Sunday, August 27, 2006 jus came from Residence to Connie's place.came here with bubble tea bought. and i had Pizza Pizza. hmm, not too bad, not too good either. haha. nothng much happened in school today. except i, forgot where i placed my file, and there's some notes intside. however, fortunately, there was no homework in there. else, i'd kill myself, instead of waiting till my Tutors kill mi!! and i realise something, Singapore's way of teaching has to be changed. as much as they say, they wanna develop creative thinking, it is not happening. why? because, we were taught to find only one RIGHT answer. jus like math. and i realise, the reason why Singapore kids are becoming reliant and dependent on teachers, is due to the fact that, when they are being taught, they jus accept watever the teachers say. they are NOT taught how to disagree with the teachers. neither are they taught how to support their answers when they disagree with the teachers. also, i feel that most Teachers In Singapore, their teachings are actually boring. why did i say that? because, they have not much interaction with the kids. for example, in my Individual and Family Studies Course, im studying the topic about Family. we are called out to write wat are the types of Family, and the functions of a Family. and we are always in different groups. we are asked to present it as a group. then after all that, then we'll be taught about the topic. from our presentation. with this, it will build up our confidence in speaking, and we'll be able to build bonds within the classroom. the tutor of mine, tries to do things that will relate to us. like, on the second day, we did our FORMAL introduction of ourselves, we did activities to make the introduction fun. and my tutor did it together. she, didnt once made the class boring. this is wat i feel is lacking in Singapore. Interaction between teachers and students. the ability to speak up. the ability to independent studies. im still not quite used to speaking up. why? cause i wasnt taught that way. i know in Universities in Singapore, they're doing wat i jus said. however, it is the kind of culture that Singapore's Education system should adapt, since the students are in Secondary education. Singapore canNOT wait till they go up to Uni, before they are taught to be vocal. hence, i feel that, something must really be done as early as possible,before students realise that they are actually missing out alot. |
