SINGAPORE : Getting Singaporeans to be caring, motivated and rooted to their country is one objective set out by educators at the inaugural Place-based Education Seminar held at Raffles Institution on Wednesday morning.
Place-based education is way of teaching that emphasises hands-on and real-world learning experiences.
Through this method, educators hope to open opportunities for students to connect with one another, their school and community through deep, meaningful engagements and projects.
Senior Minister of State for Education and National Development Grace Fu said genuine growth and learning are only possible by connecting school activity with everyday experiences.
She said: "With its aim to establish the connections between youth, the school and the community, the pedagogy not only enables the delivery of the academic curriculum, it also facilitates holistic student development.
"It inculcates in our students a sense of belonging to the community and nation. Most importantly, it can make learning fun and effective."
