Promoting Innovative Learning in Training and Adult Education -- A Singapore Story
Chen, Zan; Chia, Arthur; Bi, Xiaofang
Studies in Continuing Education, v43 n2 p196-207 2021
In line with Singapore's nationwide digital journey, the Training and Adult Education (TAE) sector of Singapore has launched the Innovation Learning 2020 initiative to catalyse the adoption of technology in the TAE sector. This paper presents findings from three projects we have conducted on innovative learning and discusses how learning and innovation can be supported. We first present findings from the first nationwide survey of the TAE landscape on the current status of innovative learning. Our findings show that a good proportion of training providers and adult educators are adopting blended learning to respond to the changes and new demand in the TAE market. We then present a case of a blended learning course for workers from Maritime industry that demonstrates how blended learning can be designed and conducted to provide a seamless learning experience for learners to embrace the affordances of tech-enabled learning, workplace supervisions and face-to-face classroom interactions. Lastly, we discuss how innovation and learning can be enabled at the workplace and present a model to support innovative learning culture at the workplace.
