“Kalau boleh, saya ingin semua kelas sama seperti apa yang Cikgu Chow ajar saya.” – MF, 14
Chow Geh Tsung is a 2014 Alumnus who teaches science in a school in Kajang, Selangor. He recently wrote a blog post detailing his *Offline Flipped Classroom of Integrity*, where students read, research and are pre-tested on a topic before going through the lesson together in class, followed by self-evaluation and a ‘real’ test – all the while, doing their best to uphold the highest level of integrity (i.e. no cheating!). We asked Cikgu Chow’s students to tell us what they think of this arrangement, and here’s what they had to say!
1. We are better prepared.
“Cikgu Chow akan memberitahu muka surat yang akan dibincang esok, jadi kami lebih bersedia untuk tajuk yang akan dibincangkan.” – NR, 14
2. We understand better.
“Dengan cara Cikgu Chow mengajar, saya boleh memahami mata pelajaran itu dengan lebih terang dan jelas.” – NN, 14
3. We remember what we learn.
“Sebelum masuk ke kelas, kami akan buat persediaan. Contohnya, membaca buku dahulu di rumah. Bila dah baca buku tu, pelajaran yang kami belajar akan lebih menyerap dekat otak kami.” – AF, 14
4. We learn from our mistakes.
“Cikgu Chow menggunakan kaedah belajar yang berpatutan, yang boleh mendidik murid-murid supaya lebih berdisiplin dan tidak mengulangi kesalahan lalu.” – NS, 14
5. We stay awake :p
“Saya berasa seronok dengan cara pembelajaran, tidak mengantuk!” – NO, 14
6. We enjoy science more!
“Saya suka sains kerana saya dapat belajar banyak perkara yang saya tidak tahu selama ini.” – MA, 14
We just want to say:
Chow Geh Tsung was an environmental consultant before joining the Teach For Malaysia Fellowship in 2014. He is now in his third year of teaching! Read his original post here.
