Meeting 5 : My breakfast, the Quiz
Assalamualaikum
and a very good day everyone…..this is Kin, reporting from home. I nearly
forgot to write this reflection, but since I somehow managed to remember what
happened on the day, so…here I am. It was a very good morning indeed, with Dr.
Teoh all smiles coming to the class. Some of the friends were a bit late, but I
came to the class feeling happy, with no reason actually. Dr. Teoh said that
she needed to attend something; a celebration f I am not mistaken. But before
she left, she discussed about sample of research questions and the difference
between the clear and unclear version of a research questions; in conjunctions
to our Task 2; I assumed. I quite get it when she explained in the class, but
somehow after going back home, I feel like going back to square one.
Moving on, we
were left with a questionnaire and some papers as our ‘breakfast’ for the day,
while waiting for her to come back from the events. We were given questions on
Chapter 15 and 16, and I tried answering them. But of course, I am definitely
not proud with my results. Obviously, I have not been reading the book. But at
least, its not a chicken egg,
Another set of
papers were about Quantitative Research (experimental, single-subject design,
correlational and also causal-comparative), as well as reliability, and
validity. Validity can be separated to face validity, content validity,
criterion validity, concurrent validity and also construct validity.
I
am terribly worried about my research proposal actually. I have the general
idea of course, but upon starting to write the research proposal, I find it
hard to continue and to actually gain ideas and drive for it. I am actually
thinking on how to motivate students to think critically, such as how to induce
it. I was thinking on how they normally generate their ideas. I was also
planning on getting insights from the mentors/ or language instructors in my
working place. But somehow, upon starting reading a lot of journals, I got
confused. Very very confused. I am still trying my best to write, again. Not
much progress yet, but I am looking at the bright side.
P.S. I really need to start my engine
and study. I am not fond of repeating any subject. And I have every intention
to excel in all the subjects. Oh Allah, give me guidance to go on. I can do
it!!
