Assalamualaikum kalam bermadah,
Berbicara tentang masa yang sudah,
Suasana hiba mendatang telah,
Memori bersama Kak Prof Dr Rohaida...
Angka 60 menjelang tiba,
Tidak diundur biarpun seketika,
Sampai seru meletakkan pena,
Tiga dekad begitu lama...
Cahaya liput serata alam,
Anak didik membawa salam,
Ilmu disebar dengan kalam,
Kini menjadi sejarah silam...
Kenangan bersama mengusik rindu,
Kini menjadi medan pilu,
Biarpun tiada ratap sendu,
Hati di dalam Allah jua tahu...
Hidup ibarat putaran roda,
Putaran berlegar mengikut masa,
Hari ini Kanda Rohaida,
Lain ketika kami menyusul pula...
Maaf dipinta silap bicara,
Dalam masa gurau dan senda,
Hati terobek dek kerana kaca,
Tutur bicara yang menikam sukma...
“Tuai padi antara

MOVING TOWARDS INCLUSIVE EDUCATION: GLOBAL VOICES
ARE WE CLEAR WITH
INCLUSIVE EDUCATION?
Vishalache Balakrishnan
Inclusive Education has been in
existence for decades, yet when
it is brought up in Malaysia and
many parts of the world, focus is
narrowed down to physically
impaired individuals.
Through individuals who think
alike and differently, a project on
researching on the diverse
national engagements with
paradoxes of policy and practices
was initiated in 2014. It was a
long and tedious journey which
brought scholars from all six
continents together; to research
and share global voices on
inclusive education.
Scholars were from New
Zealand, the USA, Poland, Brazil,
the Netherlands, Australia,
M o n g o l i a , T a i w a n , a n d
Bangladesh and Malaysia. They
shared their years of involvement
in inclusive education and why the new
understanding of inclusive education should
reach out to every global citizen in this 21 st
century.
The foundation of this project is the 1994
Salamanca Statement which focused on
principles, policies, and practices in inclusive
education. Focus is on the fundamental right
to education, the unique characteristics,
interest, abilities and learning needs, wide
diversity of characteristics and needs of every
child, access for special educational needs
children and regular schools with an inclusive
orientation that combats discriminatory
attitudes.
After seven whole years of communication
and inclusiveness, the project ended
successfully with a publication entitled Moving
towards Inclusive Education: Diverse National
Engagements with Paradoxes of Policy and
Practice.
It is once in a life experience to publish an
inclusive material that included global voices
in their own cultural tone and freedom.
The United Nations’ Global Education 2030
Agenda (UNESCO, 2015) is part of a
worldwide movement through 17 Sustainable
Goals. This project is dedicated to Goal 4
which aims to ensure inclusive and equitable
quality education and promote lifelong
learning opportunities for all.
“ the project
ended successfully
with a publication
entitled ‘Moving
towards Inclusive
Education: Diverse
National
Engagements with
Paradoxes of
Policy and

OVERARCHING GOALS IN TEACHING
“Let’s sing the Incy Wincy Spider song. I
bet everybody would have jumped in and
sang in the same way. However, that

on how to unlock the learning, the thinking
process, and the experience of the
child by incorporating overarching goals
in music and movement.
“There’s at least two hundred places and
ways the spider can crawl. Moreover, it
does not have to be incy wincy, it could have
been a great big one. There is so much learning
and creativity that can go into that
song.”

UMFRDC-MOH NRPA Training Consultancy
Article by: Associate Professor Dr Rafidah Aga Mohd Jaladin
The Director of University of Malaya Family
Research and Development Centre
(UMFRDC) has been invited by the National
Pharmacy Regulatory Agency (NPRA) of the
Ministry of Health to conduct a 2-day
workshop on the management of emotional
crisis to their staff at their vicinity. The
course was conducted on 17 and 18
September 2020 and its duration was 16
hours, and the contents covered 8 modules.
A total of 30 participants took part in the
workshop. The objectives of the course
were to educate participants on the psychology of
emotion and stress as well as to train them in the
management of excessive emotions and stress,
especially in the workplace. On the first day of the
training, participants were introduced to the
concept and theories of emotion, stress, and job
stress. They also learnt some useful tools to
assess and screen their stress level. Most
activities were brief lectures, group discussions,
and fun quizzes.
On the second day of the training, a more
action-oriented approach was used.
Participants were introduced to some
strategies and techniques in managing
emotion and stress such as therapeutic
journaling, deep relaxation technique, and
modern tai chi, among others. The day was
filled up with lots of practical activities and the
participants enjoyed themselves while learning
the self-care strategies in combating bad
stress.
Indeed, negative emotions and excessive
stress need to be understood well before they
can be effectively handled. It is not stress that
kills us but it is our reactions to it. Quoting Hans
Selye, a prominent scholar who introduced a GAS
theory of stress,
“Adopting the right attitude can convert a
negative stress into a positive one.”
UMFRDC aspires to organize and conduct more
professional training for the general public and
professional/non-professional workers. For 2021,
more programs and activities will be conducted
with a special focus on family development
program.

Sejauh manakah keberkesanannya?
Pembudayaan Norma Baharu Pembelajaran Dalam Talian
“Ada kelas hari ni?” “Ehh, kamu belajar ke?” “Line putus-putus, saya tak dapat join kelas,
cikgu”. “Dari 35 orang pelajar hanya 5 orang masuk google classroom pagi ni!” “Maaf, saya
tak dapat buka kamera komputer sebab wifi tak stabil”, “Dr, minggu ni saya tak dapat masuk
kelas, data internet saya habis”
Penyataan diatas mewakil beribu-ribu suara pertanyaan atau keluhan yang sentiasa dilontarkan
baik dalam kalangan pelajar, ibu bapa mahupun guru tentang pembelajaran dalam talian. Fenomena ini berlaku
implikasi daripada penularan wabak COVID-19. Masyarakat baik di Malaysia mahupun dunia
menyaksikan satu perubahan drastik dalam amalan, cara hidup serta tingkah laku sejak bermulanya pandemic
COVID-19. Hampir keseluruhan aspek kehidupan manusia di dunia mengalami perubahan dan memberi
impak terhadap sosial, ekonomi dan politik. Impaknya, masyarakat mula mengadaptasi norma baharu
kehidupan yang perlu ditempuhi dalam usaha membendung penularan wabak COVID-19.
Sektor pendidikan juga tidak terkecuali, bermula dari peringkat rendah sehinggalah institusi pendidikan
tinggi mengalami kesan langsung akibat penularan wabak COVID-19. Di Malaysia, bermula Mac
2020, para pendidik baik di prasekolah sehinggalah ke institusi pendidikan tinggi mula beralih kepada
pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam talian berbanding secara bersemuka di dalam bilik darjah atau dewan
kuliah. Norma baharu dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam talian terus disesuaikan menerusi pelbagai
platform seperti Google Classroom, Zoom, Microsoft Team, Telegram Whatsap dan sebagainya agar
pelajar tidak ketinggalan dalam proses pembelajaran. Menerusi pengumuman terbaharu oleh Kementerian
Pendidikan Malaysia pada 8 November 2020 tentang penutupan sekolah sehingga hujung tahun ini, suasana
pembelajaran dalam talian terus mendapat perhatian masyarakat khususnya guru, pelajar dan ibu bapa terhadap
keberkesanan perlaksanannya dalam konteks pendidikan di Malaysia.
Hakikat menyedari bahawa perubahan
bentuk pengajaran dan pembelajaran secara
bersemuka dalam bilik darjah secara fizikal
kepada dunia maya oleh guru dan pelajar semestinya
suatu norma baharu kehidupan yang sukar
untuk diadapatasi dan memerlukan proses
penyesuaian yang agak panjang. Tambahan pula
ianya berlaku secara drastik dan dalam jangka
masa yang terlalu cepat. Ini, pastinya mendatangkan
cabaran besar kepada para pensyarah,
guru dan pelajar untuk menyesuaikan diri
dengan norma baharu persekolahan pandemic
COVID-19. Persoalannya berkesankah pengajaran
dan pembelajaran dalam talian? Sejauh
manakah pelajar dapat belajar dan menguasai
pembelajaran yang disampaikan secara dalam
talian?
Isu dan Permasalahan Pembelajaran Dalam
Talian
Jika kita teliti isu dan cabaran pembelajaran dalam
talian ini dalam konteks pendidikan di Malaysia,
kajian yang dijalankan oleh pihak Kementerian Pendidikan
Malaysia antara 28 Mac 2020 hingga 2 April 2020
mendapati 36.9% pelajar tidak mempunyai peranti bagi
pembelajaran dalam talian. Justeru, kebimbangan ibu
bapa, guru dan masyarakat amnya terhadap
keberkesanan pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam
talian ada asasnya. Tambahan pula, kajian tinjauan oleh
pihak NUTP (Kesatuan Perkhidmatan Perguruan Kebangsaan
Malaysia) pada Mei 2020 terhadap 10,453
orang guru mendapati bahawa guru dan pelajar
menghadapi pelbagai isu dan cabaran dalam proses
pembelajaran dan pengajaran dalam talian yang meliputi
kemudahan internet, kekekangan peranti, peralatan
komputer, kemahiran guru terhadap aplikasi pembelajaran
dalam talian dan prasarana digital. Permasalahan ini
secara tidak langsung boleh membantutkan proses pembelajaran
dan pengajaran dalam talian jika tindakan
proaktif dan efisyen tidak segera dilaksanakan.
Page 13
Justeru dalam membudayakan norma baharu
pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam talian proses pengajaran
dan pembelajaran guru perlu bersifat dinamik, kreatif dan
fleksibel. Keprihatian serta tindakan inovatif guru-guru dalam
mendepani isu dan cabaran seperti kemudahan internet,
ketiadaan peranti, liputan rendah serta kekangan peralatan
komputer untuk pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam talian
antara elemen penting keberkesanan pembelajaran dalam
talian. Ini kerana, jika permasalahan ini dibiarkan berlarutan,
proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran mungkin terjejas
dan memberi kesan negatif kepada pembelajaran pelajar dan
komitmen guru baik dari segi psikologi, emosi mahupun
pencapaian akademik pelajar.
Selain itu, dalam membudayakan norma baharu
pembelajaran dalam talian para pelajar, guru mahupun pensyarah
berhadapan dengan isu untuk merangka perancangan
P&P sistematik dan ianya sama sekali berbeza daripada P&P
bersemuka baik dari segi penyampaian pengajaran, bahan
pengajaran, pengelolaan aktiviti P&P dalam talian mahupun
proses pentaksiran dan penilaian. Sekali lagi, guru mahupun
pensyarah berhadapan dengan cabaran untuk melaksanakan
pedagogi dalam talian. Proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran
dalam talian pastinya berbeza dengan secara fizikal.
Bagaimanakah guru dapat mengawal tingkah laku pelajar
semasa pembelajaran dalam talian? Bagaimana guru dapat
mempelbagaikan bentuk aktiviti pengajaran dan pembelajaran
dalam talian? Apakah bentuk pembelajaran aktif yang
sesuai dilaksanakan oleh guru semasa dalam talian? Persoalan-persoalan
berhubung kait dengan kemahiran guru mengaplikasikan
pembelajaran dalam talian dan kompetensi guru
terhadap aplikasi digital dan teknologi pengajaran.
Pembudayaan Norma
Baharu Pembelajaran
Dalam
Talian
Usaha membudayakan pembelajaran dalam
talian, kesedaran dan tindakan proaktif pensyarah, guru
dan pelajar untuk meneroka, mencuba dan penyesuaian
pedekatan serta pedagogi baharu baik dalam bentuk aplikasi
digital mahupun teknologi pengajaran serta perisian
tertentu amat diperlukan. Ini kerana ia dapat meminimakan
kekangan yang wujud semasa proses pengajaran
dan pembelajaran dalam talian. Penghayatan dan pemahaman
pelajar, guru dan pensyarah tentang pengajaran dan
pembelajaran dalam talian secara langsung dapat meningkatkan
keupayaan guru untuk lebih kreatif dan inovatif
semasa proses penyampaian pengajaran dan pembelajaran
dalam talian. Sedar atau tidak, keupayaan guru untuk
meningkatkan kompetensi dan kemahiran digital khususnya
aplikasi teknologi pengajaran masa kini memberi
impak positif terhadap hasil pembelajaran pelajar.
Justeru Ibu bapa, guru, pensyarah serta pelajar
perlu sedar dan faham bahawa konsep pembelajaran dalam
talian meliputi 3 bentuk pembelajaran iaitu pembelajaran
segerak, pembelajaran tak segerak dan pembelajaran luar
talian. Maka untuk memastikan proses pengajaran dan
pembelajaran berkesan, pensyarah dan guru perlu kreatif
dan inovatif dalam mengaplikasikan ketiga-tiga bentuk
pembelajaran ini. Secara logiknya, proses pengajaran dan
pembelajaran dalam talian mampu menjadi lebih efektif
dan berkesan apabila diadunkan bersama2 atau mengikut
kesesuaian atas kekangan kebolehcapaian internet,
keterbatasan peranti dan kemudahan teknologi serta
kemudahan dan prasarana digital yang dihadapi. Kebijaksanaan
pensyarah dan guru memilih dan mengadunkan
bentuk pembelajaran dalam talian ini dapat meminimakan
kekangan yang wujud dan seterusnya mengoptimumkan
hasil pembelajaran pelajar.
Oleh yang demikian, gerakan membudayakan
pembelajaran dalam talian hanya akan berjaya sekiranya
pelajar, guru dan pensyarah komited terhadap setiap sesi
pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam talian. Selain
meningkatkan kompetensi digital, pensyarah, guru dan
pelajar perlu lebih berani untuk meneroka, mencuba dan
membiasakan diri dengan norma baharu pembelajaran
dalam talian dan seterusnya memperbaiki diri dalam setiap
ruang dan peluang yang ada untuk kemahiran pedagogi
pembelajaran dalam talian.
Walau bagaimanapun situasinya hari ini, kita
yakin bahawa, proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam
talian yang telah berlangsung, kini memasuki fasa
baharu. Para pelajar, guru dan pensyarah telah mempunyai
pengalaman dan kesediaan untuk menyesuaikan diri
dengan norma baharu pembelajaran dalam talian berbanding
seawal pelaksanaanya di bulan Mac 2020. Pastinya
kebijaksanaan guru, komitmen pelajar dan sokongan
‘stakeholder’ pendidikan akan dapat meminimakan impak
negatif daripada pembelajaran dalam talian Maka,
dah sampai masanya untuk mewujudkan kerjasama kukuh
antara pihak guru, sekolah, ibu bapa dan seluruh
stakeholder pendidikan dalam usaha membudayakan
Norma Baharu Pembelajaran Dalam Talian.

This would be a good place to insert a short
paragraph about your organization. It might include
the purpose of the organization, its mission,
founding date, and a brief history. You
could also include a brief list of the types of
products, services, or programs your organization
offers, the geographic area covered (for
example, western U.S. or European markets),
and a profile of the types of customers or members
served.
It would also be useful to include a contact
name for readers who want more information
about the organization.
Back Page Story Headline
Caption describing picture or graphic.
This story can fit 175-225
words.
If your newsletter is folded
and mailed, this story
will appear on the back.
So, it’s a good idea to
make it easy to read at a
glance.
A question and answer
session is a good way to
quickly capture the attention
of readers. You can
either compile questions
that you’ve received since
the last edition or you can
summarize some generic
questions that are frequently
asked about your
organization.
A listing of names and
titles of managers in your
organization is a good
way to give your newsletter
a personal touch. If
your organization is small,
you may want to list the
names of all employees.
If you have any prices of
standard products or
services, you can include
a listing of those here.
You may want to refer
your readers to any other
forms of communication
that you’ve created for
your organization.
You can also use this
space to remind readers
to mark their calendars
for a regular event, such
as a breakfast meeting
for vendors every third
Tuesday of the month, or
a biannual charity auction.
If space is available, this
is a good place to insert a
clip art image or some
other graphic.
