The first module of UTM Torch Programme was held today at CTLD. The module consisted of four workshops:
Workshop SoTL 1: Prof. Dr. Khairiyah binti Mohd Yusof (Overview of SoTL)
Workshop SoTL 2: AP Dr. Narina binti A. Samah (Fundamentals of SoTL)
Workshop SoTL 3 : Prof. Dr. Fatin Aliah Phang (Overview of Learning Theories)
Workshop SoTL 4 : AP Dr. Syed Ahmad Helmi bin Syed Hassan (Planning for SoTL Through paper writing)
I had the opportunity to present my SoTL mini research at the 10th International Qualitative Research Conference 2021 or IQRC 2021 (21-23 October 2021) organised by the Qualitative Research Association of Malaysia (QRAM). This year’s theme was “Humanness & Technology for Qualitative Research: New Approaches”.
My presentation entitled ““It is Not Easy to be a Housewife, Student and Teacher at the Same Time”: Stories of Struggles Among Malaysian Female Teachers as Postgraduate Students During the Covid-19 Pandemic” was basically a collection of narratives of female teachers who struggled to achieve balance while juggling their multiple roles as teachers, students, mothers and wives, among others, during the pandemic. The narratives were derived from my qualitative data that was based on reflection practice assignment from my MPPE 1113 Cognitive Psychology course.
