teaching style, standing or seated is better?

I never thought a teacher standing in front of class, walking and moving around class plays a greater effect in teaching compared to a seated teacher. After attending a workshop about teaching and learning, I implied what the speaker told us regarding this matter.

I tried standing longer than before. I could feel the difference. Truly, it took more energy, but within me myself, I felt more enthusiast. I can see my students clearer. I can see whether they were busy with their phones or looking blurry towards me.

During exercise session, I wandered around the class, which I never had done it before. Surprisingly, some of my students raised up their hands asking me to come to them and check on their answers. They also asked me about uncertain things they were facing.

Clearly, this style of teaching can help students better in understanding. They will also feel closer to their teacher and happy for the attention given.

after quote must start with capital letter, although it is in the middle of sentence.
Saying will always be in the present although it was already said, like the prophet's saying.. we say, prophet says ..not said.

A month in USAS

It’s almost a month since the day I started working here in USAS. Many asked me how my career was going. I can say, I love being here. The workload is bearable, and I love my career. I truly learnt a lot through teaching. My students sometimes gave me questions that were testing my knowledge. When I got questions that I didn’t know how to answer, I asked them to find out themselves when they get home. Little did they know; their teacher had stumbled over their questions. The matter didn’t stop there, I took the questions as a homework. I studied and asked my former lecturer to receive a definite answer.

Another thing is, I would like to tell you guys about my dean named Dr. Roslan. On my second week of working, I had a lengthy conversation with him. He proposed that I further my study in the US. It never crossed my mind the United State will be a place to continue my studies. I had planned to take my Phd overseas like in Turkey, Brunei, Qatar, or a few other Arab countries, but not in the West. Dr. Roslan had broadened my view and assured me that I will love studying, working and even staying in the US for my whole life.

The most interesting thing was, he bet his life that I will come back to Malaysia as the first one who has a deep knowledge in Middle East studies. He couldn’t describe to me the methodology was studied there, but I could feel the distinction from his shiny eyes. I wish I have a chance to seek the knowledge there and prove all his claims.

TUGAS PENSYARAH

Tugas utama seorang pensyarah ada 5 perkara:

1. Pengajaran

2. Penyelidikan

3. Penulisan

4. Penerbitan

5. Kemasyarakatan

Yang membezakan profesion seorang pensyarah dan seorang guru ialah pada perkara ke-2 hingga 4.

Pensyarah perlu fokus utk menghasilkan penyelidikan-penyelidikan untuk kenaikan pangkat dan juga untuk dikenali.

Dalam satu minggu, kita bekerja selama 40 jam. Tugas mengajar selalunya dalam 18-21 jam seminggu. Baki masa yang kita duduk di pejabatlah perlu diluangkan untuk melakukan kajian dan penyelidikan.

40jam -21jam = 19jam

Adaikata masa yg kita guna untuk membuat kertas soalan, merancang P&P kita ambil masa sehingga 10 jam seminggu.. kita masih mempunya 9 jam seminggu.

jadi paling kurang(sekurang-kurangnya) satu jam perlu diperuntukkan untuk merancang, membaca dan menulis penyelidikan.

Kuncinya ialah disiplin. Jangan membuang masa balik ke rumah, pergi pasar, sibuk dgn urusan anak dsb. DISIPLIN.

kalau ditanya pensyarah yg mendapat title proffesor ada umur 35 apa rahsianya? rahsianya ialah disiplin.

ok ustazah? (ups, pensyarah)

Bagaimana nak mantapkan bahasa arab?

Semalam saya bertemu penyelia master saya, Dr Yasir Ismail. Kami sempat berbincang mengenai penulisan artikel. Dr menyedari kelemahan saya dalam penguasaan bahasa arab lalu saya bertanyakan beliau apakah cara untuk mengusainya.

Beliau mengatakan terdapat dua cara, dan kedua-dua cara ini mengambil masa yang lama tapi insyaAllah akan berhasil. Cara-caranya:

1. الاستماع الصحيح (mendengar bahan audio yg fusha)
2. القراءة الصحيحة (membaca teks arab berbaris)

Untuk cara pertama, beliau menyarankan saya mengumpul audio2 dalam bahasa arab ke dlm thumbdrive dan dengar semasa memandu. Beliau bercerita, semasa zaman beliau belajar di tanah arab suatu ketika dahulu, beliau banyak membeli kaset2 arab dan kerap mendengarnya. Pastikan ianya fusha dan tajuk yg dibincangkan adalah sesuatu yg kita minati.

Untuk cara yang kedua, beliau menyarankan agar saya memperbanyakkan membaca kitab2 arab yg berbaris. Buku2 berbaris juga banyak boleh didapati di internet.

Dan pesanan terakhir beliau, biarkan apa yg kita baca dan dengar itu berulang, kerana lama2 ia akan meresap dan membantu kita untuk menguasai bahasa arab.

KERJA PERTAMAKU SELEPAS MASTER

Bukanlah sedikit yg pelik dgn pilihan aku memilih bidang ini,

Guru-guru sekolah, kawan-kawan rapat,
Tidak terlepas juga kedua ibu bapaku,

Apatah lagi aku.

Ya, mmg aku kerap kali persoalkan pilihan aku 6 tahun yang lalu.

Ada satu niat yg aku niatkan semasa memilih bidang ini,

Dan biarlah aku dan tuhan shj yg tahu.

Sungguh aku tak manyangka aku mampu pergi sejauh ini,

Dan moga direzekikan tuhan untuk aku pergi lebih jauh,

Bukan untuk aku, tapi utk tabung akhiratku.
