ARCHIVE ON MASTERY LEARNING FOR SCHOOLS

Resource ideas for the Department of Education in Papua New Guinea.

This archive report will be given in the new year to all schools in National
Capital District.

Voluntary workshops will be offered. Already two workshops were conducted
at Kila Kila Secondary and Boreboa primary schools.

Teachers were very happy and amazed.

A skilled design team will remove all problems term by term. They could be one term ahead in all grades until the job is finished. All grades could complete the one common core of mastery exercises. We all start at the start.

In the dying weeks of 2012, much is happening in Papua New Guinea on the matter of Outcome Based Education.

There has been a batch of media reports attacking and defending OBE and vernacular teaching in elementary school with comments on this blog.  Please click:

PHONICS WITH DR SEUSS AND CAT


BLOOM BRINGS BACK THE BASICS


Having discussed Mastery Learning with teachers over a year, I find there are many who support vernacular teaching. I really do not want to oppose their views nor downgrade the importance of vernacular learning.

I would seek a compromise in which vernacular learning is carried out 2 periods a week from Grades 1-6 in the new system. Phonics is the only way to go.

It is good to read in The National today the statement by the Prime Minister that vernacular could be taught part time only. Who says nobody reads our blog?

The only option for teaching is Mastery Learning that proceeds from  simple to complex, whole to part, part to whole, concrete to abstract, known to unknown with recency and frequency. Mastery Learning is how Outcome Based Education should have been.
