DatA LoggiNg..

this entry is all abOut data Logging...
One of the learning objective that all student should have ability to use and apply it in real situation is about DATA LOGGER.

 we are introduced to data logger by our instructor: miss Azuita Zoolkifle and more detail about it was explained by our lecturer: Prof Dr Sopia Bt Md Yasin

data Logger actually :

> It is also known as data recorder:- is an electronic device that records data over time. Then, the readings are transferred to the computer.

> They are based on digital processor. Generally they are small, battery powered, portable, and equipped with a microprocessor, internal memory for data storage, and sensors.

What are advantages use it?

> Data loggers vary between general purpose types for a range of measurement applications to very specific devices for measuring in one environment or application type only

 

> Has an ability to automatically collect data on a 24-hour

 

> New innovative experiment possible

 

> Greater experience in practical work- the insulating properties of material

 

> Better understanding on how it works.

Assalamualaikum my friends...this entry is about my reflections on simulations and modelling..

Bliss et al. (1992) said that simulation is the exploration of existing models. Modelling is the expression of one's ideas by constructing one's own models.

Simulation and modelling are both vital to enhance better understanding of students. It is due to the fact that not every students are not good enough in visualizing every processes that explained by the teachers. So, the best solution is create a medium to transform that abstract process into something concrete. Sincerely speaking, if it had not been for simulation, me myself, who is teacher to be, fail to understand and explain the process while science subject do involve many processes. Luckily during my time simulation has been widely used. In addition, simulation also assist teachers to demonstrate dangerous experiments, and life processes that are too lengthy for example human fetal development. Students can gain their understanding and develop their knowledge.

Modelling, on the other hand, more to enable students exploring the effects on systems when they change certain variables. Thus, students will be actively learned when they try to find out something by discovering for themselves. Learning will be more meaningful. At the same time, this activity is actually developing the cognitive, psychomotor and affective skills of students.

Based on the contributions of simulation and modelling, I personally think that teachers should look forward in utilizing this kind of technology for students' own good. Coursewares that have been supplied to every school should not be wasted.
