Assalamualaikum and hi to the beauty with brain, my Dr. Fariza and fellow viewers! I was much anticipated for today’s class as we were presenting our findings based on the topic give. Such a looonngggg and full of information presentations by everyone. We kicked out the evening with me and my teammates being the first group to present the 21st Century Skills topic. Basically, I define the 21st Century Skills as a list of skills developed from a young age that are pivotally will be needed in the workplace. The skills can be emphasized to the 4 C’s which stand for communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. Those skills are not just being presented during the working period in the future but also useful for participation in class and out-of-class technology.
Next, formal and informal learning are one of the points that have been repeated by most of each group today. I can relate the formal learning to 20th Century Skills where the teaching and learning session were confined within a square classroom while 21st Century Skills demand teaching and learning session beyond the blackboard. In conjunction with that, ICT is one of the derive tools that push forward the boring 20th century skills into the comprehensive 21st century skills. As what have been mentioned during the presentation, technologies actually enhance learning. As evidence, we are introducing and inserting the e-learning, mobile-learning, flipped classroom and so on to the students currently and discourage to practise the traditional method in the classroom. In a simple term, ICT will attract students’ attention in learning rather than just watching a teacher lingering in front of the class, back and forth.
Interestingly, Dr. Fariza also mentioned about self-paced learning. Without googling to the internet as usual, I came out with my own understanding of self-paced learning which is a student who capable to study on their own without 100% depends on the teacher. In Prof Amin's class, self-paced learning is described as one of the characteristics of a good learner. If I relate it to Computer in Education course, self–paced learning shall be referred as discovering the technologies by us without initially learn with full guidance provided by the instructor. As we discover the process by ourselves, it will directly lead the learning into a meaningful one without merely depending on guidance. Oh ya, before I end my writing, I would like to share an interesting video about self-pace learning. This simple yet easy-to-understand video is very suitable for people who still blank regarding self-pace learning. Do check them out guys! That's all for this week!!
XOXO
