TIU Explores Educational Technology at Stirling Schools
On February 24, 2025, the Computer Education Department at Tishk International University (TIU) organized an insightful scientific trip to Stirling Schools, Cag Primary School, in Kirkuk. This visit offered students and faculty a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge educational technologies and modern teaching methodologies that are shaping the future of education.
Stirling Schools is a leader in integrating technology into its curriculum, replacing traditional learning methods with state-of-the-art digital solutions. The TIU delegation was introduced to the school’s advanced learning environment, including its smart classrooms and innovative curriculum, which prioritizes student engagement, efficiency, and innovation.
Pioneering Digital Solutions
One of the most remarkable features observed during the visit was the school’s tablet-based learning system. Students use centrally managed tablets instead of physical textbooks. This system allows for real-time monitoring, interactive learning, and instant access to educational resources, ensuring that students are actively involved while also reducing the environmental impact of printed materials.
Another noteworthy aspect was the school’s Virtual Reality (VR) classroom. The school has seamlessly integrated VR technology to provide immersive and interactive learning experiences. Virtual simulations enable students to explore complex concepts in subjects like Biology, Chemistry, and Physics in a highly practical and engaging way, thereby improving comprehension and retention.
The trip provided an in-depth understanding of modern educational strategies and inspired our students and faculty to consider integrating similar advancements into higher education. This aligns with TIU’s mission to equip future educators with the knowledge and skills needed to lead the next generation of learners.
We extend our gratitude to Stirling Schools and Cag Primary School for their warm welcome and invaluable insights. This visit has sparked new ideas and motivation among our students and faculty, setting the stage for future collaborations in the pursuit of technological excellence in education.
