From the very day that we were born, we never cease to learn whether formally or informally. However, most of us find it a challenge to motivate ourselves to learn and to be effective learners.
LearningKeys™ utilises a student-friendly personalised profile that can be administered online so that parents, teachers and counsellors can review together with students individually or in small groups.
Critical Thinking is an essential skill to survive and thrive in this fast-paced, technology-enhanced society. With the influx of information from the Internet, many youths have adopted a superficial sense of maturity with a know-it-all attitude. Due to the information overload, many are unable to process, understand and interpret the world around them comprehensively.
The truth of the matter is that youths no longer need to be given information by an adult.
What they really need are skills to critically assess and make use of this huge flow of information and translating this into valuable knowledge. Critical Thinking is instrumental in ensuring that our youths of today will be able to think through everyday situations with wisdom and make responsible decisions along the way.

Design Thinking is a structured and creative way of problem solving with an emphasis on human-centric solutions. Originally devised as a systematic way to design interesting and functional products, Design Thinking has now diversified to be used in multiple fields, including the service line as Service Design Thinking.
The most commonly used Design Thinking framework is that which is used by Stanford Design School, which has five components:
Empathize: participants learn how to approach a problem with empathy and learn to look at multiple options while keeping an open mind to alternative points of view.
Define: having empathized with the people involved, participants learn how to define the needs or the problems they face.
Ideate: participants learn how to generate ideas, both individually and in a collaborative way
Prototype: participants learn how to quickly prototype one or more of their ideas generated
Test: participants will experience how to test and gather feedback, to further refine or completely change their prototype

The Dunn and Dunn Learning Styles Model, developed by the late Dr Rita Dunn and Dr Kenneth Dunn of St John’s University in New York, is one of the most well-researched learning style models in the world. With more than 30 years of research work with over 850 studies conducted in more than 135 institutions, it has a solid research base, along with ongoing studies of best practices in learning centres around the world. Every piece of research has consistently testified that when anyone is taught according to this model, their academic achievement improves, as does their attitude, self-discipline and outlook towards the future.
Learners tend to demonstrate patterns in the way they prefer to deal with new and difficult information and ideas. The majority of us are most confident and successful when we approach difficult tasks by using our strengths. Learning Style, according to Dr Rita Dunn, is the way in which individual learners begin to concentrate on, process, absorb and retain new and difficult materials. Each of us has a unique way of learning and processing information.
When personalised learning strategies are implemented, the following benefits take place:

The DISC four-quadrant behavioural model stands for the four personality styles: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance. It is based on the work of William Moulton Marston (1893 – 1947), an American psychologist and inventor. Based on Dr. Marston’s work, people with similar styles tend to exhibit specific common behavioural characteristics and everyone shares these four styles in varying degrees of intensity.

Uncovering one’s ideal work requires an individual to consider three essential domains:
Theoretical Orientation
The theoretical orientation of the CareerKeys™ programme is based on two notable career development theories, namely Donald Super’s Developmental Self-Concept Theory and John Holland’s Theory of Career Choice.
Donald Super’s greatest contribution to career development has been the emphasis on the importance of the development of self-concept. He believes that self-concept changes over time and develops as a result of experience.
John Holland’s theory explains work-related behaviour – which career choices are likely to lead to job success and satisfaction; how people of the same personality type working together in a job create a work environment that ts their type; and how people search for environments where they can use their skills and abilities to express their values and attitudes.
In helping teachers to engage the students on their career exploration and planning, they will be posed three questions which act as guideposts on the student’s individual journeys.
