Azimat Menempuh Peperiksaan

“Bolehkah kamu berjaya dalam hidup jika tidak lulus PMR dan SPM?” saya melontarkan soalan kepada peserta.
Boleh tahan juga bilangannya yang mengangkat tangan untuk jawapan YA.
“Maknanya ramailah yang merancang untuk gagal PMR dan SPM ni ya? Senang kerja saya” saya membuat kesimpulan.
Guru-guru pun ada yang kelihatan resah dengan idea yang saya sampaikan. Memberikan cadangan bahawa hidup boleh diteruskan dengan kejayaan tanpa kelulusan PMR dan SPM?

“Baiklah, bagi yang kata kita boleh berjaya dalam hidup walaupun gagal PMR dan SPM, bolehkah kongsikan hujah anda?” saya menyambung provokasi.
Seperti biasa, ramai yang tertunduk-tunduk, memandang dinding dan bumbung dewan, melarikan mata daripada memandang saya kerana tidak mahu disuruh menjawab soalan. Itu ‘penyakit’ yang sering melanda pelajar-pelajar kita. Bising bila ramai, kecut bila diminta bersuara atas kapasiti peribadi.
“Sebab PMR dan SPM bukan segala-galanya. Ada ujian yang lebih besar di Akhirat!” jawab seorang pelajar.
Wah, jawapannya disambut dengan tepuk tangan oleh rakan-rakan. Saya juga mengucapkan syabas kepadanya kerana berani bersuara. Senaskhah buku Persediaan Minda Pelajar Cemerlang tulisan rakan saya, Osman bin Affan, dijadikan hadiah buat pelajar yang berani ini.
PMR DAN SPM URUSAN AKHIRAT
“Maksud kamu, PMR dan SPM tiada kena mengena dengan Akhirat?” saya menyambung soalan.
“Err… err…” pelajar itu tidak pasti, asyik menggaru kepala.
“Ada ke benda di dunia ini yang tiada kena mengena dengan Akhirat?” saya meneruskan soalan.
“Sekular!” jawab seorang pelajar.
Hebat falsafahnya. Senaskhah lagi buku Motivasi Alihan Pelajar tulisan Dr. Tengku Asmadi, saya jadikan hadiah buat pelajar yang memberikan kata kunci berharga dalam sampuk beliau itu tadi.
Hakikatnya, sama ada kita boleh berjaya atau tidak dalam hidup ini tanpa lulus PMR dan SPM, jawapannya ialah YA dan TIDAK.
JIKA MAHU JAWAPANNYA YA
Anda berusaha gigih.
Pergi ke sekolah dan menghadiri kelas dengan penuh tumpuan. Tidak ponteng kelas tambahan. Bertanya jika tidak faham. Membuat kerja latihan yang diberi, berlatih menjawab soalan-soalan tahun lepas, mencipta mnemonic untuk membantu anda menghafal fakta… anda berusaha dengan bersungguh-sungguh.
Tiba-tiba menjelang peperiksaan, berlaku sesuatu yang tidak dijangka.
Anda demam campak.
Seperti semasa saya menduduki kertas pertama SPM, kertas Bahasa Melayu.
Disebabkan oleh perkara-perkara yang tidak dijangka itu, anda mendapat keputusan peperiksaan yang tidak seperti apa yang diharapkan, malah mungkin gagal terus… ketahuilah, anda adalah calon manusia berjaya dalam hidup ini di dunia dan di Akhirat.
Mengapa?
UPSR, PMR dan SPM walaupun kejayaannya diukur pada keputusan yang tercatat di atas kertas keputusan peperiksaan, namun itu bukanlah inti pati utamanya. Tanyalah seorang jurutera, semasa beliau menghadiri temuduga kerja, apakah majikannya bertanya tentang keputusan UPSR dan PMR beliau?
Tiada.
Sudah tidak penting lagi.

Di usia ini, gred berapa dan agregat berapa sudah tidak penting, tetapi SIKAP yang terbentuk daripadanya berguna sepanjang hayat

Tetapi apa yang diajar oleh UPSR, PMR dan SPM ialah latihan mencipta kejayaan iaitu pada SIKAP yang dibentuk di sepanjang perjalanan menuju dewan peperiksaan. Jika anda telah berusaha gigih, memberikan sepenuh komitmen, berdisiplin untuk mengutamakan apa yang utama, bersabar dengan apa yang kita tidak suka untuk nantinya dapat apa yang kita suka, maka kita sudah pun berjaya, sebelum keluar keputusan peperiksaan!.
Kejayaan ialah perjalanan, bukan destinasi!
Jika anda sudah menyertai perjalanan itu, anda sudah pun berjaya.
JAWAPANNYA PASTI TIDAK
Namun, jika anda gagal di dalam peperiksaan kerana tidak berusaha, malas, menyakiti hati ibu bapa dan guru, maka ketahuilah anda adalah calon manusia gagal di dunia dan di Akhirat.
“Tapi ustaz, Tan Sri Dato’ Loh Boon Siew jadi jutawan walaupun tak sekolah!” kata seorang pelajar merujuk kepada Honda Man, tokoh perniagaan negara yang amat terkenal itu.
“Dia jadi jutawan bukan dengan menggagalkan diri di dalam peperiksaan. Kamu tahu, Mendiang Boon Siew bekerja mengutip tahi babi semasa di usia kamu untuk menyara hidupnya. Ia lebih hebat daripada kesanggupan kamu berjalan kaki ke kelas tambahan di sekolah pada tengah hari yang panas terik di bulan puasa! Itulah SIKAP!” saya menambah.
Nampaknya pelajar-pelajar ini sudah panas. Sudah berani menjawab. Sebuah lagi buku MAGNET DIRI tulisan Amin Idris saya hadiahkan kepadanya.
“Macam mana boleh gagal PMR dan SPM membawa kepada kegagalan di Akhirat, ustaz?” tanya seorang pelajar.
“Dunia ladang Akhirat. Macam yang ustaz sebut tadi, kalau kegagalan peperiksaan itu berpunca daripada sikap atau akhlaq yang buruk, menyakiti hati guru-guru dan ibu bapa yang bersusah payah mahukan kejayaan untuk kamu, itulah dosa yang menjadi saham untuk membeli kerusi di lubuk Neraka!” saya menambah.
Ceramah berlangsung lagi hingga selesai satu jam setengah masa yang diberikan.
Tiada apa-apa resepi kejayaan rahsia yang saya berikan.
Bak kata bapa kepada hero pujaan filem kegemaran saya yang wajahnya mirip-mirip saya:

“There is no secret ingredient, you just have to believe! – Abu Panda”

Selamat menempuh peperiksaan PMR untuk adik-adik yang menduduki kertas pertama mereka hari ini.

Jika ada soalan yang tidak diketahui jawapannya, tuliskan sahaja WALLAHU A’LAM (Allah lebih mengetahui), pasti betul. Jangan ada pegawai pemeriksa yang memangkahnya. Rosak Aqidah!

Cuma, tiada markahlah… itu sahaja.

Ingat, kejayaan adalah perjalanan, bukan destinasi!

Seeru ‘alaa barakatiLlaah!

Respiration

Why do you need to breathe?
- To live
- To get energy
All the cells in your body require oxygen. Without it, they couldn't move, build, reproduce, and turn food into energy. In fact, without oxygen, they and you would die! Breaking of glucose with the present of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water and energy is something tested in PMR exams.

Glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water + energy

How do you get oxygen? From breathing in air which your blood circulates to all parts of the body.

How do you breathe?
You breathe with the help of your diaphragm and other muscles in your chest and abdomen. These muscles literally change the space and pressure inside your body to accomodate breathing. When your diaphragm pulls down, it not only leaves more space for the lungs to expand but also lowers the internal air pressure. Outside, where the air pressure is greater, you suck in air in an inhale. The air then expands your lungs like a pair of balloons. When your diaphragm relaxes, the cavity inside your body gets smaller again. Your muscles squeeze your rib cage and your lungs begin to collapse as the air is pushed up and out your body in an exhale.

So, it all starts at the nose?
Yup. About 20 times a minute, you breathe in. When you do, you inhale air and pass it through your nasal passages where the air is filtered, heated, moistened and enters the back of the throat. Interestingly enough, it's the esophagus or foodpipe which is located at the back of the throat and the windpipe for air which is located at the front. When we eat, a flap -- the epiglottis -- flops down to cover the windpipe so that food doesn't go down the windpipe.

So -- back to breathing -- the air has a long journey to get to your lungs. It flows down through the windpipe, past the voice box or vocal cords, to where the lowermost ribs meet the center of your chest. There, your windpipe divides into two tubes which lead to the two lungs which fill most of your ribcage. Inside each of your sponge-like lungs, tubes, called bronchi, branch into even smaller tubes much like the branches of a tree. At the end of these tubes are millions of tiny bubbles or sacs called aleoli. Spread out flat, all the air sacs in the lungs of an adult would cover an area about the third of a tennis court.

What do these sacs do?
They help perform an incredible magic act. Your air sacs bring new oxygen from air you've breathed to your bloodstream. They exchange it for waste products, like carbon dioxide, which the cells in your body have made and can't use.

How does this exchange work?
With the help of the red blood cells in your bloodstream. Your red blood cells are like box cars on train tracks. They show up at the sacs at just the right time, ready to trade in old carbon dioxide that your body's cells have made for some new oxygen you've just breathed in. In the process, these red blood cells turn from purple to that beautiful red color as they start carrying the oxygen to all the cells in your body.

But what happens to the carbon dioxide?
It goes through the lungs, back up your windpipe and out with every exhale. It's a remarkable feat, this chemical exchange and breathing in and out. You don't have to tell your lungs to keep working. Your brain does it automatically for you.

Factoids
Your lungs contain almost 1500 miles of airways and over 300 million alveoli.
Every minute you breathe in 13 pints of air.
Plants are our partners in breathing. We breathe in air, use the oxygen in it, and release carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Thank goodness!
People tend to get more colds in the winter because we're indoors more often and in close proximity to other people. When people sneeze, cough and even breathe -- germs go flying!

In summary student need to understand how and why air enters the lungs during inhalation and why and how it leaves the lungs during exhalation.

This must be memorized by students
a) 5 steps during inhalation and exhalation
b) Structure of lungs which consists of nasal cavity, trachea, bronchus, bronchioles and alveolus.

5 steps in inhalation
a) external intercostal muscles contract while internal set relaxes.
b) Diaphragm contracts and flatten
c) Ribs cages moves upwards and outwards. This increase volume of thoracic cavity and decreasing the pressure.
d) Pressure in lungs is lower than the atmospheric pressure.
e) Air from outside enters the lungs

1 nose
A nose is a nose is a nose. Smelling, tasting and breathing all start here. The size, location, mucous lining and tiny hairs (cilia) inside help prevent foreign objects to enter and to trap large air impurities before being drawn further into the respiratory system. Achooo! Out with the bad... bugs and carbon dioxide.

2 mouth
Mouth breathing can also be remembered as 'the big gulp', or 'plan 'B'' for air entry. Like the nose, it has many functions. It is the starting point of the digestive system as well as a secondary inhaler and exhaler.

3 larynx
The larynx has three main functions: 1) a passageway for air, 2) a valve to close off the air passage from the digestive one (the epiglottis) like a hinged trap door, and 3) as a voice box.
This is only for information and will not be testing in PMR

4 lung
The lungs are the essential organs of respiration. The main function of the lungs is to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen and vice versa. Each lung is enclosed separately within two membranes, like a balloon inside a bag inside a bag.

5 right bronchus ^^ There are 2 main bronchi (Latin plural of bronchus): the right and left, each leading to a lung. If you accidentally breathe, or aspirate, a very small piece of food that gets past the trachea, it is most likely to fall and be pulled into the right main bronchus. If a peanut gets this far, what do you think could happen?

6 diaphragm This muscular structure acts as a floor to the chest (thoracic) cavity as well as a roof to the abdomen. It helps to expand and contract the lungs, forcing air into and out of them.

7 pharynx* The pharynx is shared with the digestive system from the tongue down to the epiglottis. Food goes on down the esophagus and air passes on through the trachea - but never both at the same time!

8 trachea* ^^ This armored tube allows air to pass beyond the larynx to where it divides into the left and right bronchi. The protective 'c's of cartilage also provide protection to the digestive system's esophagus right behind it.

9 left bronchus ^^ The left one has a sharper bend due to the presence of the heart and major blood vessels directly underneath it.

10 bronchiole ^^ Each bronchus divides and subdivides into smaller and smaller branches, the bronchioles, just like tree branches that get smaller as they grow up and out. By the time the air has reached here from outside, it has been warmed up to body temperature, filtered and moisturized.

11 alveoli These tiny air cells, or sacs, are the 'leaves' of our respiratory tree. They resemble bunches of grapes and are the link between the respiratory and circulatory systems. Gas exchange happens here - I'll trade you fresh oxygen (O2) for your used carbon dioxide (CO2). Now trace the route of the old air back out to the nose.

* throat The throat includes all the structures lying in front of the spinal column including the mouth, tongue, pharynx, tonsils, larynx and trachea.
* trachea, bronchi and bronchioles These three portions of our airways also have rings of muscle along their length as well as glands lining them. These glands produce mucous that traps particles of dirt. Eventually, this sticky stuff and its trapped dirt are coughed up and cleared out. With asthma, these sensitive muscles tighten, making all the airways smaller and more difficult to breath through, and excessive mucus is produced, sometimes flooding the airways.

Respiratory Diseases
1) Lung cance
2) Chronic bronchitis (bronchi become inflammed and narrowed)
3) Emphysema - burst of alveoli during caughing.
4) Asthma - narrowing of air passage
5) Tuberculosis (TB) - bacteria infection.

Harmful Substances to Respiratory System
1) Tar - present in cigaratte
2) Nicotine - addiction to smoking
3) CO - reduces the oxygen -carrying power of blood
4) SO - corrodes the walls of the air passage.
5) Asbestos dust - breathing difficulty. It is carcinogen and cause lung cancer
6) Toxis - cause pneumonia and tuberculosis
7) Haze - cause throat irritation, inflammation of the respiratoryh tract and breathing difficulties

Motivasi From Osman Affan Mengapa kita perlu tulis matlamat?

Mengapa kita perlu tulis matlamat?
Posted by Osman Affan

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah.

Adik-adik pelajar dan para pengunjung setia Blog MotivasiBelajar.com yang saya muliakan,

Pernahkah adik-adik tertanya-tanya mengapa kita perlu menulis matlamat? Ada pelajar yang bertanya kepada saya, “Cikgu Osman, kenapa kena tulis matlamat? Saya tahu apa yang saya mahu capai. Kalau saya bayangkan sahaja dalam kepala saya tidak bolehkah?”

Sebenarnya, memnag boleh, tidak ada masalah. Jika ada matlamat yang jelas, tidak tulis pun tidak mengapa. Namun, jika menulis dapat membantu kita ingat dengan lebih baik matlamat tersebut, mengapa tidak?

Menurut kajian, manusia mudah lupa. Kita tidak perlu diberitahu tentang kajian ini sebenarnya kerana kita tahu yang kita mudah lupa. Lupa juga berlaku kepada kita apabila kita ada matlamat. Sebagai contoh, awal-awal tahun, kita ada matlamat untuk menjadi pelajar paling cemerlang di sekolah. Semasa mendaftar di universiti, kita ada cita-cita mendapat CGPA 4.0 dan menjadi pelajar terbaik universiti. Semasa mula-mula masuk ke asrama pula kita bercita-cita mahu menjadi pelajar yang terbaik dalam bidang akademik dan juga aktiviti kurikulum sekolah.

Namun, apa jadi selepas beberapa bulan? Kebanyakan pelajar mengadu semangat mereka semakin menurun. Mereka semakin tidak bertenaga untuk berusaha. Mengapa? Saya percaya, salah satu sebabnya ialah kerana mereka sudah mula terlupa tentang matlamat asal mereka.

Jadi adik-adik semua, apa kata kita tulis matlamat kita hari ini. Lebih baik lagi, cari gambar yang berkenaan dengan apa yang kita inginkan. Insyaallah, kita akan lebih mudah ingat apa yang kita ingin capai dan kita akan lebih fokus dalam berusaha mencapai matlamat tersebut.

Saksikan video terbaru SmartStudyTV.com ini. Di sini saya ceritakan mengapa kita perlu menulis matlamat. Selamat menonton!

Science Form 3 (Chapter 2) Blood Circulation and Transport

2010-01-09T16:18:00.000+08:00

Introduction to function of Heart

Credit to http://ptbestari.blogspot.com

The role of the heart is to pump oxygen-rich blood to every living cell in the body. In order to achieve its goal, it must continuously beat for a person’s entire lifespan. Because of its vital role, a non-beating heart always results in death. The human heart beats approximately 80,000 to 100,000 a day and pumps almost 2,000 gallons of blood. This means that in a person’s life lasting 70 to 90 years, the heart beats approximately two to three billion times and pumps 50 to 65 million gallons of blood. Because the heart is so essential for human sustenance, it is made up of a muscle different from skeletal muscle that allows it to constantly beat.

In order for the heart to deliver oxygenated blood to all cells, blood is pumped through arteries. Veins bring deoxygenated blood cells to the lungs, which then are oxygenated, and then sent back to heart. In this way, a continuous cycle is formed of the heart pumping oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood out to their designated destinations, and therefore the heart maintains the circulatory system.

Systole: Stage when the ventricles of heart are contracting resulting in blood being pumped out to the lungs and the rest of the body.
- Thick, muscular walls of both ventricles contract.
- Pressure rises in both ventricles, causing the bicuspid and tricuspid valves to close. Therefore, blood is forced up the aorta and the pulmonary artery.
- The atria relax during this time. The left atrium receives blood from the pulmonary vein, and the right atrium from the vena cava.

Diastole: Stage when the ventricles of the heart are relaxed and not contracting. During this stage, the atria are filled with blood and pump blood into the ventricles.
- Thick, muscular walls of both ventricles relax.
- Pressure in both ventricles falls low enough for bicuspid valves to open.
- The atria contract, and blood is forced into the ventricles, expanding them. The blood pressure in the aorta is decreased, therefore the semi-lunar valves close.

Top scorers in PMR increase

2009-12-24T17:25:00.000+08:00

PUTRAJAYA: A total of 28,188 students got As in all their subjects in this year's PMR examinations compared to 26,378 in 2008.

"Some 4,775 rural candidates got As in all their subjects this year compared to 4,345 in 2008 while students who passed the minimum level dropped from 88,565 to 87,936.

"Students who got all Es dropped from 159 in 2008 to 123 this year," he told reporters when announcing the 2009 PMR result analysis here on Thursday. - Bernama

How to study science?

2009-12-16T23:51:00.000+08:00

From Answers.com

Science should be studied like anything else to start with - memorize the terms and definitions, take good notes, and learn how things work. One part of science that is more similar to math is to be sure you work out the problems and do the experiments so that you will really understand what is going on. Science is based on facts learned from experiment - what we understand depends on what we can study, and science is always changing as our ability to study the world increases. Look at your notes and write them down so you know the them in your head.

From saifulislam.com-KEM HIJRI 1431 DATANG LAGI – Pendaftaran Dibuka

2009-11-22T01:50:00.006+08:00

KEM HIJRI 1431 DATANG LAGI – Pendaftaran Dibuka
Abu Saif 17/11/2009 9:00 pm 1,618 views Print Email

Kem Hijrah Remaja Islam (HIJRI) merupakan sebuah kem percutian yang diadakan khusus untuk musim cuti sekolah dan pasca peperiksaan, bersempena dengan kedatangan Tahun Baru Hijrah 1431. Program ini dibentuk khusus untuk mengisi keperluan remaja semasa yang berdepan dengan pelbagai cabaran, sebahagiannya sulit untuk difahami oleh generasi ibu bapa. Kecelaruan membabitkan persoalan pandangan hidup (worldview), agama, nilai, emosi, cinta, akademik dan kerjaya masa depan. Kepercayaan bahawa remaja perlu difahami sebelum mengharapkan mereka memahami, menjadi asas kepada lahirnya KEM HIJRAH REMAJA ISLAM (HIJRI)

“Kamu adalah apa yang kamu percaya” merupakan kaedah yang menjelaskan tentang peri pentingnya PARADIGMA atau cara melihat sesuatu. Inilah fungsi penting Aqidah iaitu mengubah cara manusia memandang; melihat kehidupan dari perspektif Pencipta kehidupan. Justeru Kem Hijrah Remaja Islam (HIJRI) kali ini menekankan kepada usaha untuk melakukan anjakan paradigma yang holistik membabitkan topik-topik berikut:

1. PUZZLE AGAMA
Huraian Hadith Jibril a.s. tentang Iman, Islam dan Ihsan dalam konteks Input, Proses dan Output. Merawat kesilapan 7 buta meraba gajah agar al-Deen tidak difahami secara serpihan. Cabaran keluarga dan pembangunan ekstrim juga terbit dari hadith yang sama.

2. IMAN ITU INPUT
Kenal diri kenallah Ilahi… segmen yang membawa peserta meneroka potensi dan batasan diri untuk sampai kepada soalan “mengapa hidup perlu berTuhan”. Peserta mencari sebab beribadah sebelum mendalami kaifiyat ibadah. Kuasa percaya sebagai kunci untuk berjaya adalah sari pati segmen ini.

3. IBADAH ITU PROSES
Ibadah ialah mekanisma yang memproses Iman dengan cara-cara yang diajar petunjuk Nabawi, supaya terbit kualiti Ihsan. Adalah salah menganggap bahawa seseorang itu baik kerana bersolat, sebaliknya bersolatlah untuk menjadi baik. Solat itu proses, baik itu adalah hasil.

4. IHSAN ITU OUTPUT
Ihsan itu cemerlang. Motonya adalah “Buat Habis Baik”. Iman yang diproses Ibadah, menghasilkan baik kepada Tuhan, baik kepada insan dan alam kehidupan, baik kepada pelajaran dan pekerjaan. Kemuncak agama adalah Akhlaq. “Aku diutus untuk menyempurnakan kemuliaan Akhlaq,” mesej Nabawi yang menjadi kata kunci.

5. SINERGI KELUARGA DAN TAULAN
Manusia makhluq sinergi. Berdikari bukan pada hidup sendiri. Ibu bapa paling utama, pergaulan teman harus ada panduan. Pengurusan emosi satu kemestian, cinta dan cita-cita perlukan penyelarasan.

6. CITA-CITA DAN KERJAYA
Misi dan visi Khalifah Allah, hidup berperanan menyumbang faedah. Setiap manusia dilahirkan bukan bodoh vs pandai, tetapi berbeza-beza keistimewaan. Peserta diajak mencari minat dan bakat, disuntik disiplin, perkongsian pengalaman dan nasihat. Forum kerjaya oleh tokoh berjaya, agar jalan ke depan cerah kelihatan.

Proses pembelajaran dilakukan secara interaktif dengan bantuan alat audio dan visual, sinergi kerja dalam kumpulan, aktiviti indoor dan outdoor, segmen bicara hati ke hati, serta fasilitator yang setia berada sepanjang masa untuk akses yang optimum.
Hubungan dan akses yang optimum di antara peserta dengan pasukan fasilitator menjadi keutamaan kami.

Kem Hijrah Remaja Islam (HIJRI) dianjurkan oleh Saifulislam Training & Consultancy (001813528-P) , iaitu sebuah syarikat latihan dan perundingan pembangunan insan milik Hj Hasrizal Abdul Jamil, atau lebih dikenali sebagai Abu Saif. Bermula dari sebuah blog interaktif yang menampilkan bahan-bahan pemikiran yang segar, Abu Saif melangkah setapak ke hadapan dengan menubuhkan syarikatnya sendiri agar segala idea yang telah banyak dimanfaatkan oleh pembaca semenjak 1998, dapat diterjemahkan kepada modul latihan yang meletakkan remaja, mahasiswa/i dan warga kerja sebagai kelompok sasaran. Graduan Universiti Mu’tah di Jordan, Mantan Minister of Religion di Ireland Utara, pernah muncul di CNN, BBC dan media tempatan, Abu Saif pasti menawarkan keunikan untuk dakwah dan program latihan pembangunan insan.
Kami menerima banyak permintaan daripada ibu bapa, agar menganjurkan kursus-kursus untuk anak remaja, khususnya di musim cuti sekolah ini. Setelah banyak aspek dipertimbangkan, berserta usaha mendapatkan sebuah pasukan yang benar-benar mantap untuk memimpin agenda ini, kami mengucapkan rasa syukur kepada Allah kerana KEM HIJRI 1430 yang berlangsung pada Disember 2008 telah berjalan dengan cemerlang dan kini mengumumkan sesi kedua KEM HIJRI khusus untuk remaja di musim cuti sekolah 2009 kali ini.

KEM HIJRI
Kem Hijrah Remaja Islam 1431H ini, adalah sebuah program bersifat residential, yang kami tawarkan khusus untuk anak-anak remaja berusia di antara 13 ke 19 tahun. Program ini menggabungkan segala unsur pembelajaran membabitkan kuliah, latihan dalam kumpulan, permainan interaktif, aktiviti outdoor, serta slot-slot bicara hati ke hati, bukan sekadar untuk menyampaikan mesej kepada peserta, malah untuk kami menyelami isi hati, berusaha memahami dan seterusnya berkongsi pandangan secara yang lebih eksklusif kepada peserta KEM HIJRI ini.

Idea Tasawwur Islam yang segar, dinamik, kontemporari dan praktikal, akan disampaikan kepada remaja dengan bahasa remaja, bersama harapan agar proses untuk menjiwai dan mengamalkan hasil KEM HIJRI ini akan lebih mudah dan sesuai dengan panca roba kehidupan mereka yang serba mencabar hari ini.

Kami juga menawarkan ruang untuk peserta-peserta berdialog dengan fasilitator jemputan yang berlatarkan pelbagai bidang pengajian yang syariatik juga saintifik untuk sumbangsaran perancangan pelajaran dan kerjaya mereka nanti. Terima kasih kepada teman-teman saya yang begitu ikhlas dan bersemangat untuk berkongsi pengalaman mereka belajar di universiti terkemuka, dan kini berjaya sebagai profesional di bidang masing-masing.
KEM HIJRI INI akan mencakupi 6 Topik Dasar iaitu:

Meneroka rupa bentuk Islam (IPO Input Proses dan Output pada Iman, Islam dan Ihsan)
Muslim pada Aqidah, Ibadah dan Akhlaq, yang banyak menekankan aspek MENGAPA disusuli BAGAIMANA

Meneroka aplikasi konsep Syariatullah dan Sunnatullah untuk kecemerlangan holistik peserta
Pengurusan Emosi dan Cinta Remaja
Memulihkan Nilai Kekeluargaan dan Interaksi Sosial
Merancang Pembelajaran dan Kerjaya

SAIFULISLAM TRAINING AND CONSULTANCY
KEM HIJRI ini dianjurkan oleh Saifulislam Training & Consultancy, syarikat persendirian milik saya, berteraskan gagasan idea yang sejak sekian lama menjadi teras kepada wacana di Saifulislam.Com. Penubuhan syarikat ini adalah untuk memenuhi kriteria Sunnatullah yang menghendaki usaha dakwah dan penyebaran al-Haq dilakukan secara bersistem dan tersusun.

===========================================

SMK Dato' Onn Triumphs In Toyota Eco Youth Programme

SHAH ALAM, Oct 8 (Bernama) -- Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Dato' Onn Butterworth came out top in the Toyota Eco Youth Programme 2009, winning RM5,000 on Thursday.The programme is a collaboration between UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd and the Education Ministry since 2001 to cultivate environmental awareness and love for the environment among high school students through environmental management projects they participate in.

SMK Dato' Onn team led by Form Four student Muhammad Ahza Mohamad Desa and comprising seven other members, captured the hearts of the panel of judges with their project to reduce, reuse and recycle water in their school.The project managed to address the high water bill in their school by fitting the more efficient spring-loaded taps in the toilets to cut water drip, harvesting rain water for reuse, and recycling laundry water using micro- organisms for watering the school garden.One of the teachers who supervised them, Chek Ramlah Abdul Samad, 51, said through the 3Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle), the school managed to reduce its water bill which was about RM600 a month by 34.8 per cent from the initial target of 20 per cent.

The first runner-up in the competition was SMK Bandar Putra, Kulai, Johor which received RM4,000 and the second runner-up, SMK Agama Pahang, Bandar Muazzam, which won RM3,000.

SMK Taman Ria Jaya, Sungai Petani, Kedah won the best presentation award, SMK St Francis Melaka won the best exhibition award, while SMK Pantai Labuan won the best website. Each of these schools received RM1,000.

UMW Toyota Motor executive director Aminar Rashid Salleh said at the closing of the competition here that the Toyota Eco Youth Programme had raised awareness and appreciation for the environment among the young.After nine years of its implementation, the company's annual corporate social responsibility programme had benefited 136 schools involving 912 participants, he said.

This year, 16 schools representing the states and federal territories participated in the competition, which was a culmination of their six-month projects before presenting them at the two-day convention and exhibition beginning on Wednesday.

Aminar Rashid said the programme would mark its 10th anniversary next year with the introduction of the "Sustainability Award" to encourage this year's participants to sustain their projects at their respective schools.The Education ministry's director of Teacher Education Dr Khair Yusuf presented the awards and prizes on behalf of Education director-general Tan Sri Alimuddin Md Dom.-- BERNAMA

DPM: Those who started Maths, Science in English can continue

2009-08-10T03:23:00.001+08:00

The Star

PERTH (Australia): Students who started studying Mathematics and Science in English can continue to do so until they finish their secondary school education.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said he wanted to allay the concerns expressed by parents.

“The Cabinet discussed and agreed to this as some of my colleagues expressed their concerns about students who started studying the two subjects in English and would be in Years Four to Six, and Forms Four and Five when the new policy is implemented in 2012,” he told Malaysian media during a breakfast meeting at the end of his five-day working trip here. (He returned to Kuala Lumpur later in the evening.)

Muhyiddin who is Education Minister, said students who had started learning the two subjects in English would continue to be taught in English, and have the option of answering questions in either English or Bahasa Malaysia.

“This is what I meant by a “soft landing” as students will be given time to get used to the new policy,” he said.

When he announced last month that the Government had decided to reverse the Teaching of Mathematics and Science in English (PPSMI) policy and revert to Bahasa Malaysia in national schools and Chinese and Tamil in vernacular schools, he stressed that the Government wanted a “soft landing”.

This, he added, was why the new policy would begin in 2012, as this would enable the ministry to have enough time to make the necessary preparations.

The reversal in policy means that from 2012 students in Years One and Four and Forms One and Four in national primary and secondary schools would study the two subjects in Bahasa Malaysia while those in vernacular schools would be taught in their mother tongue (Chinese and Tamil).

The PPSMI policy was implemented in phases, beginning with Year One, Form One and Lower Six students in 2003.

At the same time, Muhyiddin said some schools with “different situations” could start teaching the two subjects in Bahasa Malaysia, but with the condition that students continue to be given the option of answering questions in either language.

Meanwhile, Muhyiddin apologised for the actions of the Federal Territory Education Department officers when asked about the 70 parents who found themselves locked out of SMK Seri Hartamas when they tried to convene an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to discuss the reversal of the PPSMI policy.

“I apologise to the parents as it is not fair to them. They want to discuss important questions and are doing so in a proper manner.

“They are not doing it in the streets,” he said.

He said the education department officers should allow the parent-teacher associations (PTA) to express their feelings as it was only fair for them to do so.

“I am not a dictator and the PTA can submit their memorandum or letter to me,” he said.

SMK Sri Hartamas PTA vice-chairman Datin Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim said she and the others only wanted to express their views and not protest.

They had earlier obtained permission to hold the EGM at SMK Sri Hartamas but it was withdrawn on Friday resulting in the parents being forced to gather outside the school compound.

Muhyiddin said he was glad the PPSMI policy had benefited some students.

“They proved the policy could work but the problem is that it is isolated and (does) not (cater to) the whole country.

“I want to ask the community whether they think a flexible approach in a policy can be carried out,” he said.

On his meeting with Malaysian students in Perth, Muhyiddin said he had directed Malaysian High Commissioner to Australia Datuk Salman Ahmad and Consul-General of Malaysia to Western Australia Hamidah Ashari to look into the feasibility of setting up a Malaysian Students Department here.

“We need to know if we can afford it,” he said, adding there were 3,000 Malaysian students in Perth.

English teachers in rural areas to get extra incentives

2009-07-21T19:38:00.000+08:00

THE STAR

SEREMBAN: English teachers will be given additional incentives to teach in rural schools, said Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

He said these incentives would be over and above those already accorded to teachers currently serving in rural areas.

“We have no choice but to do this as the command of English among pupils in rural schools is poor,” he said.

Muhyiddin said the ministry had yet to finalise the additional incentives.

He said the ministry would also send the best English teachers to these schools to help pupils.

“The ministry has in principle agreed to place the best English teachers in these schools. Good English teachers will be given priority if they want to move to these schools,” he said.

Muhyiddin said the concept would be similar to “Teach For Australia” where good teachers volunteered to serve in remote areas to help pupils who did not have access to facilities common in urban areas.

“We will model our programme after the one in Australia. Teachers must be prepared to make sacrifices and we will in return grant them additional incentives,” he said.

Since 2007, teachers posted to remote areas were given a special allowance of either RM1,500, RM1,000 or RM500 depending on the location they were in.

He was speaking to reporters after opening the National Headmasters’ Education Convention and the National Headmasters Council delegates conference here.

Muhyiddin said the ministry would also set up special English laboratories and encourage English literature in schools.

Another measure is to get retirees to teach.

“We are also looking at the content of the curriculum to ensure the teaching of English is effective,” he said adding that teachers would also be encouraged to use teaching aids such as the linguaphone.

(Linguaphone is one of the world’s leading language training provider of self-study and assisted learning language training solutions).

On the additional 13,000 English teachers the ministry hoped to recruit in the next few years, he said most would be from public and private universities and language institutes.

He said less than 10 per cent would be foreign teachers.

New English curriculum in schools by 2012

2009-07-17T23:40:00.001+08:00

THE STAR ONLINE

KUALA LUMPUR: The Education Ministry will draw up a new English curriculum that will be implemented in schools by 2012.

“We’re calling experts from the universities, NGOs (non-governmental organisations) and various bodies to discuss how we can establish a good English curriculum,” ministry director-general Tan Sri Alimuddin Mohd Dom said when officiating a National Union of Teaching Profession (NUTP) seminar Friday.

“This will be done in a span of four to five months from now.”

Alimuddin urged the public not to worry about a perceived decline in the standard of English when Mathematics and Science are taught in Bahasa Malaysia.

“I’m sure with the new strategy of Memartabatkan Bahasa Malaysia, Memperkukuhkan Bahasa Inggeris (Upholding Bahasa Malaysia, Strengthening English) and new approaches to teaching English, standards will improve,” he said.

Alimuddin said there had also been some negative feedback over his previous comment to siphon time away from other subjects for English, adding that the ministry would consider restructuring the entire timetable.

Alimuddin also announced that five teacher training colleges would be training teachers solely for English Language in three years’ time.

They are Institut Pendidikan Bahasa-Bahasa Antarabangsa, Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia Kampus Dato’ Razali Ismail, English Language Teaching Centre and two others in Sabah and Sarawak.

DUNGUN: Two 13-year-old girls were beaten up for 30 minutes by a group of schoolgirls at, of all places, a mosque last month.

The assault was recorded on a mobile phone and the matter was reported only two weeks later after a family member of one of the victims came across the video clip on the Internet.

The attack took place at 2.30pm on June 18, after Azani Jushar-miela Mohd Jaafar and her friend were forced to ride pillion on motorcycles ridden by three of their schoolmates, aged 14.

They were taken to the Felda Kertih mosque, some four kilometres away, and once inside, were beaten up by their seniors for almost 30 minutes. It was one of their attackers who recorded the assault on her handphone.

Both girls had to find their way home after the attack, and they kept the incident from their respective families.

This was until Jusharmiela's elder sister, Azani Juhaiza, 23, who had returned from Kuala Lumpur, heard rumours from neighbours that a video clip of the attack on her sister was on the Internet.

The clip was also being spread among students in the district.

Jusharmiela then confessed that she and her friend had been attacked over a misunderstanding with one of the seniors.

She also admitted that she had been traumatised as a result of the incident.

"I also found out that my sister and her friend had been suspended from school for three days last week, while two of her assailants were dismissed and another suspended for a few weeks," said Juhaiza.

Jusharmiela lodged a report at the Kuala Terengganu police headquarters at 8.30am yesterday.

State Criminal Investigation Department chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Fauzi said the case would be transferred to the Dungun police station.

PUTRAJAYA, Wed:
The Cabinet has decided that all national primary and secondary schools will teach Science and Mathematics in Bahasa Melayu beginning 2012.

Vernacular schools, meanwhile, will teach the subjects in either Chinese or Tamil respectively, Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin announced here today.He said the policy will be implemented in stages for Year One, Year Four, Form One and Form Four in 2012. The changes do not involve Form Six and Matriculation students.All examinations for Science and Mathematics will remain bilingual until 2014, so as to not jeopardise the performance of students under the current policy - Teaching of Science and Mathematics in English or its official abbreviation PPSMI (Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris).

"The Government made this decision after studying in detail the result of studies and close monitoring of the PPSMI by the Education Ministry and independent bodies since the policy was implemented in 2003," Muhyiddin said.

He said studies showed that PPSMI was never implemented as originally hoped. Instead, teachers were using both English and Bahasa Melayu to teach Science and Mathematics, and the gap between urban and rural schools in the two subjects grew wider after PPSMI was implemented.The Education Ministry monitored PPSMI in 2008 and found that only 8 per cent of teachers used English completely when teaching Science and Mathematics.

On average, English use was 53-58 per cent of the total time allocated for teaching the two subjects.The percentage of students that received grade A, B and C for Science and Mathematics in the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) exams also declined last year, in both urban and rural schools.Muhyiddin said the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study 2007, meanwhile, revealed that Malaysian students in Science slipped from 20th place in 2003 to 21st in 2007. For Mathematics, our students dropped from 10th placing in 2003 to 20th in 2007.

"Based on these data, the Government is confident that Science and Mathematics should be taught in a language that is easily understood by students, which is Bahasa Melayu in national and secondary schools, and Chinese and Tamil in vernacular schools," Muhyiddin said.At the same time, measures will be taken to strengthen the teaching and learning of English in schools, he added.

These include:

* Increasing the number of English teachers by 13,000, especially for rural schools.

* Teaching assistants for English will be allocated for large classes of more than 35 students in Years One and Two.

* Time allocated for English in Level 1 (Year One to Three) for national schools will be increased 90 minutes to 330 minutes a week, while for Level 2 (Year Four to Six) to 300 minutes a week.

* Time allocated for English in Level 1 at vernacular schools will be increased 100 per cent from 60 minutes to 120 minutes a week, and for Level 2 from 90 minutes to 120 minutes a week.

* Time allocated for English in Form One to Six will be added 80 minutes from 200 minutes to 280 minutes a week.

* Time allocated for Malaysian University English Test (MUET) in Form Six will be increased 80 minutes to 400 minutes a week.

* Time allocated for English in Matriculation courses will rise 100 per cent from three hours to six hours a week.

The ministry will also introduce a Contemporary English Literature Programme For Children to inculcate the reading habit and introduce elements of literature. English labs will be set up in schools to help students learn the language more effectively, incorporating information technology through the use of appropriate software.

To expose students to scientific terms, elements of science and technology will be absorbed into the teaching of English."With this decision, the Government is offering a new approach in the teaching of Science, Mathematics and English.

The Government believes that this new approach will strengthen Bahasa Melayu and English proficiency, and increase the capability of students to master science and technology, which is important for the country’s future," Muhyiddin said.
