week three ~ ADDIE & ASSURE. who are they???

      This is the third week for this semester. As the last two week, I cannot wait for the next class. As the class started, we had been reminded to finish our first assignment which producing the video clip. I am struggling to try my best to produce a good and useful video clip for my audiences as this is my first time to explore and use movie maker. I am zero and do not know how to use it. Yet, I asked my friends to help me.

            After that, Miss Chin gave her lecture about two models which are ADDIE and ASSURE model. These models are model of learning process which can be implemented in our teaching and learning process.

 Analysis                                             Analyze   

Design                                                State

Development                  vs              Select methods, media & material

Implementation                               Utilize media & materials

Evaluation                                         Require learner participation

                                    Evaluate & revise

 

 

            In order to use this model, the first step is we have to analyse our students learning problem, the goal and objectives of our lesson, audience’s need and existing knowledge. I think that 1st step is very important because without we know our students’ problem, we just teach on what we want to teach without considering their problem. For example, if students still not acquire with the previous lesson, but then we have proceeded with new lesson, it might be difficult for them acquire the lesson. Besides, with goal and objective, it will lead our lesson. So, our lesson will have focus and will be on the right track. In addition, the impact is on the students themselves as they can gain the knowledge better. After we analyse their problem and our goal, it help us to guide our lesson in order to equip with students’ need and suit with their prior knowledge. Students’ prior knowledge will help us to prepare lesson that make them participate actively. For instance, we have to prepare lesson that familiar like daily life situation because they can use their existing knowledge and know the clear picture on what we want to teach.

            For the second step, designing our objective more specifically will help us to expect more what we want from our students. So, we can get more information whether they understand the lesson or not by giving our expectation in our objective of the lesson. In addition, the lesson’s flow will be design I this step. It makes our lesson runs smoothly as we have design the aids. The third step is, development phase. We develop and design what teaching materials that we want to use for our lesson. Then, it makes we prepare well for our lesson complete with the aids.

 

            For the implementation, this is when we apply our plan. We teach students based on what we have prepared earlier by using teaching aids. I think that teaching aids are important for a teacher to assist her lesson. However, it is depends on her if she wants to use the teaching materials throughout the whole lesson or only on certain stage of lesson. The last stage isevaluation where we evaluate our students’ progression after we have conveyed the lesson. It can be done it in immediate feedback by asking questions or from our observation. the another way is by having summative or formative evaluation like monthly test.  For me, evaluation is very important as it gives us feedback on what we have taught. If the students cannot acquire the lesson, maybe we can reteach or give remedial activities. And for the good students, we can give enrichment activities. All these actions make students understand the lesson vividly.

 

 

SECOND WEEK LECTURE

This is the second week in this course. After I had attended the first lecture, it made excited to study in this course. This is because I found that this is one way for me to use technology for my students. My lecturer, Prof Maznah reminded us that effective planning is important as it can ensure effective teaching. Actually, before she gave the reminder, I took for granted the use of technology. I thought we can use technology just like that without considering our audience @ students. Thanks to her as she claimed that there are three purposes for us in order to apply technologies which are to inform, to teach skills and to influence the students. I realized that we have to consider all these three things so that our intention can be sent to students.

 

          The first assignment has been given last week. We have uploaded the information in ADEC in terms of title, target group, subject and so on. So, this week we have to tell to our lecturer and tutors on what we want to do. We have to produce a 3 minute video. It is excited as this is one step for us to design our own video. We have to work in group of five. This is my group member

  • Nurul Husna Mohd Taher
  • Nurulhuda Ghani
  • Komathi
  • Kasthuri
  • Siti Suhaili =)

 

It is considered as group work but each one of us got opportunity to produce the video. In group, we have to brainstorm our idea and think together on how to make effective video. We are lucky to have Prof Maznah and the tutors as they help a lot in our assignment. They will read our topic and learning objectives so that we will be in the right track and our objectives can be achieved.

A new day has begun!!!

PKEY 3101 - Technology in Primary Education is a new subject for me for this semester. Before entering this class, I’ve set my mind that “Yes! This is the class that I really want to enter”. Why is it so? I think this is the only opportunity for me to learn more everything about technology. This is due to the lack of time to register for any technology courses and it is quite costly to enter that course. If I want to learn it by myself like asking for my friends’ help and exploring the technology independently, I think it is not enough as personally I think that formal education is important in order to gain the wider knowledge about technology. There is one thing that also makes me wonder which is who will be taught us for this subject. Nobody knew who she is until she introduced herself.Prof Dr Raja Maznah bt Raja Hussein. In this subject, we will learn about how we are going to integrate technology in our teaching and learning activity. As a new teacher going to be, we should creative and not just depend on chalk and blackboard. Am I right? However, for this first lecture, Prof Dr Raja Maznah has suggested us to be a SMART teacher in order to teach young learners by building the skills through P.L.E.A.S.E. After I’m looking back at the concept of PLEaSE, I could say that teacher should design activities that make pupils engange and try the activities by themselves.
# How technology is going to affect how your students are going to be learning?

If I had to answer this question 10 years ago, I would say that technology would not affect the teaching and learning process so much. This is because the technology is not as advanced as nowadays. Teacher just relies on the traditional methods like teaching aids, cue cards, posters and etc. But, if I’m a primary school student in 2008, I really hope that my teacher will use any kind of technology in our lesson. Personally, I do not want to be left. Honestly, I think technology is very important as the globalization is changing rapidly. Advance country like Japan is few steps forward than us. The impact is not just for us but also for the students.
By applying technology in our class, some information that cannot be shown directly to the students, can give them opportunity to ‘look’ at it. For example, if we want to teach repeating pattern, we can show the video of traffic light, the day and night phenomena and etc. Hence, the students can understand better the concept of repetition and our lesson will become smoothly. Is it rite?

# How you as a teacher will be learning?

Of course I want to improve my knowledge about technology. I’m quite jealous with one of my friends as he has used internet since he was 8 years old.(yes, Joshua. It’s you =p) this subject really gives me opportunity to gain more knowledge. I’m lucky because I have Prof Dr Raja Maznah as my lecturer and the facilitators that going to me. I also have a lot of friends that very expert in this field. Thanks to you guys =) I hope I can learn more from all of you.
