Keterangan dari Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia mengenai penggunaan Kalkulator Saintifik


“Cikgu, boleh ke pakai kalkulator fx-570ES tu untuk guna dalam exam nanti?”
“Tahun lepas kami dilarang menggunakan fx-570ES tu dalam peperiksaan. Cuma boleh guna fx-570MS yang kelabu gelap tu aje”

Ada beberapa perdebatan dalam membenarkan murid menggunakan kalkulator fx-570ES dan fx-570ES PLUS dalam peperiksaan dengan alasan tidak mengikut spesifikasi yang ditetapkan oleh Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia. Kalau mengikut Surat Pekeliling Ikhtisas bil. 6/2002, Penggunaan Kalkulator Saintifik Di Sekolah Menengah Untuk Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Serta Peperiksaan Kebangsaan menyatakan spesifikasi am kalkulator yang boleh digunakan dalam peperiksaan:
  1. Mematuhi prinsip pengiraan operasi Matematik.
  2. Mempunyai paparan sekurang-kurangnya 8 digit dengan tambahan 2 digit eksponen.
  3. Tidak boleh diprogramkan.
  4. Boleh menukar unit darjah kepada unit radian dan sebaliknya.
  5. Boleh menukar pecahan kepada perpuluhan dan sebaliknya.
  6. Boleh menyimpan nilai sesuatu nombor (memory).
Berikut adalah spesifikasi fx-570ES (dipetik dari laman web rasmi Casio)

Ramai salah sangka bahawa 570ES tidak boleh digunakan dalam peperiksaan kerana ianya boleh diprogramkan. Kalkulator 570ES dan 570ES PLUS tidak termasuk dalam kategori kalkulator yang boleh diprogramkan. Kalkulator jenama Casio yang boleh diprogramkan setakat ini cuma fx-5800P, fx-50F PLUS, fx-50FH, fx-3650P, fx-3950P dan fx-4500PA; yang mana kesemuanya mempunyai PROGRAM FUNCTION. SOLVE FUNCTION yang terdapat dalam fx-570MS, fx-570ES dan fx-570ES PLUS tidak termasuk dalam fungsi yang boleh diprogramkan.
Beberapa polemik berkenaan penggunaan fx-570ES dan fx-570ES PLUS dalam peperiksaan timbul apabila pada tahun 2009, Ketua Pengawas Peperiksaan SPM di sebuah sekolah tidak membenarkan penggunaan fx-570ES dalam dewan peperiksaan.

dan berikut adalah respon dari Unit Komunikasi Korporat Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia dan Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia berhubung isu terbabit (atau klik disini untuk muat turun keratan akhbar)

Calon SPM boleh guna kalkulator ikut spesifikasi
Kementerian Pelajaran ingin merujuk kepada surat pembaca bertajuk ‘Calon SPM dihalang guna kalkulator’ yang disiarkan pada 24 November 2009 yang lalu.
Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia (LPM) dan kementerian ingin mengucapkan terima kasih dan mengambil maklum mengenai keprihatinan terhadap perkara ini.
LPM dan kementerian ingin menjelaskan bahawa setiap calon Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) dibenarkan untuk membawa masuk ke dewan/bilik peperiksaan kalkulator saintifik yang tidak boleh diprogramkan.
Untuk makluman, syarat penggunaan kalkulator adalah seperti dalam syarat yang ada dalam buku peraturan dan panduan peperiksaan SPM 2009.
Spesifikasi am bagi kalkulator yang dibenarkan adalah seperti berikut:
# Mematuhi prinsip pengiraan operasi matematik
# Mempunyai paparan sekurang-kurangnya 8 digit dengan tambahan dengan 2 digit Eksponen
# Tidak boleh diprogramkan
# Boleh menukar unit darjah kepada unit radian dan sebaliknya
# Boleh menukar pecahan kepada perpuluhan dan sebaliknya
# Boleh menyimpan nilai sesuatu nombor (memory)
Oleh yang demikian hanya ciri-ciri yang digariskan ini saja dibenarkan. LPM tidak dapat memperincikan jenis atau jenama kalkulator yang tepat yang boleh dibawa oleh calon ke dalam dewan/bilik peperiksaan kerana terlalu banyak ciri-ciri dan jenis kalkulator yang ada di pasaran.
Bagaimanapun, kalkulator Casio fx570ES dan Casio fx570MS memenuhi spesifikasi di atas dan boleh digunakan untuk peperiksaan. Sehubungan itu, maka diputuskan bahawa calon dibenarkan membawa masuk kalkulator Casio fx570ES atau Casio fx570MS ke dewan/bilik peperiksaan bagi kertas Matematik Tambahan 1 dan 2 yang berlangsung pada Rabu, 25 November lalu.

UNIT KOMUNIKASI KORPORAT,
Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia.

To: Penang MCA Secretary Lau Chiek Tuan
In respond to this newspaper report, I would like to request all politicians not to interfere any teacher's work in order to guide the students for a better future. Instead, work out something to help the situation. Go to the school to get a better picture and listen to both sides of the story. Please investigate thoroughly before doing anything. Making a police report or publicising the matter will only cause the public to distrust our education system.

On behalf of teachers of Malaysia

Do you agree?
1. Saturday classes are pointless: Extra classes in addition to the two public holidays allocated for Chinese New Year. Thus poor turnout, teachers are less inclined to teach.
2. Teachers are on leave, a relief teacher is sent. Therefore, no lesson conducted.
3. Disciplinary issues to be resolved, a discipline teacher can som
etimes miss lessons or come into class almost at the end of the lesson.

How to Respond to an Angry Student via Email or Poison Pen Letter

  • Do not respond immediately. Wait two or three days and carefully consider your response.
  • Use a professional tone.
  • Address the student by name.
  • Deal with only the issue brought up in the email.
  • Do not address personal matters via email. (If you need to address such issues, use the telephone.)
  • Limit your response to two or three lines. (“The more you write, the more ammunition you’re giving them to get angry all over again,” Brown said.)
  • Close “Respectfully, [your name].”

Bring in all elements of love
Teachers should not only teach but make it a point to nurture and interact with their students.
Sometimes all it takes is a hug and some counselling to bring about positive changes in a student.

Stamping Out Teen Smoking
Do’s and Don’ts for Parents: Keeping Teens Smoke-Free
1. Do take nicotine addiction seriously.
2. Don’t assume teens know the dangers. 
3. Do talk about (immediate) health consequences and the cost.
4. Don’t underestimate your own influence.
5. Do talk to your child’s healthcare provider, athletic coaches, and guidance counselors. The more caring adults who know your child smokes, the better.
6. Don’t turn cigarettes into a “forbidden fruit.” No-smoking rules are fine, but only if they are premised on the dangers associated with cigarettes, not just “Those are my rules and you must obey.” Make sure you tell your teen how much you admire and respect his or her decision not to smoke, or to quit.
7. Do look for help.
