Study Approaches and Strategies
-
Issue-enquiry approach and multiple perspective thinking
-
Teachers should inspire students to learn about different topics and encourage them to set questions and search for answers. During the process of inquiry, students are encouraged to search for background information through personal experience, newspapers, books, and online materials. They will be able to examine the issues or materials from different perspectives and evaluate different points of view.

-
Cater for students’ diverse needs
-
Subject teachers should provide opportunities for students with different learning abilities to develop their strengths and enhance their generic skills through class observations, different forms of assignments and examinations.

There are three summative assessments throughout the year, mainly in the form of written examinations. The examinations include multiple-choice questions, blank-filling questions, short questions and data-response questions to assess students' abilities in identifying, applying, and analysing data.
