Multiple Intelligence Approach Using Personal E-Motion (PEM)

Jurong Primary School uses Personal E-Motion (PEM) to effectively support teaching pedagogies

in their English Language instruction. The use of multimedia technology creates a dynamic

learning environment where pupils are challenged to think critically and to explore and express

their emotions.

Jurong Primary School uses Personal E-Motion (PEM) to enhance

the teaching and learning processes. PEM is a multimedia e-book

which has digital media and sound features. It also has the

capability to animate words as they are being typed. The English

department has effectively utilised video clips and digital images as

scaffoldings for pupils to engage in creative and descriptive writing.

Pupils present their writing, projects and experiments in

an e-book form.

The writing of composition for pupils has hitherto been based

largely on static pictures as stimulus for brainstorming of ideas

and development of plot. The use of PEM has changed this with

the introduction of a multimedia experience to enhance the

composition writing process. The pupils start off with role playing

a sequence of events and video tape the whole story'

development. The video tape will then be edited by the pupils and

loaded onto the e-book. The pupils then write the story as the

video is replayed. This approach enables the pupils to become

aware of the sequencing of the events and be sensitised to the

emotions and expressions involved. Similarly, to motivate pupils to learn the weekly spelling

words better, animated interactive e-Spelling Books have been created for Primary 1 and 2 pupils'

weekly spelling tests. For each word correctly spelled, the corresponding image will appear.

The use of PEM has enhanced the learning of our pupils. In the process, the pupils also learn the

skills of using digital equipment and ICT related skills and knowledge.
