Applied Learning Programme (Robotics)
Our Applied Learning Programme which revolves around the theme, A Sustainable Environment with Robotics, aims to encourage innovation in the curriculum by getting students to explore how robotics work and how it is useful in our everyday life. Through the incorporation of elements of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Education, students make innovative projects, exciting discoveries and make learning come alive.
Vision
Empowering Students, Enabling Change
Outcomes
Students will learn basic programming skills that will form the foundation of understanding programming language. They will focus on screenless coding and block-based coding to understand the logic that goes into building codes.
Students will learn to be creative in solving problems. Through different problems and scenarios that our students will go through, they will learn to be creative in solving unknown problems that can be translated to different aspects of their lives.
Approach
Our ALP is structured in three tiers as follows:
| Tier | Student Population |
| 1 |
Experience All Primary 1 to Primary 6 students (Refer to Table 1) |
| 2 |
Extension Primary 1 and Primary 2 students in the enrichment programme Primary 3 to 6 Robotics Club students Primary 3 to 6 non-Robotics Club students who show aptitude |
| 3 |
Expertise Primary 3 to 6 Robotics Club students who show aptitude |
| Level | Module | Objective |
| Primary 1 | Basic logic of coding | To learn the fundamental concepts of coding in simple, logical steps |
| Primary 2 | Advance logic of coding | |
| Primary 3 | Fundamentals of robot construction | To apply basics of creating and programming autonomous robots |
| Primary 4 | Fundamentals of autonomous robots | |
| Primary 5 | Robots in real-world context | To build a robot to solve a real-world problem |
| Primary 6 | Code For Fun |
Process
In every ALP lesson, we use the following process to provide structures for learning in order to scaffold our students’ thinking.
