A job well done by my third year PhD student, Fatini for successfully presented her paper entitled “Examining Teachers’ Brain Functional Connectivity during Reflection: A Preliminary Study” at the IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering 2022 (TALE 2022) organised by IEEE and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Many congratulations to my third year PhD student, Shanthini for successfully presented her paper entitled “Using Brain Functional Connectivity Pattern to Examine the Effectiveness of a Reading Intervention for Children with Dyslexia” at the IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering 2022 (TALE 2022) organised by IEEE and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
I would like to congratulate my PhD student, Fatini Md Said for successfully negotiated her proposal defense entitled “The Study of Brain Functional Connectivity during Reflective Thinking among Teachers using Electroencephalogram (EEG)” this morning.
Thank you to the examiners AP Dr. Zainudin and AP Dr. Norlaili for the insightful comments and suggestions. Thank you also to AP Dr. Baharin who chaired the session and Dr. Ivy as the assistant to the Chairperson.
Many congratulations to my PhD student, Shanthini A/P Chandra Sekaran Naidu for successfully negotiated her proposal defense entitled “Effectiveness of Clay Integrated Sound Box Approach (CISBA) in Enhancing Early Reading Skills among Children with Dyslexia” this afternoon. Thank you to the examiners Prof. Yeo and AP Dr. Zainudin for the insightful comments and suggestions. Thank you also to AP Dr. Baharin who chaired the session and Dr. Rustam as the assistant to the Chairperson.
We had a session on “Taklimat Urus Tadbir Dana Penyelidikan KPT kepada penerima Geran FRGS 2020” with RMC yesterday, which focusing on:
1. Research project management
2. Financial management
3. Research project monitoring
4. Roles and responsibility
5. Integrity and research ethics
All guidelines can be referred to via this link: https://rmc.utm.my/research-document/
The next day, an online coaching session was also organised by RMC to facilitate researchers in relation to:
Yesterday our research group conducted test runs for Fatini’s and Shanthini’s PhD projects. As usual, Taha assisted us with the technical part while Sayyid served as the subject. Dr Zuri and Dr. Norlaili offered the technical expertise as well.
The four of us met up at DSP Lab yesterday for some updates by Shanthini on her project.
Yesterday we gathered at DSP Lab SKE to discuss the progress of the Fatini’s research. This time around we were joined by Dr. Nurul Ashikin who shared us some of her thoughts based on her expertise and previous experiences conducting EEG on children with disabilities.
Yesterday we met up at DSP Lab to listen to Shanthini’s presentation on brain-based study among dyslexic children.
The first group meeting for “Reflective Brain” project was organised at DSP Lab yesterday. It was primarily meant for discussing the directions of the project that will be carried out by Fatini and Taha. We were joined by Dr Zuri and Dr Syahida.

Taha sharing the way he organised his literature review
During the discussion, Fatini shared her literature review on the concepts of reflection, the thinking process as well as the brain functioning related to reflections. Taha also shared his organisation of literature review. While I got the chance to share the initial conceptual framework adopted from Prof. Ombao’s talk during the short course in UTMKL last time.
