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,

Maaf dipinta silap bicara,

Dalam masa gurau dan senda,

Hati terobek dek kerana kaca,

Tutur bicara yang menikam sukma...

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

Practice’.

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

same spider has been crawling up the

same water spout for two hundred

years!”

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Diana—Lea Baranovich

shared with the Child Development class

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.

Organization

We’re on the Web!

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.
