Flexible classrooms
HYBRID classrooms can ensure teaching and learning (PdP) continues while the country’s teacher shortage is being addressed.

Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh said hybrid classes, which involve a group of students learning face to face while another group joins the lesson online, is a solution and an alternative that can help alleviate the lack of teacher problem while ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn.

Speaking at the Dimix@Digital Carnival closing ceremony at SJKC Mun Yee, KL, on Jan 23, he said hybrid classrooms are being conducted at the school, SK Taman Seri Rampai, KL, and a school in China – Haixin School, Qingdao.

The implementation, he said, is done on a rotation basis with the three schools taking turns to have face-to-face lessons according to a schedule.

“Among the advantages of this hybrid approach is that learning is more flexible and can be implemented with a large number of students,” Wong said, adding that this method allows teachers to be more flexible in their teaching and students have more ways of assessing learning materials.

The Dimix@Digital Carnival was jointly organised by the KL Education Department and Hisense Malaysia.

Themed “Exploring Education Technology”, the carnival featured the latest PdP technology and solutions, with a focus on hybrid PdP which involves live interaction between teachers and students to create a flexible, active learning environment.

On the Digital Education Policy launched in November last year, Wong said the ministry would focus on cultivating the ecosystem of technology integration in teaching and learning. – By REBECCA RAJAENDRAM
