Experience
I was teaching fulltime in Edgefield Secondary for Physics, and will be planning to return to MOE this year.
1. Experienced in both Express and Normal Academic Physics(SPA) and Science(Physics) syllabus. Also proficient in E-Math, A-Math and Chemistry for 'O' and 'NA' syllabus.
2. Been teaching for almost 12 years.
The main issue faced by students in Physics stems from poor conceptual understanding and a lack of exposure to a variety of questions. Currently, there is a clear trend towards more application-based and conceptual questions, more qualitative than quantitative questioning.
Self-study has only a limited effect on a student's understanding and may perpetuate misconceptions due to a lack of guidance from school teachers and/or incorrect methods picked up from peers. Thus, the 'need' for proper supervision. This unfortunately is how competitive the educational landscape has become, and will continue to be for decades ahead due to Singapore's strategic focus on human capital.
I use ICT tools in my profession as an MOE teacher to enable students to visualize concepts taught as Physics goes beyond just mathematical formulae. Indeed, proper appreciation of the subject matter requires a student to have a mental picture of the relationships between math and physical phenomenon. Once this foundation has been laid, the student can then build on it and handle higher-order questions. More importantly, the student will come to enjoy Physics and how it can be used to better our environment instead of treating it as just another examinable subject.
I have worked with both high-ability students targeting distinctions and weaker students who have had constant struggles to pass even from lower secondary. Differentiated techniques are needed to push these students to maximize their potential, but more importantly, to develop their mind in their learning of Physics and how it applies to their world.
