The Paradigm Shift In Learning Journeys
Strengths The approach allows us to use Geographical
Inquiry in Fieldwork Investigation which is aligned to the new syllabus requirement.
By using the approach it allows the students to identify the specific learning objectives and outcomes for the students.
It helps the teachers evaluate the activities to be carried out at the different destinations better.
It helps to ensure the quality the learning experience for the students and teachers.
The Paradigm Shift In Learning Journeys
Weakness/Areas for improvement Teachers may not be familiar with the
destinations in planning the activities. Teachers require more inputs from other
organizations e.g. Korean tourism organization and schools.
Limited Fund may limit the choice of destinations in aligning with the activities planned.
