Books Still Top Source Of Teaching Aid

Bandar Seri Begawan – Books still play its role as the source of teaching and educational aid.

Dr Haji Ismail bin Haji Duraman, Vice Chancellor of University Brunei Darussalam (UBD), highlighted this before launching a book written by a local student.

He pointed this as the main reason why books are still relevant even in this age of ICT and globalisation and its usage need to be continued.

“In today's world”, he said, “the books could serve as a complement added value to the present teaching and educational materials,” he stressed.

He further added that this is in line with UBD's function to enrich reference books, reading and experiment books, especially in the discipline field that lacks reading materials.

“By this way we can upgrade UBD's ability in spreading education through book publishing to the communit,” he said.

The book entitled "Kaedah Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sejarah" or “Methods in Teaching and Studying History" was written by Awang Zelzy Shahar Al-Johary.

Born in Kampong Sumbiling Lama, Awang Zelzy is now doing his PhD in History in Education at the Institute of Education, University of London.

The book is targeted for use by primary schools, secondary schools, university students, especially those taking up teaching.

The book stresses on methods of teaching and studying history in schools in the country.
