Sistem penyeliaan latihan mengajar secara elektronik berasaskan pembelajaran kolaboratif

Abstract

Teaching practice is a central aspect in a teacher training program. Teacher trainees are sent to schools to gain experience in real classroom situations as well as to apply theories learnt at the university. Quality training will ensure competent teachers are produced by the university. Thus, teaching practice in schools should be monitored closely, and the supervision of teacher trainees should be carried out continuously. In this context of study, the use of technology is fully utilized in both aspects of training and supervising the teacher trainees. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effect of a web teaching practice system that uses a collaborative approach. For the purpose of determining the quality of teacher trainees, a review of their generic skills has been conducted. The results show that the level of generic skills of teacher trainees is at high level (mean 3.98). The results also indicate that the level of supervision by supervisors on teacher trainees is also at high level (mean 4:53). For the purpose of developing the system via web, the study has identified a number of collaborative elements that are specifically used for the development of web-based system. The effect of the system was tested through qualitative strands. The results indicate that most of the teacher trainees agree that the developed system helps trainees improve their confidence in preparing their lesson plans. Finding also reveals that the teaching practice system of the website helps improve the level of teacher trainees’ generic skills to a high level (mean 4.02).
