On the 10th of August I recieved a letter from my PK Kokurikulum, asking me to attend a seminar in SEAMEO RECSAM, Penang from the 11th until 13th of August 2009.
It was the PENANG INTERNATIONAL ACTION RESEARCH SEMINAR 2009.
Action Research in Classrooms: Towards Achieving High Quality Teaching and Learning.
The seminar was organized by the Penang State Education Department.
It was from 8am - 4.30pm.
I have heard and read about it, but to attend a seminar on the matter is a privilage for me.
From 11th of August Tuesday I went to SEAMEO RECSAM in Gelugur, Penang to attend the seminar. From 8am the registration according the districts. There I met some of my friends who are teaching in various schools in Penang, some are very senior teachers there. This is one of the reason I wanted to attend the seminar; to get to know teachers from Penang.
On day 1, we were asked to go in separate rooms according the primary & secondary schools.
For the Secondary school teachers, there were 15 presenters. They spoke for various subjects, such as BM, English, History, Geography, Physics, Mathemathics, Discipline, Teaching & Learning methods. This went for the 2nd & 3rd day. Some of the presentations were interesting. Apart from gaining some new input, I also managed to get to know some of the teachers from others school, especially those who are teaching English.
Overall, it was a very good learning experience. Hope to attend other seminars related to teaching & learning.
