DILEMA PENSYARAH BERSAMA BAKTI YANG DICURAHKAN 🙂

**Profesor Madya Dr Salasiah Hanin Hamjah di Pusat Kajian Dakwah & Kepimpinan, Fakulti Pengajian Islam, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia

KERJAYA sebagai pensyarah adalah kerjaya yang mulia. Ramai pelajar yang telah dididik sehingga menjadi insan yang berguna kepada agama dan negara.
Pada waktu dahulu, pensyarah sering dipandang tinggi oleh masyarakat kerana keilmuan serta sahsiahnya yang mulia untuk dicontohi.

Mahasiswa pada ketika itu sangat menghormati pensyarah, menundukkan sedikit badan apabila lalu di hadapan mereka dan pasti akan memberi salam ketika bersua.

Jika sudah membuat temujanji untuk bertemu, pastinya akan datang lebih awal sebelum masa yang dijanjikan. Senario ini agak berbeza pada masa kini. Pelajar sekarang lebih mempunyai ruang untuk mendekati pensyarah.

Pensyarah ada masanya menjadi kawan dan ada masanya menjadi ibu atau bapa kepada pelajar. Jika pelajar melakukan kesalahan, mereka tidak lagi dilemparkan kertas sehingga bertaburan di atas lantai. Jika mereka datang kuliah lewat, pensyarah hanya boleh memberi peringatan dan tidak mengunci pintu dewan kuliah.

Nota kuliah pula boleh diperoleh secara online malah kuliah kadang-kadang berlaku secara maya. Benarlah, dunia telah berubah dan rentak manusia turut berubah.  Pensyarah terus berusaha menyesuaikan diri dengan kerjaya mereka meskipun skop kerja semakin luas. Jika dahulu, pensyarah lebih menumpukan kepada pengajaran, penyeliaan, penulisan dan khidmat masyarakat, tetapi kini skop kerja pensyarah ditambah dengan penglibatan di dalam penyelidikan.

Jika dahulu pensyarah cenderung menulis buku tetapi sekarang pensyarah perlu menulis artikel jurnal SCOPUS/WoS/ERA/Mycite sebagai KPI tahunan. Dalam PdP pula, pensyarah perlu menguasai kemahiran teknologi digital untuk memenuhi tuntutan semasa dalam dunia pengajaran dan pembelajaran kontemporari. Pensyarah juga perlu menjalankan penyelidikan dengan industri dan komuniti di peringkat kebangsaan dan antarabangsa.

Pensyarah juga perlu memberi khidmat masyarakat berbentuk perundingan, rujukan pakar, ceramah, kuliah dan keterlibatan dalam badan profesional supaya visibiliti mereka tersohor di persada negara. Pendek kata pensyarah perlu menguasai pelbagai kemahiran multi tasking dan menjadi serba boleh. Ini menjadikan dunia pensyarah semakin sibuk kerana tuntutan kerjaya yang terlalu banyak. Hakikatnya tugas pensyarah lebih-lebih lagi di universiti penyelidikan semakin mencabar.

Kadang-kadang ada yang mengambil sikap buat tidak tahu sahaja apabila merasai keupayaan diri sudah tidak mampu mengikuti peredaran dan kehendak semasa yang terlalu tinggi. Ada juga yang berusaha menyahut cabaran dan berusaha memenuhi tuntutan semasa terutamanya menerbitkan artikel dalam jurnal antarabangsa yang berimpak tinggi.

Malangnya, ada yang kecewa apabila artikel yang dihantar ke jurnal berprestij, ditolak. Sekali dua mencuba, masih ada semangat. Bagaimanapun, setelah berusaha berkali-kali, akhirnya timbul juga perasaan jemu dan putus asa. Itulah antara cabaran yang perlu ditempuh oleh seorang pensyarah. Lebih menyedihkan, kadang-kadang kesibukan memaksa segelintir pensyarah tidak cukup persediaan ilmu untuk mengajar kerana masa banyak dihabiskan pada tugasan lain yang mencabar.

Saya yakin, apa pun cabaran yang ditempuh, pensyarah tidak pernah menyesal menjadi seorang pensyarah, cuma memohon ada timbangtara yang diplomasi pada kerjaya ini pada masa mendatang.

Semoga usaha MAAC (Kongres Persatuan Akademik Malaysia) berkaitan isu kenaikan pangkat pensyarah di institusi pengajian tinggi awam mendapat jalan keluar terbaik.

Semoga kerjaya pensyarah ini kekal menjadi kerjaya yang mulia, yang dapat membimbing manusia ke arah menjadi insan berjasa. Diharapkan juga agar pensyarah mempunyai masa yang munasabah untuk menajamkan ilmu dan kepakaran dengan mengurangkan kesibukan mereka pada perkara-perkara teknikal yang sering berubah-ubah. Kadang-kadang terbanding juga dengan kerjaya pendidik lain seperti di sekolah.

Guru-guru ada time base dalam kenaikan pangkat, malah gaji mereka lebih kurang sahaja dengan gaji pensyarah padahal pensyarah perlu belajar sehingga ke peringkat doktor falsafah. Ada juga yang bekerja di bahagian pentadbiran, gaji mereka lebih banyak walaupun pensyarah mempunyai kelulusan yang lebih tinggi. Kita bimbang jika keadaan ini berterusan, suatu hari nanti, anak-anak muda kurang berminat memilih kerjaya ini yang disimpulkan terlalu sibuk dengan ganjaran yang kurang sepadan.

Kita juga bimbang, jika pensyarah terlalu disibukkan dengan urusan lain, cendikiawan mereka semakin terhakis kerana keterbatasan masa untuk terus menggali intipati ilmu.

Harapan saya, walau apa jua cabaran yang ditempuh oleh pensyarah, semoga mereka terus cekal menempuhnya dan Allah permudahkan segala urusan mereka dan Allah angkat darjat mereka sebagai pendidik yang mulia, yang setia menabur bakti untuk kesejahteraan anak bangsa.

Semoga segala ilmu yang dicurahkan kepada pelajar akan menjadi amal jariah untuk manfaat pensyarah di alam abadi. Biarlah kekayaan bukan menjadi impian di dunia tetapi biarlah ilmu yang disampaikan menjadi pedoman kepada generasi harapan sepanjang hayat mereka.Aamiin.

DIPLOMA @UTMKL : Student orientation

Student orientation or new student orientation is a period before the start of an academic year at a university or tertiary institutions. A variety of events are held to orient and welcome new students during this period. TEAM of HEPKL is hosting the program from today ,17 June to  19 June 2020 with the new norm :-).

Here is my Team at Students Affairs office (HEP KL). They are all awesome!!!

The new way of handling the orientation program is shared in the 2nd video 🙂

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE STUDENTS

3 DAYS PROGRAM IS YOUR first step towards transitioning as a student into a campus life with rich experiences

ENJOY AND HAVE FUN TO ALL OF YOU

WORKING AFTER POST MCO- COVID 19

GENERAL INFO : RETURN TO WORK
In the time of the current COVID-19 Pandemic and until there is a definitive treatment or vaccine that can protect us from the SARS-CoV 2 infection that is the cause for the COVID19 infection, we need to maintain infection control practices that help to reduce transmission. Any action should be based on the key principles of Occupational Safety and Health.
General return to work protocol are as follows:
i. There should be workplace protocols in place that includes disease surveillance and prevention of the spread of infection.
ii. All employers to screen staff on a daily basis for symptoms of Covid-19, including a symptom check as well as temperature assessment.
iii. All employees to use appropriate protective equipment especially where social distancing is not possible. An appropriate mask should be worn in all public places and during work.
iv. Work environment and surfaces need to be cleaned on a regular basis or at least twice daily.
v. Hand disinfectants and/or hand washing facilities with soap should be made available for all workers and visitors.
vi. Stringent social distancing measures should be implemented in the workplace. Provide and ensure employees have space to be at least one meter apart.
vii. If a company provide accommodation for its workers, the above measures should be implemented at the place of accommodation.
TQVM to HEPKL TEAM for the help – to ready the office for post MCO return to work
thank you and thank you

UNIVERSITIES STUDENTS – JOURNEY HOME DURING MCO

UNIVERSITIES have prepared the necessary action plans to help stranded students get back to their hometowns. Proper SOP must be established to arrange for buses and flights that will ferry the students to their respective drop-off points. A tight schedule for the movement has been established and the university has conducted a survey among the students on important information such as the destination and appropriate mode of movement. Movement guidelines have also been prepared to ensure that movement proposals are in full compliance with any decision made by the authorities. All of us will fall in line to ensure that the welfare, well-being and safety of the students are maintained.

The students have been staying at their residential colleges located within each respective campus for almost five weeks, which is two cycles (of 14-days quarantine). As far as the decision to go back or continue to stay on campus, there are factors being considered by students like – Internet connectivity, the situation back home, the safety of their families and etc., coordination is very crucial because there are so many things involved, including conditions and approval from relevant authorities that need to be considered and complied with before the students safely arrive to their families. Representative from each family would be present at identified police district headquarters to pick up the students or student who would not be picked up by their family members upon arrival, government agency representatives would send them home.

Finally on 27 April 2020 UTMKL has made its first trip to northern states in 3 buses that had been disinfected. In UTMKL from 27 April to 20 May 2020, HEPKL has organised 11 trips involving 284 students. This included Sabahan and Sarawakian students :-). 

Thank you to all as task involving multiple agencies and partners working in collaboration in ensuring the safe return of the students to their loved ones…LOVE you ALL

Covid-19: Individual action more important than government action

How individuals respond to government advice on preventing the spread of Covid-19 will be at least as important, if not more so, than government action.This is according to a commentary published in The Lancet journal on March 9 (2020) from researchers at the University of Oxford and Imperial College London in the United Kingdom, and Utrecht University and the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment in the Netherlands.

Professor Deirdre Hollingsworth from Oxford’s Big Data Institute said: “Completely preventing infection and mortality is not possible, so this is about mitigation.“Our knowledge and understanding of Covid-19 will change over time, as will the response.“High quality data collection and analysis will form an essential part of the control effort.“Government communication strategies to keep the public informed will be absolutely vital.”Social distancing is currently the most important measure, with an individual’s behaviour key.This includes early self-isolation and quarantine, seeking remote medical advice, and not attending large gatherings or going to crowded places.

The virus seems to largely affect older people and those with existing medical conditions, so targeted social distancing may be most effective.Government actions will be important, including banning large events such as football matches; closing workplaces and schools where Covid-19 has been identified; and making sure that good diagnostic facilities and remotely-accessed advice, like telephone helplines, are widely available.Ensuring the provision of specialist healthcare is also vital.The researchers warn, however, that large-scale measures may only be of limited effect without individual responsibility.

All measures, of course, will have an economic impact, and some stricter measures, such as shutting down entire cities as seen in Wuhan, China, may be less effective in Western democracies.The aim of these measures is to slow the spread of the virus and avoiding a huge peak in the number of new infections.This can avoid overwhelming health services, keep the impact on the economy to within manageable levels, and effectively buy more time to develop and manufacture effective vaccines and treatments.

Imperial College’s Prof Sir Roy Anderson said: “Governments need to decide on the main objectives of mitigation: is it minimising morbidity and associated mortality, avoiding an epidemic peak that overwhelms healthcare services, keeping the effects on the economy within manageable levels, or flattening the epidemic curve to wait for vaccine development and manufacture on scale and antiviral drug therapies? “We point out they cannot achieve all of these, so choices must be made.”The researchers highlight that wider support for healthcare services and workers is vital.

Containing the spread of an infectious disease relies on keeping the reproduction number (R0) – the number of people infected by each infected person – below 1, where the pathogen will eventually die out.If R0 rises above 1, i.e. each infected person infects more than one other person, the pathogen will spread.Early data from China suggests that the R0 for Covid-19 could be as high as 2.5, implying that in an uncontained outbreak, 60% of the population could be infected.However, with Covid-19, it is not currently clear how long it takes for an infected person to become infectious to others, the duration of infectiousness, the fatality rate, and whether and for how long people are infectious before symptoms appear.It is also not currently clear if there are cases without symptoms.

It currently seems likely that the pandemic will spread more slowly than seasonal influenza and SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), but last longer, which has economic implications.Seasonal influenza is generally limited by warmer weather, but it is not known if this is the same for Covid-19, so monitoring is needed.Ongoing clinical research into treating seriously ill patients is also necessary.One of the main priorities for researchers and policymakers will be contact tracing, with models suggesting that 70% of people an individual has come into contact with will need to be traced to control the early spread of the disease.

The authors say other priorities include shortening the time from symptom onset to isolation, supporting home treatment and diagnosis, and developing strategies to deal with the economic consequences of extended absence from work.Prof Hans Heesterbeek from Utrecht’s Department of Population Health Sciences said: “Social distancing measures are societally and economically disruptive, and a balance has to be sought in how long they can be held in place.“The models show that stopping measures after a few months could lead to a new peak later in the year.“It would be good to investigate this further.”
