Hari ni last day di conference ni. Tentatif bermula dengan pembentangan 4 orang termasuk diri sendiri. Alhamdulillah, banyak input yang diterima walaupun sedar yang kajian tersebut lebih bersifat preliminary study sahaja.
Kemudian, peserta mengikuti tutorial mengenai penggunaan teknologi terkini dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Walaupun OER, OCW, Web 2.0 adalah mainan kami di bidang teknologi pendidikan, namun peluang belajar seperti ini tak akan ditolak. Pasti ada sahaja benda baru yang kita akan temui… itulah konsep perkongsian pengetahuan.
Sesi terakhir bermula pukul 2, diminta oleh committee untuk menjadi pengerusi sesi ini tak dapat saya tolak. Alhamdulillah, tepat jam 4 petang, semua 7 pembentang selesai memberikan perkongsian masing2.
Pandangan dari meja pengerusi.
Pertemuan dengan kumpulan penyelidik yang mempunyai minat seiring adalah sangat dihargai. Moga kami berada pada tempat yang betul untuk membantu meningkatkan pendidikan Negara. InsyaAllah…
Last view dari bilik hotel.
Rindu anak-anak … Jumpa lagi tahun depan Insyaallah.
Kali kedua sebagai pembentang di International Congress on Engineering Education( ICEED 2014 Conference) anjuran University Teknologi Mara dan IEEE Advancing Technology for Humanity. Tahun lepas buat di Hotel Grand Dorset, Subang Jaya, Selangor. Tahun ni buat di Berjaya Times Square Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.
Pergi bertiga dengan Pelajar master Teknologi Pendidikan, Radhiah dan ‘Izzati. Kali ni, banyak paper dari UTM yang diterima. Alhamdulillah. Kami menginap di hotel yang sama…nak cari tempat makan pun senang… cuma bilik dia mahal sikit. Oleh kerana bawak anak dara orang… kejam mata jeklah masa nak bayar tu.
Berbaloi dengan harga… bilik sangat spacious.
Bilik air dan bilik mandi besar dan selesa.
Aturcara bermula dengan upacara pembukaan dan ucaptama oleh Prof Dr Azni Zain Ahmed, Timbalan Naib Cancelor ( Akademik dan Antarabangsa) UiTM. Kemudian, kami dibentangkan dengan forum bertajuk ” Engineering Education in Japan : An Insight” oleh 3 orang pembentang daripada Kolej Teknikal Kanazawa, Jepun. Pendekatan KTC kini sangat menekankan kepada meningkatkan kreativiti dalam kalangan pelajar mereka. Antara pendekatan mereka adalah menjalankan pertandingan dalam kelas yang kemudiannya dipertandingkan diperingkat kebangsaan dan antarabangsa.
Kolej ini juga membuat kerjasama dengan industri dimana syarikat terbabit membuat mou dengan KTC yang dipanggil sebagai in-house training industri bagi memastikan pelajar mendapat kemahiran yang diperlukan oleh kedua-dua pihak yang terlibat iaitu pelajar dan industri.
“Learning through Experience” ditekankan oleh Prof Akio Inazawa sepanjang forum ini dijalankan. Mungkin, UTM boleh mengambil sedikit idea untuk diaplikasikan dalam kurikulum kami kemudian nanti…
Alhamdulillah, selesai dah seminar ICEED 2013. Banyak yang telah ku pelajari sepanjang 2 hari di sini. Tentang kajian, proses akreditasi, OBE, HCI, User Interface, Creative Learning Model, dan… banyaklah.
Sambil2 dengar, sambil memikirkan kesesuaian dengan diri… apa kajian lanjutan yang mungkin boleh dilaksanakan tahun depan. kuperhatikan juga tingkahlaku sesetengah Pembentang yang sangat defensive terhadap kajian yang dijalankan…
Teman buat tahan mengantuk… Cappucino
Majlis penutup yang ringkas.
Takda dinner, jamuan keraian, lawatan… betul2 fokus pada perkongsian ilmu.
Letih tapi berbaloi.
Selepas 2 kali terlibat dengan Seminar Antarabangsa Anjuran CTL dan CEE, rasa sangat berterima kasih pada jawatankuasa kerja yang bertugas sepanjang seminar ICEED 2013 dijalankan. Mudah2 an, kertas kerja yang dihantar ke seminar ini akan diterima oleh SCOPUS untuk diindekskan… Aminnnn.
As i inform earlier in my previous post that I attend ICEED 2013 conference 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.
My paper presented during this conference is “The framework for Learning using Video on Cognitive Load Theory among Visual Learners” written by Me and my students, Noor ‘Izzati Hamizan and Radhiah Ab Rahim.
Abstract for my paper is as follows:
Using video for learning is no longer extraordinary in the world of education. Many researchers have shown that visual learners enjoy the use of video. However, which video will best grab their attention? This research was conducted to investigate the best framework for learning using video among visual learners. In order to do so, three different videos embedded with Cognitive Load Theory were selected by researchers. Then, 23 students from varied faculties at University Technology Malaysia (UTM) were selected to answer the Visual, Audio and Kinaesthetic (VAK) Learning Style Test. Nine visual learners were then identified among these respondents and invited to answer the questionnaire on perception of learning using video based on cognitive load theory. Data were analyzed using qualitative measures and content analysis. The findings show that visual learners love videos with less than six minutesโ duration, high definition visual quality, simple delivery language and a slow delivery method. All of the visual learners preferred to use video before entering class, which synchronizes with the flip classroom strategy. Hopefully, this framework can be used by educators to develop their own video-based learning materials.

Some suggestion on how the research can be improved by the fellow collegue during my presentation were as follow:
1. Use another group (kinaestetic or Auditory learners) as the control group to see the differences and similarity using the same assesment tools. 2. Should also look into bacground of the learners such as gender, course, etc that might influence the results. 3. Try to look into the psycology aspect on the Cognitive Load of the learners and their performance.
On 4-5 December 2013, University Teknologi Mara and IEEE Advancing Technology for Humanity had organize the ICEED 2013 Conference at Hotel Grand Dorset, Subang Jaya, Selangor.
This is the 5th year of the conference series and the theme for the past conference has evolved from embracing the challenges in engineering education to acknowledging that engineering education is the way forward.
Some paper presented in this conference
Lecture Notes on A Linear Form of Power Spectral Density Estimation in signal Processing by Prof Qun Wan from China.
Using Air Temperature Data of All the Prefectural Capitals in Japan as Teaching Material for Introductory Data-MIning Classes by Prof Akio Imazawa from Japan.
Introducing Process Competences in a PBL-Based Engineering Course by Dr Jose Soler from Denmark.
Inventiveness of Students in an Intnational Program of Engineering Educatiob – Initial Study by Prof. Eleazar Jimenez Serrano from Mexico.
The conference really give many information regarding education, research and engineering education that currently need to be considered and concern. The most hot topic during the session is EAC and OBE as well as soft skill of the Engineering Education Students. I hope that I can join this conference again next year, InsyaAllah.
