Basic Teaching and Learning KAP 2011

Salam 1 Malaysia. As has been mentioned in previous posts, I have attended a course of Basic Teaching and Learning KAP 2011. Therefore, I would like to share some stories about this course and pictures that I took. This course is really interesting things in which all participants have been exposed to effective teaching in the class. This course is held over five days starting June 21, 2011 until June 25, 2011 at ILQAM UiTM. The participants are new lecturers who have teaching experience mostly under 5 years.

Speakers involved in this course are:

1. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Syed Jamal Abdul Nasir (i-Learn)
2. Mr. Suthagar AL Narasuman (ILQAM)
3. Prof. Dr. Abu Bakar Ibrahim (EDU)
4. Mdm. Lim Wai Fun (EDU)
5. Prof. Dr. Syed Noh Syed Ahmad (FACT)
6. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jaafar Jantan or Dr. JJ (FSG)
7. Prof. Dr. Hadariah Bahron (HEA)
8. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Faizah Majid (EDU)
9. Dr. Noor Hanim Rahmat (EDU)
10. Ms Rosalind Xaviour Thambusamy (EDU)

Various topics were discussed such as Reflective Teaching, Dialogical Teaching and Approaches to Teaching. As we know, in 21st century, teaching method has been change from traditional method (lecture) to interactive teaching (discussion and student centered). Thus, this is the best way to give exposure to new lecturers whereby can be applied in classroom for their students. With all humility, I think this course an important though it is necessary to the new lecturer because it is one of the criteria to be confirmed. The last day in this course, all participants are needed to do mock teaching which is they have to apply all the elements that been taught to them.
