Dr. Mohamad Termizi Bin Borhan from Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) shared his valuable knowledge in the field of integrated natural sciences learning through the Visiting Professor program of the EQUITY Project scheme. A total of 146 bachelor's degree students of natural sciences education learned about the dynamics of integrated natural sciences learning in Southeast Asia and its application specifically in Malaysia. Meanwhile, 47 UNY students who are pursuing master's and doctoral degrees in Natural Sciences Education learned about Problem & Project Based Learning.
"Understanding integrated natural sciences learning can encourage educators to develop students' critical thinking skills," said Dr. Termizi.
The visiting professor program is a form of effort to develop quality education while encouraging international partnerships. "In addition to sharing knowledge with students, I also hope we can collaborate on research and community service. Hopefully, this program can become one of the important points in credit transfer cooperation between the two institutions, as well as facilitating academic mobility for students and lecturers," said Prof. Dr. Dadan Rosana, Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences UNY.
