This course educates and trains D&T teachers to facilitate pupils in designing.

Course synopsis

Facilitating secondary school pupils in designing demands an understanding of the design process in-action at the secondary school level.  Teacher-as-designer; teacher-pupil designer-coach in-action; and building of a culture of creative-self in teacher and in pupil are three broad practices that intertwined in the design process in-action, and influence the way to facilitate pupils in designing.  They comprise a range of unique pedagogical acts necessary for an effective facilitation process.  This course educates and trains D&T teachers to facilitate pupils in designing using this range of pedagogical acts underpinned by the Singapore D&T education philosophy and centred on the 2019 D&T Teaching & Learning Syllabus for Upper Secondary.
