Bengkel Focus Group Discussion (FGD) for SUK Selangor Disaster Risk Reduction

Posted on by

Alhamdulillah, dengan kerjasama SUK Selangor dan Selangor Disaster Management Unit (SDMU), sebanyak 56 agensi yang terlibat hadir untuk FGD. Kajian ini adalah merupakan sebahagian element bagi Geran UTM-RDR 8.1. Big Data Analytics Framework Towards Strengthening Disaster Risk Reduction.

Antara tujuan bengkel ialah untuk mengenalpasti data-data yang ada dan diperlukan untuk membuat unjuran bagi mengurangkan risiko bencana di negeri Selangor. Selain itu, adalah penting untuk memahami proses kerja dan wishlist bagi mengurangkan risiko bencana.

Bersama dengan Mdm Yazriwati Yahya, Team 3 bersama ADO Klang dan Tok Penghulu Pulau Indah banyak insight yang dikongsi bersama. Baru kami faham tentang kepentingan SDMU sebagai unit fokus membantu menyelesaikan bencana.

Kazakhtan Potential Collaboration and Conferences

Posted on by

Today, I accompanied PM Dr Rijal to meet the delegation from Institute of Information & Computational Technologies, Al-Faraby University, Kazakhtan at UTM Kuala Lumpur. IICT is sort of like Hi-COE in Al-Faraby University. Their priority research areas are: 

i. Information Security
ii. Robotics System
iii. Big Data Analytics
iv. Artificial Intelligence

I learned from google maps the beautiful place of Al-Maty – the city of Alfarabi. 60% of Kazakhtan are muslims. They are 60% Kazakhs and the rest are russia, turks and Uyghur.

It was like ayam and itik discussion since we have language barrier. Fortunately we have Miss Gula to translate for us. Among the potential collaboration we can do;
i. Post-doctoral 5-10 people from IICT – they sponsor their young scientist to study here
ii. Postgraduate collaboration – they show big interest here
iii. International program – conferences etc – refer to http://iict.kz/en/home/ – free for us
iv. Matching grant – CRG UTM
v. Lecturer outbound – suggested by PM Rijal

Teaching Excellency System (TES) UTM

Posted on by

On 11 July 2019 (Wednesday), Dr Nihra share with us about Teaching Excellency System (TES). Basically TES is about compilation for our teaching development. For kenaikan pangkat, the lecturer must get DCP bend more than 2.33 for VK7 and bend more than 2.1 for DS54. You can access TES through my.utm.my on academic module.

For individual, we can access our academic profile through academic.utm.my/academician/dashboard.aspx (my.utm.my/academic)Annual Learning boleh akses sini (https://caps.utm.my) -> hanya bos sahaja boleh akses ye (coordinator – in Razak Faculty Dr Syahid).

Basically there are two elements within TES – teaching portfolio (as a platform untuk maklumat pencapaian serta keupayaan staf akademik untuk menguasai kompetensi asas (KA) dan kompetensi dibezakan (KD) dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Another one is about a platform untuk memasukkan penilaian pengajaran daripada pakar dan rakan setugas bagi tujuan kenaikan pangkat. Terdapat 7 modul dalam TES iaitu:

Module 1 – Blended Learning.
Sila rujuk sini untuk faham eLearning

Module 2 – OBE.
OBE lebih lanjut sila rujuk sini

  1. CAR buat Manual – hantar kepada KJ
  2. Buat melalui sistem – Course Analysis using OBE (http://obe.utm.my)

Module 3 – NALI HIEPS
Sila klik sini untuk faham HIEPS
atau klik sini untuk faham tentang active learning

  1. Tanya student (access from ePPP) – ditanya daripada 3 perspektif – penyampaian, generic skill dan NALI. Selalunya pelajar tak berapa paham – so I need to explain to students every semester during the course.
  2. Dapatkan evidence daripada pensyarah (upload ke sistem)

Module 4 – Teaching Using Technology
Sila klik sini untuk faham teachning and technology
atau klik sini untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut tentang active learning dengan penggunaan technology

Module 5 – eCONTENT (e-kandungan asli terbuka) bonus for eLPPT
Boleh guna teknologi seperti di atas untuk membangunkan e-Content

Syarat diterima sebagai e-Content:

  1. Perlu dibangunkan sendiri oleh pensyarah.
  2. Tidak melanggar copyright license
  3. perlu open (online and can be access to everyone) – wordpress, youtube, padlets, facebook cannot only friends.
  4. Boleh apply untuk markah eLPPT melalui online……
  5. Tahap bahan kandungan
    1. Reseptif – pelajar hanya menerima kandungan pengajaran – 1 marks. e.g. pdf, teks, ppt yang pelajar boleh download sahaja.
    2. Interactive dalaman antara pelajar dan komputer – 2 markah
    3. Ada ciri sumbangsaran-5marks
      • Cooperative
  6. Mestilah education content/learning
    • can – video during our class
    • cannot be tazkirah, consultation, teaser bengkel dsb
    • cannot be double count (already got in eLearning – hence eLearning UTM )

Module 6 – Teaching Portfolio (modul 6) – end date July 2019 [new!!!]

Teaching portfolio – myutm UTMACAD > TESDCP
Idea asal daripada Royal Academy of Engineering

  1. Teaching Portfolio Course File (CAR File) – masukkan every semester (start this semester by July 2019). Masukkan CAR according to these:
  2. Self-Assessment & Reflection (upload sekali sahaja setahun – mptambil contoh daripada elearning Dr Nihra & benchmark based on rubrics yanng disediakan (Bend 1- Bend 4) – peringatan untuk key-in within 20 minutes duration before timeout.
  3. Professional Activities. Tarik from system. At least 40 credits untuk kenaikan pangkat.
    1. Formal professional activities -Appointed as teaching speaker, appointed as expert panel related to that subject.
    2. Informal professional activities – need to do report –
      • boleh guna pptx or docs untuk explain semua activities yang dijalankan. e.g. Dr Nihra used flipgrid (untuk flipclassroom) and show the evidence – activities, pictures, certificate involved.
      • Siapa rajin menulis sila buat karangan like teaching methodology – explain all about class session, active learning, dsb.
  4. Testimony and testimony (from others) – IMPACT
    1. Measures of student learning  – feedback and testimony. Gambar, makan, dsb.

Module 7 – Teaching Observation 

Need more info for this.

Critical Thinking

Posted on by

Critical thinking has been define as the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgement.  Based on [1], there are 5 elements within critical thinking.

i. Gather information

ii. Express thoughts

iii. Problem solving

iv. Analysis

v. Application of knowledge

The technology forces change and change is uncomfortable as it pushes people out of their comfort zone. McCain and Jukes 1 believed that the future success does not lie within the technology but rather on the mind-set of people who use the technology. Due to those, school systems need to change to adapt to such mind-set development. McCain and Jukes 1 also added that educators should teach students higher order thinking skills –  the skills such as analysis, synthesis and evaluation that are important to effective problem solving. Thus, teachers, as the mechanism of skills, need to be equipped with the necessary skills before they could convey the skills to students

Unemployment Analysis vs Graduan bergaji Rendah

Mungkin inilah sebabnya graduan sanggup bergaji rendah zaman milenia ini. Ramai tiada pekerjaan.  Mungkin kerana itu, walaupun bergaji rendah – syukur mereka ada kerja.

High Impact Educational Program

Posted on by

In my opinion, HIEPS comes from High-Impact Practices (HIPs). They share several traits:

  • They demand considerable time and effort,
  • facilitate learning outside of the classroom,
  • require meaningful interactions with faculty and students,
  • encourage collaboration with diverse others, and
  • provide frequent and substantive feedback

HIEPS teaching and learning practices have been widely tested and have been shown to be beneficial for college students from many backgrounds. These practices take many different forms, depending on learner characteristics and on institutional priorities and contexts. High-impact practices that educational research suggests increase rates of student retention and student engagement. Basically, these includes:

First Year Seminar/Experience
Service/Community Based Learning
Diversity/Global Learning
Collaborative Assignment & Project
Capstone Project
Empirical Research
Internship
Interdisciplinary Approach to Assessment
