Elevating Academic Excellence with Kognity at Singapore School PIK
Gareth Rogers, Head of High School at Singapore School Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK), shares how Kognity has become far more than just a digital textbook, significantly impacting teaching and learning at their leading independent school in North Jakarta. With a strong reputation for academic excellence and outstanding student outcomes, Singapore School PIK’s journey with Kognity highlights a powerful partnership built over five years.
Initially adopted to support a laptop-based learning environment as an online textbook replacement, Kognity has evolved into a comprehensive platform driving efficiency and deeper learning.
Empowering teachers: time-saving & targeted instruction
For educators at Singapore School PIK, Kognity has optimized their workflow, providing essential tools and resources that significantly reduce planning and marking time.
Kognity saves them a lot of time in planning… and saves a lot of teachers marking time, which is very, very powerful.
The platform’s ability to provide clear data on student comprehension allows teachers to pinpoint exact areas of need. This enables more focused, impactful instruction tailored to individual student requirements.
Engaging Every Learner: Support for Diverse Needs
Kognity’s interactive nature resonates strongly with students, fostering a dynamic and engaging online learning environment that caters to a wide spectrum of academic needs, explains Gareth.
The students… find it great to engage in an online platform that is interactive, supported for a great range of learners.
From high-achieving students seeking advanced challenges and pre-reading opportunities to those who require additional support and practice, Kognity provides the necessary stretch and challenge. Its clear presentation and self-testing features empower students to learn at their own pace, making and learning from mistakes in a safe space.
Driving Outcomes with Evidence-Informed Learning
Singapore School PIK’s commitment to evidence-informed practice aligns perfectly with Kognity’s foundation in cognitive science principles. This alignment has translated directly into measurable student progress and outcomes.
Classes that have been really engaging with Kognity… had significantly outperformed the students in the classes that weren’t engaging… Kognity underlines a lot of principles of cognitive science, and… is strongly based in science and how the brain works.
Gareth emphasizes that Kognity’s design, rooted in how learning happens, has been a significant contributor to the school’s success in achieving strong academic results, reinforcing their belief in science-backed educational tools.
