| Enhanced Learning |
The major goal of education is intellectual, academic, physical, spiritual and personality development. Accordingly, our teaching/learning processes are based on the latest research in pedagogical practices and technology. The school has adopted the Dimensions of Learning model, a comprehensive learning process which includes - |
| |
| |
 |
Attitudes and Perceptions about Learning |
 |
|
Acquiring and Integrating Knowledgem |
|
Extending and Refining Knowledge |
|
Using Knowledge Meaningfully |
|
Productive Habits of Mind |
|

| Association For Supervision and Curriculum Development |
| |
This learning process is based on all that researchers know about education and was evolved by a team from the US based, Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development. The team, consisting of over 90 educators took over two years to develop the model. |
| |
| |
| Implicit in the Dimensions of Learning Model, or Frame Work, are Five basic assumptions- |
| |
| The Learning framework at SelaQui is based on the following principles |
 |
|
Instruction must reflect the best of what we know about how learning occurs. |
|
Learning involves a complex system of interactive processes that includes five |
| |
types of thinking-represented by the five dimensions of learning. |
|
The curriculum should include the explicit teaching of attitudes, perceptions, and |
| |
mental habits that facilitate learning. |
|
A comprehensive approach to instruction includes at least two distinct types of |
| |
instruction: one that is more teacher directed, and another that is more student |
| |
directed. |
|
Assessment should focus on students' use of knowledge and complex |
| |
reasoning processes rather than on their recall of information. |
