Pedagogical Approaches & Assessment
Among the training provided by Skolar Malaysia to other educators are:
​
1. Engaging Learners with Active Learning
​
Active learning is an effective way to engage students in the classroom and promote critical thinking skills. One simple approach is the "bookend" method, which combines in-class activities with lectures. To begin, use advance organizers by asking students questions about key concepts from their prior knowledge. Then, incorporate short intermittent activities, such as think-pair-share or in-class polling, into the lecture. These activities should take no more than 5 minutes, but are engaging enough to keep students focused and involved. By using the bookend approach, you can create a dynamic and interactive classroom environment that fosters student engagement and critical thinking.
​
Duration : 8 hours or 16 hours sessions
​
​
2. Team Based Learning
​
Cooperative learning is a structured approach to team-based learning that is guided by five key principles: positive interdependence, individual accountability, promotive face-to-face interaction, group goal processing, and interpersonal skills application. Some examples of cooperative learning techniques include jigsaw, group investigation, complex instruction, team games tournament, fishbowl discussions, and open-ended problem solving in a team. The main objective of this approach is to develop real team-working skills and problem-solving and critical thinking skills in students, preparing them for success in the workplace. Cooperative learning helps students learn to work effectively in teams, communicate effectively with others, and think critically and creatively to solve problems.
​
Duration: 8 hours or 16 hours sessions
​
3. Hybrid Learning
​
The current pandemic has posed challenges in teaching and learning, leading to the adoption of a hybrid approach that combines online and in-person elements. In this module, we will explore the concept of hybrid learning and how to effectively implement it in the classroom. We will distinguish between hybrid learning and hybrid classrooms, and discuss strategies for leveraging this approach to optimize learning outcomes. By the end of this module, participants will have a clear understanding of hybrid learning and the skills needed to effectively implement it in their own teaching.
​
Duration: 2 hours
​
4. Flipped Classroom
​
The Flipped Classroom approach is a teaching method where students watch videos and complete quizzes or assignments related to the topic before coming to class. During class, instead of a traditional lecture, students participate in interactive activities such as discussion, problem-solving, or hands-on projects that help them apply and deepen their understanding of the material. This approach allows for a more personalized and engaging learning experience, and helps students develop self-directed learning skills and a lifelong love of learning.
​
Duration : 16 hours
​
5. Reflective Learning Practices

In this module, you will learn about the importance of reflection in effective learning. You will understand what reflection is and why it is important for learners to reflect on their learning experiences. You will also explore different types of reflection activities that can be used in the classroom and learn how to be a reflective practitioner yourself. By the end of this module, you will have gained a deeper understanding of the role of reflection in teaching and learning and be able to implement it in your own practice.
