Skill-Based Approach-ICTL

Skill-Based ApproachSkill-Based Approach

The skill-based approach emphasizes student-centred activities with the teacher playing the dual role of instructor and facilitator. The teacher should:
• Provide hands-on guidance to pupils to help them acquire relevant skills
in each learning area
• Encourage pupils to develop their skills independently and systematically

Project-based Learning Approach
Project-based learning approach is student-centred. It focuses on individual or group activities that go on over a period, resulting in a final product,presentation or performance.For example, E-scrap books, multimedia presentations and simple applications. The product is focused on the learning areas and is integrated across the curriculum over subjects such as the English language, the Sciences and Environmental studies. In facilitating project-based activities, the teacher should;
• provide advice on project management procedures and task organisation
• monitor the progress of student projects
• give advice, tips and recommendations whenever needed
• assess the outcome of pupils’ work
