Pengaruh gaya kognitif terhadap pencapaian pelajar

Gaya kognitif ialah satu gaya yang sedia ada pada seseorang individu sejak lahir. Justeru, gaya kognitif adalah satu aspek penting yang perlu diambil kira dalam proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Pengaruh gaya kognitif ini tidak dapat disangkal kerana banyak kajian yang telah membuktikan bahawa pelajar yang mempunyai gaya kognitif yang berbeza menunjukkan pencapaian yang berbeza terhadap sesuatu kaedah pengajaran. Hal ini kerana terdapat pelbagai jenis pelajar dengan gaya kognitif yang berbeza dalam sesuatu bilik darjah, maka adalah tidak mungkin satu bahan yang sama boleh digunakan untuk semua pelajar. Kertas kerja ini akan mengulas kajian-kajian yang pernah dijalankan dalam melihat pengaruh gaya kognitif terhadap pencapaian pelajar. Setiap kajian akan dibandingbezakan dari segi kaedah yang digunakan, jenis sampel, hasil kajian dan juga kesannya dalam bidang pendidikan. Rumusan yang diperoleh hasil daripada penganalisisan ini boleh dijadikan sebagai panduan dalam mereka bentuk bahan pengajaran dan seterusnya mengaplikasikan kaedah yang sesuai dalam proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran bersesuaian dengan gaya kognitif pelajar

The Intention to Enroll among Students of Private Higher Learning Institutions

Higher education hub in Malaysia has become intense in the form of competition. Private Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) has to work harder to win the competition between the education services in the marketplace. Thus, with the total numbers of Private HLI and programmes available for choice, it is a complex situation to investigate the way students select Private HLI. Due to that, it is a key issue for Private HLI owners to understand what are the determinant factors that influence the students’ intention to enroll in Private HLI. This conceptual paper discusses the influence of promotional efforts, the role of family and attitude on the intention to enroll in private HLIs. Theory of Reason Action is used as the underpinning theory for this conceptual paper. The outcome of this study from the findings will be able to assist Ministry of Education and Private HLIs on how to increase the enrolment of Private HLIs and thus to assist them on how to meet the objective of the Malaysian Education Blueprint 2015-2025

The overview of problem solving skill through online social networking platform

Problem-solving skill is one of the 21st century skills needed by students to be competitive in the future working world. However, international assessment results have shown Malaysian students are still weak in problem solving and many graduates face problems securing a job due to a lack of problem-solving skill which is highly sought after by industries. Although problem-solving skills can be learned, enhanced, studied and mastered, these skills are still not sufficiently exposed and trained to students at the moment. Realizing the huge potential of social networking sites (SNS) that may serve as a promising learning platform, this paper discusses the potential of using Facebook as an informal alternative learning tool to enhance problem-solving skills among school students. The popularity and familiarity of Facebook may attract students to participate actively in discussions and encourage peer collaborations in online social problem solving environment; hence, helping to improve students’ problem-solving skill

Flipped classroom dalam konteks Malaysia

Sistem pendidikan abad kini, iaitu pembelajaran abad ke-21 menuntut kepada pembelajaran berpusatkan pelajar. Namun demikian kajian-kajian lepas mendapati bahawa kebanyakan guru masih menggunakan pendekatan konvensional. Kaedah konvensional dilihat menyebabkan penglibatan pelajar yang kurang dalam aktiviti pembelajaran. Justeru pelajar akan berhadapan dengan kesukaran membina pengetahuan sendiri kerana ia menjurus kepada pembelajaran kurang aktif. Maka perlu ada satu kaedah pengajaran yang berupaya mengatasi permasalahan tersebut selain menepati pembelajaran terkini seperti kaedah flipped classroom. Kaedah flipped classroom merupakan salah satu pembelajaran berpusatkan pelajar yang menitikberatkan penglibatan pelajar secara aktif. Dalam konteks Malaysia, kajian berkenaan flipped classroom adalah sangat terhad terutamanya di peringkat sekolah memandangkan ia adalah antara kaedah pedagogi yang terkini. Kertas ini akan mengulas mengenai kajian-kajian lepas terhadap keberkesanan pelaksanaan kaedah flipped classroom. Kaedah flipped classroom memberi ruang dan peluang kepada pelajar untuk belajar secara kadar kendiri serta menggalakkan pembelajaran aktif. Kaedah flipped classroom juga menggunakan teknologi sebagai perantara dalam pembelajaran dan pengajaran (PdP). Analisa awal menunjukkan kaedah flipped classroom mempunyai kelebihan serta cabaran dalam pelaksanaannya namun ia berpotensi meningkatkan prestasi pencapaian pelajar

Enhancing meaningful learning in MRS120 rotational model

Enhancing student's higher order thinking skills (HOTS) through the socratic method approach with technology

Technologies have a potential to make learning more dynamic and capable of going beyond traditional learning boundaries. With the use of online technologies for example, students can interact with teachers and other students, regardless of time and distance. The learning process can also occur in synchronize or asynchronies. Meaningful interaction is needed in the Socratic method of learning because this is the concept of learning through question after question to build knowledge. The dialogue interaction, questions are either verbal or non-verbal. So this is where online technology comes into allows students to always dialogue with certain individuals to construct new knowledge. Next, by using the Socratic method of learning the high level of HOTS can be increased which is emphasized in the field of education in Malaysia nowadays. This paper will discuss previous studies about the potential of technology in engineering methods to improve student’s HOTS
