This was followed by Dr Wong Hwei Ming (CAE Assessment Research Strand Leader) who shared insights into how the CORE Research Programme advanced educational practices in Singapore’s mainstream schools through rigorous data collection and analysis.  Various studies conducted over an extended period helped bring about changed practices to enhance students’ conceptual, metacognitive and classroom participation.
