The use of ICT in the learning of oral interaction [Penggunaan ICT dalam pembelajaran interaksi lisan]

Abstract

Sejak dasawarsa lalu, penggunaan alat-alat dan wadah Teknologi Maklumat dan Komunikasi (ICT) menekankan penerapan teknologi dalam proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran (PdP) dalam bilik darjah. Beberapa kajian dan laporan telah menunjukkan kesan positif daripada penggunaan ICT dalam kelas pada hasil pembelajaran dan pencapaian pelajar. Selain itu, penggunaan ICT yang lebih meluas serta pendekatan menawarkan pilihan kepada pembelajaran pelajar dapat menggalakkan pembelajaran berarah kendiri, melatih pelajar menjadi lebih berdikari dan sekali gus meningkatkan pengetahuan dan motivasi intrinsik pelajar serta membina keyakinan diri. Bahkan, hal ini merupakan kemahiran abad ke-21 yang penting dan diperlukan. Kertas kerja ini akan membentangkan kaedah ‘rembat pendapat’ sebagai pendekatan alternatif PdP (dengan menggunakan beberapa wadah ICT) yang menyeronokkan dalam menggalakkan kemahiran berkomunikasi secara berkesan dalam kalangan pelajar. Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa ‘rembat pendapat’ merupakan salah satu kaedah yang efektif bagi merangsang minat para pelajar terhadap pelajaran bahasa Melayu serta melahirkan pemikiran kreatif dan kritis dalam kalangan para pelajar mengenai pelbagai isu yang berkaitan dengan budaya dan masayarakat Melayu.
