When Ms Eunice Chew returned to the National Institute of Education to begin her master's programme in Jan 2018, she was a newly-wed who had evening classes, assignments and presentations, and a day job on her plate.
“There was a lot of understanding and trust. I think as an adult learner, that’s very important,” says Ms Chew, who emerged as a top graduate. In the first two years of her studies, she cleared all of the courses, which left her two full years to concentrate on perfecting her dissertation – on some days, this meant studying until the wee hours of the night."I just really enjoyed making sense of things and digging deeper. There was a fire in me that pushed me to do better," she says.
“Ultimately, the NIE master’s degree is recognised, and the programme I enrolled in has been sharpened over two decades. So there are so many years of knowledge put into creating it,” she adds.Among the faculty at NIE are household names – these include published authors, education changemakers and leading researchers like Associate Professor Leonel Lim and Ms Christina Lim – which made Ms Chew even more eager to “pick their brains”.
The faculty members were also forthcoming with their critical yet constructive feedback on Ms Chew’s dissertation – what she calls “tough love”. Other affordances of the online learning platform include embedding hints in the questions and allowing comments from peers for students to learn from one another, as well as offering choices for content and other media formats such as images, videos and audio for learning and work submission.
