Abstract

Science-Based Technology School (SBTS) is a pilot project which was established under a co-operative agreement between the National Science and Technology Development (NSTDA) and The Vocational Education Commission (VEC) in 2008. The main purpose of the project is to provide information to new inventors or new technologists in order to support the growth of the domestic economy and industries. Project Based learning (PBL) and teaching is an approach for classroom activity and is integrated within the basic science curriculum and vocational training for the students in the school. The aim of this paper is to study the current state and existing problems in educational management of the Science-Based Technology School project and provide possible improvements. The teaching and learning process were examined and efficient mechanisms to support and improve academic knowledge for new inventors were considered. Results from this study will be applied to future designs and used to develop the educational management model for the Science-Based Technology School. © 2011 IEEE.
