This week’s lesson is about PLE (Personalised Learning ). PLE is a concept of learning where students are given choice for their study and learning, Students have the autonomy to decide what they want to learn and how to learn it. One example is creating blog and write the reflection every week after lesson as we do for this course, students are given the freedom on designing the blog, writing our own thinking after lesson, etc, without guidance from our instructor.
After Pearl’s presentation about PLE, I have a more clear picture about it. Students will have more enjoyment in PLE because it is considering the individual pupil's interests, needs and abilities, and finding out the best style for each pupil (Good & Brophy, 1990) .With the aid of ICT, students also can learn beyond the class, students will find they are more understand for the lesson. Once they had master in one topic, then only they move to another topic. Unlike our education system now, the students have to follow the syllabus, some of the students are unable to follow the lesson because everyone’s learning pace is different, when they have problems for the basic, they will not be able to do the more advance topics, for example, if students can not perform calculation on division, students will not be able to solve problems in the chapter of linear equation.
There are many activities we have done in class are consider PLE, such like essay writing, students’ power point presentation, students gave comments on the video they watched, debates, drawing, designing for the NIE magazine and so on.
To conclude, PLE is a potential approach for meeting future educational needs and may provide new alternatives that foster learning capacity among individual learner.(Bentley and Miller, 2004). As educators, we should facilitate our students so the can have the full autonomy on creating his/her own learning ground.
