Students’ reflections on their experience and their learning from the KB National Symposium 2018
As a practitioner who believes that history must be taught as a discipline, it is vital that my students see the necessity and beauty of History. Knowledge Building lends itself well in helping me to create history lessons that align to the vision and philosophy which I hold dear to.
How does knowledge building environment impact lower achievers’ motivation to engage in learning of science?
What kind of community is the KB NLC? It is a community marked by its openness where every member is encouraged to express and contribute their ideas no matter how incomplete or insignificant it may seem. Every member has a responsibility towards the progress of the community and is idea-centred.

Knowledge Building
Knowledge Building (KB) recognizes that knowledge is socially constructed and describes how a community of learners might develop. Hence, the KB Classroom is a community where every individual is a contributor, a co-creator of knowledge. Students own the learning, its outcomes and processes. Teachers design and facilitate learning that is guided by KB principles.
