Hello all,
Day 3 comprises of 2 parts - 1) How do people learn? 2) Discussion on how do we move forward with regards to our Final Presentation.
A few points to take note with regards to how people learn, the 4 pillars of learning are as follows:
1) An active dynamic process rather than a passive product of experiences
2) Motivated intrinsically rather than extrinsically
3) Experienced within meaningful, relevant context
4) Building on existing knowledge
I would like to touch on serial no.2 with regards to motivation. SAF has persistently facing motivational issues in the NSF group which in particular the 'men'. Allowance to small, Singapore will never be in a war... all this are the excuses. Till today, there are men who went AWOL because they just can't understand the purpose of national defence. What say you?
Regarding 'How do people learn' - I would like to introduce to you guys, Edgar Dale. In summary, he created 'Cone of learning'. From the cone, you can see that we need to do the real thing to ensure that we will remember more on what was taught to us.

That's all for today. Good night to all.... = )
You brought up the term "Purpose of National Defence". I would like to rephrase it and term it Purpose of Army - I think that is a very important question that all of us as Army Regulars would need to think about and relate to. Are you able to relate to Army's Vision and Mission? My sentiments is that it might be a bit too laisse faize for people in general to understand.
