The Field Trip That Turned Students Into Researchers and Thinkers

On 25 March 2025, 28 Diploma in Early Childhood Education (DECE) students from SEGi embarked on a meaningful study tour to Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Penang. Organised by Bhawani Letchemanan, the tour spanned three major locations: Perpustakaan Hamzah Sendut 1 (PHS 1), Muzium & Galeri Tuanku Fauziah (MGTF), and the Archaeological Museum. Designed to deepen understanding through experiential learning, the tour proved to be a valuable extension of the classroom.

The visit to PHS 1 introduced students to a wide array of academic resources and research tools, including access to digital archives and databases. Library staff provided a walkthrough of modern research methodologies and techniques, equipping students with essential skills to navigate scholarly information—an increasingly vital competency in the digital age.
