Abstract

We all know that lesson plans are introduced to initial teachers as an initial management tool for self-scaffolding organizational learning, but little work has been done to identify what defines the critical thinking process underpinning the instructional design of Educational Technology-assisted scaffolds for individualized student learning. Our research project has investigated and developed a pedagogical protocol for the practical classroom implementation of Learning Plans as a personal task-management scaffold for student-centred learning. The teacher's role in enabling self-organized learning for large groups of students can be achieved through the deployment of Technology-based Learning Plans, which converts teacher-centered curriculum management into student-centered learning tasks suitable for application both inside and outside of the classroom. This paper briefly considers the pedagogical practice behind this innovative curriculum reform initiative in the context of a recently completed research project in Singapore.
