SKA FREE Task Force Committee Meeting and Colloquium

Yesterday I had the chance to share a session with colleagues at School of Civil Engineering on Educational Research 101. My session began after SKA’s FREE Task Force Committee Meeting led by Dr. Azmahani. We had around 20 people attended the FREE session and it was nice to meet them, especially one of my seniors, Tn Hj Che Ros whom I’ve known for years.

It was nice to make new friends at SKA

My presentation entitled “Conducting Educational Research: An Overview” was meant to introduce colleagues with engineering background on how to prepare an educational research. I got the sense that most of them are very passionate about teaching and I bet they always try their best to optimise their students’ learning.  This was reflected by the kind of questions posed during and after the talk. My session was followed by Dr. Hadijah’s talk on preparing e-contents.

Remote supervision proposal assessment

The proposal assessment of eight remote supervision students was held today at SPS via Skype. Together with Dr. Norah, Dr. Husna and Dr. Hadijah, we were abled to provide comments and suggestions to the students as to assist them in refining their proposals.

Despite the minimal technical hiccups, we managed to engage the students from their home countries as far as China, Pakistan and Maldives. Talk about learning in the IR4.0 era….

Qualitative research methodology course for remote supervision

Last Tuesday, Dr. Hadijah and I conducted a one-day course on qualitative research methodology to post-graduate students who opted for remote supervision mode. 13 students attended the course, which included those from China, Pakistan, Maldives and Saudi Arabia.

Indeed, it was quite a challenge to cover all topics related to qualitative research in a day. But we managed to share with the students the fundamentals of qualitative research and the overview of qualitative research proposal.

All in all, it was an interesting session as students actively participated in the discussions during class activities, which were prepared by Dr. Hadijah.
