Education For Life”, aims to achieve the learning outcomes of engaging the students in real world problem solving, developing self-directed inquirers and achieving personal mastery. The collaborative effort of the teachers of the school is seen in the differentiated resources they had created for this programme. The students were given different resources and different scenarios to work with, according to their different ability levels. The context for this problem-based learning experience was set in the real world – the tropical rainforests of West Malaysia. It is within this geographical context that the students planned, assigned work, made observations, gathered data and arrived at certain conclusions. The paper examines how the students were taught the problem-based approach in asking questions, checking out possibilities, finding out facts and applying them to solve the crafted problem. The problem was about fulfilling a performance task of increasing an awareness of the people in such environments. The output was to design a service-learning project to address some needs of the community living in the forest and nearby plantation. This Education For Life programme is about learning the skills that can be carried over and sustained through life. (Orig.). |
