Reflection of Lecture(2): Learn by Heart?

2013-03-04
Today was the second lecture for subject PPEK3104. As a first thought: "Pay more attention, so that I can blog more completely? I think so." In fact, I know that we learn for knowledge and interest but NOT for ASSIGNMENT or EXAM (As what Dr. Zuraidah mentioned today). Such a shameful thought I had.

Come to our lecture, Dr. did the revision of Preschool Education Philosophy (JERSI) in our country with us today. What can I conclude about that? Early Childhood Education is not that simple and not important as some people (who are not aware of its significance) think. Without a proper early childhood education, can a child learn through holistic approach? Quote a nice idiom from the lecturer's slide “Melentur buluh biarlah dari rebungnya~" Yes, early child hood educators are playing the important role as well!.

However, there is a common issue exists in the early childhood education of Malaysia, which is the difference between preschools in city and preschools in village. As we can see, urban children always see double on their RESULT than the country children. However, country children always can mix well and easily with different kinds of people than the former one.

Frankly speaking, I am not expert in this area yet. Haha, so hope that I can be more and more expert in this area one day!

That's all.

Reflection of Lecture(1): "NEW"

2013-02-25
As usual, a NEW year, a NEW semester, NEW subjects, NEW lecturers, NEW lectures always bring NEW learning, NEW theories and many other NEW things.

With a NEW subject PPEK 3104 Programme Planning and Instructional Strategy 1.V.1, I hope that I can learn more NEW and fresh things in this lecture. It was a very interesting lecture presented by our NEW lecturer. However, NEW stress had started to appear when the lecturer was giving all the NEW assignments…

To make a refresh on my mind in this lecture on last Monday.
Here is the list of NEW things that I have exposed to in this lecture:
1. New Lecturer: Dr. Zuraidah Binti Abdullah

2. New Man: Glenn Doman (The founder of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential)

3. New Assignment: To create a NEW blog; to build a model of kindergarten.

Last but not least, the only things I am pretty sure that they are NO longer NEW for me, but still old and familiar to me are -- My lovely course mates.

So, hope that all of us (third year PAKK students) can have a great, NEW and fun in this NEW semester 6!

End.=)
