How to fill in information on TESDCP?_Part6: Yearly validation

There is nothing you can add or edit here.  This is a summary of what you have written, uploaded or linked on the previous headings: Course File, Self-Assessment & Reflections, Professional Activities and Measures of Student Learning.  Just make sure every single button that you see here is GREEN.  If you see any part is still RED, it means that there might be something incomplete. 

I took this picture from Prof Hadi Nur’s blog.  What does it mean when there is RED indicator in B range sections and C section?  It means that in this case, Prof Hadi has not completed the Course File and Measure of Student Learning sections yet.  Once he has completed the Course File section [evidences in terms of course information, sample of a class note, sample of a quiz, test etc. and final examination with marking scheme as well as Course Assessment Report (CAR)] and Measure of Student Learning aka C2 [Feedback and testimony from others], all sections will appear GREEN like mine.  

Last but not least, “Always double check what you have done before you log out“.  😀 

P.S.:  Once you have got ALL GREEN, don’t forget to click SUBMIT (under Action)

NOTE: If you want to know more about how to complete your TESDCP, go to the following link 

  1.  Getting Started
  2. Course File
  3. Self-Assessment & Reflections,
  4.  Professional Activities and 
  5. Measure of Student Learning

Special Note: I would like to thank Prof Hadi Nur for allowing me to use his picture as an example in this post.  I emailed him to let him know about it and request for his permission.  Permission granted.  It is not my intention to downgrade him in one way or another.  It is just as an example to show how an incomplete yearly validation looks like.   If you have similar thing appears on your TESDCP yearly validation, you don’t have to worry about it.  It just means that you need to complete some of the required parts.

How to fill in information on TESDCP?_Part5: Measures of Student Learning

In your Measures of Student Learning heading (once you click this heading), there will appear 1) Average Score in ePPP, 2) Feedback and testimony (from ePPP), and 3) Feedback and testimony (from others)

You CANNOT make any change in the first two sections i.e. ) Average Score in ePPP and 2) Feedback and testimony (from ePPP).  But what you can add is on 3) Feedback and testimony (from others).  

What should you do?

  1. Search any feedback or testimony that your student(s) or former students have given you.  If they give you cards or anything written on a piece of paper, scan the card/paper and save it in PDF file.  If they post on their FB page with your picture saying “Thank you” and whatsnot, screen shot that page and save it in PDF file.  If they give WhatsApp message to thank you, screen shot that and save it in PDF file.  
  2. Once you click on Measure of Student Learning heading, you will see 1) Average Score in ePPP, 2) Feedback and testimony (from ePPP), and 3) Feedback and testimony (from others).
  3. Choose and click Feedback and testimony (from others).
  4. Click +ADD NEW, you will see the following

a) Year

b) Session semester

c) Course

d) *Name of Student/alumni

e) Student matric/IC no.

f) *Student Evidence (.pdf)

 

5. The title with * is compulsory.  So, you need to fill in or upload relevant evidence at the respective section.  

 

NOTE: If you want to know more about how to complete your TESDCP, go to the following link 

  1.  Getting Started
  2. Course File
  3. Self-Assessment & Reflections,
  4.  Professional Activities and 
  5. Yearly Validation.

How to fill in information on TESDCP?_Part4: Professional Activities

In your Professional Activities heading (once you click this heading), there will appear 1) Number of Credit Taught, 2) Attendance in Teaching and Learning Training, and 3) Implementation of nonconventional T&L.  

For 1) Number of Credit Taught and 2) Attendance in Teaching and Learning Training, it would be generated automatically based on your AIMS and GSMS (for Number of Credit Taught) and UTMSmart attendance (based on the workshop or anything that you attend).   You CANNOT add anything here.  

For Implementation of nonconventional T&L, it relates to any teaching strategies that you implement in your class other than lecture (lecture is considered as conventional T&L).  On top of that, if you share your experience with others of your teaching strategies, you can put that under Workshop (and include your Workshop evidences in terms of invitation letter for the workshop etc.) but it has to be related to one teaching strategy that you implement.  You have to make sure

a) One course has to show one teaching strategy that you are really good at

b) Strategy evidence is based on a report of what you implement in class (should include testimony, students grade, certificate of blended learning, example of activity worksheet etc.)

c)  All of your courses have evidences of your teaching strategy

In my example, since Remote Supervision is similar to MPPU1024 (Research Methodology in Education) and MPPU1070 and its code does not appear in this Professional Activities section, I select any available course which is similar to Remote Supervision (based on teaching approach).  In this example, I selected MPPU1024.  So, I will upload any relevant evidences such as a scanned copy of student attendance, URL link that show I conducted the Remote Supervision course and such.

How to fill in information on TESDCP?_Part3: Self-Assessment and Reflections

In your Self-Assessment & Reflections heading (once you click this heading), there is a column with YEAR which indicate the year of your Self-Assessment & Reflections. 

Important TIPS:  Write/ Compose your 1) Goals of Student Learning, 2) Personal Philosophy, 3) Belief and Practices of Assessment and Evaluation and 4) Self-reflection of Teaching Development over time and how this relates to future goals in Words file first. 

WHY?  If you take longer than few minutes to complete the whole sections, the system will not capture some of the things you have laboriously written/typed.  So, you might end up with only partially save work here.  THIS could drive you crazy.  

So, once you have finished writing and editing all of the four things in Words file, copy-paste from your Words file to the respective sections.    

What to do?  

  1. Click +Add New button (on your right side of your device)

2.You will see this

3.  After you have finished adding information on the relevant sections by copy-paste from Words file, Click SAVE (on the bottom right corner) – which does not appear in this picture.  

How to know that you have successfully complete this part?

You will see GREEN [COMPLETE] to indicate your success in filling in all of the four things.  As you can see from my example, for 2018, my Self-Assessment and Reflections are incomplete because there is one part in RED. 

The thing is once I have submitted the 2018 Self-Assessment & Reflections, any section left that was not completed is save.  I can’t edit this because in my 2018 ELPPT, my status is Latihan Ikhtisas so the way I was evaluated was different in 2018.  My case is an isolated case though.  

 

ADDITIONAL TIPS:  If you like to write your thoughts in people.utm.my on things related to your teaching philosophy, the way you conduct assessments in your class, you can link the URL too.   For example, if I wrote a post in people.utm.my about how I assess my student in my class, I can link the URL under Belief and practices of assessment.  An example of such post is HERE.

How to fill in information on TESDCP?_Part2: Course File

In your Course File heading (once you click this heading), there will 2 subheadings appear: Course File and Course Assessment Report (CAR).  So, all together within these two subheadings, there will be 5 evidences that are required to be uploaded. 

You need to convert all of the evidences in PDF format.  Upload your evidence in the respective title i.e. course information etc. and once you have uploaded the PDF file, don’t forget to click UPLOAD button.  There is no SAVE button in this case.  

The five evidences are: 

  1. Course information
  2. Sample of class notes (upload at least one sample)

For Class Notes, you can upload a sample of one topic OR you can combine all of your powerpoint slides in one slide (but to do so, you need to have ADOBE Creative Cloud software install in your device).  If you use Prezi, download your Prezi slides in PDF format.  Your Prezi link (as linked HERE as an example) can be used as an evidence of Learning Management System in e-content.  

3. Sample of assessments such as quiz, test etc.

4. Sample of final examination with marking or answer scheme

5.  Course Assessment Report (CAR)

To get your CAR, you need to log in to your OBE.  In stage 10 (REPORT), rather than print, choose option to save the report in PDF format.

What are the differences between TES and TESDCP [Apa beza TES dengan TESDCP?]

I have got several people asking me this question.  I am a novice in filling in TES and TESDCP.  Here are some differences that I summarise in a table form (based on my own understanding).  

Differences  between TES and TESDCP
TES TESDCP
1) It contains elements that would entitle you to get 5% bonus mark for your ELPPT i.e. e-content 1) It is your 20% ELPPT evaluation under the category of “Pengajaran [or Teaching]”

* This is why it is important for you to take this seriously regardless of your DCP track.  Teaching is our core business even though you choose Research Track.

2) No indicator of compliance [it is as if it is not compulsory for you to fill in the e-content]

*The total bonus marks that you can get for e-content are 5 marks (based on the rubric, to get 5 marks, you need to link variety of teaching and learning materials that you have created in a form of gamification, learning management system, MOOC, ODL and so forth.  If you don’t fill in the e-content, there is no SUBMIT button that you need to click unlike TESDCP.  So, it means that as if it is not compulsory for you to fill in the e-content.  But, it is better if you fill in the e-content to get the bonus marks for your ELPPT.

2)There is an indicator of compliance of your yearly validation [with Green status]

*Don’t submit your TESDCP for evaluation UNTIL all of the categories are stated as GREEN status.  Red status means that you do not provide sufficient evidences yet.

3) Under Akademik category on your UTM Staff Portal

*Once you log in to your UTM Staff Portal, choose Akademik -> Profile Akademik.  On your right side (right side of your device), Click Teaching Excellence System (there is an icon of a board and a man holding a stick pointing to the board).  For more information, go to this page.  

3) Under UTMACAD category on your UTM Staff Portal

* Once you log in to your UTM Staff Portal, choose UTMACAD.  On your left side (left side of your device), Click TESDCP (on the left bottom).

OR

Under Akademik category on your UTM Staff Portal

Once you log in to your UTM Staff Portal, choose Akademik -> TESDCP (the last category under Akademik.  So, you need to look at the list carefully)

4) There is no SUBMIT button to submit anything that you have linked on the e-content.  To know if you are successful in linking the relevant evidences, you will see a list of e-content materials with reference number. 4) There is  a SUBMIT button to submit your yearly evaluation of your teaching.    See for ACTION button with the word “SUBMIT“.
5) Similar deadline line your ELPPT (31 December) 5) It has specific deadline i.e. for 2019 evaluation, the deadline is on 31 July 2019 (Wednesday).  Extended until 15 August 2019 (Thursday)

*You need to click the button SUBMIT (under the Yearly Evaluation page).  If not, even though your status is GREEN, your TESDCP will not be processed.  Do this at the end of the year, not when you are supposed to fill in some parts of TESDCP for FREE evaluation which has different deadline from ELPPT.  Confused?  Who doesn’t?

Bila ALLAH Tidak Redha

✍? Catatan Ustadz Maududi Abdullah,  حفظه الله

Bila Allah tidak redha dengan kita, 

Allah akan sibukkan kita dengan urusan dunia.

Allah akan sibukkan kita dengan urusan anak-anak.

Allah akan sibukkan kita dengan urusan menjalankan perniagaan dan harta

Allah akan sibukkan kita dengan urusan mengejar kerjaya, pangkat dan jabatan.

Alangkah ruginya karena kesemuanya itu akan kita tinggalkan.

Sekiranya kita mampu bertanya pada orang-orang yang telah pergi terlebih dulu menemui Allah Subhana Wa Ta’alla dan jika mereka diberi peluang untuk hidup sekali lagi,

Tentu mereka akan memilih untuk memperbanyak amal ibadah

Sudah semestinya mereka memilih tidak lagi akan bertarung mati-matian untuk merebut dunia, yang sudah jelas-jelas tidak bisa dibawa mati

Karena tujuan kita diciptakan adalah untuk menyembah Allah, beramal dan beribadah kepada Allah

Kita mungkin cemburu apabila melihat orang lain lebih dari kita, dari segi gaji, pangkat, harta, jabatan, rumah besar, kenderaan mewah

Kenapa kita tidak pernah cemburu melihat ilmu agama orang lain lebih dari kita

Kita tidak pernah cemburu melihat orang lain lebih banyak amalan dari kita

Kita tidak pernah cemburu apabila melihat orang lain bangun di sepertiga malam, solat tahajud dan bermunajat kepada Allah

Kita tidak pernah cemburu apabila melihat orang lain setiap hari solat subuh berjamaah di masjid dekat rumah kita

Kita hanya cemburu apabila melihat orang lain ganti kendaraan dengan yang lebih mewah

Kita cemburu apabila melihat orang lain mampu setiap tahun bercuti mewah

Kita hanya cemburu apabila melihat orang lain bergelimang harta, tahta dan wanita. Cemburu kerana dia dilantik jadi pemimpin, memegang jawatan dan pangkat

Tetapi jarang kita cemburu apabila melihat orang lain yang dapat khatam Al’Quran sebulan dua kali

Kita jarang cemburu apabila melihat mualaf yang faham isi Al-Qur’an

Kita jarang cemburu apabila melihat orang lain berbuat untuk menegakkan Akidah Islam

Kita jarang cemburu kepada orang yang berjihad di jalan Allah

Kita jarang cemburu kepada orang yang mewakafkan dirinya dan semua Hartanya di jalan Allah

Setiap kali menyambut hari ulang tahun, kita sibuk mau merayakan sebaik mungkin, tetapi kita telah lupa dengan bertambahnya umur kita maka panggilan Ilaahi makin bertambah dekat

Kita patut bermuhasabah mengenai persiapan ke satu perjalanan yang jauh, yang tidak akan kembali untuk selama-lamanya kerana Hidup di dunia menentukan kehidupan yg kekal nanti di akhirat

Sesungguhnya

MATI itu PASTI

ALAM KUBUR itu BENAR,

HISAB itu BENAR,

MAHSYAR ALLAH itu BENAR,

SYURGA dan NERAKA itu BENAR

Penyesalan itu selalu terlambat
Menunda Taubat menunggu usia Tua
Itupun kalau masih sempat
Sebab syarat MATI tidak harus tua, tidak harus sakit

Penyelesaian masalah hidup adalah melalui iman dan amal.
Iman sebesar zarrah pun, Allah muliakan dgn syurga 100 kali dunia

Oleh yang demikian, mengapa kita tidak mahu menambah bekal hidup kita dengan Iman, Ibadah dan Amalan baik?

Mudah-mudahan hidup kita selamat di dunia dan Akhirat dan selalu bermanfaat untuk Ummah dan kita termasuk orang-orang yang Allah redhai untuk masuk ke syurgaNya…..

‎آمـــــين يا ربّ العالمــين
