My name is Khairiah Ariffin. I live at the north part of Malaysia, Kedah. This year, I already 20 years old. This year is the second year i'm studying in UPSI. The only University of education in Malaysia. Although education course is not my first choice, but my family want me to proceed my study in education field, so that i have chose this course. I more prefer in dietitics. But because of I taking Biology course, so that I still can study bout dietetics. Since I have been more than 1 year studying in UPSI, slowly I become fall in love in education field. I'll will try my best to become a great educator to the next generation.

FIELD TRIP TO ZOO TAIPING

In my second semester, I've taken BIODIVERSITY OF MONERA, PROTISTS, AND ANIMALIA subject. Field trip to ZOO TAIPING is one of our assignment in this subject. In a group of 2 we have chose an animal and find the special characteristics of the animal that we have chose. There, in Zoo Taiping, we have an activity like explorace. The participants are the students from SEKOLAH KEBANGSAAN SULTAN IDRIS II. We should stay at the cage of our animal that we chose. It is as a checkpoint. There, we should give questions to the participants and explain them about the special characteristics of the animal.

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

1) National Philosophy of Education

"Education in Malaysia is an on-going efforts towards further developing the potential of individuals in a holistic and integrated manner, so as to produce individuals who are intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically balanced and harmonic, based on a firm belief in and devotion to God. Such an effort is designed to produce Malaysian citizens who are knowledgeable and competent, who possess high moral standards and who are responsible and capable of achieving high level of personal well-being as well as being able to contribute to the harmony and betterment of the family, the society and the nation at large"

2) National Science Education Philosophy

"In consonance with the National Education Philosophy, science education in Malaysia nurtures a science and technology culture by focusing on the development of individuals who are competitive, dynamic, robust, and resilient and able to master scientific knowledge and technology competency "

3) My Teaching Philosophy

If the students cannot give any feedbacks or cannot answers teacher's question during teaching and learning process, this means that the students do not understand the concept and the teaching and learning process are fail. The teaching process is not to teach the students how to memorize and get A in the subject, but to teach and educate students to understand the concept and how to apply it in their life.

The teachers need to master the topic before going to teach the students. Besides that, teacher also need to prepare mentally and physically before entering the class and try to make the teaching and learning process interactive and attractive.

REFLECTIONS

I have learned a lot of new things through the “ICT in Biology” course. This course is about how to use the technology in teaching and learning process specifically in Biology and Science subject. For the first time, I have been introduced by the lecturer how to use the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB). An interactive whiteboard is a large interactive display that connects to a computer and projector. A projector projects the computer's desktop onto the board's surface, where users no need to control at the computer. I can control my presentation on the board using a pen, finger or other device.

Besides that, I also learned about data logging, simulation and modelling. The instruments of data logging are data logger and sensors. The data logger is used to read and save the information from the sensor. There are many types of sensors such as Dissolve Oxygen sensor, Temperature sensor, Pressure sensor, and others. The data logging can be used in the experiment. Not all the experiment can be done through the data logging, but only certain appropriate experiment can be done. Through data logging, we can get accurate results, saving time, experiment can be repeated or stopped at any time, and many others advantages.

The uses of IWB, simulation and modelling in teaching and learning process are another alternative way to attract and encourage student’s interest in studying science subject. Science subject is one of the subjects that difficult to understand because it’s learning about plant and animal and the process that occurs in plant and animal. So, when the teaching and learning process use the Interactive Whiteboard, teacher or lecturer can show the process in 2D animation and how the process of certain organelles or cells occur. Comparing to the explanations from the teachers and just drawing on the whiteboard, the uses of IWB help students to understand more about the topic. The students can have correct imagination about the process occurs in plant or animal.

Become an educator is not just to teach the students in the class but, we should educate students intellectually, physically, mentally, and emotionally. We should understand our students and try to build good relationship with them. So that, when they are facing any problems, easily they will tell us. They will feel comfortable with us. In the class, we should become noticing about our students. Whether they are ready to learn the subject or not, they are in a good health or not, and others. So that, the teaching and learning process runs smoothly. I will try to improve myself to become a great educator to the next generations. Perhaps, through this education portfolio, I will get benefits from others advice or suggestion.
