The dilemma of home-based learning and teaching (PdPR) Dilema pembelajaran dan pengajaran di rumah (PdPR)
Abstract
This article narrates my experience as a Special Education Teacher in Perak, Malaysia throughout the period of Home-based Teaching and Learning (PdPR). I faced dilemmas involving parents as facilitators and intermediaries in helping to assess their children’s skills and tasks. I realised that good and continuous communication as well as maintaining positive relationships among pupils, parents, and teachers are very important in implementing meaningful PdPR. In addition, the preparation of a PdPR manual for parents is essential, and they need to be consulted about their roles and responsibilities when helping to complete their children’s assignments at home. This experience can serve as a lesson for teachers implementing PdPR and when giving homework assignments to pupils in the future.
Abstrak
Nukilan ini menceritakan pengalaman saya sebagai Guru Pendidikan Khas sepanjang tempoh pengajaran dan pembelajaran di rumah (PdPR) yang lalu. Saya menghadapi dilema semasa melibatkan ibu bapa sebagai fasilitator dan pemudah cara bagi membantu saya untuk membuat penilaian tugasan kemahiran pembuatan roti anak mereka. Saya menyedari bahawa komunikasi yang baik dan berterusan serta menjaga hubungan sesama murid, ibu bapa, dan guru amat penting bagi menjayakan PdPR yang bermakna. Selain itu, penyediaan manual PdPR kepada ibu bapa juga amat mustahak serta mereka perlu dirunding tentang peranan dan tanggungjawab untuk membantu menyempurnakan tugasan anak-anak di rumah. Pengalaman ini boleh dijadikan sebagai pengajaran untuk guru bagi melaksanakan PdPR pada masa hadapan dan semasa memberikan tugasan kerja rumah untuk murid.
