Presented by: Mrs. Frances Ess (Mayflower Secondary School), Eng Chiew Quek (Bukit View Sec School), Ms. Elaine Tay (Anglo-Chinese Junior College), Kim Lian Margaret Goh (Zhangde Primary School)
The purpose of this paper is to find outsecondary school students’ perceptions towards ‘Joy of Learning’ in Singapore and the ways to promote it in lesson design. It aims to explore through the lens of students the way they experience the joy of learning in the classroom, in school, and outside school. The data was collected by tape-recording interviews with students aged 14 to 15 years in 2018. Based on the students’ opinions and experiences, a detailed description of their experiences of the joy of learning in secondary education was documented. This method of data collection is applied until it reaches a level of saturation, where no new themes can be surfaced from the latest interview. Based on the themes in the coding process, the characteristics of the joy of learning will be identified. This will guide educators to design effective lessons that promote the joy of learning in secondary schools and beyond.
