CONTEXTUAL LEARNING AT CORPUS 2014

Oegstgeest — SIN Wassenaar’s Primary School organised a contextual learning activity by visiting the Corpus on 11 February 2014. It was designed to help the students to connect the concept, knowledge and experience they had mastered with the new ones and how they were applied and could be used in the real-life context. Corpus was one of the most distinctive objects in The Netherlands for such field-visit especially on disciplines related to human body. This contextual learning facility itself was built as the exact replica of the human body and inside the visitors can observe and learn about  the vital organs of human being. That’s why in Corpus the visitors would be entertained with a ‘journey through human body’ experience.

All primary students took part in this programme and were accompanied and guided by 5 teachers. Based on our evaluation this activity was really helpful in widening our students’ horizon on the subject and effective in bridging the existing concept of the human body and the new knowledge through real experience assisted with cutting-edge technology.

This contextual learning programme was supported by the Directorate General of Primary Education, Ministry of Education and Culture, Jakarta.
