Preservice and inservice teachers in our BEd(SN) program require comprehensive training that integrates theory with practical experiences to effectively prepare them to cater for learning diversity in the classroom. Our proposed web-based and videoed Field Experience (FE) guidebook aims to provide our student teachers with immersive and reflective learning opportunities. Through the video-based guidebook, both the BEd(SN) students and FE supervisors will engage their self-learning in the demonstration videos, reference materials and exemplified students work bridging the gap between theory and practice.
In this proposed project, we aim at creating a step-by-step on-line guidebook which could enable our BEd(SN) students’ and FE supervisors to have a comprehensive understanding of FE considering logistics, practicability and employability. The step-by-step on-line guidebook comprises topics such as the introduction of the general FE guiding principles, the two modes of FE, submission and Sway-link establishment for E-portfolio, lesson planning for FE, differentiation strategies, evaluation of FE, the components of the e-portfolio and the marking criteria of the e-portfolio.
The twelve chapters of the on-line guidebook include video-clip demonstrations, planning, assessments, teaching activities, materials, lesson plans exemplifications and video clips involved for FE practices. Annually about 300 supervised BEd(SN) students and their respective 60 FT/PT FE supervisors from SEC Department will be the beneficiaries. This on-line FE guidebook highlights the specific features in FE and the requirements for their teaching standards in order to support the desired outcomes of our graduate teaching quality and employability.
