Seek refuge with Allah whenever you want to recite Al Quran

Posted on by

.. 98 ayat – Surah Al Nahl

Allah expect you to  seek for Allah refuge, whenever you want to recite Al Quran.

It will happen every single time when we want to engage with Al Quran (recite Al Quran, Solat) – Syaitan will Corrupt your experience with Allah – remember something else, misunderstand, misintepreted, not engage with the Al Quran

Genuinely need Allah to protect and guide us by reciting taawuz, Insya Allah.

Formative vs Summative

Posted on by

 

Assessment (Pentaksiran)

e.g. Course UANP6013, Peperiksaan mid-term (ada perjumpaan ibu bapa amek report card – feedback)

 Evaluation (Penilaian)

e.g. Tesis Viva PhD
Tidak menilai process phd – hanya berdasarkan tesis. Sebab tu external perlu tanya SV tentang students capabilities.
Formative – continuous on going to improve learning Summative – final to gauge quality
Process-oriented: How learning is going Product-oriented: What’s been learned
Reflective: Internally defined criteria/goals Prescriptive: Externally imposed standards.
Diagnostic: Identify areas for improvement Judgemental: Arrive at an overall grad/score
Flexibile: Adjust as problems are clarified. Fixed: To reward success, punish failure

(memang bersifat competitive)
Absolute: Strive for ideal outcomes.

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.

Measurement Scales for Assessment and Evaluation

Posted on by

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.

Measurement scales Essential features Zero point Example
Nominal –
Hanya untuk nama sahaja – takde nilai nombor tersebut		 Unordered categories Arbitrary (meaningless) Course code at university, postcode, jersey number, races
Ordinal –
Number ada pangkat (order)
– tidak boleh mencari nilai purata		 Ordered categories Arbitrary Ribbons in a talent contest, a student’s percentile rank, Liekert Scale
Interval –
Equal units along the scale		 Equal units along the scale. Arbitrary Fahrenheit, temperature
Ratio
-skala yang paling banyak untuk memberi information		 Equal units Absolute meaning (means tahu mana nilai 0) Kelvin temperature, disctance in kilometre.

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.

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
