Low interest of student taking science subject have become a treat recently......imagine a country lack with S&T experts?
A study in UAE country's revealed that most of their university graduates reluctant to further study in science.....as a result, they depends on outsiders for the technical experts such as engineer, doctors, science consultancy and others.....even though some of these country is bless with rich natural resources such as oils and minerals....but they depends on others to harvest n exploit the resources......

There is many factors tht can encourage the youngsters to involve in science....but in order to increase the interest of students taking science subject in schools ~ parents, teachers, and society play an important role.
The environment initiate by the government and culture practice by the society play an important role to nurture the interest.
I have 6 siblings.....i was raise in a beautiful village, surrounded by waterfall and clean rivers.....the nearest schools that offers pure science subjects is at the nearby town.....the journey to the school takes more than 1 hours....i have to wakes up early in the morning just to catch the earliest bus to school...and i always reach school around 6.30am...yet i never make complain.....
What determine my spirit to take science? What make the 15 years old girl desire to take science? Who influenced her?
Out of my 6 siblings, 5 of us takes pure science subjects in school....my mother is not highly educated and my father is only a farmer.....but what hv cultured in my family is....my mom always told me a story about study science is good.....i'm not sure where she get the message from.....but i remember there is a time where a lot of science students from some universities (late 80's) come to our village and do community service....give us a night workshop or talks....make some science sampling with us and keep on encourage us to study....They keep in touch with us and we feels like family....(i don't think all of these graduates have time to demonstrate or joining BERSIH like wht our graduates did today...) They explain to the villagers about the important and interesting facts about studying science...the future of science for them looks very bright and its makes my mom keep on telling us the good stories everyday.....
Teachers? Hardly remember any of them hv influence me...never mind ~ now 3 of our siblings graduated in science...2 of us still pursuing studies in science...
If more than 10 families in my village have the same pattern and culture of understanding science, imagine how many science graduate can we get in the whole state? I believe the whole country can reach the 60:40 ratio of science students vs. arts students as the government wish by 2020?
The promotion of science mst reach the grass root and the society must undrstand and see the prospect of science...........popularity of career in science must be promoted well......there's should be a clear plan to create a sustained science career tht can attract the interest of our society.....if not, they will surely choose the easier subjects..... :-p or most of the science graduate will only be either a teachers or a lecturers....if not an engineers or doctors....the prospect of science career must be wider and interesting enough ~
I start to undersnd why our beloved Tun Mahathir wish to have 5 science centres in Malaysia last time ~ "To promote life-long learning of science and technology and inculcate the spirit of innovation to the society"...
Thailand have better ratio of science students compare to us.....even Philipine have 40:60...if i'm not mistaken, now Malaysia only have 20:80 ratio....(not sure if this ratio is better for the last 10 years back)...Japan and Australia around 60:40.... yet, they still worried and hope the ratio is higher...and keep on doing many things to at least sustained the numbers...
Students in Malaysia have to decide between science or arts at the age of 15 years old.....who do we think is the biggest influence for them to choose? Parents? Friend? Teachers? or just themselves??

| Teachers mst teaching sc in more interactive ways.....don't make too complicated ways of teaching....make things simple to understand.....attract more students to involves....create fun activities....not only concentrate to the thick text books to finish! Huhuhuh......makes science classes looks so torturing....issh2x...kesiannnn....inject arts + science in the class.....so that the science is not tooo Dry!!! Make it nice to see n nice to learn! :-D |
