Dr Yap Talked about Richard Skempe learning theory:- Procedural
- Conceptual (Concrete Materials)
-conventional Knowledge
Again the 4 divide 2/3; he explained with the model, and its a straight forward solution. but when it came to the quiz...I am lost! As mentioned by Dr Yap as he recapped on how we had been doing in our school days.We laughed at ourselves but really old habit die hard. Honestly, I could not even remember about this type of math problem....oops.
But I am glad that Dr Yap talked about the assessment which I could apply with my preschoolers. I would consider to use the pen and pencil test for the K2s.
I have always enjoy teachings to be taken outdoor as children could relate and see the connection between what they have learnt and applied. I remembered my 9 years daughter who went on a Math trail..I think they visited places around NIE to solve some mathematical concept. I like that approach and would continue to apply to my preschoolers with small projects that would cover all domains of EC.
Dr Yap went to talk about "Time" and how we could teach to children. I realised that I have taught it the way I was in school. Thanks to Dr Yap , his explaination makes lots of sense that 'Time is a Moment' and to associate time with the event (physical quantity). I will take effort to teach children about time daily and observed the children ( for assessment purposes)
Actually I am not bothered if I have not absorbed some of mathematical concepts taught through out this course but Dr Yap delivery of his lectures inspired me to be dilligent, well informed and seeked out information. He has made efforts using his 'barang' to show us how we could manipulate math.
Thanks a million.
I will start with reading up spiral...MOE...???
