Hello and have a nice day everyone especially to Prof. Aziah. Firstly let me briefly introduce myself, my name is Lydianie Peter. I’m from a small town which is Nabawan, Sabah come here with a big hopes to be a good teacher and as a role model to my students in the future. I am very excited at the same time feeling afraid to take this subject EDU540 because it quite heavy for the second lecture last week in my opinion, but I know this subject will help me for our A.E in semester 8. Consequently, I need to be strong and I wish everything will be fine for this semester with the help of Prof Aziah and my friends.

Talk about my topic for the individual assessment the research interest, my topic is “Teaching about Inequity: Shifts in student views about Diversity in Physics”. To be honest, I am still pondering to choose this topic or not and I have a possibility to change it. It is because I am not sure is it this topic suitable for our current educational situations. However, I will try my very best to choose a right topic immediately.

That’s all from me, Thank you.

Hello Prof Aziah and everyone, I am Masirah Binti Adam and I am from Semporna Sabah. 😉

This entry is jotted to abide Prof’s wish to inform on research interest. Thus, the research I am captivated to do for this subject is “How physics instruction in school impacts students’ beliefs about learning physics”. This research is intended to investigate students’ thoughts when they learn physics subject in school. In other words, the study is going to see the changes or impacts of physics learning towards students’ prior knowledge. I want to know what students perceive about physics. For example, if student is originally interested to learn physics, would it stay the same after they learnt physics subject? Are they going to accept physics instruction wholeheartedly? Or perhaps are they going to experience a new knowledge that contradicts their latent idea? And when that happened, how is it going to impact the student? Through this research, I am expecting both favourable and unfavourable responses with regards to students’ capability. I think that this shall help us as a future physics teacher to make the best out of physics pedagogy.  Since I used to be that student in school learning physics and stuff, I knew well that feeling of learning something that seemed to be unacceptable, at least to me.

Lastly, I hope that Prof will approve this research idea and guide me along the journey. Thank you.

Assalamualaikum and hello ☺️

I am Nur Nazira Amira Binti Asri Kamal. People usually called me Nazira and I am from the historical city of Melaka. It is good to be back to this new semester. I am looking forward for this this course since it is related to our Academic Exercise which we need to submit during semester 8.

For my first task, I need to find a research topic. So, the topic that I choosed is ‘Effects of Mastery Learning Approach (MLA) on Secondary School Students Physics Achievement’. However, I am still unsure about this topic and planning to find another interesting topic.

I hope that at the end of this semester, I can get the best topic that can be use for my AE. So I can start planning and making good preparation.

Assalamualaikum and hello to Prof. Aziah and to all my fellow friends. My name is Norhidayah Binti Jatlee and you all can call me Hidayah. I am from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

First of all, I believe that the course of Introduction to Research Methodology (EDU540) is important and beneficial to us as UiTM education’s students because this course will help us going through our AE process.

In our first week of EDU540 class, Prof Aziah asked us to find our “research interest” by our own. So, after I have taken some considerations about what topic should I do for my “research interest”, I have decided to choose a topic of “The Implication of Active-learning in Physics” for my “research interest”. I choose the topic because I want to highlight the good implication of having that kind of teaching method rather than traditional way. The examples of active-learning include group tasks, peer teaching, and presentation. Many science students who take physics subject in their studies think that physics is difficult for them to understand and even to get a good score for that subject. This is because they are usually being exposed to traditional way of teaching in learning the subject and thus students cannot actively participate in physics learning. When students cannot actively participating in learning physics in class, they tend to loss their interest and motivation in learning physics. That is why I choose the topic of “The Implication of Active-learning in Physics”.

I am really looking forward for your guidance and advice in order to do this task successfully Prof .

Assalamualaikum Prof Aziah, I'm Aimi Asyraf B. Sulaiman or well-known as Aimi among friends. I'm from Batu Pahat, Johor. Im the only son in my siblings. I had 5 siblings include me. It's good to be back in the new semester with a new spirit.

As my first task for the course of Introduction to Research Methodology (EDU540), I need to find a research topic. As for the topic that I had search, the topic is Situational interest and the attitudes towards science of primary teacher education students . But I still did not finalise about the topic since it is an on-going process. I will try my best to sort and choose the best topic that relate.

My hope towards this course is I will get the figure and help about my A.E that I will take it on the Semester 8. So it is a good platform for me to be more prepared about the upcoming A.E.

To end my write, I hope the research that I had done will be bring benefits to the others especially in the science education perspective.

Assalamualaikum and hye everyone. My name is  Sarah Afiqah Binti Daud and prof can call me sara. I am from Muar, Johor.
I am so excited to learn this subject in this semester because I think this subject very helpful in doing AE soon.

For our first assessment which is we need to find an interesting research topic. So my research topic is "The study on learning physics through art by using education games among secondary students". I choose this topic because it focuses on the technologies used in academic content and specially focuses on learning physics through art by using video games. As we can see technologies increase rapidly so that the learning process also should run parallel with the increase of the technology.

I hope that i can do well in this research study so that I can score in my AE soon, inn shaa

Assalamualaikum Prof Aziah and my classmates :)

I am Amira Binti Isham and I am from Johor Bahru. First of all, I want to share that I am excited to learn this course. It is because, before this, my senior had told me that EDU540 (Introduction to Research Methodology) that I will take in this semester is an interesting education subject as it taught students about academic research since we will conduct research in order to complete our study.

After the first class, as asked by Prof. Aziah, I had found a research that I am interested to know more about. It’s about The Role Of E-Learning, The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Its Adoption In Higher Education. I preferred this because I want to investigate the effectiveness of using e-learning in teaching in tertiary institutions nowadays and for the future.

Nice to meet all of you in this padlet. My name is Norhamizah binti Sadiman but i prefer to all can call me Miza and I’m from Banting, Selangor.
When I knew that EDU540 (Introduction to Research Methodology) is one of the subjects that need to be learnt for this semester, a lot of things play around my mind. Is it I need to do a lot of research? however, after I went to my first class on 1 march 2019 , Friday at BK20 Faculty of education , I’m crystal clear of  this course aims at developing the students’ understanding of research methodologies and their place in social science research. Students will also develop an understanding of the main research methods, designs of research and the actual conduct of research, including issues of ethics and access.
All this are very interesting and make me to read more! So I think for my first assessment which is research interest, I would like to choose the topic of “Gender Influence on Educational Process”. Statistics show that female students are more than men. Which are differences between male and female brains indicate that boys and girls are wired differently for learning. These differences have significant implications for schools and pedagogy.
I’m looking forward to get the advice and being in this class every week.

Week 1 ( Introduction of myself and my research topic )
Assalamualaikum Prof Aziah and my classmates. My name is Intan Najwa bt Mohd Zailani and Prof can call me Wawa. This is my second research after my previous research for subject EDU452 (Academic Skills).
At that time, i choose 'The Locomotion of Fish' as my research topic. For this subject, i try to find an interesting topic where i can relate with this subject course which is research methodology. My research topic is ' censorship and education-shall we protect the students or guide them through everything they want to know?'. I find that this topic is very closed with students nowadays and i can do this research with various method in order to collect the data.

Assalamualaikum  and a very good evening to everyone here and especially to Prof Aziah.

My name is Norsuziana Binti Abu Samah. I have a lot of nicknames,  but I prefer to call Su. I am from Klang, Selangor.  Prof and I were never met yet because  I’m not attending the last week class for some reasons. However, my classmates have already informed me about the subject that we are going to learn. I am so excited to be in this class soon. I believed that this subject helps me a lot to be in this field, especially when I want to do my A.E on final semester.

As requested, I have chosen my research interest topic  is " The impact of educational reform on sciences education". I think this topic need to be highlighted where our education in Malaysia is currently finding the best way to improve our education by reform it. So, we need to see the impact from the reformation that have done in our education. However, my research interest more focus in sciences education.

Assalamualaikum prof and my lovely classmate 😊
First of all, prof, my name is tengku nur nadiea binti raja zora, and prof can call me kunad.. I am from bachok kelantan and first daughter in my family which means i am the second child.

So today i would like to share about my research title for this subject assessment. Actually after being explained what about the task that we need to do in this subject about making a research that related to science and it will be use in A. E in sem 8, on the spot im starting to think the interesting title of the research. There are a lot of things that play in my mind but i must choose the best one.

So that,  i have been short listed two title which are :

1) Teaching and learning process in physic subject by using songwriting to enhance remembering relevant physic concept

2)Primary School Teachers’ Understanding of Science Process Skills in Relation
to Their Teaching Qualifications and Teaching Experience.

That are my title for my research..  I more attract to the first title because it is really related to students and many of student love to listened to music while they learning or doing revision and in order to fullfilled the STEAM education..
So i would like to study about it..

Assalamualaikum Prof Aziah and my friends. My name is Nur Afiah Ezzati binti Rusli, and you can call fia. I am from Kota Bharu, Kelantan. I would  like to share my interest research for this course entitle "Physics is taught badly because teachers  struggle with basic concepts".

The reason why I choose this topic because nowadays, many students do not understand the basic concepts of physics because they can not understand the correct way of learning in the classroom. In my opinion, this may be because teachers are unaware that they are still lacking in knowledge of the basic concepts of physics. So, I want to make a research about this topic to prove whether this statement can be true or not.

First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Azwa Ezzati Binti Mahdzir. You can call me Azwa :)

From the first class, I knew that this course is all about to do a research. So, I am very excited to learn the process of doing a proper research. I realise that I need to work hard in this course if I want to make my AE assessment during Semester 8 going smooth.
I have searched a lot of articles for my research interest. But the topic that I've selected is  'Is The Cooperative Approach Needed in the Physics Class?'. This research will help us to know is the physics class need a cooperative approach to increase the students' performance or not because we all know that physic subject is mostly just about the calculation.

I really hope I can do well in this research
