Students Dilemma

Through this short article I will sharing my thought with my beloved readers on the above matter. Why should I highlighted this issue ? What kind of students should we produce to enhance the nation wide? What is their  aims in future and how far they can  survive their social life to adapt with the community culture when they leave the school?There are several question which is always interrupt my mind on students dilemma today.Most of students and parents aiming straight A's in all subjects. That's  good and of course they want excellent result  but in the other way we need our students must be able to think and analyzing the fact rather than memorizing in all subject.This is a true dilemma that happen to our students  in school or University currently.Knowledge is an essential tool to the people in this era.The world is  moving with the new technology development  in all sectors. People who are scared to move forward,they will irrelevant and left behind in all aspects in life.

Critical thinking 

The more we read the more we rich knowledge. Learning is about using your mind to think critically about the matters.Maximized your thinking approach it will help you healthy and wealthy mind because our organ will work according to our  intention.Our body mainly consist of  two coordination system which is play an important role to stabilize the whole system of life.The system called Nervous system and Endocrine system.The critical thinking means we used our brain to explore knowledge, develop skill and generate potential ability to solve the problem wisely.In bombastic word people used HOTS acronym for High Order Thinking Skill or in Malay KBAT which means Kemahiran Berfikir Aras Tinggi to be  implement in the teaching and learning process. The thinking method usually work closely to the brain and its function. Our brain consist of three major organs  to stabilize movement and maintain balance in our body at all time. The three organelle known Cerebrum, Cerebellum and Medulla Oblongata.Wether we realize or not, the chemical process happen in our body in every second to generate  energy for activities.People excrete waste through sweating , respiration and defecation. This is the normal process to the human body and animals.How Grate Allah swt the Creator and Supervisor of HIS creations  but very few people appreciate it.May Allah Grant us and protect every single person from disease.

Thinking method

Education is a process of changing the character and behaviour of mankind. Through proper learning people may change their lifestyle to be good in morale and erudite.Education is a noble profession and educators is a moderator to shape students future.That is the main objective of education in life.Today education become part of investment in the world.In the 21st century people want everything to be fast and instant because technology is taking place in life. We want students excellence in Academic  and at the same time they also capable to translate knowledge to the public wisely. I do not have any evidence to support my argument but randomly many graduands are not successful  during interview to get a job.A few years ago when I was interviewed students from several Universities to be taken (intake) in the teaching profession  I found they were not really prepared and failed to answer the question correctly.The ability and performance in general knowledge is below par because of  low  mastery in that particular field.The teaching and learning process should change the paradigm  to ensure students enjoy and happy at school.There are lots of sources to encourage students to learn.Teachers can use multiple methods such as reading news paper cutting on relevant topic to improve knowledge and writing skill in the classroom or at any available places in the school compound.
