Bimbingan Perguruan Profesional Dalam TMK (BPPT) |
Project: Malaysia Teacher Training (BPPT)
Customer: Ministry of Education, Malaysia
Project description:
Following the success of its teacher training programme in UK, FSBM in
association with its partner, Prestariang Technology Sdn Bhd,
introduced a similar programme in Malaysia. The courseware was adopted
from the programme conducted in UK but customised to fit the Malaysian
national school curriculum.
FSBM and Prestariang secured a contract in 2004 to train 100,000 out of
the 280,000 teachers in the country. A total of 178 trainers were
recruited. Training will be conducted in 89 training centers nationwide
over a period of 2 years 9 months.
The
aim of the programme is to equip teachers with the confidence and
competence necessary to make effective pedagogical use of ICT in the
classroom. Through this training, teachers will develop the necessary
knowledge, understanding and skills to make appropriate decisions about
WHEN, WHEN NOT and HOW to use ICT effectively in meeting their teaching
objectives and to support their continuing professional development.
Ultimately, this will help improve the standards of pupils' achievement.
As
part of their learning, teachers are required to develop actual scheme
of works and lesson plans. These will be deposited into a Databank. The
result is a central depository of actual teaching and learning
materials that can be shared with all teachers. Post training, teachers
can continue to access the materials, update and further deposit. The
result is a sustainable source of "best materials" developed by
teachers for teachers.
Technology employed:
Lotus Domino was used to develop the Learning Content & Management System
The Expected Outcomes of the BPPT Training Programme are organised around 2 major fields of competencies:
(A)EFFECTIVE TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT METHODS
This
focuses on teaching and assessment methods that have a particular
relevance to the use of ICT in subject teaching. Teachers will have
opportunities to practise, in the classroom, those methods and skills
and to discuss their progress with trainers and with their peers.
(B)TEACHERS' KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF, AND COMPETENCE WITH ICT
This
sets out the knowledge and understanding of, and competence with, ICT
necessary to support effective teaching. Teachers should become
competent in using this knowledge in their subject teaching.
