Should Students be allowed to use phones in High Schools?

The number of mobile phone users across the globe has increased significantly over just the last few years that includes a large number of younger generation, as well. In most of the schools, phones are not allowed and also most of the people think that it has a lot of disadvantages as it causes a lot of disturbance. However, many of them have policies against students taking their cell phones out of their backpacks during the day or even bringing them to school at all.

According to Education Ministry, it is time to let students bring their devices to the classrooms but there must be regulations to prevent the privilege from being abused but with strict guidelines on usage to prevent issues that could arise from such a move.

“There must be guidelines to ensure that students are disciplined and responsible in their use of smartphones in schools”

Datin Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim (Parent Action Group for Education Malaysia)

She said, online learning should be used to supplement lessons and mobile phones should be encouraged in schools, more so now that students are comfortable with online learning, she added. This is because, as we evolve with technology, there is a need to use mobile phones for education and allowing mobile phones will make it easier for parents to communicate with their children now that schools have reopened. Therefore, the Ministry will have to ensure accessibility for all students including B40 students if a decision is made to allow mobile phones in school.

Although students may misuse their devices and cause distractions during lessons, the devices are beneficial if used to facilitate learning

What are the benefits?

They should be allowed because it can be used for educational related tasks like calculator, searching up information or taking notes when the students forget their notebook. As we all know, mobile phones has calendar apps, clocks, alarms, and reminders that students can use to help them stay more organized. These tools can help them keep track of their homework to make sure they’re not late to class, and plan out their study time efficiently. However, teachers should limit the usage of it, like during lessons and only to use during phones work time. Definitely not during examination time!

We are living in the twenty first century, people have to recognize that we are getting more into technology and getting rid of paper and pencil. Electronics are moving there way into our lives and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. When students are able to use their mobile phones in class, they’ll have access to technology. This can be especially beneficial in classrooms that don’t have enough tablets or computers for each student. Students can use their cell phones to conduct research, answering classroom polling questions, or even type their responses to questions or essays.

Next, students should be able to have their cell phones with them in the event there is an emergency at school. This will allow them to contact their parents. Many students walk home alone or stay after school for a club, and may need to get in touch with their parents or emergency services. Without a phone, this won’t be easy.

In addition to using their mobile phones to communicate with their parents and friends, students can also use their cell phones to communicate with their teachers. This can allow students to share feedback and questions with teachers easily and receive answers whenever the teacher has time. If the teacher doesn’t have time to read a student’s question until after the school day, the student could see the reply immediately, rather than waiting until the next day.
Also, many e-books and necessary course materials are available online. If students are able to use access these materials through their phones, it can allow schools to save money by not purchasing materials they otherwise would need to. Teachers can also share many documents digitally and cut down on printing and copying costs. This can teach students in saving money by cutting down on the number of print resources. Students will have a positive impact towards the environment by learning to do less printing, copying, using less paper, ink, power, and other resources.

As a result, these will prepare students for the future. Allowing students to use their cell phone and increase their proficiency with technology can help prepare them for a future career and teaching them proper mobile phone etiquette. For example, students can learn when it is and is not OK to use their phones in different contexts and how to look up to show respect when someone is speaking to them. Without this practice in school, students may not be prepared to interact with their phones and others properly in the future.

Ideas How Mobile Phones Can Be Used Effectively in the Classroom

There is a multitude of educational apps out there designed for students of all ages and all subject areas. Choosing a few of these apps to use to give your students extra practice on a skill or target a specific area of need can be quite beneficial. Like Pandai, we equipped our students will all subjects with experienced tutor that can provide them with digital feedback or additional questions to consider.

Teachers can also have the students answer polling questions through their phones to assess their understanding of a given topic. These questions may be written as true/false, multiple-choice, or short answers. There are many different programs and websites that can create quizzes and surveys for your students. Worry not, Pandai has a new feature called Quiz Battle that allow students to battle with their friends and win various rewards!

In short, using technology in class is definitely a yes. There’s so much more you can do when using things like mobile phone and other electronic devices. Sometimes students will be off task but they will still get there work done.

Over all phones should be allowed in schools for educational reasons

Spaced Repetition: Tips to Remember Everything You Learn

Before learning about spaced repetition systems, it’s important to understand how our brains work. In order for us to retain any information in our brain, we have to refresh it periodically with specific time intervals. So, this method spaced repetition will help students to remember what they learn. Its fantastic to see the result!

What Is Spaced Repetition?

Spaced repetition sounds complicated but all it is is the process of
spacing out when you revise
. If you learn about the pumping system of the heart one day, then the next day you should revisit it, then one week after that, then the week after that.

When something is learned
you start forgetting it straight away
. Initially you forget it very quickly, however, if you revive/recall the information the next day, your level of forgetfulness decreases. In other meaning, spaced repetition is where you space out your study sessions at increasing intervals. For example, studying on day 1, day 7 and then day 30.

So, now, after you getting to know
what is Spaced Repetition
, you have to deal,
how to use it, right? How it works?

Check it out here:
How to Use Spaced Repetition for Effective Learning?

Having a schedule is one thing, but then it’s a matter of using it and retaining information. Also, if a schedule is too complicated for you, this 4-step method is easy to get into and should yield similar results.

1. Review Your Notes

Within 20-24 hours of the initial intake of information, make sure the information is written down in notes and that you have reviewed them for short term retention. During the reviewing session, you want to read them, but then look away and try to recall the most important points.

Remember, there is a difference between rereading and recalling, so be certain you look away and pull from your memories.

2. Recall the Information for the First Time

After a day, try to recall the information without using any of your notes as much. Try recalling when you’re taking a walk or sitting down and relaxing.

You can also increase your efficiency by creating flashcards of the main ideas and quizzing yourself on the concepts.

3. Recall the Material Again

After that, recall the material every 24-36 hours over the course of several days. They don’t have to be lengthy study sessions. Try a recall session when you’re standing in an elevator or waiting in line. You are still free to look at your notes or flashcards, but try recalling while working with those notes.The idea with this step is to ask yourself questions and to quiz yourself in order to retain and recall this information in your long-term memory.

4. Study It All Over Again

After several days have passed, take out your material and study it all over again. If this information is for a test, make sure that this is done within a week before the test. This allows your brain to reprocess concepts.

Students sitting for major exams to continue with home learning in Phase 2 of NRP

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The teaching and learning sessions for students who are sitting for major examinations in the five states that are transitioning into Phase Two of the National Recovery Plan (NRP) starting on Monday (July 5) will continue to be conducted via the home-based teaching and learning (PdPR) approach until the mid-term break.

The mid-term break for states in Group A will begin on July 16 and July 17 for states in Group B.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) in a statement on Sunday (July 4) said the announcement on school reopening for the next term slated for July 25 would be made at least a week before.

“Based on the standard operating procedures (SOP) set by the National Security Council (NSC) for Phase Two NRP, face-to-face learning sessions are allowed for students sitting for examinations only.

“However, the MOE School Calendar for 2021 will remain as announced by Senior Education Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Radzi Jidin at a press conference on June 6,” read the statement.

During the press conference, Radzi said the PdPR would be implemented for 25 school days starting June 13 and 14 according to the respective groups until the mid-term break.

On Saturday (July 3), Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that Perlis, Kelantan, Perak, Pahang and Terengganu would move to Phase Two of the NRP starting Monday.

He said this decision was made based on the threshold values achieved by these states.

The three indicators for transition into the second phase are the national daily average Covid-19 cases must drop below 4,000, the utilisation of beds in the intensive care unit (ICU) should be at a moderate level and at least 10 per cent of the population should be fully vaccinated.-

Takwim Persekolahan Sesi 2023/2024 Bermula 19 Mac ini

KPM memaklumkan ketetapan untuk menangguhkan pembukaan sekolah bagi sesi persekolahan Kalendar Akademik Sesi 2023/2024 yang dijadualkan bermula pada 12 Mac 2023 bagi Kumpulan A dan 13 Mac 2023 untuk Kumpulan B itu bertujuan supaya pengoperasian peperiksaan Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) dapat dilaksanakan dengan lancar.

Makluman ini penting bagi ibu bapa, penjaga, pelajar dan juga guru sebagai peringatan tentang tarikh rasmi pembukaan sekolah sesi 2023 seluruh negeri di Malaysia. Pelbagai persediaan perlu dilakukan oleh semua pihak terutamanya ibu bapa dalam memastikan anak-anak menghadiri persekolahan dalam keadaan yang lengkap dan teratur.

Selain daripada itu, Datuk Dr. Radzi Jidin juga mengumumkan Murid Tahun 1 bagi persekolahan 2022 akan ke sekolah bermula Mac 2022. Pelajar dibenarkan untuk memakai pakaian yang sesuai, kemas dan sopan jika pakaian seragam sekolah tidak sesuai dipakai ketidak hadiran pelajar ke sekolah tidak dianggap kesalahan disiplin jika ibu bapa bimbang keselamatan pelajar tetapi perlu memberikan makluman dengan surat kepada pihak guru atau sekolah.

“Kalendar Akademik akan dikekalkan untuk memastikan KPM mematuhi Peraturan Pendidikan bahawa jumlah hari persekolahan dalam kalendar akademik hendaklah tidak kurang daripada 190 hari“

Tambahan lagi, KPM juga mengambil kira pelbagai pandangan yang diterima daripada pemegang taruh untuk mengelakkan peperiksaan Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) diadakan pada November dan Disember kerana bertembung dengan musim tengkujuh.

Walau bagaimanapun, KPM sentiasa melihat kepada keperluan dan kesesuaian penyediaan kalendar akademik untuk tahun seterusnya bagi memastikan proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran dapat dilaksanakan secara optimum.

Tarikh operasi institusi pendidikan ikut fasa baharu PPN

KUALA LUMPUR: Susulan beberapa negeri catat peralihan fasa Pelan Pemulihan Negara (PPN) hari ini, pembukaan institusi pendidikan di bawah Kementerian Pendidikan (KPM) akan dilaksana mengikut ketetapan fasa baharu, selepas dua minggu tarikh peralihan fasa.

Berikutan ketetapan itu, semua institusi pendidikan di bawah KPM di Johor akan dibuka bermula 10 Oktober depan berdasarkan pengoperasian bagi negeri Fasa 2 Pelan Pemulihan Negara (PPN).

Sekolah di Pahang pula kekal dibuka pada 4 Oktober, berdasarkan ketetapan pengoperasian bagi negeri Fasa 2 PPN dan beralih mengikut ketetapan Fasa 3 PPN bermula 11 Oktober depan, berikutan negeri itu beralih ke Fasa 3, hari ini.

“Bagi Negeri Sembilan, pembukaan institusi pendidikan bawah KPM kekal pada 4 Oktober 2021 berdasarkan ketetapan pengoperasian institusi pendidikan bagi negeri Fasa 3 PPN.

“Bagaimanapun, berikutan Negeri Sembilan beralih ke Fasa 4 pada hari ini, pengoperasian institusi pendidikan di Negeri Sembilan berdasarkan Fasa 4 PPN akan bermula pada 18 Oktober depan,” kata kenyataan itu, hari ini.

Tarikh pembukaan institusi pendidikan KPM itu dibuat dengan mengambil kira pengumuman Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob pada Rabu, berkaitan peralihan fasa PPN bagi Johor, Pahang dan Negeri Sembilan berkuat kuasa hari ini.

KPM menetapkan, jika sesebuah negeri beralih ke fasa seterusnya, pengoperasian institusi pendidikannya mengikut ketetapan fasa baharu akan dilaksanakan selepas dua minggu dari tarikh peralihan ke fasa berkenaan.

Kenyataan KPM memaklumkan, Majlis Keselamatan Negara (MKN) juga memberi kelulusan untuk pelajar Tingkatan 6 Semester 2 dan kelas peperiksaan antarabangsa (IGCSE O-Level) di negeri Fasa 1 hadir ke institusi pendidikan tanpa penggiliran.

“Oleh itu, pengoperasian institusi pendidikan di Kedah akan bermula pada 10 Oktober 2021 untuk kumpulan murid berkenaan. Murid lain kekal mengikuti pengajaran dan pembelajaran di rumah.

“Susulan pengumuman Langkawi sebagai kawasan gelembung pelancongan pada 16 September lalu, pengoperasian institusi pendidikan bermula pada 3 Oktober depan adalah berdasarkan ketetapan negeri Fasa 4 PPN,” katanya.

Bagi institusi pendidikan di negeri lain yang tidak terbabit dengan peralihan fasa, pengoperasian institusi pendidikan adalah berdasarkan ketetapan fasa sedia ada seperti diumumkan kementerian pada 12 September lalu.

KPM menjelaskan, institusi pendidikan bawah KPM merujuk kepada sekolah, kolej vokasional, kolej matrikulasi dan institut pendidikan guru.

Katanya, ia juga terpakai kepada institusi pendidikan swasta yang berdaftar bawah KPM bagi kategori sekolah dan kategori pusat.

“KPM juga menyarankan supaya ketetapan ini turut terpakai di semua institusi pendidikan yang tidak berdaftar dengan KPM, termasuk institusi pendidikan bawah kerajaan negeri,” katanya. –

#TECH: It’s all about consumer demands at CLLA demo day

CYBERJAYA: The Cyberview Living Lab Accelerator (CLLA) 2021 Demo Day saw five homegrown startups pitch their innovative digital solutions to investors and venture capitalists (VC), in an online session held by Cyberview Sdn Bhd (Cyberview).

These solutions support the digitisation and transformation of sectors including educational technology (EduTech), property technology (PropTech) and industrial sectors, amidst changing business environment and consumer demands due to the on-going pandemic.

The participating start-ups are Roomah, Pandai, LinkUp Smart Solutions, Synapse Innovation, and Move Robotic.

The CLLA programme provides a launchpad for startups and innovators to accelerate their business development and growth in Cyberjaya. The city of Cyberjaya serves as a sandbox for these companies to conduct proof-of-concept testing of their products and solutions.

Cyberview’s head of technology hub development division, Shafinaz Salim, said, “I’m pleased to share that the CLLA have successfully garnered investments of over RM158 million cumulatively from renowned venture capitalists and investors. We are optimistic that this value will accelerate with the graduation of the 15th cohort. Their achievements thus far, have truly made us very proud. Despite the pandemic, they were optimistic and determined in developing and deploying their solutions.”

THE COHORT

To elevate homeowners’ living experience in the new normal, LinkUp Smart Solutions applies Internet of Things (IoT) and automation technologies to offer seamless interconnectivity in the home.

On the other hand, Roomah features a property management platform that flips vacant hotel rooms into medium-term rentals that cater to nomadic living trends among younger people.

Pandai on the other hand offers a curriculum-based learning application for home-bound school students while Synapse Innovation provides predictive analytics solutions powered by Machine Learning and Cloud technologies to boost industrial efficiencies.

Move Robotic provides autonomous robot services to empower companies that are considering remote capabilities for business sustainability in the new normal.

“The proliferation of consumer choice and demand in this new normal have driven local innovators to develop digital solutions to meet these expectations. We are thrilled to be able to support these start-ups as they take their business ideas to the next level through the Cyberview Living Lab Accelerator (CLLA) programme in Cyberjaya,” said Cyberview’s managing director, Najib Ibrahim.

The start-ups will have opportunities to network and connect with relevant industry experts during the five-month process of mentorship, strategy formulation, and consultancy, guided by Cyberview.

While they are based at a smart city collaborative space provided by Cyberview known as CoInnov8, the start-ups can enjoy value added services worth over RM100,000 on top of it.

“EduTech, PropTech, and other tech-based solutions developed by the latest cohort have growing potentials in the current business environment. The worldwide market for Robotic Process Automation (RPA) services will grow to US$12 billion in 2023, while PropTech is revolutionising the multi-trillion-dollar global real estate market and is expected to grow further in the new normal. The start-ups are on the right direction with their business ideas, and we are confident that it will peak the interests of investors and VCs,” added Najib.

Since its inception in 2013, Cyberview has nurtured 85 start-ups to advance their innovations under the CLLA Programme, including those that had pitched in this Demo Day.

Apart from the RM158 million in investments, the programme has also managed to help start-ups generate more than RM241 million in total revenue with more than 550 jobs created to date.

Among the successful graduates are NEXPlatform, ERTH, Moovby and Govicle. –

Technology in Education

The term
educational technology
 refers to the use of technology in educational settings, whether it be elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, corporate training sites, or independent study at home.

Technology and Learning

Most schools in Malaysia have adopted teaching and learning via technology as many teachers are well-equipped and readily progressing towards 21st century skills for students.

As an English language teacher, Kamilah Abdullah, who represented the country in E2 last year, said the most challenging part is encouraging students to use the language as much as possible.

From her observation, technology is one of the most powerful tools to support language use inside the classroom.

“Technology empowers learners to take charge of their learning. By using technology in class, students are free to learn at their own pace.”

Kamilah added technology does not change the teachers’ role in class but helps them to vary their teaching strategy and empowers students’ learning.

“No matter how advanced the technology used in class, a personal touch and face-to-face interactions between the teachers and students are still vital to teaching and learning.”

However, she believes that using technology can transform higher education in Malaysia. Although there is limited research in some areas, there is evidence that the use of educational apps does help children learn. Apps can act as built-in lessons and aid a teacher in tracking a student’s progress. Furthermore, the right app can enhance a teacher’s lesson by offering another approach to a subject.


Teknik PdPR bagi murid OKU

PERNAHKAH anda terfikir
bagaimana seorang murid berkeperluan khas atau orang kurang upaya (OKU) menjalani proses Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran di Rumah (PdPR)?

Bagaimanapun pula guru menangani kelompok murid sebegini setelah sekian lama terbiasa dengan kelas secara fizikal?

Dasar Pendidikan Negara menekankan mengenai setiap rakyat berhak untuk mendapatkan pendidikan.
Sehubungan itu, Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM) turut memperkenalkan program khusus kepada kumpulan pelajar OKU menjalani PdPR.

Pelaksanaan dasar dan program pendidikan khas ini termaktub dalam Akta Pendidikan 1996 dan Akta OKU 2008. Melaluinya, murid OKU dapat memperoleh pendidikan sama rata dengan pelajar arus perdana.

Bagaimanapun, kurikulum, kaedah dan teknik pengajaran serta pembelajaran memerlukan pengubahsuaian. Sebenarnya, penyampaian kurikulum akan lebih berkesan sekiranya guru pendidikan khas berjaya menggunakan bahan pengajaran interaktif mengikut keupayaan dan keperluan yang berbeza.

Perbezaan itu terjadi disebabkan kategori keperluan khas atau keadaan dialami pelajar berkeperluan khas tidak sama, malah penerimaan mereka terhadap topik diajar juga berbeza mengikut tiga aras keupayaan kognitif, afektif dan psikomotor iaitu rendah, sederhana dan tinggi.

Dalam memastikan penyampaian PdPR yang berkesan kepada pelajar pendidikan khas, guru mestilah menggunakan teknik dan gaya belajar berkonsepkan Visual, Auditori dan Kinestetik (VAK) yang membabitkan gaya belajar menggunakan deria penglihatan (visual), mendengar (auditori) dan gerakan (kinestetik).

Gambar dari Berita Harian

Kaedah Gaya Belajar VAK

1. Kaedah gaya belajar secara visual dapat diaplikasi
menggunakan media interaktif yang menarik melalui huruf, saiz teks, font warna, imej dan grafik.

2.
Gaya pembelajaran secara auditori
 pula memerlukan bahan bantu mengajar yang menggabungkan imej dan suara jelas supaya maklumat yang diterima oleh murid khas dapat difahami serta diingati dalam jangka panjang.

3.
Gaya belajar kinestatik
 memerlukan murid khas melaksanakan secara langsung (hands-on), kebiasaannya guru khas melaksanakan pengajaran dalam mata pra vokasional iaitu masakan, jahitan dan pertanian.

Gabungan gaya belajar menggunakan VAK berjaya dilaksana semasa PdPR kepada murid kategori austime, down syndrome, lembam dan hyperaktif melalui penggunaan rakaman video dan pautan di Youtube.
 Pada masa yang sama penilaian hasil pembelajaran turut menggunakan ‘google form’ dan aplikasi pembelajaran, wordwall.

Sementara itu, bagi kategori pelajar berkeperluan khas Kurang Upaya Penglihatan dan Kurang Upaya Pendengaran, tidak begitu sukar mengajar mereka kerana silibus diguna pakai adalah sama dengan pelajar arus perdana dengan bantuan berasaskan teknologi serta bantuan modul mata pelajaran.

Cuma cabaran besar dihadapi guru pendidikan khas adalah ketika mendidik pelajar yang berdepan masalah pembelajaran, seperti autisme, disleksia, lembam, sindrom down, kurang upaya intelektual, spastik, hiperaktif serta gangguan mental.

Bagaimanapun, berbekalkan kemahiran dan pengalaman mengajar dimiliki mereka, guru pendidikan khas tahu membezakan teknik paling sesuai diadaptasikan mengikut kategori permasalahan pelajar ketika PdPR
. Berikut adalah beberapa kaedah yang digunakan;

1. Jika pelajar itu berkeupayaan mendengar, seperti masalah penglihatan guru akan
menggunakan aplikasi Google Classroom
 untuk mengajar serta memberi arahan.

2. Bagi pelajar kurang upaya penglihatan,
PdPR dikendalikan menggunakan perisian Job Access With Speech (JAWS)
untuk membolehkan mereka menulis dan membaca perkongsian diberikan guru dalam tulisan Braille, malah mencetak bahan menggunakan mesin khas.

3. Jika membabitkan pelajar kurang upaya pendengaran,
guru perlu menggunakan teknik pengajaran visual, seperti video dengan medium komunikasinya adalah Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia (BIM) ataupun Kod Tangan Bahasa Melayu (KTBM).

4. Pengendalian PdPR bersama pelajar autisme memerlukan guru m
emberikan arahan pendek, ringkas dan padat melalui video
 kerana mereka ini mengalami masalah pemahaman juga tumpuan yang terhad.

5. Bagi pelajar disleksia yang mempunyai masalah membaca pula, guru mendekati mereka melalui
 kaedah ‘multisensory’
 iaitu bertujuan meningkatkan kemahiran komunikasi, pendengaran dan penulisan untuk memastikan tunjuk ajar diberi mampu dikuasai.
Kaedah multisensory ini juga sesuai untuk kanak-kanak lembam, sindrom down, kurang upaya intelektual, spastik, hiperaktif serta gangguan mental.

Pengajaran yang berbentuk terapi juga boleh dilaksanakan
 melalui PdPR contohnya terapi pertuturan melalui aktiviti latihan pertuturan menggunakan multimedia yang interaktif.

Selain itu, PdPR membabitkan pelajar pendidikan khas ini perlu
dilaksanakan secara interaktif dan pelbagai cara, seperti menggunakan video, gambar, saiz teks, reka bentuk skrin, warna, muzik dan permainan menarik supaya mereka tidak cepat bosan.

Walaupun dalam setiap kelas pendidikan khas hanya ada lima hingga lapan pelajar, tetapi masalah mereka berbeza, justeru bagi memastikan penyampaian PdPR mampu dikendalikan dengan berkesan, ibu bapa harus memberikan sokongan penuh dengan membantu anak mengikuti proses belajar, terutama apabila membabitkan pelajar berkeperluan bermasalah pembelajaran berkefungsian rendah aras rendah.

Satu hal yang boleh dikongsikan, dalam memastikan kaedah secara dalam talian lebih berkesan, KPM diharap dapat memberikan kursus dalam tempoh terdekat kepada guru pendidikan khas berhubung penyediaan bahan bantu mengajar berbentuk pelbagai media selari dengan IR 4.0 dalam masa yang sama memperkasakan pelaksanaan Program Pendidikan Inklusif ini dicapai sebaik mungkin supaya dirasai oleh warga pendidik di Malaysia.

Ketika ini guru mengajar dengan menggunakan bahan yang mereka ubah suai dari kurikulum untuk disesuaikan dengan diri setiap murid, jadi sudah tiba masa mereka diberikan kemahiran teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi serta penyediaan bahan lebih interaktif serta menggunakan aplikasi mudah alih yang terkini.

Hal ini dapat membantu melancarkan PdPR sama ada daripada pihak guru atau murid.

The 9 Different Types of Intelligence – Which Smart are you ?

Did you know there are 9 types of intelligence? These range from musical, interpersonal, spatial, and more. The question is: Which intelligence type do you have?

When you think of intelligence, you might think of IQ tests. You might think of geniuses who can recite entire lines of mathematics, or people accepting Nobel Prizes. Many of us consider intelligence as an innate ability to learn and remember information and ideas. However, in recent decades, our understanding of intelligence has changed.

The Origins of Christmas: Tradition and History!

For two millennia, people around the world have been observing it with traditions and practices that are both religious and secular in nature. Early Europeans celebrated light and birth in the darkest days of winter. Many peoples rejoiced during the winter solstice, when the worst of the winter was behind them and they could look forward to longer days and extended hours of sunlight that are called Christmas. It is celebrated on December 25 and is both a sacred religious holiday and a worldwide cultural and commercial phenomenon.

The end of December was a perfect time for celebration in most areas of Europe. With the spread of Christianity beyond Europe and North America, the celebration of Christmas was transferred to societies throughout the non-Western world. In many of these countries, Christians are not the majority population, and, therefore, the religious holiday has not become a cultural holiday. Christmas customs in these societies thus often echo Western traditions because the people were exposed to Christianity as a religion and cultural artifact of the West.

History check!

For centuries, Christmas was celebrated not as a single day, but as a whole season in parts of the world begins with December 24th, Christmas Eve. The practice of celebrating the evening before the big day is an echo from ancient Jewish reckoning. Among earlier Jews, a day began at six in the evening and ran until six the following evening.

Christmas means “Christ-mass.” Although the date is a guess, the tradition of observing it goes back to at least the fourth century. Under the influence of the church, Christian traditions replaced pagan solstice festivals throughout Europe. Often the more innocent pagan practices (such as bringing in a Yule log, decorating with holly and the like) were carried over into the Christmas observance, transfigured with new meaning.

Who is Santa Claus?

Inspired by St. Nicholas, this Christmas tradition has Christian roots, rather than pagan ones. Born in southern Turkey around 280, he was a bishop in the early Christian church and suffered persecution and imprisonment for his faith. Coming from a wealthy family, he was renowned for his generosity towards the poor and disenfranchised. The legends surrounding him abound, but the most famous is how he saved three daughters from being sold into slavery. There was no dowry to entice a man to marry them, so it was their father’s last resort. St. Nicholas is said to have tossed gold through an open window into the home, thus saving them from their fate. Legend has it that the gold landed in a sock drying by the fire, so children started hanging stockings by their fires in hopes St. Nicholas would toss gifts into them.

What are the traditions?

The tradition of celebrating Christmas as a secular family holiday is splendidly illustrated by a number of English “
Christmas
” carols such as “
Here We Come A-Wassailing
” or “
Deck the Halls
.” It can also be seen in the practice of sending Christmas card which began in England in the 19th century.

The morning of December 25 has become the time for the exchange of gifts in North America. These popular customs include exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive. As given the importance of Christmas, one of the major Christian feast days is under the most European countries observe and Christian influence. Hence, December 26 as a second Christmas holiday.

Hidden Meaning of Christmas

Evergreen Trees
 were the symbol of eternal life. Martin Luther introduced them to the Reformation Church as a picture of our endless life by bringing in a tree to his family on Christmas

Candles
 are a picture that Christ is the Light of the world.

Holly
 speaks of the thorns in His crown

Red
 is a color of Christmas that speaks of Christ’s blood and death.

Gifts
 are a reminder of the gifts of the Magi to baby Jesus. Each of them speak to a component of His incarnation: Majesty in life, Bitterest Agony in Death and He as God’s Perfect gift to us.

Bells
 are associated with ringing out news.

In short, where ever you may be, and whatever traditions you follow, we wish you the merriest of Christmases and the happiest of holidays!

Tip skor A Matematik- Calon Peperiksaan Boleh Follow!

“Susah la Matematik ni” “Lantak lah Matematik dapat C” “Tak reti la jalan kira dia”

Hmm.. Ramai pelajar merasakan Matematik adalah subjek yang susah nak skor. Bila nampak je nombor besar dan banyak dalam soalan atau kertas peperiksaan kita. Ada segelintir pelajar dah mengelabah. Terus berpeluh dan cemas.
Jadi, bagaimana nak hilangkan tanggapan “Susah” dalam Matematik ini? Jom baca tips yang dikongsi oleh seorang guru bagi membantu pelajar di luar sana untuk skor A dalam Matematik.

Untuk dapat result A dalam Matematik, pelajar perlu mengetahui teknik dan cara belajar subjek Matematik dengan betul. Antaranya adalah
1. Fokus dalam kelas

Otak manusia perlu fokus hanya pada satu perkara sekiranya dia ingin menyerap semua fakta ke bahagian ingatannya. So,
fokus
 adalah perkara utama yang wajib dilakukan semasa belajar Matematik dalam kelas.

Fokus macam mana jalan kira sesuatu soalan yang diberi oleh guru.
 Bila kita fokus, kita tahu di mana yang kita tak faham dan di mana yang kita faham.
Kalau tak faham, tanda siap-siap dan bersedia untuk pergi berjumpa guru
.

2. Wajib latihan Matematik 1 jam 30 minit setiap hari

Selalu mesti akan ada suara-suara negatif akan cakap…eh tak sempatlah nak buat latihan… banyak kerja sekolah…nak study subjek lain lagi.
Ketepikan semua suara-suara negatif tersebut. Apa yang wajib kita buat,
schedule kan waktu bila latihan Matematik wajib di buat.

Saya suka letakkan masa study Matematik saya adalah dari pukul 12 malam – 1.30 pagi, sebabnya time ni dah study akhir. Jadi saya wajibkan buat latihan soalan Matematik dalam lima soalan yang baru dipelajari di sekolah.

Matematik adalah subjek mengira. Jika kita hanya membaca formula dan gerak kerja hitungan, kita tidak mampu pergi dengan lebih lanjut. So, mesti wajib buat latihan Matematik setiap hari. Dont ever to miss dari buat latihan.
Matematik adalah subjek yang mesti dibuat latihan setiap hari untuk mengelakkan lupa di samping melatih otak untuk aktif bekerja dalam proses gerak kerja operasi mengira.

3. Wajib ada cikgu @ rakan berbincang

Soalan-soalan Matematik selalunya mencabar dan memerlukan proses berfikir luar dari kebiasaan. Ini kerana Matematik adalah subjek untuk menyelesaikan masalah. Dan jugaMatematik adalah subjek berfikir. Bagi pelajar yang boleh berfikir LUAR KEBIASAAN, insya-Allah dia mesti mampu selesaikan jalan kira Matematik.

Sebaliknya kalau pelajar tersebut tidak mampu berfikir lebih dari biasa, itu yang problem baginya, time ni dia akan fikir susahnya belajar Matematik. So, apa yg perlu buat adalah,
wujudkan rakan khas untuk belajar Matematik
. Wujudkan di sekolah.

Di sekolah,
share dengan rakan yang bijak Matematik kenapa kita tak mampu jawab soalan tersebut.
 Minta kawan tunjukkan cara berfikir untuk solve soalan. Bukan bermakna minta kawan buatkan, sebaliknya minta kawan ajar proses berfikir untuk selesaikan soalan Matematik tersebut.

4. Latihan soalan Matematik yang susah dan mencabar minda

Saya sangat suka buat latihan bagi soalan-soalan yang mencabar minda saya. Saya suka soalan yang perlukan saya berfikir luar dari biasa.

Akibat dan kesannya ialah…pelajar akan terbiasa dan terdedah dengan soalan yang mencabar minda dan susah. So bila exam nanti, kita sudah biasa untuk menjawab soalan susah. Soalan exam selalunya lebih mudah daripada level susah tu…sebab soalan exam perlukan keseimbangan antara susah dan senang.

Jadi sudah tentu soalan yang senang kita mudah buat sebab selalu kita buat latihan untuk soalan yg susah.
At the same time, soalan exam yang susah pun mudah untuk diselesaikan oleh kita.  Itulah trick dan cara seorang pelajar belajar subjek Matematik. buat latihan bagi soalan susah.

5. Formula Matematik

Perkara ni wajib bagi pelajar hafal dan ingat sebab pelajar tidak dapat lari daripada formula Matematik. Formula Matematik perlu digunakan dalam setiap operasi hitungan Matematik.
Biasakan diri menghafal formula Matematik…penting sangat untuk skor A.

6. Tip akhir: Tanamkan dalam diri dan minda pelajar bahawa belajar Matematik amat mudah

Yakinkan diri bahawa belajar
Matematik amat mudah.

Bila minda dan pemikiran cakap mudah, so bila cikgu ajar subjek Matematik, diri akan rasa gembira dan enjoy nak belajar. Bila enjoy belajar Matematik, baru mudah nak kuasai silibus yang diajar guru.

Bila mudah kuasai, baru rasa seronok belajar. Walaupun rasa susahnya jalan kira yang cikgu ajar tu, just rasa susah tapi set kan dalam minda “senang je ni sebab aku boleh belajar jalan kiranya. Dah tahu jalan kira, mudahlah”.

So belajar Matematik mudah bila kena dengan tekniknya. Saya suka Matematik.

Tips On How To Build Self-Confidence And Bigger Self-Esteem

Everyone wants confidence, and it’s easy to tell when someone else has it. Unfortunately, it might seem impossible to get ourselves to believe in ourselves. This confidence is easier than it may seem. There are techniques to boost your self-esteem. Boosting your chances of success in both your personal and professional life is a healthy dose of self-confidence. According to studies, more confident people perform better academically.

Stop Making Comparisons to Others

When you become aware of making comparisons, how do you boost your confidence? First, it’s important to keep in mind that doing so would only serve to affect your progress. Nothing in life is a race; we’re all just trying to do our best. Focusing on what you have control over, even if it’s just a little part of your overall objective, will give you the confidence you need to keep going. Furthermore, remember that boosting your confidence will boost your confidence even more. The best way to establish lasting self-assurance is to focus first on the areas over which you exert the most influence.

Take A Stand Against Your Inner Voice

You may be hesitant to trust yourself because you have previously received negative comments from authoritative individuals such as parents, teachers, or leaders, and you have absorbed their critiques as your own opinions. However, there comes a moment when this input is no longer useful in your present situation. Standing up to previous critiques might help you gain new confidence. People you spend time with might have a greater impact on your thoughts and perceptions about yourself than you know. If you feel horrible about yourself after spending time with someone, it may be time to put an end. Instead, engage yourself with individuals who genuinely care about you. Seek out people that are upbeat and can help you increase your confidence. Positivity and self-assurance go hand in hand.

Treat Yourself With Care

If you want to be more understanding of yourself while you’re going through tough times, self-compassion is a trait you should work on developing. As a result, you may be able to shift from self-deprecating to self-affirming conversations. If you find yourself in a trying situation in the future, remind yourself that flaws and weaknesses are natural in the human condition. Try to treat yourself with kindness while you go through these challenges.

Hard Times Are Temporary

The phases of emotion have a beginning, a middle, and an end. Emotions are moving fast, despite how powerful they may seem in time. Feelings, in their most elemental definition, are the body’s reaction to different influences. You may realise that your fears were wrong and that making a few missteps isn’t the end of the world. The more you accomplish, the more assured you’ll feel in your abilities. Finally, this can assist you to avoid taking dangerous chances that could have devastating results.

Lack of self-assurance is a problem that affects everyone. There are, fortunately, many ways to improve one’s sense of self-worth. Learning to act confidently may often lead to an increase in genuine self-assurance. In order to have a more satisfying existence, it is important to regain that sense of self-assurance.

Tips Persediaan Menghadapi Peperiksaan

Hai adik-adik! Takut tak dengan nama peperiksaan ini? Hah, tak kisah la anda calon peperiksaan UPSR, PT3, SPM, STPM atau STAM sekali pun. Bagaimana persediaan adik-adik untuk menghadapi peperiksaan? Tidak kira apapun subjek yang bakal anda hadapi, persediaan sebelum menempuh peperiksan itu penting tau! Adakah anda dah bersedia? Berapa peratus tu? 80% atau masih 50%? Hmm..

Tidak mengapa, jangan bimbang, apapun kertas esok untuk peperiksaan subjek seterusnya. Pastikan dah ulangkaji dan percaya yang anda boleh lakukan! Tidak ada yang mustahil!
Nak tahu, persediaan apa lagi yang anda tak buat sebelum menghadapi peperiksaan ni! Jom lihat!

1. Elakkan Diri Study Last Minit

Korang
“Please jangan study last minute”.
 Melainkan korang memang dalam kelas jenis yang fokus dan tumpukan perhatian sepenuhnya dalam kelas. Paling tak pun korang nie jenis yang study sebelum masuk kelas.

Apapun setiap daripada kita mempunyai cara yang berbeza. Ada orang mungkin study last minit tapi dalam kelas dia faham dan cepat pick up apa yang disampaikan oleh guru di hadapan kelas.
 So, tak hairanlah dia boleh skor dalam exam.
Walau bagaimanapun, jangan amalkan “study last minit”. Luangkan sedikit masa untuk mengulangkaji.
Tak salah persiapkan diri lebih awal kerana kita akan lebih relaks dan kurang tekanan menghadapi peperiksaan yang akan datang.
2. Two Head Is Better Than One

“Dua kepala lebih baik daripada seorang”
.
Cuba ajak kawan buat study group atau belajar secara berkumpulan tentang topik yang korang kurang mahir.
 Ada sesetengah orang dia mungkin kurang mahir bab matematik tetapi bab sejarah dia paling
POWER!

Dengan adanya “Study Group” korang boleh berbincang tentang sesuatu topik yang mana korang lemah.
Belajar berkumpulan ini bukan sahaja dapat bantu mereka yang kurang mahir dalam sesuatu subjek malah korang juga boleh meningkatkan pemahaman dan daya ingatan dengan mengajar orang lain
.

Jangan kedekut ilmu tau! Insya’Allah, kita mudahkan urusan orang lain, Allah mudahkan urusan kita pula.

3. Sediakan Nota Ringkas & Padat

Hah ini penting tau!
Kalau boleh elakkan daripada copy paste ayat dalam buku teks.
 Cukuplah korang senaraikan point penting dan cuba untuk memahami dan meringkaskan point tersebut dalam bentuk yang korang sendiri boleh ingat.

Menurut kajian psikologi, nota yang berwarna-warni dapat membantu meningkatkan daya ingatan serta merangsang mood pelajar.
 Be kreatif dalam menulis nota. Tetapi tips ini tidak semestinya di aplikasikan kepada semua orang. Ada yang jenis tak suka tengok nota warna pelangi. Ada pelajar yang suka conteng buku. Ada juga yang tak tulis nota langsung. Hahaha depends on you.
4. Jaga Pemakanan & Kesihatan

Selain daripada persediaan dari segi akademik.
Jangan sampai abaikan pemakanan dan juga kesihatan korang.
Amalkan diet yang seimbang dan kurangkan makan makanan ringan dan kurang sihat. Makanan memainkan peranan yang sangat penting untuk mengekalkan tumpuan dan tenaga kita.
Rajinkan diri untuk bersenam kerana otak juga memerlukan rehat yang cukup setelah penat menghadap buku sepanjang hari.
Seperti badan kita, otak kita juga pandai penat.

5. Kurangkan Hiburan & Media Sosial

Tidak dinafikan hiburan seperti menonton tv, drama korea, anime dan juga media sosial (whatsapp, twitter, instagram) sedikit sebanyak mengganggu kita untuk kekal fokus dalam mengulangkaji.
 Please stop dengan segala perkara yang boleh menganggu anda untuk fokus! Kali ini sahaja minta dijauhkan! Fokus!

So, kalau boleh bersabarlah dahulu daripada pegang handphone atau laptop. Caranya senang saja, jangan letak handphone kat tepi buku kalau nak study. Nanti nafsu anda menarik tangan anda untuk sentuh handphone tu. Hahaha

6. Minta Doa & Restu Orang Tua

Yang jauh jangan lupa call parents minta restu mereka supaya dipermudahkan korang menjawab nanti.
Yang dekat jangan segan nak peluk cium tangan mak ayah minta restu setiap kali korang nak exam. Penting sangat waktu ini meminta doa dan restu untuk mendapat berkat dari kedua ibu bapa kita. Barulah nak jawab peperiksaan dengan tenang.
Solat pun jangan lupa. Hargai masa dengan sebaiknya. Caranya adalah dengan solat apabila masuk waktunya.
Tinggalkan nota korang tu. Minta petunjuk dan doa kepada Tuhan untuk korang menjawab paper nanti. Apabila kita jaga hubungan kita dengan Tuhan, pasti Tuhan akan permudahkan urusan kita dikemudian hari.
Semoga tips yang share ini dapat sedikit sebanyak membantu pelajar-pelajar disana dalam menghadapi peperiksaan. Semoga dipermudahkan urusan semasa menjawab peperiksaan.
“Stay positive and believe yourself”

Tips Untuk Pelajar Yang Selalu Ulangkaji “Last Minute”

Siapa dekat sini yang suka study last minute? Semua student selalunya gemar study bila dah nak final exam. Hari-hari terakhir tu mula lah nak refer balik notes yang bersepah-sepah tanpa ada tujuan yang betul. Hari ini,
PANDAI
 nak share serba sedikit tips buat student yang buntu nak ulang kaji masa last minute.

“Relaks. Jangan panic”

Source : www.chinemeiloh.com

1. Rujuk nota-nota ringkas

Guna highlighter yang berwarna-warni untuk point out definisi, fakta penting dan isi kandungan dalam buku teks yang confirm masuk exam! Nota-nota pendek selalu nya straight to the point dan senang nak hafal. Semak key point yang penting untuk buat summary yang padat. Biasanya untuk dapat teknik menghafal dengan berkesan, student selalu menggunakan teknik “Mnemonic Device” iaitu teknik singkatkan huruf untuk membentuk acronym. Jadi, boleh cuba taktik macam ini.

Pandai pon ada ciri khas
Nota ringkas
 tau. Nota Pandai adalah inisiatif penyediaan nota ringkas pembelajaran berdasarkan kurikulum sekolah kebangsaan (KSSR & KSSM). Setiap nota disusn mengikut tahun, subjek, bab dan topik berdasarkan Dokumen Standard Kurikulum dan Pentaksiran (DSKP) oleh Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM). Inisiatif ini merupakan usaha Pandai untuk memastikan semua pelajar sekolah mendapat nota pendidikan yang berkualiti.

2. Study Group Works!

Bagi yang suka study sendiri tu, ulang kaji beramai-ramai sangat lah berguna di saat-saat akhir. Lebih-lebih lagi untuk berkongsi nasihat cikgu semasa dalam kelas. Konsep idea-idea bernas akan keluar secara berulang kali bila dibuat dalam kumpulan. Cara study group juga menjimatkan masa tau, student akan jadi lebih fokus kerarah point-point penting. Dapat juga mengeratkan silaturrahim dengan rakan-rakan!

3. Elak gangguan teknologi

Memang susah nak berenggang dengan internet lagi-lagi bila semua informasi dalam laptop. Kebanyakkan maklumat cikgu bagi dalam laptop ialah kerana kelas online. Tapi, pelajar mestilah bijak menggunakan masa supaya tak tengok benda yang tidak berfaedah. Sebagai contoh, pelajar boleh rujuk ciri ciri yang ada dalam Aplikasi Pandai. Pandai mempunyai flashcard yang colourful, kuiz yang tidak berulang, jawab contoh soalan peperiksaan dan macam macam lagi. Boleh ke website kami
https://pandai.org/
 untuk tahu lebih lanjut ya!

4. Tidur yang cukup!

Pastikan tidur secukupnya sebelum menjelang peperiksaan. Kalau kurang tidur, badan jadi lemah, susah nak fokus dan silap-silap semua point yang hafal semalam hilang! Jadi, potensi untuk blank atau hilang fokus sangat besar kerana otak tidak berfungsi dengan baik. Untuk mengelakkan perkara ini berlaku, student perlu mengamalkan makanan yang berkhasiat seperti buah-buahan segar, smoothies, telur, ikan, kacang dan green tea. Semua makanan tu ada fiber yang tinggi untuk tolong otak berfikir dengan lebih effektif.

5. Lapangkan fikiran!

Bila dah last minute tu, macam macam nak fikir. Kad matrik tiba-tiba hilang lah, slip exam lambat print dan banyak lagi. Jadi, waktu-waktu macam ini kena isolate ke tempat yang sesuai untuk belajar seperti library ke atau pun tempat tidak menganggu perhatian. Tinggalkan komitmen yang ada terlebih dahulu dan tumpukan sepenuhnya untuk belajar. Student juga boleh memberikan kata-kata semangat kepada diri sendiri supaya lebih bermotivasi.

Jom ikuti 5 Tips ni untuk pelajar yang suka study last minute! Lebih baik sebenarnya kalau kita bersiap sedia dengan lebih awal, tapi kalau belajar last minute lagi senang nak hadam maklumat, ikutlah yang mana kita lebih selesa.

Top 5 Method of Improving Students Productivity in School

Do you want some tips to help you power through the hectic days? Check out these practical productivity list for a student like you!

For students, productivity refers to their efforts and ability to perform efficiently in their studies. This involves how well they manage their time, their ability to prioritize, and their overall input into achieving academic success. It is essential to look out for ways to be productive in your education by focusing on the things that will help you meet your goals.

What is productivity in education?

Productivity in education can be defined as the level of effort put into accomplishing positive academic results. Excelling in education can be attributed to many factors aside from a student’s personal efforts and circumstances. The quality of learning is an important factor. It’s like garbage in, garbage out; the output depends on the input.

If the school only aims only to produce excellent students. In that case, they must invest in high-quality learning and other things that will lead to good academic performance. This will, in turn, give students all the necessary tools needed to make good grades.

How to measure productivity for students

Productivity for students is measured by simply assessing their academic performance. It is the cumulative effect of your hard work in your assignments, school projects,  and studying for your exams.

A mastery of study materials, demonstration of the knowledge you have learned, and how well you retain information are all used to evaluate how productive you have been as a student with your time.

1. Set a Timetable / Develop Your Own Productivity Routine.

For any student who has a myriad of things to do daily, scheduling and prioritisation skills are indispensable. One has to dedicate time and energy to finishing homework, such as quizzez, attending tutorial classes, and attending curricular activities

Developing and cultivating habits that maximise your time and being flexible is the goal. Moreso, having a routine helps you find your footing during unprecedented times when you still need to be productive at school.

2. Tackle the Hardest Tasks First to Prevent Procrastination.

Dreading a particular homework only delays it further and increases the to-do pile. Because you can’t avoid that tedious report forever, get on with it as soon as you are able. The sooner you start doing it, the sooner you can get it over with.

How you perceive the task’s difficultness can affect your interest, or lack of, in doing it. This tendency to procrastinate may also have to do with perceived self-control or moods and feelings at the moment. It’s helpful to look into these matters when creating appropriate strategies involving difficult subjects.

3. Take Regular Breaks

It’s amazing how ideas would come to you, like a catchy title for an essay, when you are in the bathroom and hardly thinking about anything. Stretching, walking, solving the day’s Puzzle, or snacking can re-energise your about-to-be-fried brain.

Taking breaks helps sustain your energy and focus for as long as they are well-spaced and not intended to disrupt your rhythm. Rest your head and hands for a bit in the middle of a task or before jumping into the next one in your queue.

4. Tune out distractions

By now you have picked a favourite place for studying. But no matter how perfect the location is, distractions still exist. So in addition to the tips provided here, check out the following when something else grabs your attention:

How to Deal with Distractions

Set time for checking homework and revision time

Turn off push notifications in your phone

Invest in noise-cancelling headphones.

Be clear about objectives and goals when studying in a group.

Think of deadlines to submit school work as motivation.

Prepare a big reward for all your hard work.

5. Use Tech Tools to Stay Organised.

Thankfully, technology helps maximise productivity by automating tasks and keeping you on track. Consider these tools for a more organised day:

Digital planner: Go paperless in plotting your everyday schedule and more.

Note-taking app: Use it for handwriting to text recognition or for taking notes digitally.

Cloud storage: Save and back up all your files.

Project management: Stay on top of your work and more with customisable, virtual boards.

In short, productivity is a premium in school to achieve high ranks and top of the class. But you are not really without experience because time management, resourcefulness, communication, and creativity, among other skills mastered as a student could be put into good use when you start working. Also, you have these tips to make your day easier to manage!

Like Pandai, we have a complete set of learning aid that students need to excel in their subjects. It is useful as it is accessible in your phone, computers or any of your gadgets. Therefore, it is important to be up-to-date in all things especially learning!
