Admission list to polytechnics and community colleges out on Nov 25

By KAREN CHAPMAN

SEPANG: Students will know on Nov 25 if they have been accepted into the country's 20 polytechnics and 34 community colleges.

Higher Education Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed said the ministry had received 80,000 applications for 21,000 places in polytechnics and 4,000 in community colleges.

“Registration for all students will start on Jan 15 next year,” he said after presenting excellent service awards to staff in polytechnics and community colleges on Tuesday.

Mustapa said unsuccessful applicants have until Dec 8 to make an appeal.

There was big demand for courses in polytechnics and community colleges, he added.

There were presently 80,000 students in polytechnics and 10,000 students in community colleges nationwide, he said, adding that he hoped the number will increase to 115,000 and 25,000 respectively by 2010.

On another matter, he said the ministry's Polytechnic and Community College Education Department would establish a database on all the diploma courses offered in the country.

“With this database, we will know what diploma courses are available and we can get rid of any duplication of courses,” he said.

Students take charge

THE first thing that you notice when you walk into a computer lab of SMJK Dindings is the lack of grilles, bolts or chains.



The doors are flung wide open and anyone can walk in and out of the computer labs freely.



And most progressive of all is – no teacher supervision.“I believe that people basically can be trusted and educated. But I also believe that if the punishment is hard, swift and fast when a rule is broken, people will tow the line,” says SMJK Dindings principal Tiong Ting Ming.



Discipline is the rule at the school and that includes computer usage and Internet etiquette.

He says that he begins with instilling discipline in students.

“They must abide by the school rules – be on good behaviour, dress smartly, and keep the schools clean and orderly. When that is instilled, discipline in other areas comes naturally.”

Tiong is not one to mince his words and his students know that.

Those who are caught visiting violent or pornographic websites are given public caning at the school’s assembly.

A cyber hub by the sea

Tiong says at the end of the day it is down to the question of need.

“Students know that they will forfeit their right to use the computers if they are caught doing what they are not allowed to in the labs, so they don’t try anything,” he adds.

Pasted on notice boards all around the school and inside the labs, the rules are few and clear, including no sharing of password or user account and no wastage of ICT resources and no computer games.

The open policy at the humble small town school seems to work.

At Dindings, students and teachers have easy access to ICT facilities with its flexible opening hours including on weekends or during holidays.

Along with the unlimited access to the Internet, they are also provided with printing facilities. There is no limit for computer use in the school but students are expected to log off after an hour if the labs are crowded.

SMJK Dindings also has the honour of being the only non-technical secondary school offering the specialised Fundamentals of Programming subject for Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM).

High-tech road

The school’s high-tech journey began when Tiong became its principal in 1991.The dropout rate was high and to persuade students to stay in school, Tiong introduced ICT courses.



With initiative, enthusiasm and hard work, the semi-government school managed to equip itself with ICT facilities.

Tiong's friends in technology firms donated second-hand equipment, which he and his students repaired during their spare time.

The beginning, he admitted, was difficult with a lot of teachers and students resisting change.

After raising RM470,000 through various contributions in 1993, the school constructed its new building wired with the latest high-speed Internet connections.

Now, there are about 130 computers – in five computer labs, the library, staff room and even in the classrooms. With the expanded infrastructure, Tiong set up a team of computer prefects or cyber brigade.

They got the support of IT company Microsoft and the Education Ministry, and students are provided training to repair and maintain ICT facilities.

Duties include maintaining and upgrading the ICT facilities as well as repairing the hardware.

Form Four cyber brigadiers Yee Yin San and Ho Zi Ling say the training they received has been very useful.

“Sometimes, when our own computers break down we can repair it ourselves,” says Yee.

Proud of his team of “helpers”, Tiong says it all depends on how students are treated.

“I entrust them to manage and maintain the school’s ICT facilities and students take charge. I don’t rely on the teachers. Everything is done by the students.”

Free access

Still, a filtering software is installed to track students’ Internet outings. The “Squidguard” blocking specific websites deem undesirable.

“You can't be 100% thorough but if students break the rules too often, we'll catch them.

“Students can go on the Internet to search for information on what they like such as music and movie, mobile phones and cars.

“They also love to download and share those files; indirectly they are learning to communicate and how to conduct research on the Internet,” he says.

Chatting is allowed but certain networking websites like MySpace and YOUTube are blocked during the exam period.

He adds that although there are educational games, most students play only “shooting” games.

“It is important to create the right ICT culture in the school. If we allow students to play online games, the labs will become game houses and neither we, nor the parents, want that.”

The printer log files and quota system effectively control printer usage while the centralised virus scanning and spam control filter out the viruses and spam mails.

The wired and wireless CCTV system at strategic locations records the people accessing the ICT facilities and help guard the ICT equipment.

Tiong admits that even with the availability of computers, some students still visit cybercafes.

“I believe a very small percentage of them go to cybercafés to play games or surf pornographic sites and not to do their homework. Most of them will come to school to use the computers and Internet facilities anyway.”

He feels that stricter regulations on the licensing of cybercafes will not affect his students.

“It is not cheap to use Internet and ICT facilities in cybercafés. In school, the ICT facilities and lessons are readily available, all for only RM12 a month.

“As far as my school is concerned, stricter regulations will actually drive more students back to school.”

Lauding the government’s move to set up cybercafes in schools, he nonetheless feels that it will depend on how well the schools manage the easy access to ICT facilities.

“The easy access to ICT facilities, the Internet proxy and tracking policy, the monitoring of ICT usage and the safety of ICT equipment will determine the failure or the success of the plan to set up the cybercafés in school.

“For my school, I am confident enough to let the students use the ICT faculties without adult supervision during school hours because the monitoring and tracking system is reliable and the rules and regulations effective,” he adds.

Not for schoolwork only

By HARIATI AZIZAN

LUIIS is CENTRE of ATTENTION – Male, 18-years-old, from down south, Texas, United States pops up on the big screen in the front of the computer lab of SMK Sri Permata in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.



“That is mine,” exclaims Amir (not his real name) pointing to the big screen.His monitor screen has been flashed on the large screen for all to see but instead of quickly clicking off, he simply continues to browse the other profiles on MySpace.



Like most teens around the world, Amir is caught up in the MySpace craze. He spends at least 20 minutes a day visiting the social networking website to see if he has made any new friends. Unlike most teens though, Amir does all this in school.

The latest football results pop up on the big screen next which soon morphed into a “world” from the webgame Utopia.

It is recess time at Sri Permata and the computer lab at the school is full of Form One and Form Two students checking emails, chatting online, playing games or just surfing the internet.

While most schools keep their computer facilities secure under locks, at Sri Permata, the school computer lab is an open avenue for students to hone their information and communication technology (ICT) skills.

Making IT accessible

According to the Education Ministry’s Educational Technology Division (BTP) the effectiveness of the ministry’s programmes in making teachers and students ICT savvy depends not only on how well the school is equipped but also the extent of usage of the infrastructure provided.

As reported recently, apart from schools without electricity supply in rural areas, all others have been installed with ICT infrastructure. The usage, however, is still below the ministry’s target.

According to World Bank standards, any facility should have 70% utilisation to be effective, says BTP director Datuk Yusoff Harun.

He says his division has received reports that many schools restrict computer usage due to various problems such as teacher shortage, lack of technical support and funding for maintenance.

They have received reports of schools keeping their labs locked all the time, he adds, and BTP’s job is to investigate and ensure that they provide more access to students and teachers, in line with the ministry’s Making Schools Smart programme.

This programme is aimed at creating an ICT culture in school where all students and teachers use ICT in their learning and teaching respectively.

“We have been tasked to monitor and collect data of computer usage in schools. Based on the data, we categorise the schools into grades - A to E - depending on the percentage of usage.

“For example, to be in Grade A, all teachers in the school need to use the computer in all their lessons while schools that have ICT facilities but are not using it at all (have a 0% usage) will be graded E,” he adds.

At Sri Permata, the computer lab is a popular hangout. Opened during school hours, recess time is its peak period, and the computer lab is often so full that students have to be turned away.

In fact, the computer lab is so popular among students that even students from the morning session are staying back after school to use the computers to finish their homework or surf the Internet.

Students are charged a fee of RM1.50 an hour to surf the Internet.

To help maintain the computer lab, the school charges students a minimum annual fee of RM70.

“The fees are used to pay for software licences, files, printing materials, diskettes, the Internet connection as well as lab maintenance,” says Chua Siwe Geck, the teacher in charge of the school’s ICT programme Komputer Dalam Pendidikan (KDP).

“Our students know we are monitoring what they are doing online and that we check on them all the time, so they do not misuse the computer,” she says.

Using an LCD system, the screens from students’ PC are randomly flashed in front of the class for 10 seconds.

This, stresses Chua, keeps the students in check.

“We don’t want to enforce a schoolwork only rule on the students when they use the computer because they need to take a break from class work sometimes and by using the computer they get to apply their IT skills,” adds Chua.

Interestingly, Internet games are allowed for students.

“I think we should not control the child because sometimes we adults also love to play games.

“The school enforces certain rules such as no visiting of pornographic or violent websites,” says Chua.

Students are asked to sign an agreement letter to abide by the rules.

“It’s like a Surat Akujanji and so far we have not had any problems,” she explains.

The right support

While most schools had to rely on donations from corporations in the IT industry or handouts from the Government, Sri Permata has its proactive Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) to thank for its computer programme.

The PTA sponsored RM80,000 to set up the computer lab in 2000.

As soon as the computer lab was ready, the school started its computer literacy classes for its Forms One and Two students.

Access to Internet has further honed their research, and information management skills.

Six years on, the computer programme is running independently. The hardware is upgraded every two years and for security, the computer lab is wired with an alarm.

However, says Chua, theft or robbery is the last thing she needs to worry about.

She attributes the smooth running of the computer programme to the teachers in her team working in the school computer lab.

“There are four teachers and one non-teaching staff. The teachers sacrifice their free time and recess time to make sure the students have the best at the computer lab,” she says.

There are now 40 PCs but the school hopes to set up a proper cybercafé in the school soon so that students can get more access to the Internet. Now, the computer lab is also used for the school’s IT classes and for other subjects.

“We have the room, but we need to raise more money to get the room ready,” she says.

A safe platform

Still, with all the access to Internet in school, Chua admits that students still go out to cybercafes to go online, as not all the students have Internet access at home.

“I’d say only about 50% of the students have Internet access at home.” She adds that she avoids giving them too much work using the computer or Internet because she is afraid they will use that as an excuse to go to the cybercafe.

“They will tell their parents that the teacher has given them work and they have to go to the cybercafe to finish it.

“We tried to open on weekends but there were many constraints.

“We are also afraid that if we open, students may tell parents that they are coming to school but then they go somewhere else,” she opines.

She believes most parents are not aware of what their children are up to on the net simply because they are not as savvy.

“Sometimes I joke about holding a workshop for parents. You should see how many start panicking – ‘No! don’t teacher - they’ll shout’,” she says with a laugh.

Chua fully supports the government’s plans to curb cybercafes. She says she is aware that sometimes even those who have Internet connection at home prefer to go to cybercafes to get more freedom online, away from their parents’ eagle eyes.

That is why they hope to get their cybercafé hooked up soon, she says. “At least in school, they are monitored.”

How Do Adults LEarn

Pagi tadi sewaktu online terjumpa satu artikel ni..menarik..kat http://khaleely.multiply.com/reviews/item/11.

How Do Adults LEarn

The misunderstood trainer
“The trainer was lousy. He did not know the topic well enough to conduct the training. He was there to form us into groups and merely listened in to our presentations. We did most of the discussions, ourselves. We learned more from among ourselves than from the trainer.”

Sounds familiar? You bet. That was the reply given by Ivy, a young and brainy executive, when I asked her how her last training went. She had joined one of the Government Ministries fresh from University with a degree. After going through several years of education, she thought she knew how a training course ought to be conducted.

Sorry Chum. No More Spoon-feeding. Starting From Now!
Ivy’s experience was one of disappointment. Brought up on a strict diet of educational spoon-feeding, the many learning points raised during the training were lost on her. Instead, there was anger and resentment - misplaced anger and resentment as it turned out.

Ivy’s comment is typical of many executives who do not understand the real nature of adult training. Many graduates fresh on their first job (and even some who have been considerably longer in their jobs) expect that the training that their employers send them to, to be no different from the education that they had received at schools and universities. To most of them, a training course is essentially a session for the acquisition of knowledge. (Wrong! They might as well pick up and read a book. But then with that kind of educational focus will they ever pick up a book? They might as well ask: Where ‘s the ten-year series of past questions and answers?). They think as participants their role is to sit back, grab the notes provided. Then, during the lecture, they make even more copious hand-written notes of the magical pronouncements from the mouth of the trainer. Moreover, like university professors, the trainer is expected to speak and lecture on the topic for the entire duration of the training, which could last for 2 to 3 days, or even longer. The trainer is the expert and the participants are the sponges that soak up the new knowledge. When asked to make comments or to raise questions, they give an averted glazy look, practiced to a fine art, just like in the old days during lectures and tutorials. When asked to participate in a discussion or a role-play they shrink in their seats and volunteer each other up. They have gotten too stuck in passive learning especially on educational topics that have totally no relevance to real life.

Unfortunately, Adult Education Isn’t Like That. Time To Wake Up. Participants Have To Move Their Bodies!
The misunderstanding on the role of the trainer and adult education has stood in the way of effective acquisition of new knowledge, skills and attitudes at the workplace. Participants’ resentment directed at the trainer may somewhat detract them from fully appreciating the real value of the training. Like avoiding the message because they don’t particularly like the messenger.

This is of particular concern to Human Resource Development specialists because of the potential loss in the training investment. In the United States alone, it’s estimated that more than US$60 billion is spent annually on training in and by organisations, particularly management training. Pfeffer and Sutton in their book The Knowing-Doing Gap: How Smart Companies Turn Knowledge into Action came to the disturbing conclusion that regardless of the quality of the content, the delivery or the frequency of repetition management education is often ineffective in changing management practices. In one of their investigations, they studied 120 units of a restaurant chain and found a big gap between what the managers know to be successful practices (things that ought to be done) and what they actually do. Hence the title of their book: The Knowing–Doing Gap. We know that knowing isn’t enough. It is what we do with what we know – that’s what’s important.

So the million-dollar question is: How do we get people to apply what they learnt at such management education and training back to their office and shop floor? Part of the answer must lies in how adults are motivated to learn and how they relate what they have learnt to their own individual experiences.

Once There Was Pedagogy
Believe it or not, mass and structured adult training - as we know it now - was only started in the later part of the nineteenth century, barely 100 years ago. Its mode of operation was based on the only model of instruction available: pedagogy (derived from the Greek "pede" meaning "child" and "agogus" meaning "leader" i.e. the art and science of teaching children). You guessed it: Adults were taught as if they were children. Training classes were organised along the lines and concepts of the school. Instruction was essentially didactic. This simply meant that the trainers were regarded as the experts, the gurus, the masters, brimming with wisdom and knowledge. And the participants were just empty vessels into whom knowledge and wisdom were to be poured into. You can just imagine class after class in buildings where adults were seated in rows and rows of tables and lectured to for long and boring hours.

Then Came Andragogy (Education of Adults)
It didn’t take too long before people in the business of training adults became dissatisfied with this approach. Researchers such as Tough, Linderman, Penland and others discovered that:

in learning, adults didn’t behave as grown-up children,
adults learn best when they were consulted and actively involved in determining what, how, and when they learned.
From these studies, came a new teaching model – andragogy ("andro" meaning "adult") as an alternative to pedagogy. These developments culminated in a landmark article by Malcolm Knowles on Adult Learning. In the article, he said that adults can be highly effective and efficient learners if the following six specific concerns are addressed. They are:

(1) Adults have a need to know why they should learn something

With his responsibility in earning a living and raising a family, many things cry for the attention of the adult. Before embarking on any field of study, he will want to know the answers to the following questions:

“What’s in it for me?”

“What do I really stand to lose if I don’t learn this particular skill?”

He needs to be convinced (definitely much more than a child) that the time and effort learning the new skill is worth sacrificing for.

(2)Adults have a deep need to be self-directing

Adults have a strong self-concept of wanting to be in charge of their lives. He wants to make decisions that will affect the quality of his life. He doesn't readily accept the decision of others.

(3) Adults have more and varied experience than youth

Unlike a child, an adult has many years of experience. An adult’s experiences make the person that he is. These experiences have been valuable in making who he is and he wants his experience to verify and validate the new learnings. In other words, the more the new learnings make sense of his experiences the more acceptable and durable will the new learning be. It’s his way of making sense of the world he lives in.

(4) Adults become ready to learn when they experience in their life situation a need to know or be able to do in order to perform more effectively and satisfyingly.

This is just another aspect of concern no. 1. It contrasts sharply to the pedagogy model which assumes that people are ready to learn when decided by some authority figure (the teacher, the boss etc); that they have to learn a topic or a subject simply because it is deemed good for them.

On the other hand, adults learn best when they can see how the skill will help them in their lives and in their work and they voluntarily choose to learn. To be forced to learn will only create resentment and resistance to acquisition of the new skills.

(5) Adults enter into a learning experience with a task-centred, (or problem-centred or life-centred) orientation to learning.

When adults enter the training room they will be asking questions such as:

“How will this new skill help me to solve my immediate problems?”

"How will it enhance the quality of my life?”

From these questions, it’s obvious that adults are looking for the applicability and relevance of the training to their problems, their tasks and ultimately their lives.

Children, in contrast, have a subject-centred orientation to learning. Their foremost thought is

“I really want to learn this subject so that I will get good grades.”

It’s all about grades isn’t it? Yes, we all know good grades matters. To a child, applicability and relevance of what they learn to their life is

a secondary issue. That can wait when they grow into adulthood. We can almost hear their deep-seated rationale: “We heard that 99% of people who studied calculus in school never have the chance to apply it in their lives. But who cares so long as we score an A in the subject?”

(6) Adults are motivated to learn by both extrinsic and intrinsic motivators

The pedagogy model assumes that children are motivated to learn by extrinsic factors (good grades, parental approval, a new toy, getting that diploma or degree). Learning a subject just for the sheer of joy of it seems a strange concept.

To be sure, adults are also motivated by extrinsic factors (wage increase, recognition, promotion, etc). But the most potent motivators are intrinsic (self-esteem, growth, broader responsibilities, power, achievements).

Well, I Now Know The 6 Concerns In Adult Training. But What’s The Practical Lesson?

There are many practical lessons that can be drawn from these empirical studies by management, the Training Dept and the individual participant himself. These applications include:

· how the Training Dept is to be structured;

· how training courses are designed;

· how participants are selected for a training;

· how to prepare participants who are going for a training;

· in undertaking a training needs analysis,

. in inculcating the spirit of learning in the organization (now popularly subsume under the theme of the learning organization).

These are topics for future articles. What I want to drive at is this. Whether you’re a participant in a future training or whether you’re the management that will sponsor a training workshop or whether you’re in charge of a Training Dept your primary concern is essentially the same: how do you ensure the transfer of learning from the training room to the workplace?

Fortunately, the situation is not as hopeless as it seems. Pfeffer and Sutton in their book came to the following conclusions “… one of the most important insights from our research is that knowledge that is actually implemented is much more likely to be acquired from learning by doing than from learning from reading, listening or even thinking.” This simply means that during a training course, just make sure that the participants are doing something; the closer the doing relates to the learning the more effective is the training. Not just sit back and try to absorb the learning.

Are their studies new and earth shattering? Not by a long shot. Confucius as long ago as 200 BC summed it up all in his sayings:

What I hear, I forget

What I see, I remember

But what I do, I understand

To this, I would like to add the following:

What I contribute to the training, I own.

So the next time you are at a training workshop and the trainer asks for volunteers to do a demo or a role play or join a discussion group, don’t be surprised if your hand unconsciously shoots up.

Selamat kembali Bekerja....

Masih terasa suasana hari raya. kerja-kerja-kerja...ni lah yang dikatakan Monday Morning Test. Kalau rasa x bersemangat nak gi kerja camne nak jadi macam Donald Trump. hehehe...Saya merasa gembira untuk datang bekerja selepas cuti panjang. Berjumpa sahabat semula terasa seperti angin segar yang memberi semangat untuk bekerja lebih kuat. Masuk kelas 2E ..mmm tengok pelajar yang hanya seramai 18 orang daripada sepatutnya 39 orang...ajar diorang menghafal sifir...
.bagi motivasi skit...lepas tu gi makmal sebab ada prob dengan ISIS..

Masih terdapat 3 minggu lagi sebelum cuti final...banyak kerja menanda yang di settlekan..

Selamat Bercuti dan Berhari Raya.

Khamis Minggu 1

Saya agak lewat bertolak dari rumah untk ke sekolah hari ini. Seteleah menonton perlawanan bola antara perancis dan portugal, saya mula merasakan ia sepatutnya saya beli dari awal lagi. sampai pun agak lewat dan mendapati kelas ganti yang sebanyak 7 wow...tak sangka lak hari ni bertambah lagi relief

Rabu Minggu Pertama

kelas ganti sepanjang hari...saya terpaksa menerima hakikat ini adalh yang saya perlu terima untuk 6 bulan yang mendatang. Saya perlu enjoy di sekolah ini..mencari peranan yang boleh saya mainkan di sekolah. Saya percaya untuk melakukan sesuatu yang saya amat hampir iaiut mengajar komputer disekolah. Saya berjumpa dengan ramai org yang ingin mengambil kesempatan dan melepaskan perasaan kepada saya.

Hari ni saya telah banguna awal dan semalam wow...saya telah membeli tv panasonic untuk isteri saya yang saya cintai. saya faham bahawa beliau agak boring berada di rumah..

Hari Selasa

Bertolak lewat skit sebab bangun lambat tetapi boleh sampai gak tepat. Laju gak bawa keta supaya sampai...agak busy kat merlimau..banyak keta. Sampai kat sekolah ,lepas daftar terus mendapat kelas relief yang banyak tu.. ok la...
Tengok kelas pertama jam 830 pagi..jadi gi minum dulu kat kantin untk alas perut. Kelas form 3 ganti cikgi sains diorang yang MC. aku Berbual ngan ustaz kat kantin.
Makan ringan jer ari ni sebab nak cepat. tgk la lepas klas nanti baru makan tengahari.
kelas yang aku masuk pun agak busy buat kerja geografi.

Hari Pertama

Setelah setahun berada di maktab perguruan, kini saya kembali mengajar di sekolah. Walaupun sekolah yang saya dapat ini agak jauh dari sekolah saya yang sebelum ini, saya redha. Mungkin ini adalah peluang saya untuk memperbaiki diri dan melihat semula peranan yang boleh dimainkan di dalam satu organisasi.
Saya terpaksa menghantar kedua-dua nak saya lebih awal ke Taska di Merlimau. Saya amat sedih melihat keadaan ini tetapi mungkin ini adalah pengorbanan yang terpaksa dilakukan. Bertolak dari rumah dalam jam 650 pagi dan sampai di Taska pada jam 720. Berkejar pula ke sekolah dan sampai tepat jam 730 pagi.

Terus kepejabat dan diarahkan untuk pergi ke perhimpunan pagi. Tak sangka pula berjumpa dengan cikgu Foadi yang mengajar Matematik saya sewaktu sekolah diSTJ dulu. Bangganya tidak terhingga.

Jumpa balik rakan smkdary yang sombong-sombong....mmm biasa la tu. nakbuat apa..
Selepas perhimpunan berjumpa dengan puan hajah maimun untuk minta buku rekod mengajar dan taqwim sekolah.

Persepsi pertama, ini adalh sekolah yang berfungsi sepenuhnya..amat efisyen dan saya berasa berbangga teribat dengan sekolah ini.

Minggu ni mungkin belum dapat lagi jadual waktu mengajar...mungkin kene relief kelas dengan jumlah yang banyak...saya faham...biasa la tu..
