Correction And Clarification 3

Issue #4

Does a teacher need to prepare his own multimedia presentations for some of the PPSMI lessons or the courseware provided by the ministry is sufficient? Multimedia presentations are supposed to make learning easier and more interesting. However, why is it that many Science and Mathematics lessons fail to arouse enthusiasm among students? On top of that, the Science and Mathematics test and examination results have not been indicating sufficient understanding of the subject matter.

Issue #5

Have we been overly emphasizing form rather than substance; ceremony rather than Science?

Issue #6

Do you think it is important for PPSMI teachers to access the Internet? Are there useful materials from the Internet that can help to enhance the quality of teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics? Should the students be given the opportunity to use the Internet? Should students be given Internet-based projects to do?
