Developing a Sustainable iMVT Pedagogy in Chemistry: Challenges and Strategies for Education Change

摘要

Educational technology or ICT (Information and Communication Technology) is often part of school reform and education change nowadays.Educational technology should be integrated in subject learning and bears affordances that enhance subject learning.Further, a technology integrated innovative pedagogy should be sustainable in order to have real impact on learning.Based on such observation and beliefs, we describe how we have been developing an iMVT (Modeling and Visualization Technology integrated inquiry-based science learning) pedagogy for secondary school chemistry and making it sustainable in Singapore Secondary Schools.Process data and outcome data were collected and analysed.Our results showed that it took time, collective efforts, and system change in the schools in order to sustain the iMVT pedagogy.
