our teachers

3rd week of the semester....

everythng jz as usual, except more time is require to do some reading and mayb soon, journal searching for assgment (yea, im still very lazy to start doing it)....currently cutting off myself from facebook and msn, trying this for 1 day...thr 4 hours left be4 i gona reconnect myself bac(the time i writing this post)...hah!of cox, i still read news and blogging, on9...what, u think i can post this blog frm the middle of ocean??

3 weeks, what did i learn?generally, ppl haf vry wrong perception in psychology...dun even mention specific field like educational psychology..since most of my frend knw im studyin edu psy, occasionally they will ask me, whu did u 'psycho' edi, u dun hypnotize me, dun read my mind...the only reaction i can gif is  -.-|||

no, psychology is not bout mind readin, not hypnotize, and sry i totally dun understand wad this word 'psycho' mean...so wad is psychology??mayb u should go do some reading at wikipedia (recently im always surfing and reading on wikipedia, purposely searching smthng or jz find random article)..the overview is, edu psy is a scientific field concern with development, evaluation and application of principle and theory of human learning, in educational field...in other word, hw human mind and thinking develop and function....

so i hope next time i wont find myself trying to answer some weird or stupid question!hehe...

talking bout 'stupid' this word...thr occur a discussion in class today....again, of cox, related to teaching profession again(im studying in education faculty, wad do you expect?)...the scenario is like this:

as we studying bout brain anatomy and function today, my lect suddenly ask, 'like we usually say USE YOUR BRAIN, so does we really didnt use our brain?'den, sitting far behind, a few teacher, whu teach like 10 or 20 years or more (1 of thm is almost 57 years old) say, 'yea, when we teach till fustrated, when we scold student, in fact smtime we scold them using word like STUPID, MORON, COW DUNG etc., smtime we dun use stupid cox student understand it, so more complicated word like moron, cow dung as student wont understand...den the discussion on these word continue, which i didnt listen much as i keep thinking on these word and its implication on students...be4 they finish discuss, i heard those teacher say, smtime jz say USE YOUR USELESS BRAIN......

den i feel like...wtcrab, all of u taking education psychology, edi 3rd or 4th semester...still dun understand that these words DO haf implication on student...ya, student do becm naughty, and smtime required some disciplinary action, bt when u scold, the wording use mz be careful...im jz studying for 3 weeks, learning all the psychology theory, and it is obvious to me that, everythng, frm action and gesture to language and word really affect human development...short term mayb be demoralizing to the student, long term may affect the cognitive development of the student...

worse still, when these teacher discuss bout this issue, they seem vry happy and taking joy on insulting their students....i remember one of my lect say, in western country, they dun even use disability this word on their student, they dun even term their student performance as FAIL...saying fail this word is insulting...my gosh...they always blame student for nt understanding and graping the knowledge, bt they nvr realise, when student fail to understand certain thng, is the teachers' FAULT??where they DONT KNOW how to teach the student effectively??

yes, DONT BLAME THE STUDENT when they fail, but BLAME URSELF for failing to teach them!

TEACHERS OF MALAYSIA....

T_T

no wonder the problem in sch nvr get solve, as teacher itself is unprofessional and low quality...epic sadness!

spoiler: this does nt imply on ALL teacher in msia, but im sure that at least half of the teacher would be like this

>>currently trying to compare malaysia education system with singapore and western education system...hope sm1 frm sg can explain hw sg system work =p

teaching profession

attending class for the 2nd week...thngs rather settle down edi...rushing towards me would be assignment and projects...the class is rather diff than in fkkksa...i do not knw is becox this is master class or becox of diff faculty, ppl rather speak out more than the lect smtime...the ppl attending also frm all kind of age and background, bt most of thm are current teacher, teaching in sch all around johor...there are ppl like me, taking master course directly after degree, frm engineering faculty or education faculty, ppl that frm foreign country, ppl that frm clinical psychology, ppl whu teaching for 10 years+, ppl whu do couselling to prison inmate....thr all kind of ppl...

bt wad worried me is the education system in msia...jz by observing those whu are still teaching in sch, it really make me wondering, hw in the 1st place they can becm teacher, and also those whu are jz graduated wif degree frm education faculty...as they talk, speak and read, it is nt hard to notice they really haf poor command of english...well, im nt tat gud in the 1st place, bt the thng is, they are certainly worse than me..and they are teaching in sch!2day, there ppl pronouce obsessive as obessive, isolation as is-o-lation etc.!can u belif tat?a teacher?read like tat?4gt the pronunciation, thr lecturer whu dun understand proper english sentence, taking the meaning word by word literally, always out of the context....-.-

there are lect whu goin to penalize ppl for using too much english in class, there are ppl whu dun like to use english in class, there are really bad english user teaching in sch, sec sch or primary sch doesnt matter, even if they use bm, the bm they use is also non standard bt mixed up wif their slang...is this the real quality of our msia teacher??hmmm....

teacher is the 1 whu will be guiding our youngs, teaching thm and mould thm into a successful person...it should be the best person whu do this job...bt i guess in msia, is not...mostly is those whu cant get into medical, pharmacy, engineering field, whu left wif no other choice, go for education and becm a teacher...tat is probably y, when i choose to go for master in education, i get all sort of surprise reaction, all sort of 'wad a waste' reaction..or even 'so stupid decision' reaction...does the pay of a job really so important to see a success of sm1??

hey, teacher is not only a profession like doctor or engineer, it is the most noble job in the world...ALL the prestige doctor and engineer, scientist and dentist, they all becox thr is teacher, guiding thm when they are young, inspire them and encourage them to be wad they are today!they are not the 2nd alternative job, certainly not a waste and shameful job!

the mentality of msian teacher should change, listening to the lecture grumbling bout the teacher and sch in msia, i feel really sad...nwadays teacher jz nt dedicated enuf anymore...of cox, not all, bt most of thm...they didnt see thmself as the engineer of human soul anymore, rather than a job goin into class and pour everythng out to the student, wifout caring hw they gona accept those knowledge...not to mention the adminstration, and the political motivated policy....

TO THE CURRENT TEACHER AND TEACHER GONA BE PPL!!
please, remember, teachers are engineer of human soul, not the 2nd class job, not the last alternative, and certainly not a shameful job!teacher, are those whu build and mould our children, to becm a great person, to someone whu 1 day, will becm a great contributor to the nation, or even human race...whu knw one day, ur student will becm president, like obama?becm scientist, like einstien?or sm1 whu would change the course of the world???
if u really think that u couldnt take up the challenge, couldnt dedicated to this job, u really should quit it instead of destroying a future president/scientist/nobel prize winner.....

i hope, if i haf the chance, would be a great teacher, and i hope, every teacher will be proud of wad they are, dedicated thmself to craft the human civilization and every1 respect teaching profession as it deserves =)
