Academic Visit to SMK Ibrahim and Lembah Bujang

Last Sunday on 13 November 2011, Academic Mentoring Programme (AMP) held an Academic Visit to Ibrahim Secondary School, Sungai Batu, Lembah Bujang Archaeological Museum and Tanjung Dawai. The participants consisted of 30 students where all of us are the mentors of Academic Mentoring Programme and 1 advisor programme who is Tuan Haji Mohamed bin Alias. 

This programme aims to expose all the mentors and assistant mentors about the teaching and learning system as well as the proper teaching system in school. This is because Academic Mentoring Programme (AMP) is a programme to help and to assist the orphans at the Albukhary Orphanage in their study, as a result for their future life and education.The purpose for us to visit SMK Ibrahim is because this school is a leading and one of the best schools in Malaysia because of its excellence performance in academic and co-curriculum activities. It is hoped that by having this type of programme, we could learn and apply these in our programme. 

The objectives of this programme are as followed;- to understand more on teaching and learning process in classroom, to expose the mentors and assistant mentors about pedagogy skills, as one of the learning techniques for all mentors and assistant mentors through auditory, visual and kinesthetic learning, as well as to strengthen the relationships between two institutes.
