  • Sirene May-Yin LIM S.R
    Last updated Aug 2018 Curriculum Vitae Sirene May-Yin LIM S.R. Nathan School of Human Development Singapore University of Social Sciences Sirene began her teaching career in a secondary school and junior college before joining the Preschool Branch in MOE HQ as part of the pioneer team that developed the first national kindergarten curriculum framework. Her work with a diverse range of teenagers had raised her awareness of the importance of supporting children’s learning and development in their early years. With the opportunity to work alongside NIE lecturers and kindergarten teachers in the MOE pilot study and framework development, she was inspired to pursue studies in early childhood education in the USA, where she also worked with 3-and-4- year-olds to learn more about how curricula could be more child-centric; and how education systems could become more equitable for all children. She continues to advocate for more ecological supports and strategic improvements in the education of young children at both the preschool and lower primary levels. As an educator-researcher, Sirene continues to contribute to the international academic community by volunteering as reviewer and editor. In the local context, she serves government agencies and non-profit organizations to raise the level of professional knowledge and catalyze local research to inform policy and practice. Current research interests: ▪ early childhood education – history and policy; pedagogy; learning through the arts; integrated curriculum; inclusion; classroom discourse; qualitative research ▪ interdisciplinary – children’s culture and voice; social justice; postcolonial theories ▪ teacher learning and leadership Academic and Professional Qualifications Doctor of Education (Ed.D), Teachers College, Columbia University, New 2007 York, USA.

  • Phoon Yew Tien (潘 耀 田 ): for the Love of Creating by Perera, Audrey, Written in August 2010 National Library Board, Singa
    ARTICLE Phoon Yew Tien ( 潘 耀 田 ): For the Love of Creating by Perera, Audrey , written in August 2010 National Library Board, Singapore He is probably the most recorded classical composer in Singapore, not to mention one of the most prolific since he began his career in 1974, and is possibly the only home-grown composer who has made a living from his craft. The winner of many local and international awards for composition, Phoon’s works have been performed and recorded by orchestras around the world, from Singapore to Russia. And it all began in the 1950s, in Singapore. “Most people were not well-off and had many children in those days. To learn an instrument was very expensive. Most kids would not hope for it, because you were lucky if you could go to school. You didn’t even think about asking for more than that. I lived in a three-storey ‘blue window’ flat in Strathmore Avenue, where there was still a very ‘ kampong ’ feel because of the goats and cows wandering around. “My introduction to music began with listening to the radio. Programmes began with preludes using Western classical, Chinese and ethnic music. I was Chinese-educated, and learnt all the subjects in Chinese except one, but I still listened to English music. I learnt by listening, and unconsciously memorising all the different kinds of music, and I still remember a lot of it,” recalls Phoon. He had the good fortune, in his first year of secondary school, to meet two people who owned Chinese instruments, and who informally taught him some basic techniques.

  • An Exploratory Study on Singaporean Secondary School Students’ Perceptions of Choral Learning
    Asia Pacific Education Review Copyright 2003 by Education Research Institute 2003, Vol. 4, No. 2, 161-169 An Exploratory Study on Singaporean Secondary School Students’ Perceptions of Choral Learning Ai-Girl TAN Flora YEE Woei-Chee Nanyang Technological University Nanyang Technological University Singapore Singapore This paper explores 122 secondary school students’ perceptions of the choral learning environment. A survey questionnaire was developed taking into consideration the responses of a pilot study in which students were requested to list what they liked and disliked about the choir. The participants rated their degree of agreement on a five-point scale on psychosocial and other perspectives of choral learning. Three research questions were posed: (1) What are Singaporean secondary school students’ perceptions of choral learning? (2) Are there any gender differences in their perceptions of choral learning? (3) Are there any across school differences in their perceptions of choral learning? The findings of the study were discussed from the perspective of Singapore’s education and learning environment research. Keywords: Choir, learning, Singapore, secondary school students, holistic education. 1Singapore’s education and holistic development Among the highlights was the need to foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving competence. The National Since 1997, Singapore’s educational system has Education (NE) program (Lee, 1997) focused on implanting introduced gradually new initiatives aimed to develop every the sense of belongingness among the young.

  • (Syf) 2012 Information Sheet Singapore Youth Festiva
    29 June 2012 EMBARGOED TILL 29 JUNE 2012, 6.15PM SINGAPORE YOUTH FESTIVAL (SYF) 2012 INFORMATION SHEET SINGAPORE YOUTH FESTIVAL (SYF) 2012 OPENING CEREMONY SINGAPORE INDOOR STADIUM FRIDAY, 30 JUNE 2012 5.00 p.m. Guest of Honour: Minister for Education, Mr Heng Swee Keat Highlights For the first time in the SYF, a group of parent volunteers will perform alongside their children at the Opening Ceremony. Together with some 240 primary school students, their participation in the mass dance depicts the important role that parents play in the child’s development – be it at home, school or even on stage. Their involvement also signifies the contribution parents play in collaboration with schools and beyond the curriculum, and their belief in the importance of holistic education, which undergirds the success of a child. Madam Patricia Quek, a parent volunteer, is grateful that schools have created opportunities for parents like her to participate in the SYF, which provides an opportunity to bond with her child. “This excellent initiative has provided the opportunity for me to perform with my daughter, Zoey. We have grown closer as we practice and support one another in our performance. I have also gotten to know many of her friends and their parents better. SYF will be our shared memory,” she said. Another highlight is the multimedia interactive segment where animated cartoon characters on a video wall measuring 26 metres by 5 metres will entertain and demonstrate simple choreographed movements that will get the audience on their feet. The audience will also use brightly-coloured folders as props to help transform the Singapore Indoor Stadium into a sea of colours as part of the vibrant performance.
