Interview Session With Miss Zarina Che Embi (MMM 2013)
I just had a interesting interview by Miss zarina regarding the types of method learning available such as face to face, web based learning and also handling a project. The interview was held atleast half an hour and conducted in Y!m. I would like to share some on the questions which I felt interesting enough to share with everyone :
zarinace: ok satwin, want to start now?
satwin_romeo_hans: sure
zarinace: ok, all the questions are relating to the methods of learning MMM2013 Interactive Multimedia
satwin_romeo_hans: alrite
zarinace: You have been exposed to three types of learning: face-to-face using ppt slides, web-based learning (learning object in MMLS) and project work in Interactive Multimedia subject, right?
satwin_romeo_hans: yes
zarinace: From the three, we’ll start with web-based learning first. Did you like the web-based learning environment?
satwin_romeo_hans: Nope. It is because i need to read by myself without having a proper explaination regarding the topic that I reading
zarinace: So, from the three learning methods, which one do you prefer the most?
satwin_romeo_hans: face to face using ppt slides
zarinace: oh, but do you think the presence of lecturer online is necessary for learning in web-based learning?
satwin_romeo_hans: if there is a lecturer online, i believe the system of web-based learning will be much more useful
zarinace: Can you comment on the use of multimedia elements (text,audio,graphics,video and animation) in the web-based module?
Which one you like or dislike?
satwin_romeo_hans: I like proper quality of audio which give a good tone of voice and music which and also simple graphics,video and animation been use
satwin_romeo_hans: I dislike text is too long and small size font to be read
zarinace: what problems do you think you face learning in a web-based learning environment?
satwin_romeo_hans: slow connection of downlading a web page
zarinace: that’s all?
satwin_romeo_hans: yes
zarinace: ok, now let’s obtain your perception on face-to-face learning with ppt slides. You said you like it. Why?
satwin_romeo_hans: Well, it create good communication between a lecturer and students
satwin_romeo_hans: while lecturing, the lecturer could detect the problem which the students have on certain topics
satwin_romeo_hans: and could spend more time on explaining it
satwin_romeo_hans: compare to web based, we will have limited time discussing with the lecturer
satwin_romeo_hans: dats all
zarinace: so, do you think that f2f instruction using ppt slides is interesting and engaging?
satwin_romeo_hans: Yes
zarinace: what problems do you think you face learning in this environment (face-to-face instruction with ppt)?
satwin_romeo_hans: the lecture wil get bored with using only text elements in ppt
satwin_romeo_hans: students will intend to less concetrate towards lecture
satwin_romeo_hans: using ppt shoud use simple text and graphics
satwin_romeo_hans: dats all
zarinace: ok, now about the project – do you like to do a project in your learning?
why?
satwin_romeo_hans: how does it mean in my learning?
zarinace: in learning a subject, do you like to do a project, and why?
satwin_romeo_hans: Well, I like doing it because it make us to do more research and create good understanding of the topic which is related to the subject.
zarinace: do you prefer working in a project as a group or individual?and give reasons
satwin_romeo_hans: I prefer to work in a group
satwin_romeo_hans: 1st. it save time in doing a project which must have a very good research in it
satwin_romeo_hans: 2nd it also create a good team work between my colleagues and also a good bond with my subject mates
satwin_romeo_hans: 3rd. it can create alots of different types of thinking and solution in achiving a task of a project
satwin_romeo_hans: dats all
zarinace: so, you think that doing a project is good for your learning and future life after graduation?
satwin_romeo_hans: Yes
zarinace: What are the problems encountered in this environment (working in a group in a project)?
satwin_romeo_hans: In my experience is communication problems and lack of seriousness in fulfilling a project
satwin_romeo_hans: which means they depends others to do it without asking anything
zarinace: that’s all?
satwin_romeo_hans: yes
zarinace: Do you think you have transferred the knowledge you obtained from the three methods of learning very well to your learning outcome?
satwin_romeo_hans: I believe I did
zarinace: so you scored well in the test? 🙂
satwin_romeo_hans: i didnt know my marks yet because Dr Mai have not inform the marks to the class
satwin_romeo_hans: but i believe Dr Mai’s method of teaching should be implemented by every lecturer in MMU
zarinace: oh really? 🙂 and what exact method is that?
satwin_romeo_hans: Dr Mai is a strict individual in students issues such as coming late to class, good interacting of lecturing while using text presentation while displaying graphic and video examples, a simple person to talk with regarding issues in handling a project and also a very lively type of teaching that does not create boring enviroment in a 4hour class
zarinace: well said 🙂 about the test marks earlier, you think you scored well?
satwin_romeo_hans: yes i believe i did my level best and have the strong confidence in me stating I did well
satwin_romeo_hans: 🙂
zarinace: 🙂 Which of the three methods that you think contributes the most in the transfer of knowledge? web-based, f2f or project?
satwin_romeo_hans: face 2 face
zarinace: so if you won’t be having f2f instruction anymore, but other methods of learning only, you wouldn’t agree?
satwin_romeo_hans: nope. I surely will disagree
satwin_romeo_hans: just imagine how to teach mathematics while using web based learning?
zarinace: but for this subject, you would still disagree?
satwin_romeo_hans: yes
zarinace: so how do you like the learning to be? f2f only or mixed with web-based only or f2f & project only or f2f & web-based & project?
satwin_romeo_hans: f2f & web-based & project : f2f and web based shud mix
zarinace: Now tell me how you perceive your friends’ perceptions in this? Whether they prefer the same way as you do or not?
satwin_romeo_hans: i believe not everyone will think like me because different people have different their own way to accept knowledge
zarinace: yes, but in general, what do you think they prefer?
satwin_romeo_hans: for me i believe they will choose web based learning because this method does not require them to attend class at all times
satwin_romeo_hans: 🙂
zarinace: yeah, so what about the transfer of learning? which method do you see as more effective to them?
satwin_romeo_hans: I would like to say f2f method because we all not so expose with web based enviroment currently
zarinace: ok then, lastly, any other comment as to improve each of the three methods of learning?
