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

  1. Ubah tajuk lebih santai + akademik. Buka target market postgrad untuk pasaran yang lebih luas. Jadik semua, mohon untuk cadangkan tiga tajuk – yang ada unsur santai + akademik . Tajuk aritu ialah menuju phd. Diantara tajuk yang diorang dah ada dan tak recommend kita guna ialah: 1. Hikayat seorang phd. 2. Travelog phd.
  2. Grafik Buku
    MPWS ada designer. Once dah confirm tajuk – nanti diorang will design accordingly.
  3. Permohonan ISBN.
    Untuk dapatkan ISBN, buku perlu ada: 1. kata pendahuluan, 2. abstrak dan 3. Table of Content. Tqvm, yang ini Dr Ib dah siapkan.
  4. Proof Read.
    Terima kasih uols – kita sedang pusing proof read kan. Then bila siap nanti bagi kepada mereka, diorang akan proofread sekali lagi.
  5. Medium Penerbitan:Pilihan 1: eBook (foc) pilihan yang diberikan kepada kita ialahterbit dalam bentuk eBook. Sebab diorang uruskan semua dan marketing pun mereka uruskan. Kos penulis ialah FOC. Keuntungan ialah 60% publisher dan 40% kita.Pilihan 2: cetak – Sekiranya hendak diterbitkan dalam bentuk buku, kadar bayaran ialah RM 1000 (kos pengurusan) + RM 4000 (kos cetak untuk 120 pages). Kos ini ditanggung oleh penulis (kira sorang dalam RM400-500 la kan). Then hak buku dan royalti semua ialah pada penulis. Kita boleh minta mereka uruskan marketing dengan cara kita jual buku kita tuh kepada mereka pula – supaya mereka boleh edarkan kepada kedai buku IPTA, MPH dan pesta bukuPilihan 3: ebook then cetak (cadangan mereka kita buat ebook dulu). Then dah siap ebook memang terus boleh cetak (kalau mahu). Sebab katanya memang begitulah cara trainer MPWS lain buat duit. Diorang jual buku diorang masa kelas dan dalam seminar.
  6. Tambahan kandungan setelah perbincangani. Tambah 1 bab perkahwinan/support system. Ini adalah optional contribution daripada penulis (nama sebenar tidak akan disiarkan). Bab ini akan dibuat dalam bentuk kompilasi. 1/2 – 1 page seorang. Hantar selewat-lewatnya pagi isnin ini.ii. Kesimpulan daripada perjumpaan semalam ialah teruskan mengedit – last sekali akan tiba pada saya kan? then nanti saya pas balik dan discuss dengan Dr Ib untuk softcopy. Jadi kita teruskan proses macam biasa ok, samada ebook sahaja, cetak sahaja atau ebook dan cetak – prosesnya ialah sama.iii. Keputusan untuk kaedah publication dan tajuk nanti kita buat round table – semua kena bagi pendapat untuk tajuk dan pilih kaedah publication

Among the tools we can use:

1. Prezi – be careful, your audience can be dizzy

2. Padlet – organize and plan your padlet well – it can be your contents for eLPPT. CTL can give you extra marks if you really utlize your subject content here.

3. Kahoot – kahoot can lead you to edutainment ctl. There are a few of edutainment apps. We can download at CTL UTM

4. Powtoon – http://www.powtoon.com. It is a powerful tool for us to animate the presentation tools. This will lead us to UTM-MIT-Blossoms.

5. Wideo – create video online

6. Creaza – https://www.creaza.com. Creaza is a digital learning tool that enables students to work with different subjects and topics by creating mind maps, presentation, comic strips, movies and audio productions.

7. Storybird – http://storybird.com. Visual storytelling for everyone. A plafform for writers and bloggers.

8. be funky – https://www.befunky.com. Photo editing & graphic design made for everyone.

9. Coggle – a clear way to share complex information – mind map.

Last but not least – we can use powerpoint – but put more on active learning activities (e.g. blank page in the middle of class, unique elements after 20 minutes lecture, a game or interactive picture. I think the most relevant and cute one is actually the storytelling element to help students understand the gist of our lecture in a narrative and interesting way).

Powerful Presentation

Posted on by

Handling students copies of your presentation – (e.g power point slides – hardcopy or elearning)

  • Before the class – they will be well prepared before the class and this can improve student learning, opportunities for active learning.
  • After the class – students underutilized the notes, they don’t pay attention during the class, refused to attend the class, fail to develop good note taking skills.”many students and teachers believe that writing down new information in their own fashion helps them learn”
    (Carrier et al, 1988).
  • Make up and organize your powerpoint.

 1. Prepare opening questions – please come out with positive and negative answer.

Reflect and relate this question with the topic we want to teach. And also relate with the

previous lesson.

2. Clarify the lesson’s objectives.

3. Ask students to think for 2 minutes

4. Ask students to stretch their body

5. Rearrange their positions from one position to others

6. Do active learning presentation

7. Pause every 12-15 minuters – what we should do?
