::SPICE::

HAVE U HEARD ABOUT "SPICE"??

I DONT THINK SO!..heh

Well this week 9....it was the week when we had our first lecturer with

Prof. Madya Dr. Rohaida..replacing Mr. Fauzi.

Honestly i was a bit worried, and nervous...getting to know our new lecturer.

she's fine, her first lectures capture my attention because she introduce to us on the new topic which is  "Instructional Design Theories"...i have heard instructional design but with theories..its new to me :)

"Instructional Design Theories is meant for "the explicit guidance on how to better help pupils' learning and development".... It can be either based on the Behaviourist or Cognitivist or even both"

she had explain in detail what were the theories all about...then she had continued on:

SPicE Instructional Design Model.

In this model, she stated 7 steps in the SPicE Instructional Design Model


1.Identify target audience
2.Identify instructional needs
3.Analyze instructional strategy
4.Performance objective
5.Design strategy for instruction
6.Develop instructional materials 
7.Conduct formative evaluation

There were task given by DR, it was quite tough especially if 

we don't understand what is "sPICE"..

till then..

chaiyokkk!!!

success always

::simulated teaching yeayy !! first evER!!::

simulated teaching???

it's very common nowadays to me..:)

As future teacher doing simulated teaching is like eating vegetables each and everyday. We are used to it, we practice and practice until we feel we wanted to puke...but then it's for our own good its preparing me for my future teaching my own groups of pupils..

WOW!! how amazing is that!! i never thought that i can be a teacher someday.

BUT............

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DOING MY SIMULATED TEACHING IN "SCIENCE"....

It has been four years..but it's my first time...

WHAT I CAN SAY is....PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!!

I have to agree on that!

my simulated teaching went well..syukur alhamdulillah..

ouh..yeah!! not to forget..as teacher in general..we dont just teach but we teach with ethusiasm..we are able to detect if the teacher are well prepared for the lesson or not.

We should always bear in mind that we need to think of plan B whenever possible so that we wont panic when things just dont go the way we had planned it.[teacher needs to be spontanious]

Alrite enough of me mumblings

till then

critic science software

let's ponder on the title of my blog...

yup

yupp...i think most of the silent reader would be asking

why most of my blog entries is related to science...

well, its my minor subject..

as for this sem its all about technology and how we as science teacher manipulate the available courseware or software on  the internet etc..

what are the criteria we need to look for before we proceed in using it as a teaching and learning process.

through this "critics session on the software presented by each group", i finally realized how important it is as teacher to apply "HOTs-higher order thinking skills while commenting on the software chosen.

We need to be aware of the content wise since it will be used in Malaysia context. the content in the software may not be applicable for teh pupils in Malaysia.

Besides the content, the interface of the website for sure it must be "user friendly"it must be creatively develop which means it will be able to capture pupils attention. 

all in all, this session is an eye opener to me as well to my groupmates!!

to all my friends...u guys did a great job....in presenting your findings and the comments are motivational!!
