A group of 293 Secondary Two students from Raffles Girls’ School (Secondary) participated in this
study assessing the RS curriculum, an extended version of PW where students were introduced to the
Big6 information problem-solving model and taught research skills and knowledge to equip them to
accomplish a project in groups smoothly. In addition, it was based on the philosophy for students to
engage in independent self-directed learning and be empowered in the learning process. More importantly,
development of information literacy skills was explicitly stated as one of the main aims of RS.
