Saya bukan pro-kerajaan. Tapi, the government is trying very hard to please the Malaysian. For me, pada pandangan mata kasar saya, if Malaysians are willing to work hand-in-hand with the government, impian kerajaan and impian Malaysians mungkin jadi kenyataan.

The government is being very concerned with the problems of education in Malaysia. Basically, the Pelan Hala Tuju Program Transformasi Kerajaan (GTP) is indeed a brilliant idea. Hurm. Renung-renungkanlah:



Ada orang lain pernah kisah pasal mereka yang 'lemah': 


Luang masa dan fikirlah.


Yang salah bukan kerajaan. Again, jum rujuk sistem pendidikan Malaysia:

Rukun Negara:
: Belief in God

Falsafah Pendidikan Negara:
: memperkembang potensi individu secara menyeluruh dan bersepadu ... berdasarkan dan kepatuhan kepada Tuhan.

Lain? Pelan Induk Pembangunan Pendidikan 2006-2010 and Wawasan 2020 pon review pasal kepentingan ketuhanan. Jadi kegagalan menerapkan component ketuhanan dalam kelas dan sistem pendidikan adalah bukan salah kerajaan. Jadi salah siapa sebenarnya? 

Hurm.

Parking Lot

Parking Lot has been considered as one of the best practices in the 21st century classrooms besides the famous group seating arrangement. In Malaysian public schools especially in Sekolah Amanah, it is a mandatory  to prepare a space or an area in the class to put up a Parking Lot. Per contra , to date, teachers are having a lack of proper guidance on the use of Parking Lot as a consequence of  the non-existence of a blueprint or a printed guide from any Malaysian education departments on this practice . Worst, the knowledge of Parking Lot is succinctly dismantle to teachers while they are having courses on 21st century classroom or learning, during Professional Learning Communities (PLC) sessions or during department meetings. It is through these short sessions or meet-ups that Malaysian teachers are made aware of the benefits of Parking Lot. Even the practice could benefit both teacher and students, the lack of understanding on the practice  results failur...

Use Malay (L1) instead of English (L2) in English Lessons?

The debate on the use of L1 in L2 lessons has been going on since forever. Different scholars come out with different theories and hypotheses yet no one theory or hypothesis has become the most significant. After all, it all depends on the teaching context. The use of L1 has always been a contentious issue. Teachers have choices whether to: ban L1; minimise L1; or maximise L2. Again, it all depends on the context the teachers are in. It is best to also mention that even so, teachers who resort to the L1, despite their best intentions, often feel guilty for straying from L2 path (Cook, 2001). However now, let's not talk about teacher's use of L1.  Let's look at student's use of L1 in L2 lessons.  Should we ban the use of L1 among students in L2 lessons? If not, why are there a lot of suggestions given to cut or limit the use of L1 in L2 lessons? I remember when I once made it a rule that students should only talk to me...

Nadia Anjuman

What should I do with a broken wing Which does not let me fly? I have been silent too long, But I never forget the melody. Since every moment I whisper, The song from my heart. Reminding myself of the day, I will break free of this cage. By from this solitude, And sing with abandon. I am not a weak tree, To be shaken by any wind. I am an Afghan woman, It only makes sense to cry. Nadia Anjuman was a talented Afghani poet who was beaten to death by her husband at the age of 25.  Al-Fatihah.
