Tahniah kepada semua pemenang pertandingan kali ini. Tahniah juga kepada sekretariat yang memastikan kelancaran majlis sepanjang hari ini. Saya tak berpeluang untuk menyertai kerana faktor masa. Harap2 berpeluang tahun depan. InsyaAllah.

New master graduate

Alhamdulillah… dah grad pelajar saya yang seorang ni. Tunggu surat pengesahan daripada senat je.

All her hardwork paid off. Semoga jalan selepas ini lebih terang untuk dia dan suami tercinta.

Application of the Pedagogical and Andragogical Model in Web-Based Learning Instruction among Non-Major Computer Science Students Learning Programming

As i inform earlier in this post on Doctoral Consortium as well as in this post that I attend LaTiCE 2014 in conjunction with RCEE & RHEd 2014 to present my paper. For your information, all paper presented in this conference will be indexed in IEE Explore which is included in SCOPUS and ISI.

Alhamdulillah, 2 of my paper had been accepted to be presented during this conference.

The title of my first paper ( some finding based on my PhD research) is

“Application of the Pedagogical and Andragogical Model in Web-Based Learning Instruction among Non-Major Computer Science Students Learning Programming”

Abstract for my paper is as follows:

This study identified the pedagogical and andragogical learning orientations preferred by non-major Computer Science students in one of the higher education institutions in Malaysia. The pedagogical and andragogical learning orientation model differs in six assumptions about learners, which are: the learnerโ€™s need to know, selfconcept, existing experience, readiness to learn, orientation to learning, and motivation [1]. Questionnaires were developed and distributed among 262 undergraduate students in non-major Computer Science Faculty who took the Introduction to Programming Language course. Descriptive analyses have also been conducted (alpha โ€“ 0.958), and the results showed that a majority of the sample in this study (246 respondents or 93.9%) stay under Stage 2 in the four stages of learning development. This means that the respondents had a high preference for pedagogical as well as andragogical learning orientations. Data collected shows that non-major Computer Science students in the age range of 18 to 24 are able to work independently since their self-concept had progressed to the self-directed learning phase. However, they still need guidance from their lecturers. These findings were used to develop a prototype of an individualized online learning environment based on the pedagogy and andragogy as its foundational model. Learners in Stage 2 need goal-setting, learning strategies, and evaluation to be set by the teacher. The online learning environment allowed the student to explore her learning modules from easy to hard levels. However, students were allowed to continue to the next module even though their performance was not yet at the passing level. This is based on andragogical theory; that they are dependent learners with a moderate level of self-directedness. Additional learning materials were also provided that could be freely explored by learners at their own pace. The prototype was tested among one group of 32 students in the Faculty of Education in the course Introduction to Programming using Pre-Experimental Research Design. The statistical analysis conducted indicated that the application of the pedagogical and andragogical Model in web based instruction had a positive effect on learnersโ€™ outcomes.

Pembentangan kertas kerja di OCW Conference 2013

Kehadiran aku dan Prof Md Noor Hassan ke sini adalah untuk mendapatkan serba sedikit pengalaman dalam perkembangan dunia OER di dunia serta membentangkan kertas kerja kami ” Expanding the OER Community by Showcasing a Development Model that Works”.

Kertas kerja ni kami bina berdasarkan pengalaman UTM membangunkan OCW@UTM. Kami turut berkongsi bagaimana UTM mulai menyertai komuniti OER dengan membangunkan Open Repository kami di eprints.utm.my, menggalakkan perkongsian bahan multimedia menerusi utmotion.utm.my dan mempromosikan OCW@UTM yang boleh diakses menerusi ocw.utm.my.

Kami juga memaklumkan dalam kertas kerja tersebut mengenai initiatif Malaysia bagi membangunkan OER Malaysia dengan kerjasama semua IPTA pada masa akan datang.

Jika dilihat pada semangat yang dikongsi oleh semua pembentang di Conference OCW di Bali ini, kami percaya OER akan semakin diterima dan disokong oleh pelbagai kumpulan pengguna termasuk ahli akademik yang pada awalnya menolak pendekatan ini, InsyaAllah.

OCW Conference 2013

Hari ini bermulalah conference ocw di Bali, Indonesia. Pelbagai pembentangan kertas kerja yang sangat menarik dikongsi oleh pelbagai negara. Hebat rupanya komuniti yang menyokong pendidikan terbuka atau OER ini. Antara topik yang sangat menarik perhatian adalah mengenai Mechanical MOOCs oleh professor dari MIT an Projek OOPs oleh Fay Chen dari Taiwan.

Aku dan Prof Md Noor ke sini untuk bentangkan kertas kerja kami berdasarkan pengalaman UTM menyertai OCW consortium semenjak 2011 yang lalu. Tapi kertas kerja kami akan dibentangkan pada hari terakhir conference.

Conference ni dibuat di Ayodya Resort, Nusa Dua, Bali. Cantik sangat hotel ni. Rasa selamat sebab nak masuk kawasan ni ada sekuriti yang ketat. Rupa2nya hotel 5 bintang. Tapi kami dapat harga rendah sebab booking dengan agoda.com
