berjubah labuanISNIN, 18 NOVEMBER – Sejumlah 300 pelajar dan warga Universiti Malaysia Sabah Kampus Antarabangsa Labuan (UMSKAL) terlibat pada Majlis Perarakan Berjubah di Labuan hujung minggu lalu.
 
Perarakan yang dimulakan di Menara Perbadanan Labuan pada jam 8.30 pagi mengambil masa selama 30 minit dengan jarak sejauh kira-kira 1 kilometer menuju ke Dataran Labuan yang diketuai oleh Naib Canselor UMS, Prof. Datuk Dr. Mohd. Harun Abdullah, dekan-dekan sekolah serta warga kampus UMSKAL.
 
Menurut Datuk Dr. Harun, perarakan ini adalah simbolik suatu perjalanan seorang mahasiswa yang berhempas-pulas dan berkorban masa serta tenaga selama tiga hingga lima tahun bagi mendapatkan segulung ijazah.
 
“Ketika masih dalam pengajian, UMS membekalkan ilmu untuk mengukuhkan jati diri, modal insan dan kemahiran untuk dikongsi dengan masyarakat. Pelajar diajar meningkatkan keazaman dan memurnikan cita-cita untuk memajukan diri dan masyarakat umumnya,” tambah beliau lagi.
 
Sementara itu, menurut Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Perbadanan Labuan, Datuk Mohd Nadzri Osman, kerjasama pintar antara Perbadanan Labuan dengan UMSKAL telah lama wujud yang sudah tentunya banyak memberi manfaat kepada kedua-dua belah pihak.
 
“Penubuhan UMSKAL telah banyak membantu mempromosikan Wilayah Persekutuan Labuan sebagai hab pendidikan yang terkenal di rantau ini melalui kehadiran pelajar dari seluruh negara dan antarabangsa terutama dari negara China, Tanzania dan Turki.
 
Sesungguhnya, sumbangan warga UMSKAL dan pihak UMS yang sering kali mengadakan program di pulau ini seperti mesyuarat pengurusan dan aktiviti pelajar sangat besar maknanya kepada Perbadanan Labuan, jabatan dan agensi kerajaan, swasta dan badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) selain peniaga tempatan.”
 
Pada majlis tersebut, graduan turut dianugerahkan replika kunci daripada Perbadanan Labuan sebagai simbolik keizinan graduan UMSKAL menjadi warga Wilayah Persekutuan Labuan.
 
Majlis yang meriah ini turut diberikan kerjasama oleh Perbadanan Labuan, Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM), Cawangan Trafik (PDRM), Jabatan Penerangan, PALAPES, SUKSIS dan PALAPES Udara.

Dr Rod TgfuFRIDAY, 15 NOVEMBER – Founder of the ‘Teaching Games for Understanding' (TGfU), Dr. Rod Thorpe held a talk recently to students of the School of Education and Social Development (SPPS).

Held at the SPPS Seminar Room 1, Dr. Rod presented a talk on ‘Teaching Games for Understanding –Evolution of an Approach 1960 to 2012’.

According to Sports Science lecturer, Dr. Mohamad Nizam Nazarudin, students were exposed to the development model of TGfU and the importance of physical education teaching using the said method, through practical sessions.

He said the presence of Dr. Rod created an air of excitement among students in learning the techniques and added an interest to later implement them in school the skills learned.

Meanwhile, Dr. Rod said in his talk, that children absolutely love activities that involved a lot of loco -motor or non loco-motor movements.

“They seemed to be more active and more inquisitive when the games were played as compared to learning activities in a classroom environment,” he stated.

TGfU is a teaching and learning concept created by David Bunker and Rod Thorpe in 1982 at the University of Loughborough through observation where they discovered that traditional learning of physical education gained less interest among students. It is an educational learning towards understanding which could attract the attention of children, either inside or outside of the classroom so that they would not feel bored.

The talk ended with a presentation of souvenirs to Dr. Rod by Dr. Mohamad Nizam who represented the Dean of SPPS, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ismail Ibrahim. – SS
