About our Approach: Translational Research, Innovation & Scaling

Open Educational Resource @ Singapore (OERSG) and Open Source Physics @ Singapore (OSPSG) are experimentation and innovation efforts aimed at nurturing a culture of innovation and reflective practice across schools. These efforts are conceptualized under the framework of Translational Research, Innovation, and Scaling (TRIS) in MasterPlan 4 for Education Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

Under this framework, teachers engage in professional discourse (through discussions on OERSG articles, OSPSG Whatsapp chatgroups, etc.) in order to learn, reflect and explore together, deepen their practice and improve their craft.

Through technology scans and translational research, successful evidence-based practices (see the OERSG Research page) will be identified, catalogued as articles and scaled up to other schools in the system.

We have three broad strategies to drive, encourage, and support experimentation and innovation in schools:

1. Scan for educational technology-related issues, promising applications and themes (see the OERSG Interactive Resources pages) of relevance to the Singapore education system, and to engage stakeholders on possibilities.
2. Translate research findings into classroom practice, lesson resources and learning design principles via rapid prototyping (see the OSPSG simulations).
3. Spread successful practices developed through the innovation projects (http://edulab.moe.edu.sg/edulab-programmes/existing-projects oh OSP outlives edulab ), by making them available for all  schools to adopt and adapt (e.g., through harnessing OER, a UNESCO initiative since 2003).
