Assalamualaikum.

So readers, how should I begin with this entry? *Trying not to go wild with languague*

"Create a simple questionnaire (10 questions only) for survey research on the topic chosen - related to assignment (use multiple choice-one answer). Create a questionnaire (Pilot test) using http://www.surveymonkey.com "

How about that? Understandable? Good.

Assignment - Educational Research Process

Assalamualaikum.

Today is a beautiful day.

Have you ever heard of Educational Research Process? No?? Owh, that's fine 'cause you know why? We can always Google it. We all LOVE Google, do we?? *giggles

After a little effort of Google-ing :

Conducting educational research involves the exploration, description, explanation, or prediction of educational phenomenon using systematic data collection and analysis procedures.

Since I'm not going to copy-and-paste everything here, you can always read more about it, just to have a clear view of what I'm trying to explain.

Assignment - Literature Review

Assalamualaikum.

Howdy, howdy peeps! The sun is shining brightly, isn't?

LITERATURE REVIEW

What is literature review exactly?

A literature review is a body of text that aims to review the critical points of current knowledge including substantive findings as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to a particular topic. Literature reviews are secondary sources, and as such, do not report any new or original experimental work.

Simai Haji Mati was quoted saying that literature review should be referred to as reviewing and analyzing the work of literature in relation to the specified topic in research.

Most often associated with academic-oriented literature, such as a thesis, a literature review usually precedes a research proposal and results section. Its ultimate goal is to bring the reader up to date with current literature on a topic and forms the basis for another goal, such as future research that may be needed in the area.

A well-structured literature review is characterized by a logical flow of ideas; current and relevant references with consistent, appropriate referencing style; proper use of terminology; and an unbiased and comprehensive view of the previous research on the topic.

Here we are again. Writing on literature review is my given task for this week. Yes, a task for each week. Just to make sure we're learning something from this course (Of course we are!). From my experience, writing a literature review for a topic is quite time-consuming. Involved lots of reading and jotting down notes.

Assignment - Plagiarism

Assamualaikum.

Yay! Another assignment. Haha. Sorry, I just can not help myself typing that. 

This week, we are doing on plagiarism. Before I go deeper with this, please allow me to define plagiarism. Plagiarism is defined as the unauthorized use or close imitation of the languague and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work, as by not crediting the author. 

Basically enough, I need to study on the topic and discuss about it critically and creatively (again?). After that, here comes my favourite part, which is writing a report about plagiarism. Something difference about this task is, it's not only I have to study on articles of plagiarism, but also on the websites (hope that would bring some differences). 

Do feel free to drop your comments on my report, yeah. Be safe people.

Assignment - Open Source Software

Assalamualaikum.

This week's assignment is quite similar to last week assignment. This week, we have been assigned to do THINK, PAIR, SHARE activity. For this task, 1 student is assigned to 1 subtopic. I've chose subtopic Open Source Software for my assignment.

What exactly I have to do is, firstly, using any search engine, study the subtopic individually (THINK). Then, discuss with other student(s) about the same subtopic (PAIR). For each pair (triplet), use one of our facebook groups created before, to create a document explaining and discussing critically about the issues of the subtopic Open Source Software, plus providing the links (SHARE). With that, each member of the group must read and respond to our post relating to the subtopic. The owner/moderator must also give feedbacks (ONLINE DISCUSSION).

That's all from me now.

Assignment - Course/Learning Management System (C/LMS)

Assalamualaikum.

We've been received our first assignment, which is about Open Source software. For this task, we also need to study individually and discuss critically and creatively with my partner, Nurul Jannah Ahmad Ghulamuddin by using any search engine and study What, Why, Where, Who and How of Course/Learning management System (C/LMS) . Besides, we also need to list out the advantages of C/LMS and the open source software for C/LMS.

Next, we gonna have to write a report using Google doc (use our own google/gmail account to open docs.google.com ) and share with our peers, course lecturer and coordinator. The peers can give feedback to our report. Then, in Google doc, we need to save (download) the file as odt, pdf etc and upload it back to our yahoogroup's file.

As simple as that. In the beginning, it might quite tough to complete the task, but with our friends and lecturer helps, everything went smoothly.

First two weeks of class.

Good day, hall!

I'm Nora Ezzati bt Azmi. First Year's student of TESL, Bachelor of Education, Faculty of Education, University Kebangsaan Malaysia. Today is 10 October 2011 and that indicates I've been surviving here for 1 month and 3 days. Yay for me!

Back to the point,  we'd begun our classes since the three weeks back. Did I mention about a course of Computer in Education? Basically enough, this course, GE1155 Computer in Education is all about how we're  dealing with technology and ICT, especially computer,  as future-to-be teachers. InsyaAllah.  Going deeper, our lecturer for this course is Prof Madya Dr. Norazah Nordin. She has wide experiences in teaching and has been inspiring me with her stories of her teaching experiences. 

For me, the subject of Computer in Education had taught me a lot about computer and using the internet. Alhamdulillah, I've been able to practiced the knowledge that I've gained in this course. We've learnt to make Yahoo! Group on Yahoo!, creating signature for emails, creating group on Facebook and so on and so forth. 

Moving back to my expectation for this course, well, I never taught I'd be learning all these. I was being enlightened about ICT by taking this course. Absolutely, there's no such thing as wasting times taking this course since like I've mentioned before, we've learnt and gained a lot of knowledge by this time. 

Till now readers. Be safe and behave yourselves well. May peace be upon you. 

Thank you.
