Applied Learning Programme (ALP)

应用学习项目

宏文学校的应用学习项目（ALP）通过与课程的结合，致力于培养拥有创意思维和善于创造的学习者（I to I）。我们坚信跨学科学习将能让学生在实际应用知识的真实学习环境中，更全面地理解并解决现实世界的问题。

为了支持“2030新加坡绿色发展蓝图”，宏文学校也将通过此应用学习项目培养学生对建设可持续未来的责任心。学生将有机会深入研究环境永续发展和创新等课题。

宏文的应用学习项目有三大目标：

1.    通过发展学生的批判性和创造性思维以及沟通和合作技能以培育有自信，有创意的领袖

2.    提供学生一个实际应用知识的真实学习环境以让他们具备理解现实问题的技能与能力

3.    提供机会和平台，培养学生的双语沟通技巧，让他们能够用两种语言表达自己的想法和创意。

为了设计有效的学习体验，学校将采用“改进版的设计思维”（Modified Design Thinking，MDT）来培养学生的21世纪核心能力和学习态度。“设计思维”有助于营造探究的氛围，让学生为自己的学习负责，通过不同阶段提出问题、探究并应用知识和技能来解决现实问题。同时，它也增加了学生间的合作机会，让他们适时获得老师与同侪的反馈。

我们的应用学习项目希望学生成为拥有思考能力、好奇心与同理心的终身学习者，努力实践并且积极应用知识与技能为社会创造价值。

KEY INFORMATION

The Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in Hong Wen School focuses on developing Innovative & Inventive Learners through Integration of Curriculum (I to I). We believe that interdisciplinary learning will give students a more holistic understanding of addressing real-world issues as they engage in the practical application of knowledge in an authentic learning environment.

In support of the Singapore Green Plan 2030, Hong Wen School will imbue in our students the responsibility to do their part in building a sustainable future through the ALP. Students will get a chance to delve deeper in areas of environmental sustainability and innovation.

Objectives of HWS ALP

To design effective learning experiences, the school will adopt the Modified Design Thinking (MDT) to develop the 21st CC and learning dispositions in our students. MDT supports a climate of inquiry where students are responsible for their own learning, going through the different phases to pose questions, investigate and apply knowledge and skills to real-world issues. It also increases the opportunities for collaboration and provides multiple instances for meaningful feedback from teacher and peers.

To nurture our students to learn for life and possess the intrinsic motivation to apply these relevant 21st CC to real world issues, the ALP will focus on developing two core dispositions in our students:

Learning Disposition of Thinking and Curiosity
As students embark on the inventive and critical thinking process of ideating and creating, the collaborative process of sharing ideas will help to increase their curiosity and desire to seek connections and explanations. The open sharing can lead to reflectiveness on their own views. They also learn to think independently through questions and build their ability to process information fairly and accurately.

Learning Disposition of Empathy
With the focus on real-world concerns on sustainability and the lack of resources, students learn to care for the environment (empathy) and explore ways to change habits to reduce negative impact on the environment.

At the end of the six years education with HWS, we envision our students to be:
