Happy i-THINKing! 03 HOT & HAPPENING Fishy news Researchers from the University of Kansas and Connecticut in the United States have identified five new species of stingrays from Malaysian and Indonesian waters. This doubles the number of stingray species found in the area. In other fish news, three new species of halfbeaks were made known to science. Halfbeaks are slender and have small pectoral fins and the lower jaw lengthened into a beak. It is related to the flying fishes and often skitters along the surface, commonly seen on the coastal waters of Malaysia. The halfbeaks were named because the lower jaw is significantly longer than the top one. The researchers from the University of Singapore found the new species in lowland streams. In streams with clear water the body colour is light while those found in tea coloured water have darker skins. avril lavigne LIVE IN KUALA LUMPUR Closer look at the moon China made history on Dec. 14, 2013 with the successful landing of its Chang'e 3 lander carrying the Yutu (Jade Rabbit) rover. The mission is the first soft-landing on the moon since 1976 and made China only the third country ever to perform the lunar feat. Pictures from Yutu revealed amazing details of the moon which researchers and scientists all over the world are studying to better understand the moon’s surface. The Canadian pop sensation, makes yet another appearance in Kuala Lumpur, where the 29-year-old is expected to belt out hit singles like “Here’s to Never Growing Up”, “Complicated” and “Girlfriend”. Charged In 30 Seconds United States High school student Eesha Khare created a new kind of super-capacitor energy-storing device that could eventually lead to superfast battery charging for phones and other devices (including car batteries). Khare’s device (which netted her a US$50,000 scholarship from the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair) has a special nanostructure that makes it last longer than the average battery and charge up quicker -- though at present, it stores less energy than a comparable battery. But the Harvard-bound teenager will have plenty of time to perfect her invention in the years ahead. Venue: Stadium Merdeka, Jalan Stadium, 50150 Kuala Lumpur Date: Mar 14, 2014 Time: 8pm Website: http://redtix.airasia.com/Events/AvrilLavigne/ Monkey Plans It has been widely assumed that only humans plan for the future and that all other animals deal only with their immediate needs. An investigation of a male orangutan in Sumatra has shown that it makes some long calls or shouts to inform others the direction of travel for the next day. The vocalisation was emitted just before the ape went to sleep for the night. Other Orang Utan, especially females, listen to the call and head in the direction so that they get protection during the journey. 04 Computers To Sniff Out Leukaemia Eighteen-year-old Brittany Wenger, another teenage competitor at the Intel Science Fair, used her computer know-how to create an algorithm that can look for patterns in a patient’s genetic profile to spot signs of a nasty form of cancer called mixed-lineage leukaemia. This isn’t Wenger’s first foray into harnessing the power of artificial intelligence for medicine. She previously created a computer programme that analyses tissue samples to spot signs of cancer. 05 LAPORAN KHAS Kursus i-THINK Dalam Talian Peserta diberikan masa selama sebulan untuk menghabiskan setiap modul dan meneroka aplikasi KiDT.

HOTS are skills which would equip students with the ability to apply, analyse, evaluate and think creatively in and outside the classroom. It is aimed at producing a generation of Malaysians who are knowledgeable, have good leadership qualities, are multi-lingual and have strong moral and religious values, qualities which would enable them to compete at the global level. This would ensure that students are able to understand and apply the knowledge they have acquired instead of merely memorising facts to face examinations. Deputy director-general of Education (policy and education development) Datuk Dr Amin Senin said this would see a transformation in the teaching and learning process which previously focused on examinations and rote learning. "The results obtained by Malaysian students in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and the Programme for International Students Assessments (PISA) was not satisfactory. "This is because the questions in both these tests , which are international benchmarks, focused on HOTS. We realise this weakness and that is why we are emphasising HOTS under the PPPM," he said. Amin said the implementation of HOTS under the PPPM this time focused on Science, Mathematics and History. It is also implemented in co-curricular activities such as quizzes and competitions. He said the ministry also changed the concept of the examination questions to ensure that students apply thinking skills by inserting at least 20 per cent of the HOTS element in the public examinations, in stages. PEMENANG PERTAMA Diviya Letchumanan dari SMK Convent Muar He added that to ensure the successful implementation of the programme, teachers need to first attend short courses in the i-Think programme which is jointly run by the ministry and Agensi Inovasi Malaysia (AIM), so that they will be able to impart thinking skills to students, allowing them to be lifelong learners. ang murid yang Berikut adalah senarai 5 or angi Samsung berpeluang untuk memen wah pula Galaxy Tab 3.

He said that the implementation of HOTS indirectly changed the pattern and process of learning in the classroom, making it more interactive through the active participation of students and teachers. He said the success of the programme will be evaluated from the students' exam results, their understanding and mastery of the subjects especially in the way the students answered the HOTS type of questions.

As far back as 1605, Francis Bacon, an English philosopher, statesman, scientist and author had said: “Critical thinking is a desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and hatred for every kind of imposture”. The term critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualising, applying, analysing, synthesising and evaluating information gathered from or generated by observation, experience, reflection, reasoning or communication. It is the ability to think clearly and rationally and includes the ability to engage in reflective and independent thinking. Someone with critical thinking skills is able to: • • • • • • understand the logical connections between ideas identify, construct and evaluate arguments detect inconsistencies and common mistakes in reasoning solve problems systematically identify the relevance and importance of ideas reflect on the justification of one's own beliefs and values A person with a good memory and who knows a lot of facts is not necessarily good at critical thinking. A critical thinker is able to deduce consequences from what he/she knows and how to make use of information to solve problems, and to seek relevant sources of information to become informed. Critical thinking is quite compatible with thinking “out-of-the-box”, challenging consensus and pursuing less popular approaches. It is an essential part of creativity because people need critical thinking to evaluate and improve their creative ideas. Look at your issue/topic more closely: start to be more directed and purposeful in seeking information.
