Happy i-THINKing! 03 HOT & HAPPENING Tarikh Dan Lokasi Melihat Anak Bulan Ramadhan 2014/1435H Tarikh untuk melihat anak bulan Ramadhan bagi menetapkan permulaan puasa telah ditetapkan pada petang Jumaat, 27 Jun 2014 bersamaan 29 Syaaban 1435H. Majlis Raja-Raja telah mempersetujui bahawa cara menetapkan tarikh permulaan puasa adalah berdasarkan rukyah (melihat anak bulan) dan hisab (pengiraan secara matematik dan astronomi). Penyimpan Mohor Besar Raja-Raja telah mengisytiharkan pada malam itu juga tarikh permulaan Puasa jatuh pada 29 Jun 2014 melalui radio dan televisyen. Tempat-tempat yang telah dikenalpasti untuk melihat anak bulan adalah seperti: • • • • • • • • • Johor - Pontian Kecil Kedah - Kampung Pulau Sayak, Kuala Muda Kedah - Pemandangan Indah, Pulau Langkawi, Menara Alor Setar, Alor Setar Kelantan - Bukit Peraksi Pasir Putih, Bukit Kampong Tembeling, Mukim Manjur, Daerah Olak Jeram, Kuala Krai, Menara Bangunan SEDC, Jalan Tengku Putra Semerak, Kota Baharu Kuala Lumpur - Menara Kuala Lumpur Labuan - Tingkat 13, Menara Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Kampus Antarabangsa Labuan Melaka - Kompleks Falak Al-Khawarizmi, Kampung Balik Batu, Tanjung Bidara Negeri Sembilan - Telok Kemang, Port Dickson Pahang - Bukit Tanjong Batu, Nenasi, Gunung Berincang, Cameron Highlands, Bukit Pelindong Kuantan • • • • • • • • Pulau Pinang - Pusat Falak Sheikh Tahir, Pantai Aceh Perak - Pantai Pasir Panjang, Mukim Pengkalan Baru, Daerah Manjong Perlis - Kuala Sungai Baru, Simpang Empat Putrajaya - Pusat Konvensyen Antarabangsa Putrajaya Sabah - Balai Cerap Al-Biruni, Tanjung Dumpil, Putatan Sarawak - Tanjung Lubang Miri, Teluk Bandung, Kuching; Tanjung Batu, Bintulu Selangor - Bukit Melawati, Bukit Jugra, Banting, Kuala Langat Balai Cerap, Sabak Bernam Terengganu - Bukit Besar, Kuala Terengganu; Bukit Geliga, Kemaman; Pulau Perhentian, Besut; Balai Cerap KUSZA, Mukim Merang, Setiu A helmet that folds Jeff Woolf has invented a helmet, called Morpher, that folds to the size of a textbook. A traditional helmet’s bulk is a major turnoff for casual riders. What’s more, their domed shape makes it difficult to store and carry them at the destination. The Morpher addresses both problems by collapsing to just 1.4 inches thick. It is compact enough to fit in a laptop bag or backpack. The latest prototype has passed European-grade safety tests at a factory. Made of hard plastic and foam, like that found in traditional helmets, it protects a wearer’s head. An internal, flexible layer links segments of foam, acting as a hinge and allowing the helmet to fold in half while neodymium magnets inside the helmet lock the Morpher in a closed position.

Setiap ibadat khusus terutama yang diwajibkan ke atas umat Islam mempunyai rahsia dan keistimewaannya yang tersendiri. Tidak terkecuali dengan ibadat puasa di mana bagi kita yang berpuasa sudah pasti dapat merasai 5 rahsia daripada kenikmatan semasa menunaikannya iaitu : 1. Menguatkan jiwa di mana orang yang berpuasa sentiasa melatih diri dalam menguasai hawa nafsu sehingga jiwanya semakin teguh bukannya menjadi hamba kepada nafsu 2. Mendidik keinginan orang berpuasa ke arah melakukan sesuatu yang baik dan positif dengan menjauhi segala yang buruk dan negatif sehingga melahirkan umat yang bertaqwa 3. Memberi kesihatan kepada tubuh badan dengan mengawal pemakanan sehingga penghadam dapat berfungsi dengan baik 4. Mengenal nikmat kenikmatan serta melahirkan hamba yang bersyukur atas nikmat yang dianugerahkan oleh Allah sehingga redha dengan apa yang ada dan tidak tamak terhadap apa yang bukan menjadi miliknya Vertical take-off airplane Inventor and entrepreneur JoeBen Bevirt - known for designing wind energy turbines has created an electric airplane called S2 that takes off vertically, like a helicopter, and flies aerodynamically, like an airplane. NASA has taken notice and is now funding the development of a 55-pound unmanned aerial vehicle. Supercomputer simulations of a full-scale, 1,700-pound S2 suggest it could fly two people about 200 miles in an hour on 50 kilowatt-hours of electricity, or roughly equivalent to 1.5 gallons of fuel used by a typical two-seat airplane - which would make the new aircraft about five times more efficient. A dozen compact electric motors operate three times more efficiently than a typical personal airplane’s combustion engines. Retractable arms reposition the motors to transition between vertical takeoff, forward flight, and landing. S2 wouldn’t have been possible just a decade ago but with new compact and efficient motors, ever-increasing power density in batteries, smarter control systems, and tinier sensors mean his plane will soon be a reality. 5.

New Developments Thinking Skills The International Thinking Skills Conference 2014 which was held on June 16 and 17 provided a platform for educators to exchange ideas, information and discuss new development that could be incorporated in Thinking Schools. Professor Steve Higgins, Durham University speaking on the subject of “Thinking and learning: skills for the 21st Century” said while technology was perhaps best understood as a tool for teachers and for learners in supporting their developing skills, knowledge and understanding, it was also a key challenge in terms of assessment and understanding learners' progression in different areas of thinking, and in relation to specific curriculum goals as well as wider challenges of educational accountability. “Like a spectre at the feast, assessment influences both curriculum and pedagogy in what is taught and how it is learned. However, teaching for thinking and developing the quality of learners’ thinking is central to the aims of education, not just in terms of its utility, or as a response to an increasingly 06 “There is extensive evidence for the importance of thinking in the curriculum in terms of developing meta-cognition and self-regulation based on the accumulated research evidence summarised in Sutton Trust/EEF Teaching and Learning Toolkit (details in http://educationendowmentfoundatio n.org.uk/toolkit/). “This highlights the utility of developing these skills in terms of their impact on key areas of the curriculum such as literacy and numeracy. In the current climate there is also pressure to change educational goals in relation to the increasing use of technology in today’s globalised world or '21st Century Skills', but this also needs some challenge in terms of the teacher’s role and assumptions about what constitutes an effective pedagogy for developing thinking,” he said. approaches can be used to start lessons with energy, focus, challenge and thought. The workshop on “Developing the Thinking Teacher” which was moderated by Rachael Walsh explored the changes and shifts in attitudes that teachers needed to adopt before asking children to commit to developing their own thinking. “Exploration of how to develop ourselves as thinking teachers will be the key,” she said and provided the participants with practical advice on how to overcome barriers the thinking teacher may face. Denise Shepherd’s workshop on “From a Thinking School to a Thinking Schools Trust – an exciting journey” delved on trusts, academies, teaching schools, support schools, federations, sponsors and how to make a schools led system really work. The workshop led by Richard Coe called “Start to Think” was interactive and practical and explored how a range of thinking tools and rence ills Confe k S g in k onal Thin e Internati th t a n o ti Delega Malaysian 07 LAPORAN KHAS “We believe a possible direction is by creating strong and permanent school partnerships based on an educational vision of a family of thinking schools working together. We have a unique Trust developed with support from Thinking Schools International - all our schools are committed to becoming accredited thinking schools. We are not “corporate” but believe this is an exciting and innovative model. It has at its heart an educational vision of planned cognitive education raising standards and underpinning school improvement,” she said. Dr. David Hyerle speaking on “Visual Tools for Generative, Analytic and Conceptual Thinking Designs for Thinking” said depictions of people’s experiences, ideas, and emotions as well as content knowledge and thinking processes have been created through ancient cave drawings, cartography, road maps and now GPS tools and brain mapping. “The uses of visual tools are many and complex, literally ‘drawing’ out meaning from our rich networking brains and minds,” he said. Bill Lowe speaking on “Managing Creative Teams: Can Schools Learn from Creative Industries?” said the generation of new ideas and the translation of those into action are seen as key goals in industry. “It is the same in forward thinking education settings. It is argued that the leadership of creative people needs expertise,” he said. His workshop explored the tactics used by successful leaders when working on creative projects in industry and identified the strategies already being used and those which can be adapted and the ones that will never work for us. 08 Malaysian delegation visits Thinking Schools in the UK Teresa Williams on “Six Starting Points to Becoming a Thinking School” provided an insight into the framework developed by Thinking Schools International (TSI) to support schools in becoming “Thinking Schools”. “Schools developing independent thinkers and learners will already find themselves engaged in the Six Starting Points for a Thinking School. The Six Starting Points provide schools with the means to evaluate current activities, identify strategies for further development and enable them to consider where and how attention should be focused,” she said. The interactive workshop demonstrated the Six Starting Points and show how they create a climate in which independent thinking may be grown and sustained. The Six Starting Points - Visual Mapping, Reflective Questioning, Structuring the Environment, Thinking Skills, Developing Dispositions and Collaborative Networking, are the first elements a school needs to consider in order to research, understand and become a fully developed Thinking School. They are the foundation upon which the TSI principle of Growing Thinking Schools from The Inside Out is predicated and enable schools to follow a facilitated and structured approach to preparing for transformational cultural change. A delegation from Agensi Inovasi Malaysia and the Ministry of Education visited the United Kingdom from June 14 to 20 to attend the International Thinking Skills Conference. The conference, in its sixth year, is a well-established event attended by hundreds of delegates from across the globe. The event was a good opportunity for the i-THINKERS to further develop and also enhance the i-THINK programme in their schools. Additionally, it also provided an opportunity to network with other school representatives interested in finding out more about the whole school approach to the teaching of thinking. 2013, drive teams from 1,000 schools were trained in face-to-face workshops. In 2014, 405,000 teachers from 9,000 schools began this journey using online learning,” he said. The delegation also visited three Thinking Schools after the conference to allow delegates the chance to understand and experience how other Thinking Schools manage their teaching and learning. The objective of the visit is for the delegates to understand and experience the thinking culture in the Thinking Schools on the ground – the Lionel Jackson from Agensi Inovasi roles of leadership in instilling a culture Malaysia presented a working paper on “Thinking Tools become part of the of thinking and brings impact to teaching and learning, how the Malaysian Education Agenda” where classroom, school, and surrounding he spoke on Thinking Tools going area is physically structured, and how online for 450,000 teachers with the creation of a Self-Instructional Module this bears on teachers, students, parents and the community. (SIM). “Recognising that critical, analytical and creative skills are crucial for the emergence of a Thinking Society, AIM introduced Thinking Tools as part of the National Education Agenda. In The schools visited were Penn Wood Primary School, Slough, Wellington Primary School, Hounslow and Rochester Grammar School, Rochester. There were more than 30 practical and research based workshops, many led by teachers from accredited Thinking Schools. This annual conference focused on the latest developments in cognitive education and provided the delegation an opportunity to find out how schools which have taken a whole school approach to the teaching of thinking have raised attainment, improved motivation, concentration and independent learning. 09 LAPORAN KHAS m o o r s s a l C e r u t Fu eh Menteri Pendidikan II l O n a k r a c n a l i D ” telah ure Classroom Perasmian “Fut Seri Idris oleh YB.

Many people look to others to make them happy, but happiness does not come from outside. It doesn’t come from living in a world that is as calm and dull as a glass lake, with not a ripple to disturb our peace. Happiness comes from embracing who we are within, from loving ourselves and looking at our circumstances, no matter how painful, as the opportunity to evolve into better people. Motivational speaker and author Steve Maraboli said, “Happiness has to do with your mindset, 16 not with outside circumstance.” The art of looking at tough times as an opportunity to conquer a mountain is called Living at Cause. The act of blaming people and circumstances for the pathetic people we may have become is called Living at Effect. Which side of the equation do you fall on? You may say, “Well, I live my life 90 per cent at Cause and 10 per cent at Effect”. My reply to this is “Well, that’s good… but not good enough. You need to live your life 100 per cent at Cause if you want to be in charge of your outcomes.” An amazing example of how to live life at Cause is the motivational speaker Nick Vujicic, who was born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterised by the absence of all four limbs. After struggling for years with his condition, he came to terms with it and started Life Without Limbs, his own non-profit organisation. When a man with no arms and no legs shows the able-bodied how to live life to the fullest despite limitations, we really have no excuse not to do likewise. So what do you do the next time you complain that bad things are happening to you because you have no luck? You remember that you have a choice. You have the choice to decide that the day is going to be a good one because you said so. There is no such thing as bad luck, only a bad attitude and poor choices that are limiting you from achieving your full potential and becoming the human being you want. Many of us believe we cannot change, that we cannot adapt to our circumstances to emerge strong. The fact is, we all have the potential to be and do whatever we want. You and I have been blessed with immeasurable power to make positive changes in our lives. It’s a tough journey to believing that but a highly empowering and rewarding one. When you operate 100 per cent at cause, then nothing can truly steal your peace. Someone yells bad words at you, you have a choice to not react and let the words slide away without stinging you. If you choose to get upset, then you give power to the other person. 17 LEARNING ASIA AFRICA NORTH AMERICA SOUTH AMERICA EUROPE AUSTRALASIA ANTARTICA ARGENTINA BOLIVIA BRAZIL CHILE COLUMBIA ECUADOR GUYANA PARAGUAY PERU SURINAME URUGUAY VENEZUELA Revisiting Brace Maps Examples of Brace Maps What are plants made up of? The Brace Map is used to analyse the component parts of physical objects and also to identify the spatial relationships of parts to the whole object. When constructing a Brace Map students write the name of the whole project on the line to the left and on the lines within the first brace to the right write the major parts of the object then follow within the next set of braces with the component parts of each major part.

In the classroom, students can use a brace map to describe the parts of the year, parts of an animal, parts of a plant, parts of the world and also parts of different systems, like the body system and the solar system. An example of a Brace Map is: What are parts and subparts of a body system? Petal Pistil Flower The Brace Map must be used with concrete objects in order to identify the physical parts of the whole object and they almost always use nouns within the map because the purpose is to name the parts of one concrete object. The map is great for vocabulary development because specific words are needed to label the parts. What are the different components that make up a car?

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said out of the 25 initiatives that were introduced in 2013, some have seen encouraging results. Pic: NST He said: "A total of 12 initiatives have seen positive and significant performance since the education blueprint was introduced." The blueprint was officially launched on September 6, 2013, although several main initiatives were already introduced at the early of the year. Muhyiddin, who is also Education Minister, said among the initiatives that have achieved positive results were among others pre-school enrolment, vocational education transformation plan, higher order thinking skills, literacy and numeracy skills (Linus), and English Language Teachers Proficiency (ProELT). He had earlier launched the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2015 report card which outlined the achievements and rooms for improvement that is needed for the education sector. --New Straits Times 22 Click to enlarge Lengkapkan Peta Alir yang memberikan jawapan kepada soalan di bawah.
