STOICISM: PEMANGLIAN TAMADUN ERA VUCA

-
Terbaca tentang stoicism. Kisah Seneca, sang penasihat nero, dan Aurelia, sang maharaja adil yang melupakan cinta hidupnya. Mungkin bijak pandai zaman ini terperangkap dengan falsafah ini? Memuliakan diri dengan rasional stoic sedangkan dunia semakin hampir kepada kezaliman total.

PERANAN UNIVERSITI: IBARAT LAMPU YANG MALAP

-
Image
   sumber :gcedestin.com Universiti adalah institusi yang penting bagi sebuah negara. Ia ibarat kompas sebuah kapal, yang akan membantu mengemudi negara ke arah kesejahteraan dan kemakmuran. Ia juga institusi yang mahal. Banyak wang yang dicurahkan untuk membiayai universiti, namun begitu, nilainya hakikinya lebih tinggi dari jumlah wang yang dilaburkan. Ia ibarat sebuah lampu, menerangi masyarakat dan negara dalam memilih jalan yang betul dalam mencari kemajuan dan kemakmuran. Namun dalam senario hari ini di tahun 2024, ia ibarat sebuah lampu yang bersinar namun sinarnya tidak mampu memberi memberi cahaya kepada masyarakat, melainkan sedikit. Ianya ibarat lampu yang malap. Seandainya dinilai dari pandangan kasar, hal ini tidak sepatutnya terjadi, kerana saban tahun, kita dimaklumkan oleh Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi bahawa sekian sekian universiti, rankingnya semakin meningkat menurut beberapa sistem penarafan antarabangsa. Beberapa univesiti awam negara berada dalam kelomp...

Irrationality of Modern Rationality- The Danger of Thinking Small.

Rational thinking is the default mode of thinking of many aspects of our modern life. It is not the focus of this article to debunk this notion, which might proof impossible. Just like capitalism, rationality is now the lifeblood, the air we breathe. As a principle itself, it makes perfect sense. However, what is proposed here is that, in the wrong doses, it might prove disastrous for us all. In his book One Dimensional Man, Herbert Marcuse  talked about the irrationality of advanced industrial Society. The irrationality of our lives can be portrayed by these paradoxical existential states. We act rationally but in the grand scheme of irrationality. For example, it is rational for us to go to work to earn a living and have a good life. But let's look at the bigger scheme of things. Our bigger objective is the survival of our children, humanity or even mother earth. On this scale, the rationality may collapse. This may happen when our work may have a detrimental impact on our surviv...

Bloom’s Taxonomy And OBE: Manifestation Of Reductionism In Malaysian Education

-
Zaky Jafaar Reductionism has long been a source of concern for thinkers and scholars, as it has been linked to the degradation of several key institutions in modern society, including the economy, science, politics and education. This paper investigates the presence of reductionism in its more extreme form, or ‘wild reductionism’, within the Malaysian education system. Two key concepts have been identified as vessels for reductionism: Bloom’s taxonomy and Outcome-Based Education as interpreted by the Malaysian Engineering Education Council and adopted by many institutions.   Reductionism is evident in the paradigmatic framework of these two concepts. This paper explores the issues and criticisms arising from their adoptions are presented. The criticisms against both have been ignored by educators and policymakers in shaping the education ecosystem.   Bloom’s Taxonomy and Outcome-based Education is currently adopted as the basis of the Malaysian education framework. Amidst the ...
