dont know what title should i put here..haha~


when i went through my classmates' blog, i found that i'm the one that very 'skema' here..
i'm just talking about the things that we have learned in class and adding some ideas of mine.
no other extra information or story and something like that..quite boring right? haha..




so how? do i have to put something that not related to the class but actually good for all of us as future teacher?? heemm..wait..if i have time or idea what to put in here..*malas melampau* *rajin bah*







today, as usual, we have to do some presentation in front of the class about teaching approaches. And my group was presenting about contextual learning.





Contextual learning suggests that learning takes place when learner can make connection between their prior knowledge with the situation they are facing. or the other way around which is connecting between new information and experiences they have had, or with other knowledge they have already mastered! simply say, students can make sense of new knowledge by processing it in their own frames of references.

according to contextual learning, students discover meaningful relationships between abstract ideas and practical applications in the real world; concepts are internalized through the process of discovering, reinforcing and relating.


five essential form of learning according to contextual learning.




ok..done!

::thinking skills~

after a week of CNY break..now im back posting something about what we have learned in science method class this morning. if in the week before break, we have discussed about scientific skills, today we have covered about thinking skills.


thinking skills is actually a mental process to integrate knowledge. it is a foundation of thoughtful learning. thoughtful learning emphasis on thinking process during receiving knowledge.

thinking skills can be divided into two which are critical thinking and creative thinking.

critical thinking is a thinking process which students have to evaluate the new ideas in systematic order before accepting it.

creative thinking is a thinking process that needs high imagination and ability to modify new idea. it enhance some idea to become better. creative thinking is use in solving problem which requires a lot of ideas.
