LEARNER’S GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
This module has been prepared to assist you in organising your own learning so that
you may learn more effectively and resourcefully. You may be returning to study after
many years from formal education or you may possibly be unfamiliar with a self-
directed learning mode. This module gives you the opportunity to manage your own
learning and to manage the way in which you use your resources and time effectively.
SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING
Self-directed learning requires that you make decisions about your own learning. You
must recognise your own pattern and style of learning. It might be useful if you were
to set your own personal study goals and standard of achievement. In this way you
will be able to proceed through the course quite systematically. Asking for help when
you need it, ought to be viewed as creating new opportunities for learning rather than
as a sign of weakness.
AIM OF THE COURSE
This module is prepared for students who register for the Post Graduate Diploma in
Education (DPLI) programme offered by Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia (IPGM),
Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia.
STUDENT LEARNING TIME (SLT)
Based on the standards set by IPGM, KPM and the Malaysian Qualifications Agency
(MQA), each IPG student is required to complete a total of 40 hours of learning time
for every 1 credit hour. As for the DPLI (SM) programme which is conducted as a part-
time mode course or Kursus Dalam Cuti (KDC), 60% of the total hours of learning is
to be completed on full-time mode through face-to-face interaction ( Lecture/ tutorial
40% and Online interaction 20%) Meanwhile, 40% of the total hours of learning is to be
completed through self-directed learning using this module.

ARRANGEMENT OF TOPICS IN THE MODULE
This module is written according to Topics. A topic usually covers a certain number of
sub- topics. How long you take to go through a topic clearly depends on your own
learning style and your personal study goals. There are tasks set within a topic to help
you recall what you have learnt or to make you think about what you have read. Some
of these tasks will have answers and/or suggested answers. For tasks that do not
provide answers you might find it helpful to discuss them with someone like a
colleague, a classmate or a tutor.
ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION
Assignments that have to be handed in must be handed in according to schedule
given. This will be a means for you (and your Tutor) to know how much progress you
have made in your course. You should bear in mind that the process of learning that
you go through is as important as any assignment you submit or any task that you
have completed. So, instead of racing through the tasks and the reading, do take time
to reflect on them and learn through the process. There is an end of course
examination that you will be required to sit for. The date and time will be made known
to you towards the end of the course.

UNIT 1 LEARNING PROCESS
LEARNING OUTCOMES
SYNOPSIS
Process of learning involves learning readiness, conceptualization and perception,
memory and forgetting, learning transfer and implication process of learning toward
teaching and learning.
1.1 Introduction
In the process of learning, humans use sensory organs to gain information through the
selection of stimuli in their environment. It is then processed to make the experience or
knowledge to be practiced in a match situation. This process is considered a behavior
change.
1.2 LEARNING READINESS
1.2.1 Concepts of Learning Readiness
Learning readiness refer to internal situations of an individual who is ready and capable
to learn and acquire a certain new experience in learning.. Three psychologists its Thorndike,
Piaget dan Burner have given their opinion about learning readiness in their respective
learning theory. Thorndike give his opinion following theory of learning on behavioural sect.
Meanwhile Piaget and Bruner give their opinion based on theory of learning on cognitive sect.
Edward Lee Thorndike (1874-1949) suggested Readiness Law which are summarised briefly
as follows:
At the end of this topic, you will be expected to:
1. Analyze process of learning readiness.
2. Compare and contrast concept of perception and conceptualization.
3. Explain the memory and forgetting in learning process.
4. Explain how learning transfer can be done.
5. Elaborate implication learning process toward teaching and learning.

Readiness level Feeling
a) Individuals willing to do anything and can make it. Satisfied
b) Individuals willing to do anything and can not make it. Sad
c) Individuals are not ready and are forced to make. Angry
While Piaget and Bruner give their opinions based on cognitive learning theory. Jean
William Fritz Piaget (1896-1980) relates the readiness of learning with the cognitive
developmental stage of the child, namely:
a) Sensory - Motor (0-2 years)
b) Pre-operational (2-6 years)
c) Concrete operational (7-12 years)
d) Formal operational (after 12 years)
Jerome Seymour Bruner (1915 - 2016) argues that learning readiness refers to anything that
can be effectively communicated to children at any stage of its development stage.
1.2.2 Types of Learning Readiness
1. Cognitive Readiness
Cognitive readiness refers to an individual’s mental readiness to carry out activity
examples thinking, reasoning,analyzing, synthesizing (to create concept) and evaluating
(sloving problem). Cognitive readiness of students nowadays will determine the effectiveness
of a new learning process.
A student has cognitive readiness to learn something new when a student is willing
and able to carry out educational activities and receive benefits. In other words, his knowledge
achievements are worth with the effort and training needed. For example, Year One students
are said to have attained cognitive abilities / ability for Year Two learning when performing the
following tasks:
a) can say out A to Z.
b) Can count numbers from 1 to 50.
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY

According to the concept proposed by Piaget in Cognitive Development Theory, a
person's intellectual development is directly proportional to increase in age. Primary school
pupils are only willing to learn concrete operations (low cognitive readiness). Upon entering
high school, they began to be willing and ready to learn a complex operation (high cognitive
readiness). The characteristics of students with high and low cognitive readiness can be listed
as follows:
Low Cognitive Readiness High Cognitive Readiness
Can see only one aspect in an object / idea. Can see some aspects in an object.
Egocentric; can not accept the views of
others.
Knowledge structure began to be formal.
Understand the abstract concept.
Formulate hypotheses when solving
problems.
2. Affective Readiness
Affective readiness refers to the attitude of awareness, desire, passion, perseverance,
feelings and interests of a person to perform the learning activities. Affective readiness can
also be associated with intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is internal stimulus that exists
when a student feels that the basic needs (eg, feeling safe, loved) and desires (interests) are
met. If the intrinsic motivation of students is high, then the students will be ready to learn
(readiness is high affective) and students get the most benefit from the learning process.
Otherwise, if low intrinsic motivation, the affective readiness is also low. This will cause the
learning to be ineffective even if the student has done the same learning activities. The
relevance of affective readiness with learning effects is as follows:
The above is in conformity with the opinion expressed by Stanford (1971) that learning
is influenced by the attitude, and not by how many times a student revision of lessons.

Active and aggressive High
Passive and weak Low

3. Psychomotor Readiness
Psychomotor refers to physical action. Psychomotor readiness also means someone
who has the potential and physical maturity that involve muscle, bone and movement control
and coordination of the whole body. A person who has psychomotor readiness willing to do
physical action in a new learning process. Psychomotor readiness is high when the body
reaches maturity in accordance with the required physical training. Psychomotor readiness
level of children is different depending on his physical development.
Psychomotor readiness in children can be seen in activities that require coordination
of muscle movements such as:
a) Tying shoelaces
b) Write
c) Drawing
d) Hold the pencil
e) Call out sounds and more
Psychomotor high readiness will determine the perfect coordination of muscle
movements and can meet basic human needs. Psychomotor readiness is important for
students in subjects such as Arts Education, Physical Education, Life Skills and play musical
instruments.
1.2.3 Factors Influencing Learning Readiness
Various factors that can influence learning readiness include maturity, attitudes and
interests, growth rate differences, gender differences, individual differences and experiences.
(1) Maturity
Intellectual, emotional, physical and social maturity are closely related to the readiness
of students to learn. Do you realize that those who demonstrate high intellectual ability, better
control of feelings, exhibiting overall physical health and socializing in groups without problems
are those who show maturity in different aspects, thus affecting learning readiness.
(2) Attitude and Interest
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
5
Attitudes and interests play an important role in engaging learning readiness. Students
who demonstrate positive attitudes and interests are ready to learn and will perform better. On
the contrary, those who are not willing to learn, will be reluctant to focus on learning.
(3) Difference of Development Rate
Although individuals through the same stages of development, ie from infants to
children, adolescents and adults, the pace of physical, mental, social and emotional
development varies from person to person. Each individual has its own unique developmental
pattern. Therefore, pupils of the same group will not exhibit the same abilities during their
activities.
(4) Gender Differences
Men and women have differences in biological development and physical growth. In
the development of adolescents, women show a faster pace of development than men. This
can be seen clearly that women are taller and more mature than men from the fourth to the
lower secondary level. The difference in attitude and interest among the sexes will affect the
readiness of learning. Men are more likely to take science and mathematics while women will
take on home science. The difference in cultural value to the sex that will affect the readiness
of learning. For example, women are expected to be polite, while men are expected to be
active and aggressive.
(5) Individual Differences
Each individual demonstrates the difference in abilities in different fields. For example,
a student can excel in Mathematics and Science but is weak in Language and Music. There
are also some students performing well in academic performance but weak in physical activity.
In other words, teachers are not encouraged to label their pupils as 'stupid' or wise according
to their performance achievement in a single student.
(6) Experience
Past experiences form the basis for new experiences. Therefore, teachers are
encouraged to take into account their past experiences when planning their teaching
materials. Teaching materials need to be based on existing knowledge of new knowledge.
1.2.4 Steps to help learning readiness of the student.
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
6
Different learning readiness of a students require different treatment from the teacher.
There are a few steps made by the teacher to ensure that every student can really willing to
learn. The goal is that the students get comfortable and more fun to learn. Among the steps
are teachers should select appropriate contents for different classes. The activities must also
be different. For high achievement students, exercise must be more challenging to be given
to reinforce their skills. As for weak students, the teacher must give more instruction or teach
repeatedly so that students can go through the activities and goals of the same subject can
be achieved.
Teachers can use a variety of teaching-learning resources such as charts, pictures,
concrete objects, audio and video clips to meet the needs of different students' learning .
Various activities can also help learning readiness students. Teachers also must diversify its
activities as a group. Teachers can allow students to choose their own partners so that they
can felt comfortable in learning.
1.3 Perception
1.3.1 Definition and Concepts of Perception
According Kamus Dewan (1998), observation is defined as oversight or scrutiny.
Specifically, the observation is meant by the word perception, that picture or image in your
heart or mind (about something), the view (through the senses), or a response. Perception
involves the use of past experience in collecting and interpreting stimuli recorded by senses.
It combines both aspects of the outside world (stimulus information) as well as the inner world
(prior knowledge information) (Matlin, 1994). Best (1999) states that the observation process
is a process that uses sensible input and converts it to more abstract codes. These codes are
formed in the nervous system where physical energy is stored.
According to Secular and Blake (1994), observations include continuing sequence
translation of events from the physical world beyond the receiver to the pattern of activity found
in the recipient's nervous system, then end with its experience and response to the event.
Therefore, in order to understand the observation process, one should know the components
contained in the sequence of related events and how the components interact. According to
Slavin (1997) observation is an interpretation that gives meaning to sensory stimuli received
by the person. Specifically, perception is a picture or shadow in the heart or mind (about
something), view (through senses), or responses. Perception is a process in which the brain
receives information from senses, restructuring information and giving meaning to it.
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY

Perception is a process in which the brain receives information from the senses,
reorganize the information and give meaning to it. From here, it is clear that for us to make
perception not only pay attention to a stimulus, but we must give meaning to the stimuli that
arrive on our senses (Ee Ah Meng, 1997).
Perception is a process which our brain receives information from our senses (such as
eye sensory , hearing senses, the sense of taste, the sense of smell and the sense of touch),
reorganize it and give meaning to it. Normally, the information received is based on relevant
experience, interpret and formed the picture, image, meaning or concept of that stimulus. For
example, if a motorcycle pass by, one hears the sound (hearing senses), and she had seen
the objects (motorcycle) the sound (in the past), then the picture 'motorcycle' quickly imagined.
However, an individual who does not have this kind of experience will not be able to give
meaning to these sounds.
1.3.2 Organization of Perception
This means that the stimulus is perceived is always prepared and well organized in the
form of a simple, beautiful and symmetrical. So, the organization of perception involve the
mental process that organize information, interpret and form the concept based on past
experience. However, the determination the meaning of information depends on the
perception of the individual. Individuals will choose a meaningful stimulus for him and next
organize information sensory so they interpret the stimulus

In our daily life, most of the stimulus that we receive not consist of one by one, but not
separated. Gestalt psychologists also argued that humans tend to perceive things as a whole
rather than the parts.
1.3.3 Theory Of Perception Formation
Psychologists try to use Gestalt Theory and Law of Pragnanz to describe the formation
of human perception. The word gestalt comes from the German which means the shape,
pattern or configuration that is perceived. According to Gestalt theory (shape, pattern or
configuration), humans have a cognitive structure which the brain will organize information in
memory in the learning process. Gestalt theory stated that there are two important aspects its
figure and ground in human perception. Figure and ground can be changed position
depending on one of the main aspects.
Example: The illustration below contains the figure and ground.
Figure 2: Sample illustration containing gestalt and background.
When we pay attention to the figure (the white part), the perception that is a vase of
flowers while if attention is focused on the ground (black part) then we will see the two faces
of man. This is dependent on the selection of observers about the figure and ground.
According Ridzuan Hussin (2009) important for Gestalt theory is how students process the
information to determine what they learned. This theory also emphasizes on the thoughts,
beliefs, attitudes and values.
Gestalt psychologists put forward six principles of perception (perception) is known as the Law
of Pragnanz as follows:
(a) Proximity (b) Figure and ground
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
9
(c) Similarity (d) Symmetry
(e) Continuity ( f) Closure
1.4 Conceptualization
1.4.1 Concepts of Conceptualization
Hilgard, Atkinson and Atkinson (1979) has described conceptualization as a common
characteristic of a group of objects or ideas. With this, the conceptualization is a process of
concept formation. Bruner (1973) uses the word categorization as the formation of the concept
such as creating a category to differentiate things or objects that varied according to the same
characteristics of each individual. For example, animals are classified by specific characteristic
such as the type of animal that is divided into mammals, reptiles and amphibians.
Categorization allows us to identify, understand, learn, or remember them more easily.
Conceptualization is a process which the formation of the concept that learning
depends on the perception of students toward a stimulus and make the accurate response
to a concept to be delivered. However, in the process making the accurate response, students
often interrupted if a lot of stimulus around the surrounding.
1.4.2 Factors Influencing the formation of conceptualization or concept
a. Experience
The experience will help individual to create a concept. Without past experience the can be
related, students cannot form accurate concept.
Based on Pragnanz's Law, provide appropriate examples regarding the
principles of observation.

b. Imagination
Imagination is the mental ability of a person to imagine something even if no object or person
in front of him. Highly imaginative also accelerate the establishment of an individual
conceptualization.
c. Intelligence
Refers to a person's mental ability to see the relevance and use affiliations in the problem
solving process. High intelligence of an individual can accelerate it to make generalizations
and forming conceptualization.
d. Language proficiency
The formation of concepts require a good sentences and vocabulary. Misleading language
may cause the pupils forming a wrong conceptualization.
e. Examples
The examples given should be sufficient when teachers convey concept. This is because
students need to know better all the characteristics of concept to form a concept.
1.4.3 Summary
According Razhiyah (2006), every child who has a learning disability have different
problems and require different approaches. However, every child can be teach, and they
deserve a proper guidance. So, the teacher must think, plan teaching-learning strategies in
accordance with the student abilities. With the concentration of pupils toward lessons
delivered by teachers can be generated. As teachers, it is our responsibility to ensure factors
that increase the perception and conceptualization pupils can be realized.
1.5 Memory
Memory is a mental process that keeps things they have learned and then releases it
back in response to the situation required, such as solving problems or further teaching and
learning activities. According to Fein (1978), he interprets memory as the processing of
information received in the brain, stores and releases it. In addition, Verno (1980) argue
memory is to store the means information to be an experience in the future. In conclusion,
memory is the human ability to receive, process and store it in the brain, then release it when
needed.
1.5.1 Memory Process
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
11
According to Gagne's theory, stimulus received from the external environment in the
nervous system through human senses. This information will be in stores short-term memory
store, then sent to long-term memory store and further to the reaction by the nervous system.
In the short-term memory store, the information received will be encoded significantly in order
to more easily remembered, namely in the form of mental images or simple language symbols
based on the type of information received. The information will be stored encrypted within 15-
30 seconds and then sent to the long-term memory store to be stored in a few minutes or
forever. According to Gagne, information stored in long-term memory storage is important for
people to related them with new experiences, in order to facilitate new learning process
occurs.
1.5.2 Types of memory
Memory can be classified into three categories, namely sensory memory, short term
memory and long term memory. Firstly, sensory memory, which is known as memory sensory
because it serves as a recording senses. This sensory memory process time is very short,
usually occur a few seconds. This is due to the stimulus received by the sensory organs will
not stay long, but sent directly to short-term memory immediately.
The second type of memory is short-term memory. This memory function receives
information from memory sensory to be processed temporarily only, ie in 15-30 seconds. It
uses a short period to observe useful information, coding them in a system that is easy to
remember, and then sends it to long-term memory store. The information is not given attention,
usually considered less important or less useful would disappear in the process of forgetting.
The third type of memory is long-term memory. It works to receive and process the
information that was encoded from short-term memory to be stored in a longer time, maybe in
a few minutes to many years. The information received will be reprocessed and transferred to
a system that is easier and more systematic as in the file system that is divided by type and
category so that easily stored and removed.
There are four types of long term memory:
a) sematic memory;
b) episodic memories;
c) procedural memory; and
d) premiere memory.
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
12
There are four types of long-term memory semantic memory, episodic memory,
procedural memory and the premiere memory. First, semantic memory is the memory where
information is controlled by the fact in the life times of human from interaction with the
environment. It covers all the facts and experienced by someone. For example, information
related to school, work, reading, watching movies and from other experiences.
Second, episodic memory, where it refers to all information that has been related from
past experience such as the date, the place, the year connection with a special event, whether
sweet or bitter experience that can not be forgotten by the individual. For example, the
involvement of a person in an accident, 21st birthday, graduation day one and so on.
While the third, procedural memory. It involves the steps and procedures of daily
practice. For example, it involves the steps involved in making a cake, driving a car to work,
and others. This memory can undergo a process of forgetting if it is not used regularly.
Fourth, premiere memory where it involves the daily practice information that has
become synonymous and automatically to someone. Some examples of premiere memory is
the house number, telephone number of the police or an ambulance, family member's name,
identity card number and ATM card and so on. One problem in the memory is in the process
encoding failure will prevent this information from entering long-term memory. Sometimes, the
information in this stage is forgotten when it not came to long-term memory.
1.5.3 Factors that affect memory
Factors that affect memory can be categorized into three main categories, namely
learning materials, methods of learning and personal factors. The first category is learning
materials. This category includes four aspects, namely the length, the difficulty,position and
meaningful material. First, the length of learning materials where according H.Ebbinghaus
study, he found that the learning of syllables that are not meaningful and do not exceed 7 in
number, usually can remember having read once. If added up to 12 syllables, it is necessary
to read 17 times before could remember, and if added 16 syllables again, it requires a read
30 times only can remember.
Secondly, the difficulty of learning materials, according to Kruger (1946), in his
research, found that materials that are too easy, progress in the early stages moving very
quickly, but quickly retreated in a short time. This is due to a less demanding learning
materials, learning interest can not be raised, therefore this memory will not stay long. For
learning materials that are too difficult, there is no progress at all because of lack of ability to
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
13
learn. For those difficulty learning, the difficulty can be overcome by the earnest efforts,
progress can be maintained continuously.
Thirdly, the position of learning materials by Kingsley (1957), sets single syllables and
words that are listed in an orderly manner, found the syllables and words are located in the
beginning and end are easier to remember than in the middle, especially for memory
meaningless syllables. There are many examples that we can describe daily life. For example,
we tend to remember events that occurred in the first and the last school day of the events
that in between them. Similarly, we more easily remember the events of New Year's Day and
the end of the day of the events that taking place between other festivals throughout the year.
The fourth is a meaningful of learning materials. According to Kingsley study shows
learning meaningful words it's easier than a set of meaningless syllables. In other words, that
learning meaningful materials are more easily remembered than learning materials that are
not meaningful.
While the second category is a method of learning. It is a way of learning that is used
during the learning that affect memory. Its study covers two main aspects: firstly, study
separately is more effective than the time to learn all at once. In the study by Done and Hilgard
(1937), the candidate test is divided into four groups as follows; Group A study for one minute,
rest a minute; Group B study two minutes, three minutes' rest; Group C learn one minute, rest
for eleven minutes and three minutes of group D study, rest a minute. The results show
learning group C is the best, followed by group B, group A and finally group D. This means
learning separately followed by adequate rest time is more easily to be recall than learning
use a lot of time more than rest time.
Second, excessive learning (over-learning) is also an important factor for effective
learning. In the training, if successfully mastered all the learning steps, may be consider to
have achieved a hundred percent learning. For example, memorizing a poem which requires
five times full reading, then referred to as the achievement of one hundred percent. Despite
having been able to achieve one hundred percent learning, this learning so far is very easy to
forget. Therefore, to preserve the memory, after a hundred percent learning, need to read it
several times.
The third category is the personal factor. Among the personal factors such as age,
gender, ability, motives, emotions, health, personality and so on, also affect memory after
learning. Firstly, the age factor that many people believe that the learning is strongest when
children, especially child aged 8-9 years. However, some studies have shown the strongest
learning actually is between the ages of 8-20 years. In the Thorndike (1928) research, test

candidates of ages 8 to 70 are selected to study the teaching of Esperanto, an international
language created by Dr. Zamenlof in 1887. The results of his study showed the best progress
is ages 8-20 years. After 20 years, his progress slowed, and reached its peak in the age of 25
years. After the age of 35, learning abilities begin to decline, and at the age of 42 years, it has
been down by 22 percent from peak levels.
Secondly, the gender in the learning and memory abilities between men and women
is not much difference. Potential technical skills, such as playing a musical instrument, sewing,
writing, painting and so on, between men and women is almost equal. In language learning,
the ability of women and men are not much different.
Thirdly, the relevance of motivation with learning which many psychologists believe
that motivation is closely related to learning. In school, preferably reward as motivation to
encourage learning because many studies have proven the reward is more effective than
punishment. This is because the rewards encourage the desired behavior while the
punishment prevent unwanted behaviors continue. Thus, the reward is a positive motivational
effect, while the effect of punishment is a negative motivation.
There are some learning activities that the motivation is created naturally and without
any reward. For example, children who played ball games or a musical instrument, Do not
need to use a reward or punishment for their control. This is because they get satisfaction
from the activity. Summary, if the students themselves involve in learning situations, and
activities obtained success or a satisfactory achievement, then the motivation for learning
occurred and retained in memory.
Fourthly, emotion where it is a feeling like sad, happy, scare and others. The emotions
that affect memory can be classified into two main types, namely fun (happy) or less fun (sad),
and anxiety (worry) or quiet. Normally men can remember events or experiences that are fun
and have a tendency to forget a sad event or experience or less fun.
Discuss how short-term memory can be used as a long-term memory?

1. 6 Forgetting
The process of forgetting is contrary to the process of memory. All the information that
has been received in memory stores but could not remember or was retrieving from the
reaction been removed in the process of forgetting. According to Erikson (1963), forgetting is
a motive which certain information deliberately forgotten because it is considered not
important, less fun or useful based on a person's mental awareness. And forgetting interpreted
as extinction or loss of one's perception of the information that has been learned.
1.6.1 Types of forgetting
Human beings are endowed to forget the bitter events in the past. Forgetting also has
its advantages. If code storage overflow, it can lead to mental paralysis. There are seven types
of forgetting, firstly obsolete forgetting. Obsolete occurs when information stored in long-term
memory is forgotten because of infrequent use. This means that the codes stored information
is not active and not be recalled. Secondly, failure forgetting where individuals fail to recall
specific information. Whenever people learn new information, the brain will create a special
sign of memory for the information. If this information is not been use and call back, it will
eventually disappear.
Thirdly, replacement forgetting where it occurs when new information replaces the old
memory. For example, learning mathematical formulas that can be calculated for shorter way
will replace the same mathematical formulas that are longer and misleading. The fourth type
of forgetting is disturbance forgetting. Disturbance forgetting is interference glitch that occurs
as a result of new learning or past learning.
There are two types of disturbance forgetting retroactive and proactive. Retroactive
interference is a disorder that occurs as a result of new learning disrupt past learning.
Therefore, past learning information been forgotten. It happens when a past learning materials
are not well understood or have not yet reached the level of effective learning. Thus, the new
learning will disrupt long learning. While proactive disturbance were learning was long lasting
and steady in mind disturbing new study. This means that a person may refuse to accept new
learning.
Fifth, desperate forgetting is occurs as a result of an ordeal or a painful event. Thus,
individuals will deliberately reject to the brain as a mechanism of self-defense. Sixth anxiety
and fear forgetting. This forgetting occurs in stressful conditions such as individuals who are
anxious or when students are in the examination hall. Forgetting also occurs when pupils are
unable to recall important notes and this process is known as "mental block". Sixth, the
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
16
explosion of information forgetting. The information is too much to be learned and that has no
related on each other can also cause forgetting process. Pupils mind confused and caused
them to panic and forget the important facts. Lastly type of forgetting is a failure to store.
Important information will be forget when not reach to long-term memory. Failure to encod will
prevent information into long-term memory.
1.6.2 Factors of forgetting
Firstly, the interest most of the things that are not favored by the students will be easily
forgotten by them because they do not focus 100% on teaching. They are also less keen to
see the relevance of the material that has been learned and this can cause them to forget
easily. The second factor is scare and worry. Students who are feeling scare and worry is very
difficult to recall the words that are taught by the teacher. Teachers are fierce and unfriendly
also will cause students' ability to think and remember the lessons.
The third factor is the passage of time. The longer distance between being studied and
remembered, the more blurred the information stored in long-term memory of students. The
memory trace gradually weakened, blurring occur with the passage of time, the information
will be lost from memory. The fourth factor, obsolete will cause difficulty recalling events or
past experiences related to her in the changing environment. Old information that stored in
long term memory will be outdated and not suitable for use in a new environment. For example,
Ahmad has a memorable experience of his village. However, after he returned 25 years later,
he found his village has changed rapidly. Old information in the long-term memory is not to be
used again.
The fifth factor, the bitter experience. Individuals who avoid the bitter experience with
intentional the bad memoirs refused to the brain unconsciously did not want to remember it
again. This information is stored permanently in memory but does not rise to the level of
conscious human brain. This is self defense mechanism way to adapt to its environment. The
sixth factor, not enough time to remember. If a teacher has requested a reply immediately,
then the student cannot answer the question correctly. This is because students feel the
pressure and the brain needs enough time to recall a fact. And a seventh factor, confidence
level. High confidence level that simplifies the process of memory while the low level of
confidence that simplifies the process of forgetting. For example, a teacher who high
confidence will delivering the contents smoothly in the process of teaching and learning.
The eighth, the lack of clarity on the memory. New information cannot be integrated
into the structure of cognitive effectively because poor explanation from teacher and
understanding of student is low. This new information could not be attributed to the existing
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
17
knowledge of students. Thus, the concepts are taught by teachers should be categorized
effectively to determine the smoothness of the memory. The ninth, proactive interference and
retroactive interference. Proactive interference occurs when past learning disturbing new
learning. Retroactive interference occurs when long learning is still not well understood, but
the teacher has taught new learning. The last factor is too much information to keep in mind.
Students will find it difficult to remember if too much information that needs to be remembered.
This normally happens during the exam when too many facts or learning content to be
remember.
1.6.3 How to improve memory and reduce forgetting
Firstly, teachers need to use the learning materials that are meaningful and relevant to
the students life. Secondly, teachers improve the learning content using a variety of ways from
easy to difficult, concrete to abstract, close to far and small to large. Thirdly, improve methods
of learning through student teachers bilateral interaction, students are free to ask and express
opinions and to plan interesting and effective learning activities. Fourth, arranging a timetable
in which difficult subjects such as mathematics, chemistry and physics in the morning, while
subjects such as art in the afternoon or evening.
Fifth, using mnemonic techniques. It is used to recall the memory in long-term memory.
Sixth, teachers guide students how to learn effectively or Meta-cognitive skills such as the
conclusion or summary notes technique, time management techniques, creating a mind map
or the concept map and so on. Seventh, teachers need to distance learning content to be
conveyed. Avoid teach a lesson to the information or content that is too compact. Eighth,
teachers should use teaching materials that means. Teachers emphasize important contents
in the teaching. Ninth, teachers use visual teaching aids.
Memory and forgetting are two important things related to learning. In information
processing, human learn a lot of things but at the same time what is learned that the only part
that can be remembered while the more through the process of forgetting. As a teacher it is
important to take certain steps so that the students can improve memory and reduce forgetting
during their learning process.
1.7 Transfer of Learning
Transfer of learning means a person's ability to apply and utilize the knowledge and
skills learned in the context to a new or different situation and context . In other words, take
what we have learned and adopts again in different situations.
1.7.1 Types of transfer learning
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
18
There are several types of learning transfer included positive transfer and negative
transfer. Firstly, positive transfer can be classified into two categories: lateral transfers and
vertical transfer. Lateral transfer refers to the individual's experiences and can apply it to a
situation that is similar or the same level of difficulty. For example, children learn the meaning
of words to gain more knowledge. The vertical transfer refers to the improvement of existing
experience to a higher level. It involves learning principles, laws and theorems. For example,
students learn the concepts of the quadrangle, the students can complete the side of the
square and rectangles.
Secondly, negative transfer is a past learning that disrupt new learning and cause
confusion and lead to the wrong transfer of learning. The reasons prevailing negative learning
transfer is proactive interference, habit and retroactive disturbance. Proactive interference
occurs where the before learning disrupt next learning. For example, studying Physics
disturbing Chemistry subject. The retroactive learning occurs when new learning is disrupted
prior learning. For example, after learning English, students forgot the structure Bahasa
Malaysia that previously studied. Habit disturbance also occur when old habits interfere with
new habits. For example, students who have a habit of writing left hand will interfere with the
formation of a habit to write with right-handed.
In addition there are other types of learning transfers, namely bilateral transfer,
intermediate transfer, learning set transfer and zero transfer. Firstly, bilateral transfer, also
known as cross education. It involves the transfer of learning and skills training such as
Physical Education. For example, use the left hand exercises are believed can help exercise
your right hand. Secondly, intermediate transfer, it happens after students master one reaction
and use it as an intermediary to form a new response. For example, after mastering the
pronunciation of syllables, the students easier learn spelling words.
Thirdly, the learning set transfer. Learning set is the result of learning techniques learn
from past learning experience repeatedly. For example, students are given multiply topics
exercises repeatedly and students can master the multiply operation properly.
Fourthly, zero transfer, it means that there is no transfer. Someone tried to use the skill
or concept to a new study but did not cause any effect. This occurs because the use of existing
concepts or skills do not have a direct relationship with the new concept. For example, using
the plus concept operation to learn the divide operations in mathematic.
1.7.2 Principle of Learning Transfer
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
19
According to C. Ellis (1965), there are several principles of learning transfer, namely
firstly, the principle of equality. This phenomenon of learning easier transfer occurs when both
learning has similar and identical element. The second principle is the principle a lot of basic
training. The more basic training reorganized for early learning, transfer of learning will be
more relevant to learning. The third principle, the principle of diversity stimulus. The more
diversified training for early learning, transfer of learning more relevant to learning. The fourth
principle is the principle of strengthening the concept. Mastery of the concepts, principles or
law is easier to facilitate the transfer of learning. The last principle is the principle of insight.
Transfer of learning occurred with efficiency by using insight through drills.
1.7.3 Strategy and principles to improve the transfer of `positive learning in teaching and learning.
Some of the proposed strategies and principles to enhance the positive learning in
teaching and learning, including firstly, the explicit objectives. Second, the emphasis on the
acquisition concepts and enhance thinking skills. Thirdly, cumulative experience and
systematic organization and a fourth, concept teaching by suitable examples. Firstly,
determining explicit objectives. According Ausubel (1957) research that he found students
who were told of learning objectives and structure of examination before learning have
performed better than being told after learning. This is because students have readiness to
memorize important fact or concept.
Secondly, the emphasis on the acquisition concepts and enhance thinking skills. In
order to remember things, we can think of something to represent principles. Thus, things are
not meant can be something meaningful. For example, to remember the number "19572020"
more easily, we can use a word that means "Merdeka, Vision"
Thirdly, cumulative experience and systematic organization. In the event of negative
learning, namely past experience is not quite right for a new learning then two principles that
is experience should be arranged systematically from the basic experience to the more
complex and links between subjects, for example Mathematics concepts associated with the
concept of Physics
Fourthly, teach concepts with appropriate examples. In teaching and learning
activities, concept description with relevant examples will make it easier for students to
understand the concept. For example, teachers explain lever concepts and provide examples
such as scales, seesaw, angler rod and hammer as an example of a lever.
1.7.4 Conclusion
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
20
According to Razhiyah (2006), every child with learning problems has different
problems and needs different approaches. However, every child can be taught and they
deserve the right guidance. So, the teacher should think about, planning the teaching-learning
strategies according to the level of the students. Thus, the concentration of the students on
the lessons presented by the teacher can be raised. As a teacher, it is our responsibility to
ensure that factors that enhance pupils' perceptions and perceptions can be created.
Teachers should also apply the thought practices that promote the transfer of positive learning
among students. Positive learning transfers can be nurtured if students are motivated to be
high-risk, risk-taking, attentive and have a sense of responsibility to master learning.

Synopsis
This chapter covers the sub topic such as Information Processing Model, Behavioural
Model, Social Model and Personal Model. Also discuss about the characteristics and
principles of each model of teaching, implications of teching models toward teaching and
learning are also emphasized. This knowledge will guide teachers in planning the steps in
teaching to enable them to implement the teaching process effectively. In addition, the
knowledge appropriate in order to form a complete teaching frame for supervisors and
researchers about the teaching process as well as basic guidelines for teachers to make
modifications to the process of teaching.
2.1 INTRODUCTION
What the meaning of Model Teaching?
Model teaching refers to a framework that includes the content, strategy and social
climate of classrooms that can create a learning environment for our students.
The teaching model is "a description of a learning environment, including our behavior
as teachers when that model is used" (Joyce, Weil, & Calhoun, 2009, p.24). This means the
teaching model is a teaching blueprint. This model is a prescriptive strategy designed to
achieve teaching goals. The teaching model, which consists of simple teaching and learning
procedures, can be used as a guide for planners and teachers because teaching procedures
are essential for effective teaching.
Furthermore, after using it as a teaching and learning guide, the teaching model helps
teachers gain feedback on the effectiveness of the teaching and follow-up activities to be taken
for improvement.
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
22
The findings of various instructional models developed by researchers, Joyce and Weil (2009)
have categorized four model groups:
i. Information Processing Model
ii. Behavioris Model
iii. Social Model and
iv. Personal Model
2.1.1 Information Processing Model
Information processing model equalized human memory with computer, which uses
input-output model. Information is input obtained by human from the learning environment.
The information is processed and stored in memory. Later, this information can be output
Before you go further, try to reflect on what has happened during your childhood. List what parents or teachers to do help you learn the following behaviors: 1.How to wear school uniform? 2. How to ride a bike? 3. How do you memorize multiple?

through the retrievel process. Then, the information processing is a mental operation how
humans learn involves the process of to receive, encode, store and recall back information.
There are three phases of memory during information processing occurs in the human brain.
Three phase is a list of sensory memory / sensory, short-term memory and long term memory.
Sensory Memory/Sensory
• The main input from sight and sound.
• Processing occurs in 3-5 seconds
• Input passed over to short-term memory for the actual processing.
• The information received usually monitored at the level of attention normally low
• and therefore the response is also selective. For example, when driving a car while
talking, someone could drive and talk.
Short-Term Memory
• The information which transferred into short-term memory will be in an active state for 15-
20 seconds without training and longer if there is a practice.
• Short-term memory capacity is limited to 7 + 2 items.
• Three ways to deal with the cognitive tasks inside short-term memory:
i. Chunking, meaning divide into small portions.
ii. Process one by one at one point (serial processing)
iii. Practical skills up to the automatically level. for example remember phone numbers,
88432575 to 88-43-25-75, its 4 chunk than 8 units.
• The information in short-term memory will disappear / fade if not repeated within 20 seconds or the number of items exceed 5-9 units.
Long Term Memory Store
• The information for future reference is stored in long-term memory.
• Long-term memory is a knowledge permanent store, such as the ability to remember phone
numbers.
• Has capacity and unlimited time period.
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
24
• Concepts learned are stored in the significant relevance network hierarchy(scheme).
• Three categories of long-term memory that is semantic, episodic and procedural.
2.1.2 History of Information Processing Teaching Model
Robert M. Gagne in his book Essentials of Learning for Instuction (1975) proposed a
theory about how people get information in a learning process. According to his theory,
stimuli from the external environment will be accepted in the nervous system through human
senses. This information will be interpreted in the store memory, then sent to store long-term
memory and eventually to drive the reaction by the nervous system.
According to Gagne, the experiences stored in the long-term memory store are
important for humans to relate them to new experiences in order to facilitate the learning
process. Gagne identifies and recommends eight phases commonly experienced by people
in a learning motivation phase, understanding phase, storage phase, the phase of retention,
recall phase, the phase of generalization, performance phase and phase response.
Principles of Information Processing Teaching Model
2.1.3 Four Main Processes Involved in Information Processing Models

The process that determines how information is stored in all three memory stores.
3) Retrieval
The process that allows information to be removed from short-term memory and long-term
memory.
4) Forgetting
Processes that cause information to be 'lost' or difficult to remember from short-term memory
and long memory.
Concept teaching begins with the theory of development of Piaget and Bruner.
Conceptual teaching goals are to help students gain understanding of the subjects learned
and to provide a foundation for high-level thinking. Teaching concepts are designed to teach
the main concepts and apply to other lessons.
Phase of Teaching Concept: -
1) Submit the goal.
2) Examples of input.
3) Test for the achievement of the concept.
4) Analysis of the students' thinking process.
The learning environment for concept teaching is structured and teacher-centered.
The teacher's role is to provide feedback on the ideas of students, promote student
involvement and support students to develop reasoning abilities.
Learning concept starting with the relationship of language and discrimination, which
recognize the characteristics of a concept precisely. Students can form a good concept after
making perceptions and observations on objects, people and events. (Matserippdhl 2008).
Students should be exposed to a lot of examples that clearly so that he can form a concept
of the right and proper. Learning law involves a combination of two or more related concepts
in a sequence or series. This learning involves the use of formulas, principles and
generalizations.
The use of Gagne's learning principles
• Principles from simple (basic) to complex ones.
• Effective learning includes eight steps which include eight phases interact with the eight
phases of teaching and learning.
2.1.4 AUSUBEL INFORMATION PROCESSING MODEL
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
26
• Humans acquire knowledge mostly in the form of receptive learning and not discoveries
learning.
• Ausubel introduces expository learning.
• Explanation of instructional materials by teachers in the form of facts is organized and
described in sequence.
Ausubel's teaching and learning principles.
• Using the principle of the learning of the reception is the model of expository teaching.
• Use the initial arrangement - remember the concepts learned and associate them with the
new concepts to learn.
Eight types of Learning to Acquire Information in 1977, Gagne try to elaborate eight types of
learning from simple levels to complex levels:
1. Signal learning
Primitive For example: Through experience,people learn the signals of smoke like as fire. 2. Stimulus-response learning
Relates stimuli which had been planned and stimulated by individual responses . For
instance, the teacher displays a concrete object, students say out its name.
3. Learning through chaining
Refers to various relationships which occur after the process of stimulus-response learning. For example, one can make sentences by relating words, or synthesizing a few skills to become a complex skill 4. Learning through verbal association
A basic form of learning a language. Relating the name of a person with his address. 5. Learning through mutiple discrimination
Refers to selecting one response only from various stimuli in learning. For example, after learning the difference in pronouncing the symbol e and ê, it will enable a pupil to pronounce properly Malay words such bela, sêmak.
6. Concept learning
Learning in forming concept with representative symbols based on the same characteristics.
For instance, beg, book ,, car or fruit represent the concept of these concrete objects
7. Principle learning
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
27
Learning the relationship between two or more concepts which have been learned. For example, ”Water flows to a lower level” is a principle.
8. Problem-solving
Learning through thinking process i.e. to think of a way to solve problem by using concepts
and principles which have been learning. For example, in order to solve a mathematics
problem, pupils ought to use number symbol.
2.1.5 Implication of Information Processing Model on teaching and learning.
i. Student involvement is strongly encouraged
ii. The process of thinking increases more effectively
iii. Different types of examples in the lesson should be provided to help students form the concept. iv. Inductive reasoning of the students can be nurtured
RESEARCH: EXPLORATION VARIOUS MEDIA
2.2. Behavioural Model
This teaching model focus on behaviors that can be observed and a clear
assignment and how to inform the progress of the students, the teaching model has a broad
research base (Joyce, Calhoun and Hopkins, 2002). Among the models in the collection of
behavioural teaching model is the Mastery Learning (Bloom, 1968) and Directed Teaching
(Good et al., 1994)
Directed Teaching
Directed Teaching based on behavioural theory and social learning. Teachers who
teach accordance with the principles, formulate objectives that describe accurately the
behavior who have done by the student; provide learning experiences such practices where
learning can be monitored and feedback is provided; and pay attention to look at how the
behavior in the classroom is rewarded. Direct learning is a approach for teaching basic skills,
where the goal-directed lessons and learning environment is structured.
You can extend your knowledge of teaching models by surfing the
internet and making further reading on other referral sources and
having discussions with other friends.
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
28
Directed teaching consists of three aspects, namely the type of student learning
outcomes, the learning environment and teaching activities. Directed teaching instruction is
designed to stimulate structured students' knowledge and been taught step by step, then this
type of teaching is teacher-centered teaching and consists of five steps, namely:
Determine the set of teaching:
• explanation / demonstration
• practical / supervised training
• feedback
• practice / practice continued
Steps in the directed teaching process
(i) Introduction
Attract students, such as introduce new information
(ii) Developments
Includes a clear explanation about information with provide many examples
(iii) Guided Exercise
Exercise actively can improve memory, learning will be more automated and allows students
to transfer learning to new situations.
(iv) Closure
Lesson been summarized and teachers had the opportunity to flash back at what was being
taught
(v) Self Exercise
Aiming to determine the level of proficiency that achieved by students
(Vi) Evaluation
Assessment tool used to assess student progress either formative or cumulative.

Mastery Learning
Mastery learning is a teaching method for individuals using a structured curriculum that
is divided into small units of knowledge and skills to be learned. This model ensures that the
majority of students reached mastery as a time of learning is flexible and each student received
instruction learning, training needs and feedback. Mastery learning involves teaching based
on group, remedial and enrichment individually. Mastery learning is an approach for teaching
and learning to ensure that all students master the learning outcomes in a unit of before
moving to the next learning unit (Curriculum Development Centre, 2001).
In this strategy, teachers diagnose student's abilities and then suggest appropriate
individual learning activities. Two key elements of mastery learning is the instructions and the
use of time is precise.
An important element in mastery learning are:
• Define clearly what needs to be learned and how the assessment was conducted.
• Allows students to learn according to their own abilities
• To assess progress and give feedback and
• Testing to determine that the learning criteria have been achieved.
Principles of Mastery Learning:
• All normal students can master anything is taught by the teacher.
• Learning is divided into small units where knowledge compiled from easy to difficult
• The time allotted should be sufficient and flexible for all students to achieve the learning outcomes. • The teacher is confident that all different abilities students can master anything that been taught. Teachers also need to encourage students to master something that been teach. • Teachers need to plan and diversify teaching methods with regard to students' learning styles. • Teachers are encouraged to diversify the teaching and learning methods or activities so that they can master anything that been taught in a short time.
• Teachers need to be skilled in:
i. Diagnosing students to know the level of student achievement.
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
30
ii. Knowing the differences between students
iii. Use a variety of teaching methods and planning a various activity of fun teaching and learning. iv. Managing various teaching aids
v. Keep a record of pupil progress
vi. Conduct summative assessments to detect learning outcomes.
vii. Planing and implementing suitable remedial and enrichment activities.
2.3. Social Model
The social model is designed to take the opportunity to build a learning community The
aims of this model to help students sharpen thinking through productive interaction and
collaboration with other individuals and function as a member in the group (teamwork). This
model helps to develop the perspective of individuals and groups in clarifying and developing
ideas.
According to Joyce et al. (2001), Social Model train students to use the skills of listening
and understanding the context, ability to arrange information immediately and formulate
questions to obtain data and can merge all the information to solve the problem. This means
that the social model emphasizes the element of social interaction as students work together
to accomplish a task that involves the following activities:
• collect information
• review and analyze information
• assess and interpret
• doing conclusion
Coperative Learning
Cooperative learning pioneered by Slavin (2005) is an active learning that capable to
transform a passive learning situation to a dynamic and student-centered. They can learn in a
team that is heterogeneous, interdependent, not compete with each others, but together move
towards the goal achievement as a team (Hemich et al., 2005).
Cooperative learning activities carried out in democratic learning environment, where
students play an active role in determining how to achieve their learning achievement, while
teachers play a role in structuring the group and procedures. Six concept of cooperative
learning is a team, willingness to cooperate, management of cooperative, collaborative skills,
basic principles of cooperative learning and cooperative learning structures (Kagan, 1994)
• Team
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
31
Creating a team usually consists of 3 or 4 members who heterogeneous, consisting of
members of the the intelligent, moderate and weak. The formation of groups is random or
determined by the teacher based on ability, gender and ethnicity in order to achieve
heterogeneity in the team.
• Management of cooperative learning
Provide a conducive situation, including the rules of the classroom, appropriate students sitting
positions, skills to give directions, get the students attention, questioning skills and role in
observing and guiding groups.
• The willingness to cooperate
Three ways willingness to establish cooperate and maintained, namely the formation of the
team, the use of cooperative tasks and reward or recognition system. Teachers need to design
a task that requires contributions from all members in the group where poor students will be
guided by other members to achieve good grades.
• Skills for cooperation
Students need help in aspects of listening skill, resolving conflicts, certainty and change
something and encourage other members to acquire learning. Ways to foster the social skills
included learning through observation, modeling, role play, description, reinforcement and
training or practice social skills. According to Kagan, the four most important methods is
modeling and reinforcement, assignment of role playing, restructuring and reflection.
• Principles of cooperative learning
Cooperative learning has principles, namely PIES, comprising P: Positive Independence; I:
Individual Accountability; E: Equal Participation; and
S: Simultaneous Interaction.
Cooperative learning strategies have been developed in a variety of variations, among them
the Think-Pair-Share, Students Teams Achievement devition, Games-Tournament Teams,
Jigsaw, and so on.
Browse the website to explain the following:
1. Principles of PIES in cooperative learning.
2. Implications of the social model in teaching and learning.
2.4. Personal Model
Personal learning model starts from the perspective of the individual self. This model
emphasizes the create of the individual self and encourage students to be independent in a
productive and have self-awareness and responsibility for their own goals.
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
32
The aim of personal model is to form a competent personalities, integrated and
confident. The main goal is the formation of the individual as well as the achievement of
individual self-esteem. Thus, the model consists of approach to form and integrate the
emotional and intellectual aspects in order to produce a balanced personality.
Non-Directive Model (Learning Through Counseling)
Non-Directive Model by Carl Rogers described the philosophy and techniques of
teaching personal model. This model would create a community of students who are
disciplined and have high personal awareness. In this model, teaching will focus human
relationships than teaching concept. Rogers used the therapy as a way of teaching.
Teachers are considered as a counselor, where the emphasis is an alliance between
teachers and students. Teachers play a role to guide students toward understanding how
students can play a major role in their learning for the sake of self-achievement. In the process
of self-development, teachers provide feedback about their progress and help students solve
a problem or task.
According to Joyce et al., (2002), the purpose of the non-directive model is:
• Determine the direction of students towards mental and emotional health is higher by forming
self-confidence, a realistic self-esteem and feeling empathy for others.
• Improve the education that emphasizes the needs and aspirations, in which each student is
taken as a coalition to determine what and how students learn.
• Establish a special type of qualitative thinking such as creativity and personal expression.
Here are the phases of non-directive learning model:
Phase 1
Identify and define the situation Teachers encourage student express feeling
Phase 2
Explore the problem. Students are encouraged to describe the problem. Teachers receive and clarify their feeling.
Phase 3
Forming a new meaning. Students discuss the problem. Teachers provide support to students

3.1 Introduction
Microteaching is a practical training session in a controlled and less stressful. It focuses
on training to achieve specific teaching skills gradually and in stages. Reflection writing is a
process of reflection, analyzing, finding reasons, suggestions and actions for self-
improvement that is done on an ongoing basis. Besides observing teachers' strengths and
weaknesses to carry out appropriate follow-up activities it also aims to provide immediate
feedback on the performance of the trainee teacher. Increase the level of self confidence so
that trainee teachers are better prepared for the real situation of the classroom.
3.2 Micro Teaching Basic Skills

At the end of this topic, you will be expected to:
1. knowing about planning and writing daily lesson plan. 2. knowing about basic skills and the implementation of micro-teaching
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY

Micro teaching is a simulation technique that aims to give trainee teachers in teaching
experience as well as master the skills of teaching in a similar situation to the teaching activity
in the class room. The skills of teaching chosen are the skills of teaching are important and
often used to carry out the teaching activity in the class room during training practice in school
and after graduation teaching at the Institute of Teacher Education. Among the skills of
teaching are usually chosen for micro teaching sessions are:
• Presentation set induction skill
• Using of questioning skill
• Management various stimulus skill
• Skills of explain using examples, illustrations and teaching learning resources
• Skills in using storytelling techniques
• Management reinforcement activities skill
• Implementation closure skill
To carry out a micro-teaching sessions,trainee teacher that involved can choose one
of the skills above and planning a lesson plan based on the principles, objectives and the
components skills. Since teaching skills are only a fraction of the time that in real lesson, the
time of implementation this teaching skill in a micro-teaching sessions will take between 5 to
10 minutes, depending on the needs of the specific types of teaching skill in the teaching
activities.
Activity 1
3.2.1 Presentation set induction skills
Set Induction is the beginning of a process of teaching. The main purpose of set
induction is to build the mind and arouse the interest of the students so that they will fully
attention to the teaching activities to be delivered. There are several ways to present set
induction or beginning the lesson. Among them is the use of teaching aids, motivation,
questioning techniques, revision-related topics, guide students to recall back the lessons that
have been learned and so on. Since the purpose of set induction is only used to build up
students thought only and is not part of the learning contents of students, the provisions
implementation of this set induction should be kept simple and short, usually not more than 5
minutes in a class.
3.2.2 Using of questioning skill.
Why is micro teaching important to a trainee teacher? Give your
opinion.
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
38
Questioning technique is an important technique in teaching activities. Almost all the
teaching and learning process involves the use of questioning techniques. For example, in set
induction as the beginning of a lesson, questioning skills to help students recal backl previous
knowledge that related. In the development stage, the questioning skills to unearth the mind
of students to help them attend classes with more of effectively. At the closure stage, the
questioning skills are used to assess learning outcomes. Socratic method is a method that
uses a series of questions to guide students to find a conclusion. Therefore, trainee teacher
must master the skills of questioning to achieve success lies in teaching activities.
3.2.3 Management various stimulus skill.
Variations stimulus is a diversified methods and presentation technique of teachers
with the aim to attract the attention and interest of students in teaching activities. In the process
of teaching and learning, the focus of pupils attention is short. They usually lose interest quickly
if the activity of teaching is not diversified. Variety of stimulus skills including changing
behavior skill, diversify diversion senses of students activities, change the pattern of
interaction between teachers and students and diversify teaching methods and techniques.
3.2.4 Skills of explaining using examples, illustrations and teaching learning
resources
Explaining skills used to convey information, concept or lesson content to students,
usually at the development stage. During using explaining skills, teachers explain to students
about a subject content by using examples, illustrations, or educational resource. For example,
teachers explain the words by using several example sentences containing that word, the
teacher explain while demonstrate how to draw geometric shapes, teachers explain the life of
a frog with photo illustrations or teacher explains and describes the content subject by
referring textbooks , In the explaining stage, teachers can also use chalk to write important
contents on the board so that students can understand and record it in their notebooks.
3.2.5 Management reinforcement activities skill.
Reinforcement is a teaching technique that is used when the students gave the correct
answer or show progress in a learning activity. In this situation the teacher will give praise to
the student as the strengthening of the behavior. According to Skinner, almost all human
behavior can be divided into two categories, namely respondent behavior and operant
behavior. The respondent behavior is an unconditioned behavior as described by Pavlov in
Conditioning Theory. This behavior is in response to specific stimulus from the environment.
Respondent learning would occur after a new stimuli appeared together with old stimulus.
When these stimulus are used several times, new stimulus itself is enough to emit the
expected conditioned response. In a respondent learning,, students react to stimulus given.
Therefore, this is stimulus-response learning.
Operant behavior is behavior that is not automatic or can be expected and nothing to
do with the stimulus that have been ascertained before. Operant behavior in a set that includes
examples of specific behaviors, operate and produce reactions or situations in its environment.
When the reaction or situation is satisfactory, the chance to repeat the operant behavior will
increase. Operant behavior can be taught and learned through the appropriate stimulus and
given as soon as the existence of operant behavior. These stimulus cited by Skinner as
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
39
reinforcement. Reinforcement can be positive or negative. Positive reinforcement is a stimuli
that can add something probability of recurrence of operant behavior such as giving praise,
rewards, gifts and so as soon as appropriate operant behavior occurred. Negative
reinforcement occurs when a response is strengthened because of the removal of an
unpleasant stimulus.
3.2.6 Implementation closure skill
Concluding lesson is the last part of a lesson. Conclusion, strengthening and
evaluation activities are usually done in the closure stage. Thus, teachers can use this stage
to help students reinforce concepts or new skills just learned to summarize all important
content or provide follow-up activities to them. In addition, teachers can also use this stage to
assess the achievement of the objectives as well as teaching and learning activities that have
been implemented. Results of the assessment will be used to make modifications to the next
lesson. There are two types of closure normally used, which cognitive closure and social
closure. Cognitive closure is a closure that aims to strengthen the content of the lessons and
skills they have learned. This closure cognitive can be done through the conclusion,
reinforcement and follow-up activity.
Social closure is a closure that is aim to give a sense of achievement to the students so that
they want to keep learning. Social closure is usually done by using reinforcement technique.
3.3 Implementation of Micro Teaching
The implementation of micro teaching is to provide an opportunity for trainees to
develop their teaching skills related to teaching and learning activities in the classroom. To
achieve this goal, all teaching weaknesses that arise in the micro teaching session should be
identified and improved with re-training. Thus, evaluation activities carried out by lecturers and
a group of trainees' teachers play an important role in assisting trainees involved in micro
teaching training to achieve behavioral changes to enhance the effectiveness of specific
teaching skills.
The role of supervisor or lecturer, through evaluation activities and in assisting trainees to
improve teaching weaknesses are:
• evaluate teaching activities by referring to guidance forms
• identify the weaknesses of teaching skills that arise
• diagnose the causes of these weaknesses
• submit suggestions that can improve the weaknesses.
After a micro teaching session, discussions should be held between supervisory
lecturers and trainee teachers involved using video footage and guidance forms. This
discussion should be focused on the weaknesses of the identified teaching skills as well as
the suggestions for improving the teaching weaknesses.

3.4 Writing Reflection and Improvement of Teaching
Reflection is an important process in the learning cycle for the advancement of the
teaching profession. The teaching experience gained by teachers is very valuable and can be
shared for the benefit of all teachers. Based on systematic methodology in reflection, the
experience can be used as a lesson and bring meaning to all teachers.
This reflection practice was introduced by Donald Schon in his book "The Reflective
Practitioner" in 1983. According to him, the practice of reflcession encompasses the
experience in mind when using theoretical knowledge that turns into practical application. In
general, reflection is the person's personal life experience.
Reflection for teachers can be defined as a process where teachers learn their own
teaching methods and determine the best ways to teach pupils. Through involvement in
various activities, the teacher learns what works and what does not work in the classroom.
Teachers will learn what is important and what needs to be avoided in upcoming teaching and
learning. Both effective and ineffective activities can be used to enrich someone through a
systematic reflection approach. When recounted an action and consequently, teachers not
only remember the matter but also think of the results that caused the matter to occur.
Reflection will give valuable input to a teacher's personal and personal improvement.
The process of recalling the causes and the consequences of the actions of the teacher will
give them understanding to avoid the less effective and improve their actions. Teachers who
are competent in practicing reflection will also experience better teaching and teaching
processes.
3.4.1 Types of reflection writing
There are generally four types of reflection writing commonly used by writing reflection
practices (Hatton & Smith, 1995):
Is the process of teaching and learning you have done successfully achieving
planned learning outcomes? Why?
REFLECTION
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
41
a) Descriptive writing - This type of writing only describes situations or events in classrooms
with simple and easy notes such as recording dates, places and actions taken. Notes usually
do not provide explanations based on cause and effect. In fact, the notes are not analyzed in
depth and linked to the teacher's methods, attitudes and beliefs.
Sample writing:
- T and L session failed due to late students coming to class after CHD activity.
- School gathering time has taken most of PdP time.
b) Descriptive reflection writing - Writing this form is better than the above form. Writing has
an element of explanation of cause and effect of applicable events. Teacher takes action and
reflects on events. Through this process the teacher can build the cause and effect of an event
occurring.
Sample writing:
- Teachers use English-language video citation to describe the elements of world history taken
from National Geography. Because the students are very weak in the subject and
understanding of the English language, most of them begin to talk to each other and do not
focus on video shows. Teachers should provide Malay translation to help students understand.
Another step that can be taken is to showcase a small part of the scene and explain in Malay
so that the student's focus on video footage can be maintained.
c) Dialogue reflection (dialogical reflection) - Writing of this form is the writing of monologue
reflection of a teacher. Teacher will answer individually in linking rational causes and
consequences.
Sample writing:
- I'm less prepared to teach the topic of reformist state figures. Even the names of the figures
failed to be correctly mentioned, such as Syed Sheikh al-Hadi and Jose Rizal were called
horribly and wrongly. The original names and descriptions of Arabic and Spanish should be
searched before starting the class. Failure to fine-tune the name of the person has caused me
to lose confidence to teach a topic effectively.
d) Writing a critical reflection - This approach is strongly recommended for the teacher to follow
in reflection writing. The reflection of this form of reflection links events in the classroom with
the National Education Philosophy, theory, methodology, current events, National Vision,
unity, political, economic and social image.
The reflection features begin with recall. Involves feelings (affective domain) to
something. Determining conscious effort and willingness to change attitude, self-awareness,
practice and positive behavior. In short, reflection is the process of reviewing the effectiveness
of teaching and learning processes in the classroom. This is done to improve teaching skills.
Among the guidelines that can be implemented are:
• Must be made after the teacher's teaching session. The emphasis aspect of the aspect is
how far the planned and implemented objectives are achieved?
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
42
• What are the strengths and weaknesses that can be identified?
• What are the steps that can be taken to improve the implementation of the activity and the
teaching?
• What are the factors that can help improve or improve the performance of such activities?
3.4.2 Improvement of teaching
The improvement of the teaching is important to the attention of the teachers,
especially in terms of the delivery of lesson content, the effectiveness of teaching and learning,
the exploitation of technology in teaching and learning, the provision of teaching materials, the
extension of knowledge and knowledge of global teachers in a topic.
The aspects that need improvement in teaching and learning are as follows:
• Information and Communication Technology (ICT) exploitation technology in teaching and
learning in the classroom.
• Creativity of example, realistic teaching and learning and active involvement of students.
• Teaching and learning support such as the "Head-Count" strategy of the subject itself.
Strategies for weak learners in learning certain subjects should be given special emphasis to
help improve their performance.
• Provision of learning aids / teaching aids.
• Interesting induction sets for example, storytelling, screening of movie sutures, playing songs
related to titles and activities that coincide with the subject of teaching that can attract students'
interest and interest.

to trends and in line with the eruption of information technology.
4.1 Introduction
One of the goals of the Malaysian Education Development Plan (PPPM) is to make it possible for 21st century learning to produce intellectual, highly productive, proficient, in communication, high-level thinking skills and the use of information and communication technology (ICT).
How does reflection writing help teachers improve their practice in the classroom?

21st century education needs to ensure that schooling experience is relevant to students in their lives as well as the skills that must be mastered in this world. So teachers need to be able to use appropriate and relevant teaching methods so that students can master various skills such as teamwork in collaboration, problem solving, communication and ability to create something. Futuristic, flexible and dynamic 21st century learning requires a high level of roles and commitment among teachers. Quality teachers and ready to equip themselves with 21st century pedagogical skills are backed by the Ministry of Education to realize the transformation of national education as intended by the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025.
4.2 Characteristics of the Current Pedagogy
Current pedagogy is emphasizing 90% of the proficiency of knowledge and mastering their field of expertise. Teachers must have a good personality and quality, accountability to the country, and skillfully transfer their,s experience to build the right attitude and beliefs to the next generation.
4,2.1. Communication and Collaboration
Communication is a relationship. Collaboration means working together. Good communication enables collaborative work to accomplish a project or task to achieve the same goals. The purpose of communicating is to deliver news, messages and information to listeners. In the context of education, communication is defined as a process of communicating and exchanging information between individuals to other individuals verbally or in non verbally. Communication in R & D can occur face to face or online using various media including digital media that allows all members to communicate unlimited , time and location. Communication skills involve speaking, writing, and listening skills.
The good of communication is to communicate and receive information with clear, concise, and focused and able to adapt and communicate messages to other individuals politely, cordially, and respectfully. Effective communication can be measured when the message is delivered can be understood easily, accurately, and clearly by the receiver. The ability of teachers who can communicate well to help them adapt to various groups such as senior management, colleagues, students, parents and the public. This is because communication plays an important role to strengthen the relationship with customers or target audience and this has a positive impact.
Many youths could not get a job because the competition among them is high. What are
the skills that are prioritized in today's career?

EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
45
The characteristics of communication in today's pedagogy are the abilities of the following:
• communication in Malay and English language and other languages.
• expressing the idea clearly.
• making presentations smoothly, confident and in line with the audience level
• negotiate to reach agreement
• communicate with different race of participants
• develop other individual communication skills
• use non-verbal skills.
4.2.2. Information and Communication Technology Literacy (ICT)
Information and Communication Technology Literacy means the ability to read, write
and use of ICT as a medium to interact. Current students are in great wave of information
technology, so every student needs to be computer literate and various other media. This is
because information media technology has become a standard tool in the education world.
Since the ICT application is proven can increase the quality of learning, the use of ICT's
skills needs to be transferred to students in the process of teaching and learning.
There are many advantages that can be utilized by using ICT’s if this technology is
used with benefits because millions of knowledge are assembled online. Multimedia use
such as CD-ROMs can help to heighten the mastery of pupils in learning. This is because a
CD-ROM is able to store information of nearly 30 encyclopedias that are easy and easy for
students to access their own information. Almost all schools in Malaysia can be connected
via the web through internet applications. This means that all students in Malaysia are
involved with a global classroom that gives them the opportunity to build relationships and
share anything with other students. The five best features when building interactive
communication through ICT are its mobility such as using smartphones, connectivity such as
Wi-Fi, social networking properties like Facebook and Twitter, search engines like Google
and Yahoo and information sharing portals such as Youtube and Wikipedia.
Current teaching approaches are based mostly on projects, especially Science and
History subject. Students are encouraged to explore information from various sources
outside the classroom in person and get information from the internet.
4.2.3. Higher Order Thinking Skills
High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) is the ability to apply knowledge, skills, values,
and reasoning, and to reflect on problem solving, decision-making, innovation and the ability
to create something. In order to achieve this, harvey students think at the cognitive level of
higher in the R & D process. The current learning quality requires students to master thinking
skills as set out in the second aspiration of the Malaysian Education Development Plan
(PPPM 2013-2025).
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
46
4.2.4. Project Based Learning
Project-based learning is a learning method when teachers are providing projects to
be implemented by students. Teachers will provide instruction and explanation of the project
is quite complex and challenging to implement. Students are required to implement hands-
on and minds-on and research activities. Project-based learning is focused on practical,
systematic and planned assignments.
Learning involves data collection and data analysis as well as provide a proper
report. Activities of the project can be implemented individually or in groups to achieve a goal
and take a long time and reach a formal learning. Students are required to identify methods
to solve the problems presented and thus plan the entire project. The results are displayed in
the form of a project report and should be presented.
The Characteristics of project-based learning
• Projects are conducted individually or collectively
• Evaluation is carried out on every process until the completed
• Practically integrate knowledge with activity
• Teacher interaction with pupils in the form of guidance and consultation at each stage of the process
• Teachers need to explain the complete implementation procedures
• This process involves the collection of materials, information, data, processing of information and data, results and self-reflection
• Projects should be appropriate for students and curriculum
• The project is selected based on the skills, knowledge, experience, and ability of the student.
4.2.5. Problem solving
Every human being has its own problems in life. Problem solving skills is a necessity
for managing the problems that arise. In the context of today's education, problem solving is
a process of teaching and learning based on experience and requires students to think
Discuss the importance of project based learning in terms of individual differences.
ACTIVITY 1 :

actively. Students can generate a critical and creative idea to form some problem-solving in
a systematic and orderly, practical and effective.
The problem solving stages are as follows:
1. Identify the problem
2. Find information with the given problem
3. Make hypotheses or predictions
4. Test the hypothesis
5. Evaluate
6. Make a summary based on the problem that has been solved.
The method of problem solving involves pupils working actively in small groups and
solve a given problem carefully (Glen & Wilkie, 2000). When students go through this
process, they can actively used their mind by stimulating critical thinking. This method can
provide an opportunity for students to apply concept.principles, and theories that have been
studied even in the mode of distance learning or online.
4.2.6. Contextual Learning
Contextual learning is a teaching process that they have learned to associate with
everyday experience of students with real-life context of the environment is designed
according to students. Activities planned and transfered the content to students based on the
current curriculum, which KSSR and lesson objectives that have been defined. Teachers are
urged to carefully and creatively, and understand the student background when select
learning activities. Teachers need to efficiently combine the contents of current standard
curriculum-based lessons with the lives of students in the school environment and their real-
world environment. This approach helps students understand the contents of the lesson
clearly and easily.
The characteristics of contextual learning:
• Learning is implemented in concrete ways, practically involving hand-on and mind-on activities.
• Various learning facilities should be provided such as comfortable classroom environment, complete and organized laboratories and learning aids that are suitable for the students' existing experience
• Learning activities greatly expand the intellectual, physical, spiritual, emotional and social potential of students.
EDUP 2033 PEDAGOGY
48
• There is a cooperation between all parties
• Emphasize the importance of problem solving
• Support each other
• Learn with no tedious atmosphere
• Learn with fun
• Integrated learning;
• Use various sources
• Active and critical students
4.2.7 Creativity and Innovation
The element of creativity and innovation is important to be applied in education to
support the development of quality human capital. Creativity is interpreted as a process of
thinking that produced the idea. Creative abilities is one's ability to generate new ideas and
collect data.
According to Kamus Dewan (2007), innovation is something new is introduced as a
method, system, customs and others. Wikipedia defines innovation as an application to solve
the problem to better meet the new requirements, and meets the requirements in an existing
market. So innovation is defined as the application of creativity to new production by the
restructuring process by using existing elements. So the result is something unique, easy and
valuable.
