Learning from the Experts

20th July 2010 (Tuesday)

EDU 3234 is like no other courses. It is an adventure. Just a quick scan from the previous posts and you would notice that the activities were extraordinary, such as listening to songs and online DrowGames. Guess what had we done today?

In brief, we had an educational visit to an exhibition, namely, PRPI. For your information, PRPI is the abbreviation for “Pameran Rekacipta, Penyelidikan dan Inovasi”. Now, why PRPI?

In EDU 3234, every activity we had done has an underlying purpose behind it. In fact, self-exploration and self-realization are the basic essentials of the course. Apparently, the main reason of visiting PRPI is to learn from the experts, especially the researchers, on the research process.

Throughout the visit, we were exposed to different products of researches from science creation to agriculture. Moreover, we were allowed to ask questions to the participating researchers to enquire more about the knowledge and skills of conducting a research. Thus, it had been an eye-opening experience to us. We were learning from the experts who had done researches before, which would help us a great deal in our course EDU 3234: READINGS & PROJECT WORK FOR TEACHING LITERATURE IN ESL CONTEXT, where we are required to do a lot of readings and research on literature works.
