🧭 Embracing Blended Learning for Professional Growth
In today’s digital era, where educational technology is rapidly advancing, blended learning has become an essential approach to enhancing teachers’ professional development.
As part of the STEM Teacher Training Program, the Pre-Stage Online Training component is designed to help participants gain foundational understanding before attending in-person workshops, ensuring smoother and more effective participation.
🎯 Objectives of the Pre-Stage Online Training
1️⃣ Provide Teachers with Access to Pre-Workshop Content
Through online self-paced learning, participants can explore essential concepts, theories, and background knowledge before attending face-to-face sessions.
This early preparation helps teachers actively engage and participate more meaningfully during practical training activities.
2️⃣ Save Time and Maximize Hands-On Practice
By completing theoretical lessons online, more time during in-person sessions can be dedicated to hands-on activities, creative lesson design, and professional collaboration.
3️⃣ Build Core Trainers’ Capacity to Lead Training Effectively
The pre-stage component also supports Core Trainers in developing leadership and facilitation skills — enabling them to manage training activities effectively before, during, and after each session.
💡 Integrating Digital Tools through the STTC App
To enhance the blended learning experience, the program integrates digital learning through the STTC App — a powerful platform designed specifically for STEM teacher development.
🔹 Flexible and Self-Paced Learning
Teachers can access interactive videos, digital lessons, and learning resources anytime, anywhere, via mobile devices or computers.
🔹 Track Learning Progress Easily
Participants can monitor their progress, quiz results, and course completion through the app’s tracking system, supporting self-assessment and continuous improvement.
🔹 Seamless Connection to CPDMIS for CPD Credit Recognition
All learning records within the STTC App are automatically synchronized with the CPDMIS system, allowing teachers to conveniently submit and receive official CPD Credits after completing their courses.
This digital integration not only enhances training efficiency but also empowers teachers to adopt innovative, technology-enhanced teaching practices in their own classrooms.
🚀 Key Benefits and Impact
✅ Teachers enter training sessions better prepared and more confident.
✅ Face-to-face sessions focus on collaboration, practice, and innovation.
✅ The STTC App improves transparency, monitoring, and recognition of teacher development progress.
🌱 A Small Step Toward a Big Transformation
Pre-Stage Online Training represents a small but vital step in transforming Cambodia’s STEM teacher development.
With the support of the STTC App and integration with the CPDMIS system, blended learning is paving the way for a more effective, efficient, and future-ready professional development model.
