Alhamdulillah ini kali ke dua dalam minggu ini saya berkunjung secara maya ke Fakulti Pengajian Islam di atas jemputan. Sebelumnya saya diminta berkongsi tentang program ODL manakala pada hari ini satu tajuk ringkas diberikan kepada iaitu tentang tips bagaimana untuk memenangi pertandingan inovasi P&P. 

Sesungguhnya saya bukanlah orang yang paling layak untuk bercakap tentang hal ini justeru pencapaian diri sendiripun ala kadar seadanya :D namun saya anggap ini satu amanah yang diberi, lalu saya cuba berkongsi sesuatu yang harapnya memberi manfaat kepada semua rakan yang mendengar :) 

Terima kasih FPI, khususnya buat sahabat saya Dr Hasanah , Penolong Dekan Pengajaran FPI, serta tidak lupa juga TD Prasiswazah, Dr Haziyah yang hanya saya kenali semenjak program ODL Usuludin dibangunkan. 

Inilah antara wajah-wajah yang muncul di tingkap seusai acara selama 2 jam itu. Masih yang ramai malu untuk menjelmakan diri atau oh, mungkin masing-masing berada di rumah lalu penampilan semasa tidak mengizinkan untuk tatapan umum hehe.

Ada beberapa mesej penting yang saya cuba sampaikan apabila bercakap tentang inovasi - khususnya dari perspektif konsepnya itu sendiri. Sesuatu inovasi tidak semestinya dalam bentuk tengible produk semata-mata, tetapi sebarang idea, cara atau proses juga adalah sebahagian daripada inovasi. 

Apakah langkah utama dalam menghasilkan sesuatu inovasi dalam P&P? Dalam slaid di bawah saya telah ringkaskan proses asas yang diperlukan bagi seseorang penyelidik menghasilkan inovasi sebelum bersedia untuk memasuki pertandingan: 

Antara fasa penting sebelum sesuatu inovasi diperkenalkan dalan P&P, secara asasnya penyelidik perlu mengambilkira beberapa elemen di bawah:

Jadi apakah tips penting untuk anda merangkul pingat emas dalam pertandingan inovasi? Berikut adalah sedikit soalan / senarai semak yang perlu anda jawab .. 

Ada sebarang komen atau pertanyaan? Sila tinggalkan soalan anda di ruang komentar ^__^

Wah! This is something that I have never imagined to happen! Thanks to my super-duper multitasker sifu, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Faizah Idrus from Kulliyyah of Education IIUM for this exciting event!

Insha-Allah, all of us will bring our supervisees to present their research proposal or progress. Through this session, we will provide our constructive comments. I am super excited to see what we - all of us could learn from each other. 

Indeed, supervising students may not be easy as the skills are not obtained from reading books or articles. Most of us learn the skills through our own experience. I personally think that the way we were supervised had significantly contributed to our way of handling students! Learning from our own experience also taught us how to filter good and evil, or whether we should carry out the same approach or vice versa. Not to mention, apart from our Ph.D. years' experience with our beloved supervisors, we also learned a lot from our own students. Well, to err is human .. nobody is perfect, to begin with. But suppose you are willing to learn from your mistakes, open enough to listen to what your supervisees have to say. In that case, I am pretty sure that we can grow and develop our skills as supervisors wonderfully. 

So peeps, get ready with this one. See you there!

Publication Made Easy for Postgraduate Students - a session that was designed to help postgraduate students in producing a 'publishable' work. Alhamdulillah the session went smoothly well. I tried as much as I could to convince the audience that if there is a will there is a way! That is my clear message to all. The most popular publication is empirical article but if you haven't collected your data, you can always write a conceptual paper. That is for sure! 

Although having your article written and published is no an easy process, it is not impossible to achieve. 

I wish everybody a happy writing and all the best in your learning endeavour!

Setinggi-tinggi syukur jua dirafa'kan kepada Ilahi kerana setelah sekian lama baharulah sempat perjumpaan berkumpulan antara pelajar-pelajar di bawah seliaan saya berjaya dilakukan. Sesungguhnya masa sering mengheret banyak perkara sehingga tertangguh-tangguh. 

Perjumpaan pada kali ini melihat beberapa pembentangan dilakukan oleh para pelajar saya yang berkongsi hasil penyelidikan yang telah lengkap mahupun yang masih dalam proses dan pengembangan. 

Tahniah buat semua - Farhana, Syamimi dan Maryam yang telah memberikan penerangan yang menarik lagi komprehensif tentang penyelidikan masing-masing. Semoga sedikit sebanyak perkongsian ini membuka minda dan idea kepada yang lain-lain untuk terus fokus terhadap penyelidikan masing-masing. 

Ayuh semua, tetapkan azam dan kuatkan semangat serta lipatgandakan usaha untuk terus menyiapkan penyelidikan. Jika tidak dipecahkan ruyung manakan dapat sagunya. Kejayaan tidak datang bergolek, tanpa usaha tentulah kita tidak akan ke mana-mana! 

​XOXO 

It's been a while since our last meeting was held. Time flies soo fast that I couldn't get hold to many things. InshaAllah the next progress meeting will be held as follows: 

I will also be sharing some tips on publications. See you there guys!

Self-branding is one of important aspects that needs to be considered by all academics or researchers. Who are you? What you do? What do you want people to know what you do? How do you give evidences to all things that you do/want others to know about it?

Those are among questions that will help us define ourselves particularly online. Try to Google your own name and see what you get. Is it your Facebook account? Try to look for image. What kind of photos appear that relate to your name? 

It is undeniable that the use of social media sometimes can shape our identities - whether you realize it or not; whether you plan it or not. Apart from Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest of Instagram - many academics also have a tendency to shape their online identities via platforms like Google Scholar, LinkedIn, ResearchGates, Academia or even Mendeley. These platforms give you space to share your work and showcase your expertise. I have lots of students who like to surf through Academia to get full text of journal articles. Some of them use Google Scholar alerts. They also use Mendeley to archive all the articles they read and even share their libraries with others. 

So many ways to get connected, so many means to share things! 
I would like to thank everybody who attended today's session on online visibility. Hope that my little sharing benefits everyone! ^____^
