Disciplinary Intuitions. United Kingdom - Southeast Asia Knowledge Partnership: Collaborative Development Award 2014

all Glory be to God alone.

through the auspices of the United Kingdom - Southeast Asia Knowledge Partnership, the British High Commission, Singapore and the British Council have privileged me with a Collaborative Development Award worth GBP2000.

my host institution is the University College London - Institute of Education (UCL IoE); specifically, its Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment Department.

my fortnight’s stay with them will be on the theme of Approaching Citizenship Education and STEM Education through the lens of Disciplinary Intuitions.

Six Learnings / Disciplinary Intuitions has won an NTU 'Excellence in Education' (EdeX) grant

thanks be to God for His continued Grace.

my team has just been awarded an ‘Excellence in Education’ (EdeX) grant by the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), for our work in Disciplinary Intuitions and the Six Learnings curriculum design framework.

this US$25,000 grant Surfacing Intuitions and Misconceptions in the analysis of circuits with an Immersive Learning Environment will allow us to work alongside Ast/P Andy Khong from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) to craft the first-year undergraduate course IM1002 Analog Electronics from the perspective of Disciplinary Intuitions.

we are extremely excited, and look forward to working with - and learning from - Andy and his students from the Information Engineering and Media degree programme in 2015 / 2016!

Disciplinary Intuitions - we have received the hardcover!

today, we received the first hardcover of Disciplinary Intuitions and the Design of Learning Environments :-)

the Six Learnings / Disciplinary Intuitions programme - fourth tranche of funding approved

in His perfect timing and all-sufficient Grace, God has provided a fourth tranche of funding for the Six Learnings / Disciplinary Intuitions programme.

what is especially humbling is this fourth tranche runs concurrent with the third tranche.

“Worlds in Your Pocket” - Building towards a self-sustainable multi-school diffusion of the Six Learnings / Disciplinary Intuitions learning programme (to give the programme its full name) will be funded by a grant worth approximately US$140,000, under the eduLab initiative between the Ministry of Education and the National Institute of Education.

if you would like your school to be involved in the scaling and translation of this programme, my team and i would be happy to make an appointment with you :-)
