REFLECTION

ICT in biology is a vital subject in order to have an interactive kind of teaching and learning process. In this class, I have learnt a lot of methods to be used in teaching. To elicit the student prior knowledge, there are suitable to use Engage, Empower and Enhance model. By using this model, we can elicit the student knowledge; first of all, we have to get ready for their misconception that they will give to you. Then, you can do some experiment to prove whether their concept is right or wrong. After that, you can conclude what the discussed topics is all about. This method is important because student nowadays need to explore themselves. This model is easy to be used but may be some students especially in the rural area cannot accept this method immediately. But still we can use is levelly.

Data logging is the easiest way to collect data in some experiment. It save more times, we can use the other time to search extra information and discuss with lecturer. Instead of that, we also can finish the experiment at the right time. Unluckily, not all school can afford to buy the data logger tools and not all the teachers have skill to handle the data logger. Usage of simulation and modeling are the best to me, because it is fun. This modeling and simulation method can attract student. The modeling for example is a kind of game where the student can try to manipulate the experiment.

To solve the problem about ICT are first, the ministry have to spend a little in ICT for all school. Besides, the teachers also have to be given the best training to use all the ICT tools.
