Call To Curb Plagiarism In Schools
BY Hana Roslan
Bandar Seri Begawan - Some teachers have called on schools to implement harsher penalties to students who plagiarise, or taking information without referencing from someone else's writing or speech.
A 27-year-old female teacher, who is teaching Years 10 and 11, said that introducing stricter rules for plagiarism would he good, especially with the implementation of the new education system (SPN21).
Plagiarism would be a big issue for Years seven and eight students as there will be a lot of class projects to be done. "If the students are just going to copy from the Internet or encyclopaedias, then they won't be able to learn anything," she said.
Using the importance of recycling or saving habits as a metaphor, the teacher stressed that students should also understand the importance
of respecting another person's work. "I don't think the students would like it when another person copies their work," she said.
With increasing pressure to perform better in the new education system, she said that even parents work together with their children to plagiarise.
"Parents really want their children to score well, so in order to help them, they might surf the Internet for them and their kids just copy and paste," she said.
She added: "Parents can help their kids to the research, but tell them not to copy. Help them learn to get the main ideas and put them in words."
Calling herself a "self-proclaimed Internet freak", she said that she knows when her students are copying.
"Sometimes I give them a description and tell them to draw it for me. But all they do is just get it off the Internet and it's just really obvious," she said.
Another female teacher, who did not want to be named, said that plagiarism occurs regularly in her school.
"It happened last year to one of my colleagues, where a student just cut and pasted everything from the Internet and another case when students were just copying each other's work in front of my eyes," she said.
"Even when I send them to the principal's office, there just isn't any harsh rule about it because they don't think plagiarism is a big issue. The truth is that it actually is," she added.
Having met parents during the parent-teacher meetings, she observed that parents hardly take
a strong stance in the matters of their children duplicating others' work.
"All they say is stop copying and there are no strict punishments given at all," she said.
Sajeedah Rosman, 22, a Year seven teacher, said that plagiarism should be taken as an offence in all schools. "It should be stricter in schools because it's not the students' original work, it's all just blatant copying and that is just wrong. What happened to the ideas of the students?," she questioned.
Placing blame on the parents is not the answer, she said.
Even if schools impose harsher rules, Sajeedah said that there will always be a loophole for students to continue their habits. "The only thing that's left to do is to remind them of the importance of respecting another person's work and for parents to build up on their child's conscience in reminding them that plagiarising is wrong," she said.
She also proposed that teachers encourage their students to use a bibliography. "When they get to university, they will be practicing this anyway so why don't start now? Referencing work can be a surefire way of helping curb this problem of plagiarism," she said. -- Courtesy of The Brunei Times

UBD Set To Be First-Class College
By Sonia K
Bandar Seri Begawan - Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) will be setting up a new unit and establish a new institute to drive the change the university needs to become a first-class international college.
This was said by UBD Vice Chancellor Dr Haji Zulkarnain bin Haji Hanafi during his address to the academic staff of the university on Monday during the opening of the new semester.
The unit, he said, will be responsible for the continuous professional development of all UBD staff.
The Senate has also approved the establishment of the Institute of Leadership, Innovation and Advancement, he said.
Dr Haji Zulkarnain also emphasised on the need to develop a culture that constantly strives for excellence, adding that the changes will ensure
that UBD stays relevant.
"We should not be afraid to be self-critical," he said. "We must be willing to audit ourselves as an organisation, faculty and individual, and to continuously scan for gaps, hazards or opportunities if we are to achieve our vision of becoming a first-class international university."
He vowed to commit to the development of newly appointed deans and directors, who began on January 1, through a continuous professional development programme.
"In return, I expect them to make the development of colleagues, students and their respective faculties as their key deliverable," he said, adding that he also expected them "to propagate a culture of leadership and continuously excel themselves as core values of individuals in the university".
The vice chancellor noted that the chancellery will commit to bringing positive changes to the UBD administration, adding that such an initiative will require knowledgeable and talented team.
To be a first-class international university, he said, UBD will need a first-class administrative system and executives.
"It needs to be rigorous and yet adoptable and facilitative," he said. "We will make sure that our administrative executives will also undergo continuous professional development through programmes."
Dr Haji Zulkarnain said UBD will this year be implementing a number of projects in its bid to upgrade its infrastructure.
"Funding has been made available through the National Development Plan and the projects are expected to be completed between now and 2012."
The upgrades will include the ICT network and the expansion of internet bandwidth; teaching and learning areas, as well as the construction of new teaching and learning sites; extension works on a number of existing buildings as well as the setting up of a central science research facility; refurbishment of the library; and the construction of a swimming pool.
He also said, "The UBD Strategic Plan has identified `strengthening of research profile' as one of the objectives to meet our vision.
"Institutionalising research for students and academicians, by integrating teaching and learning, creates a culture of inquisitiveness and resourcefulness," he added.
The vice chancellor called for collaborative and cross-disciplinary research to "enable us to develop a talent pool, which can be tapped by our stakeholders for the benefit of the community".
Last year, he said, everyone saw a strong commitwent from His Majesty's Government in supporting research in energy, biodiversity and agrotechnology.
"This is the first time - and hopefully not the last -that our researchers have access to bid competitively for substantial research funding," he said. "I understand that the selection process is in its final stages, and I look forward to UBD research teams being awarded a fair share of the funding."
Dr Haji Zulkarnain also proposed a substantial increase in UBD's budget allocation to support research in disciplines other than science and technology.
In the meantime, he said, alternative sources of funding are sought for research, adding that announcements will be made from time to time regarding the availability of such funding so that appropriate bid can be made. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

Mixed Feelings About SPN21
By Amin Hosni
Bandar Seri Begawan - The National Education System for the 21st Century (SPN21) implemented this year by the Ministry of Education to upgrade students with 21st Century skills has captured the nation's imagination on its potential to "renew" outdated systems in the Sultanate.
In a titah to mark Teachers' Day two years ago, His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam welcomed the new education system as it is "an appropriate step especially in an era of globalisation".
However, the Bulletin has learnt that there are some members in the community who have reservations about this ambitious plan.
Concerned members of the public, including teachers, who were approached by the Bulletin, believe that implementing the SPN21 will be a "difficult task" especially for Primary One and Primary Four teachers.
Ms Anie, a Primary Five math teacher of a primary school in Kampong Ayer, said that she does not fully understand what the SPN21 is all about even though the national education system was being rolled out this year.
"I have not been informed about the changes of (the old education system)," the 29-year-old teacher said, adding that she strongly believes that teachers at her school were "not qualified" as they "have no knowledge" about some of the new subjects, such as music and technology.
Ms Anie is also concerned that her school, which currently has "sufficient number of computers", could run into problems because there are not enough projectors.
If more than one class needs to use the projectors, this could "result in setbacks or delays in teaching schedules", she lamented.
Meanwhile, a former primary school teacher at Lambak Kanan, who requested anonymity, said that the SPN21 was "structurally unclear" and that teachers in Brunei were "not ready for it".
"The new system is not just book oriented... it requires classes to go on field trips and such. Teachers are also required to follow a set of teaching methods. But how can they if they are unprepared?
"Some teachers have not attended these workshops while teachers appointed to educate children on these subjects lack experience. Furthermore, textbooks such as social studies have not been published," the teacher said.
The former primary teacher went on to say that concerned parents have been asking her if schools have teachers who are qualified to teach their children these new subjects.
Fauzana Daud, a secondary teacher of a school in the capital, pointed out one downside of the SPN21. According to her, students will not have to repeat the academic year if they fail certain subjects. Some students may be less like to study hard because they are confident that they would be promoted no matter what, she said.
"Back in the 1990s, 'our generation' would be afraid to get red ink on their report cards. But these days, it's like a trend for students to get red marks. But who's to blame? The teachers or the students?"
The Bulletin has learnt that the full implementation of the SPN 21 for all primary classes would be completed in 2011. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

UBD Students Visit Malaysian Sporting Establishments
