Cambridge Assessment International
Education (CAIE)
Let the education open your mind and heart
At Akal Academy Baru Sahib,
our Cambridge Assessment International Education programme adopt
‘active learning’ as our classroom approach. This acknowledges that
our learners are active in the learning process by building
knowledge and understanding in response to learning opportunities
provided by their teacher. This style of learning contrasts with a
model of instruction whereby knowledge is imparted or transmitted
from the teacher to students.
Active learning primarily
includes:
Student-centred learning - Students play an active role in their
learning, with the teacher as an activator of learning, rather than
an instructor
Enquiry-based learning - Students learn by addressing and a posing
scientific questions, analysing evidence, connecting gs such
evidence to prior theoretical knowledge, drawing conclusions, and
reflecting upon their findings
Experiential learning - Learning takes place through direct
experience. Learning should be relevant and situated within a
meaningful context. We learn best when we can see the
Learning is developmental. Learning experiences for children, therefore, should be age-appropriate although development level and age are not always concurrent.
APPROACH BRIGHTER AND HAPPIER CHILD
Cambridge Assessment
International Education(CAIE) prepares school students for life,
helping them develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for
knowledge.
The Cambridge Pathway gives students a clear path for educational
success from age 5 to 19 through, Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Lower
Secondary, Cambridge Upper Secondary and Cambridge Advanced
programmes. At Akal Academy Baru Sahib, we offer Cambridge Upper
Secondary and Cambridge Advanced programme, shaping the curriculum
around a wide range of subjects and using flexible ways to offer
them. It helps our students discover new abilities and a wider
world, and gives them the skills they need for life, so they can
achieve excellence at school, university and professional world.
Our ‘Learner-centered’ teachers set their teaching in real world
contexts; finding out learners’ starting points of understanding
before they plan how to enable them to learn. Because of this, a
learner-centred teacher will focus on differentiation, and will use
strategies associated with assessment for learning, including:
➤ effective questioning
➤ sharing of assessment criteria
➤ provision of feedback
➤ peer assessment and self-assessment
➤ using assessment information to adapt their teaching methodology
The Cambridge approach supports us to develop learners who are
confident of ideas and information that they have learnt or
gathered. Such learners are also respectful of others ideas and
perspectives. They have ability to innovate, engage socially and
intellectually with new environment so as to make distinct
contribution in any field of endeavors,
