‘Planning helps us get where we want to go’ – this indisputable statement was explored by Nalanda programme leads on Monday 3 June. Guided by Ach. Tan Siang Chye, Director of Nalanda Institute Malaysia, 25 leaders of which many were new to programming explored the concepts, dynamics and implementation of learning objectives, learning outcomes and assessment to ensure that all the Society’s educational efforts are fruitful and beneficial to its participants.
When we have a clear understanding of a programme’s goals, this enables the teacher, speaker or facilitator to embed the objectives accordingly. We also need to pre-define the outcome of the participants’ learning to align and guide the learning content. The effectiveness of the programme can then be measured based on assessments and feedback.
The group also explore different delivery methods based on the audience and their level of perceptiveness to the depth of the content. We appreciate the commitment of our volunteers in coming together on a holiday, to upskill so that we can all better serve the community’s needs. Sadhu anumodana.
