ACTIVE LEARNING

Kebelakangan ini pelajar sepatutnya diajar secara hands-on & minds-on agar menjadi pelajar yang berfikrah selaras dengan Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan dan Wawasan 2020. Tetapi realitinya guru masih gemar kepada pembelajaran yang berpusatkan guru, kerana kekuatannya adalah cepat dapat habiskan sukatan pelajaran, pelajar juga cepat faham. Kelemahannya pelajar cepat lupa kerana ilmu ibaratnya dicurahkan ke minda pelajar. Apa pendapat anda pula?

HIGH-QUALITY TEACHING

High-quality teaching requires that teachers have a deep knowledge of subject matter. For this there is no substitute.
A core premise of high-quality teaching is that the ability to teach, contrary to myth, is not "something you're born with"; it can be learned and refined over time. Specific teaching skills, for example, the ability to distinguish between what is most important for students to learn and what is hardest for them to understand, can only be acquired through training, mentoring, collaboration with peers, and practice.
