This afternoon, Prof. Yeo’s PhD student successfully negotiated her proposal defence. All best wishes to Mdm. Norzarina with her proposed project entitled “Enhancing Preschool Student’s Ergonomic Knowledge and Digital Device Usage Behaviour Through Implementation of Teaching Module on Ergonomic”.
Panel of the day
Prof. Yeo also shared some tips in organising the write up for chapter 1. For instance, Prof. mentioned that, if the issues goes something like this: Young children should be exposed to the knowledge on ergonomic and cultivate the appropriate digital device use behaviour. Then explain the effect of digital device use which includes points based on: (i) many studies on the effect of cognitive and social skills but limited on physical well being, in this case the musculoskeletal comfort/health; (ii) many studies emphasising on ergonomic fit between adults and their workstations/how they position their digital device in the office but limited research on how a child should position their digital device to ensure musculoskeletal comfort /health; (iii) prolong use of digital device may lead to poor posture and eventually to musculoskeletal disorder and affect their learning; (iv) needs preventive measure from young. Thus, (i) to (iv) and etc are the research gap; next will be the practice gap and the rest follows.
Thank you Prof. Yeo for the tips!
PhD Proposal Defense Session 2020/2021-2 (Examiner)
We had a proposal defense session for Dr. Zakiah’s PhD student this morning. The session was chaired by AP Dr. Aqeel with Dr. Rustam as his assistance. While Prof. Yeo and myself as the examiners.
Among the main points I learned today is that contextualising special education in a PhD research project requires a candidate to:
(1) accurately conceptualise the research focus (i.e. in this project the focus is children with autism);
(2) differentiate the terms employed (for example what is the differences between “special education” and “inclusive education”);
(3) highlight the issue within the Malaysian context (e.g. the issue of diagnosis of autism in Malaysia).
Thank you Prof. Yeo for the detail explanations related to the three points mentioned above. And congratulations to Natasha Amira (PPPE) for successfully negotiated her proposal defence. All best wishes.
