“So even if we know intellectually that things are
changing and changing faster, what we see and feel is
very different. And our experiences, and the feelings
that we get from them, are very, very influential in
determining our behaviour. So if it doesn't feel like
things are changing that much, we do not actively and
aggressively look for new ways to adapt to that
change. It's really that simple. And increasingly, it's
really that dangerous.”

Questions
JING SHAN PRIMARY SCHOOL THINKERS. LEARNERS. LEADERS.
Thinking routines that guide learners’ thought
processes and encourage active processing
Short, easy-to-learn-mini-strategies that extend
and deepen students’ thinking
A shift in classroom culture toward a community
of enthusiastically engaged thinkers and learners
JING SHAN PRIMARY SCHOOL THINKERS. LEARNERS. LEADERS.
Based on the inquiry-based approach
Uses the Science syllabus 5E Instructional Model
Re-designed the curriculum to factor in student
inquiry learning across formal and informal
settings mediated by 1:1 technologies
Enables students to learn seamlessly, fosters self-
directed learning, and develops deep learning
(Looi et al. 2010, Zhang et al., 2010).
