AED08C THINKING DEEP IN EDUCATION

This course is one of the Deeper Experiential Engagement Projects (DEEP) series of GERs, and aims to make use of projects arising from hobby/interest-based activities to develop your awareness of the relevance of pedagogical practices beyond the classroom. In particular, you will be addressing topics common to your hobbies and everyday living e.g. relating to any teaching and learning experiences, living things around our campus, apps that have a relevance to pedagogy etc. Through hands-on team-based projects in tracks such as Education, Humanities, Visual Performing Arts & Languages or Sciences, you will further learn how to creatively and experimentally approach a challenging theme related to your hobby/interest e.g. counselling, gardening, app programming. You will also work towards a solution/product with your team through experimental trials. This Experiential Learning project may take place in halls with Residential Education facilities, NIE/NTU Clubs and Society spaces, or in any appropriate spaces provisioned by NIE for such work. You will learn experimental approaches, how to manage time and resources, and consider how your newly acquired knowledge and skills can be used to benefit others.
