Zaman Dah Berubah Cikgu!

Assalamualaikum ...

Ive been in Kelantan for almost one month ...
Sambil2 tak ada kerja, I did my charity project ...
I teach at one of the sekolah harian, 2-3pm, weekdays, form 4 students, Modern Maths ...

I amazed when 'my students' used the Scientific Calculator in class ...
Compared to my scool days before, we just used the normal calculator ...
Simple, Priceless and hahahaha tak nampak canggih langsung!

I amazed!

The first topic was STANDARD FORM ... in BM dah lupadah ...
(I learn in BM anyway ... spm 2002)
Ajar punya ajar ...
I found out one thing ...

My students, are a little bit slow when I ask them to 'congak' some of the simple calculation ... like ... 76 - 18? 27 - 13? 8 X 7? ... and they do have intention to still use the calculator! huhuhuhu so pity!

My second topic was QUADRATIC EQUATION ...
If you are a science student, in SPM, this topic is sooooo easy (in Modern Maths)...
Since this chapter is in Modern Maths, and all of them do learn the Add Maths ...
I think that they will conquer this topic well ...
As usual, I found out that ...

My students, they still 100% rely on calculator ...
They really really and really doesn't sure on how to solve the questions manually ...
Thats not a big problem anyway ...

But the most annoying thing is, they do rely on calculator and I found out they become lambat pickup to calculate simple thing without calculator ...

When I speak 'out loud' to them about this matter ...
Their answer goes ... ZAMAN DAH BERUBAH CIKGU!!!

Now, this Scientific Calculator become a virus to them ...
Same goes to our 'lovely' Handphone ...
How many of us remember/memorize at least 25 phone numbers in their mind?
So do I ... no ... FAILED!

Huhuhu ... what happen to our education system?
Easir and simpler today ... the outcome? ... COMPLICATED GENERATION!

Assalamualaikum ...

  2. yup..you are absolutely right..technology sometimes will be the virus in enhancing one capabilities..its will limit our ability and skill indirectly without we realize it..that the fact of our current education system now..its good to have a supporting materials for the course but when we are too rely or depend too much to such a thing then its become the shortcoming of the learning process..

    Last time, I tought English Language (form3) for free!!~
    Every each of them rely on dictionary.. Not really rely but very hard to use the dictionary even each of them got it in front of them!! Even the simplest word which the primary student can easyly asnwer, THEY DIDN'T KNOW THE MEANING...

    I always wondering.. How Malays in a few years coming...
    They said they studied hardly, but they rely on calculator... they said they studied very hard, while they hate to open their dictionary..

Kalori Diet?

Assalamualaikum ... Aku ingatlah kan yang blog aku ni sejak aku post cerite cerite seharian takde orang nak baca. Ada jugak ye? Insyaallah aku akan terus menulis!  Hari ni aku sibuk dok kire kalori.  Nak kurus!!!  Korang tahu tak sejak aku buat pembedahan masa zaman kanak kanak baru akil baligh dulu aku punye berat naik membuak buak!  Maka selepas balik ke Malaysia pada tahun 2013 rasanya. Aku start berdiet. Atkins diet. Dalam masa 2 bulan berjaya!!! 20 kilo turun.  Dari berat 99 ke almost 77. Bayangkan, masuk Uniqlo boleh pilih je. Pilih je!!!  Saiz XXL dulu skang masuk M jek.  Tapi bila aku berhenti kerja, travel selama sebulan then masuk company baru, bermulalah diet yo-yo. Berat naik balik tapi takdelah seberat 98. Tapi this time better sebab aku dah fit!  Nak start balik Atkins sedikit malas. Memang biasa sebenarnya, untuk korang yang nak start diet, 2 - 3 minggu memang tak leh nak on track lagi.  ...

Marine Engineering Bridging Program

Assalamualaikum ... DONE! It would be the best word to describe when I'm done my 2-year training ... 2 years isn't easy path for me to walk through ... Last week, I get back home after a few weeks struggle for my exams ... Theory exam (Oral Exam) at MARDEP Port Kelang ... MSCR exam (Marine Survical Craft & Rescue) at ALAM Melaka ... and a few courses before and after the exams ... Alhamdulillah ... I passed all the exams ... Now, it is the time for me to apply for my CoC (Certificate of Competency) ... 2 years back ... I remembered when one of the staff from my company said ... 'Your Degree is Useless ... You can burn it!' Phewwww! Just put yourself in my shoes ... :p When I was onboard ship ... Some peoples discriminate me and my buddy ... Just because we have a piece of paper ... B.eng Mechanical is nothing to them ... But then, its something to us ... A few cadets argued about how much we earned per month ... Nothing he shared with us ... Help with hidden agenda ...
