Banyakkan buku Sains, Matematik dalam bahasa Melayu

2010/05/15

KUALA LUMPUR : Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) diminta menerbitkan lebih banyak buku Sains dan Matematik dalam bahasa Melayu untuk kegunaan pelajar sekolah rendah dan menengah selepas pemansuhan Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris (PPSMI).

Presiden Kesatuan Guru-Guru Lepasan Maktab Semenanjung Malaysia, Jemale Paiman berkata, DBP tidak seharusnya membiarkan tanggungjawab itu kepada Institut Terjemahan Negara Malaysia (ITNM), sebaliknya berganding bahu memperbanyakkan penerbitan buku itu di pasaran.

Beliau berkata, pada masa sama, ia turut menggalakkan lebih ramai penulis di kalangan pakar dan guru dalam bidang berkenaan untuk menulis dan menerbitkan buku itu rujukan pelajar.

Katanya, menerusi kerjasama itu, DBP selaku agensi bertanggungjawab dapat memastikan buku Sains dan Matematik yang diterjemahkan itu bukan saja bermutu tetapi menepati kehendak persekitaran di negara ini.

“Kita tidak mahu buku ini diterjemahkan secara terus dari bahasa Inggeris ke bahasa Melayu tanpa dilakukan sebarang pengolahan sewajarnya, sedangkan kita mahu penterjemahan buku Sains dan Matematik dibuat dalam bahasa mudah difahami pelajar berkenaan.

Student cut by razor after scuffle with teacher

 Friday August 5, 2011

MARANG: A teacher, angry at a student for refusing to heed his order, accidentally hurt the boy with a razor.
The incident happened when the teacher was trying to pull the boy, who had gone to visit a friend, back into his classroom at noon on Wednesday.

The 14-year-old student from a secondary school here was sent to a nearby health clinic where he received five stitches for a two-inch wound on the left side of his head.

It is learnt the boy had earlier asked permission to go to the toilet from the male teacher.

However, the teacher refused to allow the boy to leave the classroom, but the student left nevertheless.
The teacher later found out the boy had gone to his friend's class.

It is believed the teacher went looking for the boy with a razor, which he had earlier used to carve some teaching material.

The teacher and the student were later seen arguing before being involved in a scuffle.

It is understood that when the teacher tried to pull the student back to the classroom, he accidentally wounded the student.

Terengganu CID chief Asst Comm K. Manoharan said police have picked up the teacher.

“We have recorded his statement and he has since been released,” he said, adding that the case was classified under Section 324 of the Penal Code for causing hurt.

ACP Manoharan said the student was now resting at his home in Kampung Pengkalan Berangan here.

Strong-willed vs mild-mannered kids

8 August 2011

Parents can shape their child's strong-willed or shy temperament by either limiting their options or exposing them to more choices.

By BRIGITTE ROZARIO

Are you worried about your strong-willed and difficult child? Is there a fear that she will grow up to be stubborn and problematic?

How about your mild-mannered child? Are you worried that he will be bullied in school and at work later on?

According to Woo Pei Jun, lecturer/ developmental psychologist at Sunway University College, parents needn't fear that their child's temperament today will be the same 20 years from now.

Woo explains that whether they turn out mild-mannered or strong-willed depends on their inborn traits as well as the environment they grow up in.

“What is inborn is something you get genetically, so you can't change that; you'd probably get some traits from your dad and some from your mum. What makes the difference is how the environment and parents shape the children's temperament,” she says.
