INTRODUCTION TO EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY

SYNOPSIS
The last 20 years have seen a remarkable increase in our understanding of how people learn. These ideas have matured now to an extent that they are directly applicable to the teaching and the learning in higher education. However, despite these new developments, teachers tend to prefer the lecture-book-examination “trias” over perhaps more effective methods. This interactive lecture by Dr Fred Toke will outline and illustrate the various principles o learning and their translation into instruction. These ideas center around concepts such as the role of prior knowledge, knowledge construction, elaboration, context specificity of learning, and organization of knowledge.

DURATION & TIME
This is an 8-session (24 lecture hours) once a week  program from 7pm to 10pm.

TEACHING APPROACH
Our training approach is based on adult experiential learning principles in which the participant is regarded as the most important ingredient in the learning process. The curriculum and interactive learning environment provide the opportunity to discuss, apply, reflect and acquire hands-on skills. Skills gained can be introduced immediately into the participant’s personal and professional lives.

"Yesterday, I attended a Seminar that was held at Queenstown area by a renowned psychologist of Singapore. I was positively overwhelmed and blown away by what I had learnt!

This speaker, Dr Fred Toke (PhD Psychology), was well versed with the anatomy and physiology of the brain of a child. He talked on the various brain abnormalities that are typical of ADHD child and how video gamings are actually inducing the kind of brain development similar to that of a ADHD child. Even though I am a medical doctor by training, this well-trained psychologist managed to impress me by the depth of medical psychology that he possessed."
