PLEaSE

I was amazed by Prof. Dr. Raja Maznah's presentation on PLEaSE. The presentation is very clear and I understand what is it PLEaSE is all about. By practicing PLEaSE, teacher will be more prepare and creative as they have to make other learn what they have to learn. As for the students, they will experience active learning environment in which they are able to communicate with each other. I believe that this cooperative learning will make the student a better students. This is because by doing that they will be able to help each other as what Vygotsky said in his theory of Zone of Proximal Development(ZPD). The scaffolding process that occur in the ZPD will allow them to enhance their mastery in their desired area. Another interesting element that I can see in PLEaSE is that, the teacher will learn together with their pupils. It is in line with my believe in what teaching is all about. I believe that teaching is learning. Why?? In order to deliver your lesson in the most effective way, you will need to do researches, evaluation on your own teaching and others to make sure that your pupils will be able to understand and absorb the knowledge that you deliver. Since teachers will be dealing with pupils of various background, they need to equip themselves with as much knowledge as they can so that the knowledge that will be deliver delivered.
