Other than that, there were also suggestions from participants and teachers to further improve the programmed.
Most of the students proposed that the time frame of the implementation programmed is extended and the activity be
increased by repeating the experiment several times. From the teachers’ feedback, they hope that more students be

given the opportunity to participate if the same programmed is organized in the near future. The teachers also
suggested that a programmed specific for teachers who accompany the students be organized as a ‘training for
trainers’ course as they hope to use the lichen module to teach other students at the school who did not have the
chance to experience this programmed.
Among the response from the students and teachers on the programme are as follows:-
Student 1 : I propose that the lichen programme be continued in the future and the time of the programme
be extended . That’s all, thank you.
Student 2 : The time should be increased so that we can learn more.
Student 3 : Increase the time for the programme and increase the number of experiments.
Teacher 1 : Involve more participation of students.
Teacher 2 : I hope this programme will be continued in the future and the number of participants be
increased, i.e. each school can send more students to participate. As teachers, it was difficult to
select the students because many ofthem are interested to join. I hope that my suggestion will be
considered.
Teacher 3 : We teachers are also given a group to implement the study. We would like the organiser to
send/ give the module/ materials to the school which follow the programme.
