HOT & HAPPENING
Menyambut Hari Malaysia
pada 16 September
Hari Malaysia disambut pada
16 September setiap tahun untuk
memperingati penubuhan persekutuan
Malaysia di tarikh yang sama pada
tahun 1963. Ia menandakan
penyertaan bersama Malaya, Sabah,
Sarawak, dan Singapura bagi
membentuk Malaysia.
Pembentukan persekutuan baru ini
dirancangkan berlaku pada 1 Jun 1963
namun kemudiannya ditangguhkan
ke 31 Ogos 1963 bagi membolehkan
ia disambut bersama-sama dengan
sambutan hari kemerdekaan ke-6.
Beberapa isu berkaitan dengan
bantahan Indonesia dan Filipina
dalam pembentukan Malaysia
memperlambatkan pengisytiharan
ke 16 September. Pada tahun 2010,
Hari Malaysia merupakan cuti am
di semua negeri di Malaysia.
Penangguhan itu juga dibuat
bagi membolehkan Pertubuhan
Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu
memperuntukkan masa
membuat pungutan suara
di Sabah dan Sarawak.
Mulai tahun 2010, Hari Malaysia
merupakan cuti am di semua negeri
di Malaysia.
Mandela Penerima
Anugerah Global Peace
Dalam usaha mempromosi keamanan
untuk semua, Limkokwing University
memperkenalkan anugerah Mahathir
For Global Peace dengan penerima
sulung bekas Presiden Afrika Selatan
Nelson Mandela.
Menurut Anggota Jawatankuasa
Mahathir Global Peace Foundation
Ambi Mathe, anugerah itu disampaikan
kepada Presiden Afrika Selatan Jacob
G. Zuma bagi pihak Mandela, ketika
lawatan rasminya ke negara ini dalam
bulan Ogos.
04
Anugerah ini lahir daripada kesungguhan
dan komitmen bekas Perdana Menteri
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad dalam
memperjuangkan keamanan sejagat
selama ini, kata Ambi Mathe.
"Anugerah itu juga akan
mengiktiraf usaha serta
sumbangan oleh individu
dan pertubuhan dalam
memperjuangkan keamanan
global termasuk pihak
media, penulis dan
bloger," katanya.
Olinguito,
the world's
latest mammal
discovery
An animal that looks like a mix between a cat and a
teddy bear has been unveiled as the first new
carnivorous mammal identified in the Western
Hemisphere in 35 years.
Scientists say the olinguito, a tree-crawling animal, is
now understood to be the smallest member of the
same family as raccoons, kinkajous and olingos.
With wide, round eyes and tiny claws that help it cling
to branches, the olinguito can jump between trees. It
feasts mainly on fruit but also eats insects and nectar.
Its discovery, which took a decade of research, is
described in the August 15 edition of the journal
ZooKeys.
The one-kilogram animals are active at night, and
also appear to prefer staying in the trees and have
one baby at a time.
Waterproof
mobile phones?
Whether accidentally dropped in a sink, toilet or
swimming pool; soaked by a rainstorm or a beverage
or sent through a washing machine your mobile is
damaged. But buyers beware, the devices are not
waterproof. Water in electronic gadgets is catastrophic.
But we may soon have waterproof phones because of a
new technology that uses nanotec coatings. Two
companies leading the research and development into
this technology are HzO and Liquipel. HzO won the
CES 2012 Innovations, Design and Engineering Award
for its nano coating technology while Liquipel received
a 2012 Edison Award in material science for its nano
coating technology.
Both companies use a vapor deposition process to
coat electronic devices with a very thin film. This film
is hydrophobic, which means that it repels water,
humidity, perspiration, coffee, wine, soda and even
acid.
These coatings are not meant to protect
smartphones during deep sea dives or for any
extended underwater use. They will protect devices
against damage caused by accidental immersions
even if the device has been left submerged in water
for a few hours.

FEEDBACK
Nick
Says:
Nick Symes, the Director of
Overseas Operations of Thinking
Schools International, UK,
addresses some of the issues
raised by showcase schools on
i-THINK and Habits of Mind (HoM)
in their development plans.
On SJK(C) WEN HUA, Melaka’s i-THINK
implementation plans, Nick says:
As always, Wen Hua has taken an
extremely thorough approach to
the task set! I am very impressed
with what you have presented to
me as planning documents. You
have thought carefully about
each strand and developed good
implementation strategies.
I particularly like the inclusion of
the strand on developing thinking
classrooms – this shows an
approach that brings together the
various different strands and, of
course, is at the heart of the
thinking school approach.
Do not get too
tied to the notion
that you have to
introduce all 16 Habits of
Mind in detail. The starting
point is to identify the Habits that
your pupils perhaps do not do so
well, ones that would help and
support them in their learning
development. Once you have
explored the concepts within a few
of the Habits, going into each in
detail, you may find that you do not
need to develop such an in depth
approach to some of the others i.e.
your teachers and pupils will
I also like the inclusion of pre and

and input.
My suggestions include:

Also don’t forget to build in regular
review points into your planning
On SMK CONVENT MUAR,
Johor’s development plans,
Nick Says:
I have had a chance to look at your
Showcase School planning document
in detail and would like to thank the
team for putting together this
document which clearly shows a lot
of thought and preparation. More
importantly, it will provide you with a
“road map” of how you will move
your school from where you are now
to becoming a Showcase School that
others in your country can look at as
an example of a successful Thinking
School.
Some of my suggestions include:
process. This means asking the
question “How is the plan going?
Are we on track? What have we
learned? Do we need to adjust the
plan in the light of what we have
learned?”
To conclude – Well Done and Thank
You. I look forward to some
occasional updates and to watching
how your school continues to grow
and grow as a Thinking School, one
that can lead the way in Malaysia!
The objectives are: Excellent! This
provides a vision for the school to work
towards. Hopefully these will be shared
across your learning community. By
this, I mean not only the leadership
team but all the teachers, students –
and don’t forget the parents! The
“vision statements” are well planned
to achieve this. Your planning is clear
that it identifies the difference that
you want to make between now and
2015.
You also have set out a clear plan of
how you will implement Habits of Mind
which is good. This clear step by step
planning (that can be shared with all
those involved) will provide a structure
that will help you achieve your goals.
Building in the
Reflective Journal into
your planning is a
positive move. Although
the journal is being used
within the context of HoMs,
remember that it can be used
with any aspect of thinking. It is
reflective – so you might
consider broadening the use of
these journals once students
become familiar with them –
for students to be able to reflect
not only on what they know but
also how they learnt it is a big step
towards becoming an
independent learner.
You have clearly thought carefully
about the monitoring process and
have identified appropriate methods
to implement this development
strand. Monitoring can not only help
to ensure that plans are being
implemented – it can also identify
areas of success as well as areas of
weakness where further
developmental training might be
needed. In addition, it provides
valuable information for future
planning.
You also set out the 7 strands within
your development plan. What I can
see is detailed planning for strands on
Implementing Habits of Mind and
Monitoring. There is reference to the
monitoring of other thinking tools and
this may provide enough feedback for
the drive team on the further
embedding of Thinking Maps and
further developing questioning skills.
Some further planning is needed.
What you have produced is excellent
and I look forward to seeing Convent
Muar growing into a very successful
Thinking School – and again, thank
you.
HOTS will publish “Nick Says” with his comments on
issues raised by the other showcase schools in the
next issue. Don’t forget to read them.

MAIN MIND
THOUGHTS
Research has shown that all students
require questioning skills that range
from low to higher order to ensure
they get a better grasp of lessons
taught in schools. They need to be
taught how to engage in higher order
questioning and comprehension skills
to make sense of oral and written text.
When children first learn to read,
much of their effort is focused on
decoding and pronouncing correctly.
While this is essential, in order to
become proficient readers students
have to be able to understand the
meaning of what they read. This not
only requires comprehension skills
but ultimately good thinking skills.
Questioning is a key aspect of the
teaching and learning process.
Questions help draw students into
the learning process as well as
checking on acquisition of knowledge.
When students ask questions this
leads to more talk, higher level
thinking and can result in academic
and social benefits.
These are some of the key elements
of Higher Order Thinking Skills, which
were first highlighted in the 1950s,
by Benjamin Bloom, an educational
psychologist, and his colleagues. They
developed a classification system
identifying different levels of cognition
that defined both lower and high order
thinking. The six levels within the
cognitive domain are from lower to
higher: knowledge, comprehension,
application, analysis, synthesis and
evaluation.
Higher Order Thinking is the ability
to think beyond rote memorisation
of facts or knowledge. Rote memory
recall is not really thinking. Higher
Order Thinking Skills involve actually
doing something with the facts that
we learn. When students use their
higher order thinking skills that
means they understand, they can find
connections between many facts,
they can manipulate them, and put
them together in new ways. Most
importantly they can apply them
to find new solutions to problems.
2013-2025 to produce well-rounded
pupils through an advanced education
system.
The Malaysian Education Ministry has
been emphasising on “Meaningful
Learning” to be the centre of the
Malaysia Education Blueprint
A high-level thinking pupil would
possess four characteristics: creative,
critical, and communicative skills and
ability to network – which is crucial
for the nation’s human capital
development.
Bloom’s
Taxonomy for
Thinking
Evaluation
Synthesis
Analysis
Application
Comprehension
Knowledge
This is seen as a crucial part of the
ministry’s comprehensive plan to
upgrade the education system to
world-class status. This includes
ensuring learning takes place both
inside and outside of the classroom
where pupils are given an education
that not only revolves around learning
subjects but acquires other skills
as well.

i-THINK
Goes Online!
Ashwin Singh, Director of Teamie
Pte Ltd delves into the new way
of learning and teaching that is
being introduced to cater for the
large number of teachers and
students coming on board for
the i-THINK programme.
Following the footsteps of such global leaders in education and with the aim of improving the reach of the i-THINK
initiative to all the teachers in Malaysia, Agensi Inovasi Malaysia and the Ministry of Education has commissioned an
online learning project. The key purpose of the project is to develop a Self-Instructional Module (SIM) on Thinking
Processes and deliver it online so that all teachers in Malaysia can learn and apply these concepts anywhere anytime.
The SIM is made up of the following layers:
1)
Digital Content – Interactive modules are developed in Flash & HTML5 so that they can
be accessed on different types of browsers and devices like PCs, Smartphones and
Tablets.
2) Collaborative Learning Platform – A private social network of all teachers in Malaysia
will not only allow the teachers to access the digital content over web easily but will
also let them share and learn best practices from their peers through the learning
platform.
3) Cloud Based Infrastructure – A secure, scalable and highly resilient network of cloud
based servers will ensure that the SIM is available 24*7 for teachers to learn as per
their convenience.
Self Instructional Module (SIM)
Interactive
The world around us is changing rapidly and so is the way of how we
teach and learn. One of the biggest trends in the education industry is
where leading universities such as Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford and
many others are looking to improve the student learning experience, and
shift the delivery of their courses to an online platform. This allows these
leading universities to deliver courses to a much larger audience, and
enables the students to learn at their own pace and time.

The SIM is being developed in both English & Bahasa Malaysia to ensure that

In addition to the above mentioned features, the SIM will also have lots of other
exciting features like user profile, points, badges and leaderboard to make learning
more fun for the teachers.
Leading Universities and Platforms validate Online & Collaborative Learning

Upon successfully completing all the modules, teachers will get a certificate of
completion from Buckinghamshire New University, a leading university from UK.
Also there are lots of lucky prizes to be won during this journey.
