TEKNOLOGI DAN INOVASI DALAM PENDIDIKAN

ISU BERKAITAN TEKNOLOGI DAN INOVASI ( PENDIDIKAN)

E- LEARNING

Definasi ‘e-learning’ atau electonic learning ini seringkali berubah-ubah selaras dengan kemajuan teknologi pada masa kini. Ia juga seringkali di salah tafsikan dalam iklan-iklan promosi pendidikan. Secara umumnya, ‘e-learning’ adalah sebarang pengajaran dan pembelajaran yang menggunakan rangkaian elektronik (LAN,WAN atau internet) untuk menyampaian isi kandungan, interaksi atau pemudahcaraan. Internet, Intranet, satelit, tape audio/ video, TV interaktif dan CD ROM adalah sebahagian media elektronik yang dimaksudkan di dalam kategori ini.

Pengajaran boleh dijalankan secara ‘synchronously’ (pada waktu yang sama) atau‘asynchronously’ (pada waktu yang berbeza). Bahan pengajaran dan pembelajaran boleh disampaikan melalui media ini mempunyai ciri-ciri multimedia seperti teks, grafik, animasi, simulasi, audio dan video. Ia juga harus menyediakan kemudahan untuk ‘discussion group’ serta membolehkan bimbingan dijalankan dalam talian ‘on line’ (Learnframe, 2001)

APLIKASI ‘E-LEARNING ‘ DALAM PENGAJARAN DAN PEMBELAJARAN DI
MALAYSIA

Kenapa ‘ e-learning’ perlu digunakan di sekolah-sekolah di Malaysia?

‘E-learning’ membolehkan pembelajaran kendiri dilaksanakan dengan lebih berkesan. Bahan pengajaran dan pembelajaran ‘e-learning’ yang dirancang, disediakan secara profesional dan baik. Mengunakan ciri-ciri multimedia untuk menyampaikan isi pelajaran dengan berkesan dan menarik. Pelajar boleh memilih masa, kandungan serta mengikut kesesuaian mereka. Pelajar tidak perlu rasa malu untuk bertanya dan berpeluang belajar tajuk yang susah berulang kali sehingga pemahaman mereka tercapai.

Pertanyaan juga boleh dibuat dalam talian. Perbincangan kumpulan yang lebih terancang dan teratur juga boleh dicapai dengan menggunakan teknologi yang sedia ada. ‘ E-learning’ yang diuruskan dengan baik dapat menyimpan rekod pembelajaran yang berkesan dan sistematik untuk rujukan pelajar, guru, mentor atau fasilitator.

ISU DAN PEMASALAHAN DALAM PELAKSANAAN ‘E-LEARNING’

Akses / Kos Pengendalian

Akses kepada ICT merupakan masalah utama di Malaysia. 83% masyarakat di kawasan luar
bandar dan 60% di kawasan bandar mendapati akses kepada ICT adalah terlalu mahal. Dari 1.5 juta rakyat Malaysia yang menggunakan internet, 50% berada di kawasan Selangor dan Wilayah Persekutuan. Ini mewujudkan jurang digital yang ketara di dalam masyarakat Malaysia. (Education Quarterly:35 : 2001).
Tiada akses kepada internet serta talian akses yang perlahan merupakan cabaran yang dirasai di sekolah-sekolah tertentu. Begitu juga sekolah yang tidak mempunyai komputer (kecuali untuk urusan pentadbiran) atau kuasa elektrik memberikan cabaran yang hebat dalam perlaksanaan ‘e-learning’.


Kekurangan Bahan Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran

Kekurangan bahan pengajaran dan pembelajaran di dalam Bahasa Melayu juga agak merisaukan. Manakala, Bahasa Inggeris digunakan hampir 80% laman web (Media Asia: 176, 1999). Namun begitu, kepesatan ledakan era digital menyebabkan banyak portal tempatan diwujudkan. Contohnya, portal pendidikan seperti Utusan dan Berita Harian, Cikgu on line, persatuan ulama on line dan lain-lain.

Kos Bahan / Infrastruktur
Ia melibatkan kos yang tinggi sama ada untuk infrastruktur telekomunikasi, perkakasan dan perisian. Kos membaikpulih komputer yang rosak juga perlu dipertimbangkan. Perisian mestilah yang asli dan bukan yang dibeli di pasaran biasa atau pirate installler. Tentulah ia melibatkan kos yang tinggi kerana satu perisian adalah untuk satu komputer sahaja. Selain itu, negara kita dikejutkan tentang isu makmal-makmal komputer yang belum siap dibina atau yang siap dibina tetapi tidak selamat diduduki. Ini amat merugikan dan satu pembaziran kerana pembinaaan makmal komputer ini melibatkan tender-tender kerajaan. Selain itu, perkakasan komputer sentiasa berubah (Pentium 4) kerana tidak mungkin perisian terkini memakai Pentium 486 atau Pentium 2.

CADANGAN DAN PENYELESAIAN ‘E-LEARNING’

Beberapa cadangan dan penyelesaian yang akan diperjelaskan bagi isu dan pelaksanaan‘e-learning’ di Malaysia. Terdapat empat cadangan dan beberapa pecahan di dalamnya. Antaranya ialah:

A)Penghasilan bahan pengajaran dan pembelajaran yang baik dan berkesan
Kita ketahui banyak pihak sedang berusaha untuk menghasilkan bahan pengajaran dan pembelajaran ‘e-learning’. Penilaian yang rapi perlu dilaksanakan oleh pentadbir atau guru untuk mencari bahan yang sesuai yang dapat meningkatkan pembelajaran pelajar bagi mengelakkan kerugian atau mendapat bahan yang tidak bermutu serta tidak mencapai kehendak pembelajaran.

B)Screen design issues
Screen design issues perlu dipertimbangkan kerana ianya membantu meningkatkan tahap pembelajaran pelajar. (Clarke: 78, 1992) menyatakan bahawa pelajar membaca 20% hingga 30 % lebih perlahan di atas skrin daripada di atas kertas. Oleh itu, ayat mestilah ringkas dan padat (lapan hingga sepuluh perkataan) Clarke: 79, 1992) juga mencadangkan bahawa warna yang sesuai membantu di dalam mengingat dan menghafal informasi. Selain itu, (Phillip: 79, 1997) mencadangkan bahawa kebanyakan orang telah dilatih untuk membaca bermula dari sudut atas kiri dan bergerak ke sudut kanan di sebelah bawah. Maka maklumat penting mestilah ditunjukkan di bahagian atas skrin manakala maklumat kurang penting di bahagian bawah skrin.

C)Kaedah penyampaian
Kaedah penyampaian juga haruslah dirancang dengan baik supaya pedagogi yang asas tidak dilupakan. Ciri-ciri multimedia seperti audio, video, animasi, grafik dan simulasi harus digunakan dengan bijak untuk meningkatkan pembelajaran

D)Kos Bahan
Kos bahan haruslah setimpal dengan kandungan kualiti dan isi pelajarannya. CD ROM pembelajaran ‘e-learning’ yang original agak mahal dan tinggi. Contohnya ialah Praktis Jaya Smart UPSR Virtual School yang mengandungi CD ROM matapelajaran Sains, Bahasa Melayu dan Matematik yang setiap satunya berharga RM39.90. Ia hanya mampu dimiliki oleh golongan yang berkemampuan, berkomputer atau mereka yang benar-benar mementingkan pelajaran anak-anak mereka. Kelebihannya ialah nota yang ringkas dan padat, beranimasi, warna yang menarik dan soalan pengukuhan beserta jawapan penyelesaian bagi setiap topik. Sekolah-sekolah mempunyai pusat sumber, jadi apa salahnya jika gunakan tabung sekolah untuk membeli CD ROM Intraktif ini dan memberi pinjaman kepada pelajar untuk dibawa balik ke rumah seperti meminjam buku.

E)Educational Learning Management System (ELMaS)
ELMaS ialah satu Perisian Sistem Pengurusan Pembelajaran berasaskan web untuk latihan perguruan. Guru-guru didedahkan dengan pengajaran berasaskan ICT.

Stand Up To Wake Up, Simple As That


There’s been quite a few ingenious alarm clock concepts of late. They all have one thing in common – force you to physically get up to turn them off. The Carpet Alarm Clock is a variation to that whole meme. In order to turn it off, you have to get up and step on it. If you really want to make it a challenge, place it far away from your bed. Of course it wouldn’t be a clock if it didn’t have and LCD screen to indicate time too.
Designer: Sofie Collin & Gustav Lanberg




Pizza scissors





It’s hard to improve the pizza eating experience - but this thing does. Cut and serve piping hot pizza slices without the stringy cheesy messy-ness. Sharp serrated stainless steel scissor blades with a built-in wedge-shaped spatula.

Solar powered Bluetooth headphones


Engineering student Shepeleff Stephen has hit on the obvious with his concept for Bluetooth-enabled headphones that incorporate solar panels into the headband.
The Q-SOUND headphones would not only allow you to listen to music via any Bluetooth-enabled digital audio player, but also would let you take calls on any Bluetooth-enabled cell phone. If your player doesn’t support Bluetooth there is also a 3.5mm jack to allow for a wired connection. The headband is constructed of flexible plastic incorporating amorphous silicon solar cells, while each rubber-based earpiece can be adjusted to fit differently shaped and sized heads.
Two removable NiMH rechargeable batteries, with a capacity of 800mAh and operating voltage of 1.2V, are located within the headband, just above either earpiece, which keep the headphones charged for up to 40 hours. According to Shepeleff, an hour of sunlight should provide more than 2.67 hours of running time for the headphones when operating on maximum volume.
Shepeleff’s futuristic design for the Q-SOUND headphones not only ensures that your music enjoyment is energy-efficient, but also that your projection of detached cool won’t be compromised. Makes us wonder just how long it is before we see something like Shepeleff’s concept crop up in the real world.

POST 5: CONCORDANCE

What is concordance?

A concordance is, according to webmaster's collegiate Dictionary (10th ed), an alphabetical index of the principal words in a book or the word of author with their immediate contents. Then concordances is a piece of software , either installed on a computer or accessed through a website, which can be used to search , access and analyses language from a corpus. It allows us to search a word or phrases for multiple examples of how that word or phrase is used in every text or speech.


What is concordance used for?

*Publish to web

*Creating indexes and word list

*Find phrase and idioms

*Comparing different usages of the same word

*Analyzing keywords

* Analyzing word frequencies


Benefit of concordance to language learners and teachers.


Concordance is very useful to language teachers. By using this software, they can use it as teaching materials for students in the classroom. The benefit of concordance to students is to understand differences uses or meaning of certain words. Certain words have a multiple meanings, so, by using concordance, teachers can take example sentences from a corpus and get the student to group of sentences according to their meaning. For examples, if the students have difficulty with distinctions of meaning between modal, can and could, they can define the meaning using the concordance software. It really helps teachers as well as students to distinguish the right meaning of some words. Next, concordance also helps students to identify their own errors. If students make a collocation error, instead of correcting them by their self, teachers can ask them to put the route word into the concordances software and see if the students can define their own errors. Teachers can get their students to use concordance to find and record their new words or phrases by the words have being used in concordance. If the teachers teach a specific use of a word or phrase, teachers could get the student to make sure the examples that their find matches the use that teacher have taught.

For the language learners, they can use concordance to:-

~ Checking meaning

~ Checking general syntax usage

~ Exploring special lexis

~ Checking derived forms

~ Checking collocates of words
~ Exploring set pieces e.g. phrasal verbs, clichés


Concordance can be a guide line to analysis error and do correction. They can indicate errors in their own writing which can be investigated and corrected by many of concordance. It gives learners specific languages items to investigate and at the same time allows them to work out how their use of languages differs from that of the concordance. Other than that, language learner can use concordance as serendipity learning. Learners can use it as the ways to browse down the word frequently list which must concordances provide.



It looks like browsing the pages of a dictionary. Serendipity learning also gives others benefits such as:

· Learners can truly autonomous and responsible for their own learning


· Can be guaranteed that the learning corresponds to learner needs because searches are leaner-initiated.


· Develop overall language awareness.

POST 4 : CONFERENCE 'BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE'


HAHA





Hello Everyone!

Here I am again for the 4th posting. Last Wednesday (18hb Mac 2009), I have a trip to PNB Darby Park Hotel, Kuala Lumpur for the E-community Conference that is " Seminar E-Komuniti, Merapatkan Jurang Digital: Masyarakat Berpengetahuan , Model Malaysia " with my course mates . Actually this conference was conducted by the knowledgeable speakers from various fields to talk about E-Learning. There is a lot of topic has being discussed but I really attracted to topic about: how blogging can reduce writing apprehension. For me, this topic really interesting because it related to our courses; Language for ICT and give a little bit information about apprehension.




REDUCING WRITING APPREHENSION THROUGH BLOGGING ACTIVITIES



Actually I really didn't know what APPREHENSION is before. But after I listen to this talk by Madam Azianura Hani Shaari from UITM Penang, I know a little bit about it. From what I'm understand about this topic, APPREHENSION is a negative attitudes and perceptions toward writing and prejudice toward their own writing. So what symptoms for this writing apprehension are? Madam Azianura gives 6 symptoms' of writing apprehension. There are:-

- Scared to write
- Hand cramp
- Hate writing
- Mental blocking problems

- Produces a shorted essay
- Ideas hardly developed

There are also some factors that contribute toward a writing apprehension.

Ø Lack confident – some people have a low confident level. This also contributes toward writing apprehension because the person with the low self esteem will scared to write. They have no confident to write something because they scared to get any comment to anybody. Some comment might be encourage them to write and some might be not. So lack of self confident also contributes to these problems.



Ø Teachers' comment - teachers comment also contribute toward writing apprehension. That because, some comments were given maybe will give encouragement to the student but some may not. A bad comment maybe can lose students confident and they become scared to write. In my opinion, I agree that a bad comment maybe can improve their writing skill because they will work hard for it. But in the same times for other students who faced a confident problem, they will feel scared to write because the worried if they get bad comment teachers. But it depends to individual how to define it.



Ø Culture face saving
Ø Proficiently level
Ø Audience
Ø Lack role models
Ø Examination

But weblogs also can help fostering positives writing attitudes. That is:

Promotes brainstorming and peer review activities.


- Students centered
- Face saving – blogging activities allows other people from around world to leave their comment. So by this activities, others people can leave their comment without losing their faces and identity
- Increases involvement among passive students – by blogging, it can increase a participant among students to write online. Passive students can sit and write their ideas by online writing
- Huge audience – writing in the blog it doesn’t means only us in our country will read its. A people from around the world will read it and give comment. By these activities, it will improve our writing and give us chance to share our thought with the other students from different country.
- Boost up confidence and motivation – for me, blogging can push up my confidence level because I can write anything I want. I don’t need to scare to write because no one will know me. So by reading others comment in my blog, its give me motivation to write more and more. That because when others leave their comment, I will give my self reflection too.

** For me, I agree that blogging helps us a lot in writing. But nowadays, I realize that a lot of blogs nowadays using informal language on their writing. Some people said that they more comfortable by using informal language on their online writing like using a short form, slang and trailing dots. Letting them using informal language will give motivation and encouragement to them to continue writing. However, in the same time, it means us letting them to continue their mistakes. I think it better for us to write using a proper language so that we will bring ourselves to be good writer. But every people have their own opinion. I just give my opinion about their topic and I totally agree that blogging can help to reduce writing apprehension problem. ^^^

3rd Posting - Search Engines




Mamma.com is created in 1996 as a master thesis. This site owned and operated by Copernic.Inc. Its provide a variety of engines ,directories, and content sites, compiles their results invirtual database ,eliminates duplicates and display the result in a uniform manner according to relevance. Mamma .com's ability to give a best result that available from search sources because it searches a series of other engine of other search. It likes using many search engines in the same time (including other search engine like yahoo, Google).Mamma.com also searches about jobs, videos, shops, travel, yellow pages and white pages.




Yahoo.com is search engine like mamma.com .Yahoo! search not only web article but its helps user to find an information from the content like news, images, mail (provides free email, picture sharing, spam protection and etc.), maps, travel, music, games, and sport. With Yahoo! Answers, users can find answer from around the web.




Google scholar is an example of a search engine that searches specifically for scholarly literature. It is fast and easy to use and can lead us to hundred of relevance articles. This search engine also same like the others because it is also provides all information about academic. Google scholar can search about article, peer-reviewed journal, and academic books, also academic publishers.




Eric Digest is provides one way to access the ERIC DIGEST that produce by Eric clearing house system. Eric digest are:-
a) Short report (1,000 - 1,500) on topics that related to education field. There are variety of topics was covered. For instance, teaching, learning, libraries, charter school, special education, higher education, home schooling and etc.
b) This site is targeted specifically for teachers, administers, policymakers, and other practitioners and also useful for educational community.


Similarities

From what I'm see, each of these sites have a similarity between each other. Yahoo! Search, Google Scholar and Mamma.com are search engine web. Users can use these four web sites as the search engine to find their information that they need. Other than that, Yahoo! and Google have a same content such as both provide an email account for users. So, users can use this services to exchange their information with other friends spread the world. Last but not least, these entire search engine become an informative tools for user especially student to get their information.

Differences

There are some differences between this four of search engines. For instance, Mamma.com and Eric Digest provided an article that related to the topic only. Both of this search engines have less hit list then Google and Yahoo because they only search information that really-really related to topic and make our work become easier. But for me, Mamma.com is good because it give us a lot of information in the same way. By using metasearch on Mamma.com, it will search a series of search engines from other search in the same times. So, it's faster than other search engines. Mamma.com, Google scholar and eric digest is more on academic search such as journal, literature book and many more .However, Yahoo! Search apply variety services on their pages and not only focused on academic things.

IMPACTS OF BLOGGING...



BLOGGING ARTICLE

Blogging: A Distinct Social Impact
Submitted by mpodlesny
Fri, 7 Dec 2007

Blogging has diligently progressed to the forefront of digital communication in a historically expeditious rate of speed. As early as 1983, threads of message boards dotted the internet with newsworthy postings, including the infamous World Wide Web. By 1994, some were using the web as their daily diary or sounding board.* People began to pay attention. By 1997, these personal homepages became sources of news. Who are we listening to out in cyberspace? It is true that most believe what they read or see on television. After all, these people have our best interest at heart! Don’t they? Or is there an agenda they serve of their own? The dangers of a world of information and socializing through blogging can leave a questionable impact that’s left to be decided.

The daily diaries of 1997 soon spread from journals of self-satisfying thoughts to a belief that people were actually interested in things they said. And many were. The web world grew from personal blogging to videos, thus the webcam. Soon the legal and corporate world began to hire bloggers. The question remained in some of our eyes, what kind of person would post their life for all to see? Or was it their life they were posting?

The immediate fears of children and teens in the blogging world are an ongoing debate. In the eyes of the teen, cyberspace has become a text heaven, taking the place of baby boomers talking on the phone. In the eyes of the parent, the teen is foreboding prey of the parasites feeding on the innocent lying in wait on the end of a text from a “friend” accepted. The law seems to stay one step behind the predator in these cases and children stay one step in front of the parent in finding the scum. The latest threat to servers funneling porn into our lives for not reporting the culprit sets them back about $300,000.00, while the child porn business is a $5 billion business. with 95% of their customers from the U.S.** This social impact that has taken the younger generation into places their parents never thought of falling is all brought to us by the wonderful world of blogging.

In our latest Presidential race, blogging has given the voting public a progressive, new look at candidates they never considered in the past. Overnight, Ron Paul became a viable candidate, when most didn’t recognize his name the day before. Isn’t this a questionable way to choose a person we are to trust with our country? If enough people get on the web and blog an interest, I could become President. People are too busy to research candidates themselves, so they take the word of bloggers, who may also be the predators that are on your children’s bedroom computers.
In defense of the world we have created on the web, we have the opportunity to learn, prosper, and discover the world at our fingertips. Students have a wealth of knowledge, while we can stay at home and do everything from graduate from college to shop at our favorite stores. The positives are abundant and obvious, while the negatives hide and pop out at us while we enjoy the good.

We’ve grown full circle from allowing television the right to tell us what to believe, where to shop, and what to buy. We now have any Tom, Dick, or Harry into our lives by means of the web, as we shop and educate ourselves and think we are minding our own business. Blogging is a distinct and valid social impact on the world and decidedly so. The positive aspect is there are signs of boredom in the blogging world; soon there will be another source for the intruder. Maybe one day we will have a mind of our own and use it.
