..::Assignment 4~ Literature Review Reflection::..

Assalamualaikum.n hye. 


Time and tide waits for no men. That is all I can say about the whole short semester in general. Once you are left behind, almost impossible for you to catch up and keep up with the pace.

To begin, the very first time I heard about "Literature Review" is
1. what is that going to do with ICT?
2. in ICT also got literature?
3. literature is about poems, short stories and etcetera.....

BUT, a big but there, literature Review is something else. I may be so naive about this, because no one ever told me about this before. and doing a literature review? A thing that I never attempt to do.So when i think that it is less preferable to think of and do, i tend todelay the work. and this is bad you know. actually this task is accomplished weeks ago, but this reflection never come across my mind, and only today i have the opportunity to write this reflection.

move on, the literature review is about the journal actually. you are assigned to do a journal based in articles that you should read from different available sources. its quite complicated at first place,because we have no idea about what to write and etcetera. so, we have chosen a topic, that is First Class Facilities with Third Class Mentality. and it is now available in my yahoo! group.

In completing the literature review, there are lists of reference that we should read from. once we have chosen the topics, we should started our journal search from the listed materials. they are: Digital Library UKM, Google Scholar and Google Books. Finding the right journal for the topics chosen are a bit difficult. so it took some times to finish the assignment.

Our focus is more on Malaysians. do they have the mentality that is at par with the facilities? so after formulating the problems and solutions available, we started our journal writing. In the journal, there are  problems that has been discussed. One of them is the government has provided first class facilities, but Malaysians still don't have sufficient knowledge about them. in spite of that, the students critical thinking also not been used while looking for the materials in doing their homework. they just simply pick without realizing the authenticity of the materials.

however, we also have come out with several solutions. They can be either allocating special subject in schools, parents work collaboratively with teachers to enhance their children thinking skills, and etc....

in conclusion, there are lots of pros and cons in using ICT. the mentality of Malaysians should be change so that they facilities provided not simply such a waste. by hook or by crook, in order to become a well developed country, we have to eliminate the threat among Malaysians. Actually, i have gained a lot of knowledge throughout the course. I will never regret of doing this thing, as it improves my ICT skillls. there are also millions of references in the UKM's Digital Library, Google Scholar and also Google Books. Before this, I seldom use those. so I am so glad to accomplish my literature review with the help of my partner in doing this assignment, Abdul Rahman bin Ibrahim. Credit to him. and notto forget, my lecturer, YM Tengku Norazlan, and our beloved coordinator, Dr. Siti Fatimah. with that, I thank you. :)
