MODULE 1 : GETTING READY TO LEARN AND LEARNING STYLE INVENTORY

WHAT IS LEARNING STYLE INVENTORY ??? 

Learning style inventories are designed to help respondents determine which learning style they have. These inventories typically take the form of a questionnaire that focuses on how people prefer to learn. Respondents choose the answers that most closely resemble their own preferences.

How Are Learning Style Inventories Used?

Learning style inventories are based upon the idea that people have different strengths and preferences when it comes to learning.

Many theories exist suggesting that people can be classified based upon their predominant learning 'style.' Most of these ideas propose that all people learn differently and that designing instruction based upon these learning styles can enhance the educational process.

This notion that people possess different learning styles first became a popular concept during the 1970s. Since then, learning style theories have had a tremendous impact on the field of education. Teachers often utilize learning style inventories at the outset of a class to discover more about students and to help students better understand how they learn.

Learning style inventories remain a popular classroom tool despite the fact that research has found little evidence that matching a student's learning preferences to instructional methods produces better educational outcomes. A number of studies have found that students taught according to their identified learning style do no better than students who are not matched to their style.

However, research has supported the idea that people have definite preferences for how they learn new information. At best, learning style inventories might be a way for students to develop study habits that keep them interested and engaged in the learning process. Students may find it useful to discover their preferences and then use this information to hone their study routines.

Visual learners, for example, might benefit from creating symbols, graphs, and other visual information while studying the material in question.

Popular Learning Style Inventories

• Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (LSI)

Perhaps one of the best-known and most widely used questionnaires is the Learning Style Inventory (LSI) based upon Kolb's learning styles. The computerized assessment allows students to discover their learning style and also provides information on how educators can use this information to best serve students as well as possible strategies for accommodating different learning styles.​

• Fleming's VARK Learning Style Questionnaire

In Fleming's VARK learning style model, learners are identified as one of four different types: visual, auditory, reading/writing and kinesthetic. In 1987, he developed a questionnaire based upon his model that was designed to help people learn more about their individual style. The model and questionnaire quickly became very popular among students and educators, and both remain widely used today.​

• Jackson's Learning Styles Profiler (LSP)

The Learning Style Profiler (LSP) is based upon Chris J. Jackson's hybrid model of learning in personality. Jackson's model suggests that learning styles are influenced by a variety of factors including experience, personal choice and biology. The profiler is designed to assess how people learn at work, so it is often used in organizational and business settings.

MODULE 5 : MEMORY LEARNING & IMPROVING CONCENTRATION

by : Md Kail @ ikhwan Bin Md Nor (Timbalan ketua pengawai psikologi)

Brain: 

· brain transmit data messages with speed of up to 250km per hour, with trillion cell networks.

·   right brain capacity  is 100 times the left brain.

Memory VS Brain :

·  Memory is the ability to store, maintain andmemorise information and experience

Human memory systems are divided into three types, Sensory Memory, Short-term Memory and Long-term Memory.

Sensory memory
this information is stored in sensory memory just long enough to be transferred to short-term memory.

Short Term Memory
information that is small or usually doesnt involve us is commonly known as short term memory. Short Term Memory can easily be loss within 30 seconds to 24 hours

Long Term Memory
a memory that remains in a person forever. It depends on the person ability to recall the exact memory back to mind

Concentrating Strategies & Chart 

Distractions attracts students easily away from focused concentration on their assignment and studies. They start out searching the Internet for a relevant resource but later only to end up surfing the social media such as Facebooks and Twitter.

Ways of improvising concentration:

·             Set goals for each study session

·             Maintaining an active-learning mentality

·             Breaking down large assignments

·              Make a study routine for every week

SQ3R method:

·     Survey – start a survey to get the general idea of forthcoming topics and syllabus.

·    Question – ask questions to improvise on getting the full idea or matter being discussed

·  Read – skim and scan the whole passage in a book or a specific reading material in order to understand better

·   Recite – read the passage or text repeatedly, this can help you to understand better

·   Review – read for every empty slots in schedule.

MODULE 2 : GOAL SETTING & LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Lecture in charge ;

Madam Rosnani Binti Sidek 

Madam Hamidah

Goal setting is the process of deciding what you want to accomplish and devising a plan to achieve the result you desire. 

This goal setting definition emphasizes that goal setting is a three part process. For effective goal setting, you need to do more than just decide what you want to do; you also have to work at accomplishing whatever goal you have set for yourself  - which means you have to create a plan so your work gets you where you want to go.

For many people, it's the third part of the goal setting definition that's problematic. They know what they want to do and they're perfectly willing to work on it but they have trouble creating a plan to get there.

The undirected effort might help you accomplish what you want to do if by some fluke you do the right thing at the right time. Usually, it doesn't. And then, because you're not getting any results, you quit working at whatever it is and give up on whatever goal you've set.

Sound familiar?

So for successful goal setting, the first thing you have to do is close the gap between the end result you want and where you are now with a plan.

• ·        Set Specific Goals

Your goal must be clear and well defined. Vague or generalized goals are unhelpful because they don't provide sufficient direction. Remember, you need goals to show you the way. Make it as easy as you can to get where you want to go by defining precisely where you want to end up.

• ·        Set Measurable Goals

Include precise amounts, dates, and so on in your goals so you can measure your degree of success. If your goal is simply defined as "To reduce expenses" how will you know when you have been successful? In one month's time if you have a 1 percent reduction or in two years' time when you have a 10 percent reduction? Without a way to measure your success you miss out on the celebration that comes with knowing you have actually achieved something.

• ·        Set Attainable Goals

Make sure that it's possible to achieve the goals you set. If you set a goal that you have no hope of achieving, you will only demoralize yourself and erode your confidence.However, resist the urge to set goals that are too easy. Accomplishing a goal that you didn't have to work hard for can be anticlimactic at best, and can also make you fear setting future goals that carry a risk of non-achievement. By setting realistic yet challenging goals, you hit the balance you need. These are the types of goals that require you to "raise the bar" and they bring the greatest personal satisfaction.

·         Set Relevant Goals

Goals should be relevant to the direction you want your life and career to take. By keeping goals aligned with this, you'll develop the focus you need to get ahead and do what you want. Set widely scattered and inconsistent goals, and you'll fritter your time – and your life – away.

·         Set Time-Bound Goals

You goals must have a deadline. Again, this means that you know when you can celebrate success. When you are working on a deadline, your sense of urgency increases and achievement will come that much quicker.

5 Steps approach :

1. Make your target
2. Know your weakness
3. How to manage your weakness
4. Revise again point 3
5. Polish

Long-Term and Short-Term Goals

Goals that can happen quickly are called short-term goals. Goals that take a long time to achieve are called long-term goals. Find out more about them.

A short-term goal is something you want to do in the near future. The near future can mean today, this week, this month, or even this year. A short-term goal is something you want to accomplish soon.

A short term goal is a goal you can achieve in 12 months or less. Examples include:

·         Take a class

·         Buy a new television

·         Write my resume

A long-term goal is something you want to do further in the future. Long-term goals require time and planning. They are not something you can do this week or even this year. Long-term goals usually take 12 months or more to achieve.

Here are examples of goals that can take several years to achieve:

·         Graduate from college

·         Save for retirement

·         Have my own business

     A learning management system (LMS) is a software application or Web-based technology used to plan, implement, and assess a specific learning process. Typically, a learning management system provides an instructor with a way create and deliver content, monitor student participation, and assess student performance. A learning management system may also provide students with the ability to use interactive features such as threaded discussions, video conferencing, and discussion forums.

      

      How to create LMS ?

•      Create your own account in student portal
•      You have to use student ID
•      You have to make password that easy for you to remember

UED CLASS E

UITM PAHANG, CAMPUS JENGKA

So Hi everybody! My fullname is Mohamad Zulhilmi Bin Mohd Nasir and you can call me Zul or Hilmi :). I'm a section 1 understudy, learned at UiTM Pahang Campus Jengka and an understudy of EC110 ( Civil Engineering ). Just like a designer's understudy, I trust oneday I would be one of the structural specialists like what am I imagined since elementary school. In the event that I wound up plainly one of the structural designers, I would make this nation ( Malaysia ) fitted with an 'appreciate the nature' building and improve this nation even than what we have at the present time. I'm from Temerloh. I cherish my UiTM in light of the fact that the view was great. Something like appreciate the nature. On the off chance that given a decision whether to remain in here or in the capital city, I preferably remain here than remain in the nation that constantly stayed with substantial activity. With the goal that's for the presentation. 

This blog was made for my new task called e-Portfolio under course UED and sorry I'm neglected to welcome you. In this way, welcome to my e-Portfolio blog. Have a protected excursion perusing my blog and It's about the e-Portfolio. Expectation my blog would appreciate you up. :)
