The document provides details about:
1) The "WINGS" program aims to develop students' abilities through question-based learning and hands-on activities tailored to their needs.
2) Teachers design multi-disciplinary lessons incorporating subjects like English, math, and science to stimulate students' thinking.
3) Students work in small groups on projects and research to find solutions, developing their communication and collaboration skills.
Woodgrove Secondary School in Singapore implemented the i-DAL (Immersion in Design-based Active Learning) approach to transform students into active learners. The approach includes immersions where students explore the real world, such as interacting with elderly residents to understand user needs for their design projects. Students develop skills through pre-immersion training and reflect on their learning after immersions. The goal is to better engage students, foster cross-disciplinary thinking, and prepare them for the future through an experiential, project-based learning model centered around design.
