Visiting schools

I went out with Aisha, Idayu and WeyFen this morning to do the interview at schools for our Sociology assignment. Aisha and Idayu went to PPK last week and talked to Encik Wahab. He provided some useful information regarding the use of graphic calculator in secondary schools in Malaysia.

We went to SMK Segambut Jaya first. That is not a very big school with around 1000 students, almost all Malay. The GPK welcomed us and helped us to locate the teacher that we are looking for. That is really nice of him to help us so much. But too bad that the teacher is not around. Anyway, we are able to get her contact number. So we will just call her and make another appointment with her.

Then we proceed to SMK Maxwell, which is located in the town area. That is quite an old school with all its buildings look historical. That is a boy school, which is also not very big with aoround 800 students. We were there at a bad timing as there was a electricity power failure in the achool. Anyway we were able to meet the GPK but she requested us to get a letter of permission from Jabatan Perhubungan Pendidikan before carry on with our research in her school. Hmm... It is really very troublesome then...

Since it is Friday and the office close earlier, we decided not to go to that Jabatan Perhubungan Pendidikan. We went back to pur campus and had discussion on the other parts of the assignments. We are planning to interview some lecturers in Faculty of Education who are familiar with the use of graphic calculator. I will need to do more reading for literature review part.

Later I still have another discussion for the assignment of Maths Teaching Method with my group members. This is an assignment day for me~~~
