Tips membetulkan homework anak.
Apabila ada homework yang salah, suruh anak jelaskan macamana dia buat (how knowledge) untuk dapat jawapan yang salah itu. Daripada penjelasan tersebut, kita kenalpasti dan terangkan kenapa dia salah (why knowledge). Kemudian baru betulkan semula (refine how and why knowledge) kesalahan tersebut.

Secara tidak langsung, sebenarnya kita telah berjaya mengajar anak tentang cara mereka berfikir (meta-cognitive knowledge) untuk dapatkan sebarang solusi terhadap masalah. Itulah dia roh berfikir aras tinggi (Higher Order Thinking Skills) dan itulah dia formative assessment.

Previously, we use normal referenced test (ujian rujukan norma – Bell-shaped graph) to assess the students’ assessment. Now, when we move to OBE – we are hardly to get bell-shaped graph anymore. This is because formative assessment use criterion reference test. It is like measuring people’s height – most of Malaysian will be between 1.5-1.7 meters height. But it is still valid for summative evaluation (e.g final exam) to get the bell-shaped graph again.

Types of Classroom Test

A. Why we need OBE?

No OBE means no accreditation by MQA. Based on Washington Accord (1989), by using OBE means the students as the product of OBE can work anyway in the country within/signed Washington Accord. Means our student capable to sell themselves internationally.

When you plan your teaching for a course, what is the first thing that you think about?

From 30 years Professor’s experience

Potential students for good job.  Even 3.9 CGPA Students’ – not ready for the industries. Because they are straight forward. When they come to industry which are open book, then there is no one ultimate answer. Then they don’t know what to answer. They fail.

Another story, 2.5 CGPA student is able to be with the fifth company because he always get better offer within 2 years. Because the quality of him as a human being (friendly, good communication skills, helpful).

How to improve soft skills

• Doing part time job. e.g Starbucks, receptionist, janitor.
  • Doing part time job can increase the communication skills
  • Down to earth – know how to respect people, listen to people.
  • Experience nurture us to be more independent and appreciate value of life
  • More nature than
• HOTS is better to be teach using natural activity instead of modules in the class.

Alhamdulillah, we have a wonderful session with Prof Madya Dr Ahmad Johari Sihes. From 215 pm to understand more about curriculum development at Dewan CTL UTM Johor Bahru.

Life Learning I learn from him today:
1. Don’t see others as unimportant’. Especially we as technology people vs social science people. I experienced these a lot of time. I took it as the different shool of thought. Hence it is not easy to change others’ mental model. So I just adjusting myself. But his advice is quite relevant – when us become the big people, don’t do these to other people.

2. Don’t do syok sendiri research/curiculum – make sure do some needs analysis – then our curriculum will be more relevant since it must according to the analysis findings.

Academically, herewith is the key points he shared during the course.

Lecturer has 3P for curriculum design

1. Perancang – merancang dan menyediakan kkurikulum
2. Pelaksana – melaksankan kurikulum melalui pengajaran & pembelajaran
3. Penilai – adakah kurikulum efektif? (pensyarah perlu nilai sendiri).

Proses Rancangan Pengajaran

1. Kurikulum
2. Silibus/maklumat kursus – gabungan ‘course outline’
3. Rancangan Kerja
4. Rancangan pengajaran
