Lecture 6 (25/5/09)

Firstly we are asked to write down our personal details and answer some questions regarding education. At the final part, we are asked to draw a tree and write down our date of birth. Our lecturer wanted to relate our personalities with the drawing and the date we were born. Below are the questions asked:

1. Mengapa ingin menjadi cikgu?
2. Guru yang anda paling suka dan sebabnya.
3. Guru yang anda benci dan sebabnya.
4. Apakah tugasan seorang guru? (Lecturer’s answer: Knowledge sharing between the teachers and their students. It happens in two ways.)

Secondly, we are asked to work in pairs to discuss on one of the presentation during the Seminar Pendidikan Serantau that we attended last week (19-5-09 to 21-05-09). After the discussion with our partner, our lecturer asked few of the students to present their discussion in front of the class and she gave comments which increase the understanding of action research among us. Below is the result of discussion between my partner and I. We are required to discuss from 4 aspects which are what, how, why and the procedures of the research.
