Evidence-based strategies
Q-Pulse is dynamic and adaptable, integrating four key evidence-based strategies that are able to adapt to a variety of teaching methods. These are backed by research and have yielded effective results over many years of experience.
Whether you’re intimately familiar with Q-Pulse or you’ve just learned this term, we’ve got you. Here are the four pillars of effective, evidence-based strategies that you can use to help your child thrive.
Structured Organisation
Structured routines and well-curated learning environments are able to provide young learners with a sense of security since they’re able to comfortably predict what comes next. Hence, this evidence-based strategy allows your child to focus their energy on learning instead of feeling anxious about what comes next.
Q-Pulse integrates this essential element into its approach by establishing clear expectations, consistent daily schedules, and fixed boundaries.
Within these structured periods, Q-Pulse allows your little ones the flexibility to choose what they want to do. This self-paced style of learning ensures a balance between predictability and responsiveness.
Our activities are tailored to emphasise specific goals and skills. This evidence-based strategy maximises learning potential by providing your child dedicated spaces to explore and develop their talents.
For example, ONE teaches our students mathematics through block play and puzzles, and literacy through books suitable for your child’s developmental level.
These activities are specifically curated to target developmental milestones or address individual needs through consistent, ongoing observation. Moreover, the focused learning allows playtime to be even more rewarding for your little one – thus optimising your child’s progress.
Visual Communication
Visuals are powerful learning tools. Therefore, Q-Pulse integrates visual aids such as pictures and charts. This evidence-based strategy improves communication and reinforces concepts for our young learners. Through visuals, they are able to better retain information and express their needs and wants.
Visuals also cater to children who learn visually, so they are able to grasp concepts in a manner that is more natural to them. Besides visual learners, our visuals also aid students who may have communication delays.
Hence, visuals enable children to better absorb information that may be more difficult to understand verbally.
Clear, consistent verbal communication is essential for your child to thrive as a confident and independent learner. Q-Pulse achieves this through the use of simple and direct language, positive reinforcement, and active listening in our evidence-based strategies.
All of the above result in an emphasis on verbal learning beyond just vocabulary and other academic matters.
At ONE, our teachers create opportunities for students to express themselves and find their voice. We ask our students open-ended questions, invite them to start and sustain conversations, and engage them through guided assessments. This contributes towards your child’s holistic development.
