Learning Process

The Process

The programme adopts the Ethics Education approach borrowed from the Arigatou Foundation, Learning to Live Together: An Intercultural and Interfaith Programme for Ethics Education

The learning process is meant to ensure learners are actively involved in the learning experience. It takes learners through a process of discovery, which leads to reflection and continuous learning. Each of the program sessions moves through

MOTIVATION

It can be in form of stories, songs, poems, activities, photographs or pictures to stimulate the learner’s curiosity about the topic, challenge perceptions and motivate the learner to explore.

EXPLORATION

This is a time for learners to explore ideas and gain new insights and experiences through practical exercises. There is an atmosphere where learners open up to each other and are free to express themselves. 

DIALOGUE

The learners should share and exchange ideas, experiences, discover the others' and challenge their perceptions. Learners should feel comfortable to participate fully without feeling intimidated.

DISCOVERY

This will enable learners to discover new understandings and ideas. This may not come immediately and for all the learners at a go.

REFLECTION

This is a moment where one finds connection with self  where learners can put down their own learning in relation to practical situations and assess their values and attitude.

ACTION

At the end of each stage, the learners should identify actions they can undertake to promote peace, social coexistence and understanding of self and others.
