First of all, I would like to ask for apology from my beloved subject lecturer Mr. Ahmad

Marzuki Abdul Rahman. I realized that I had been busy all this while but that would not be an

excuse for me to procrastinate my coursework progress. I admit that I am lazy and easy to

lose interest while doing something which I do not really like especially coursework. Although

it is just a simple task, commitment is something that will lead to our success in most things

we do. Once we lose commitment in something, it is hard to get it back. Same goes with me.

Actually, one month long is more than enough for me to complete this coursework. However,

I do not know how I suppose to start with the critical essay. Nevertheless, I fully blame myself

for not being initiative and responsible towards this task. I should have consult with the

subject lecturer regarding this matter. I really regret what had done. I feel sorry for subject

lecturer because I had disappointed him so badly. From now on, I should have learnt some

lesson from this mistake.

Secondly, I would like to express my gratitude towards God for the mental and

physical strength He had gave me while completing this short coursework. Before I can

elaborate more about this, I would like to use this opportunity to thank everyone who had

sincerely contributed their efforts towards this work. Next, I would like to show my

appreciation towards my subject lecturer for his guidance and help while searching for the

relevant and related information. Same goes to my course mates, Muhammad Raihan

Sapi’ee, Dayang Nur Atiqah Osman and others who I do not mentioned their names but had

together put their effort in this project and make sure that it is done and be submitted.

During this semester, I had received a task from my lecturer ask me to complete a

short coursework regarding his Introduction to Education subject (PN 3311 D1). This is

compulsory for every student in their foundation year because it carries marks and this mark

is the pass that will determined whether we can sit for our final examination before entering

degree program. The purpose of this coursework was to fulfil the need of this subject. It also

teaches us some values that we will never get during lecture. That is why lecture alone is not

reliable until we do some practical works on it. Other than that it also let us practise some

good self discipline. Discipline is one of work ethic that we all have to obey. Without it, we are

nothing since it is the basic foundation for everything we do in life.

I fell excited while working on this task even though it is tough for a weak student like

me. Some might feel distress if they are pressurize by something that they do not like. But,

for me I take this as challenge because as far as I know challenges will make me a better

person. At the same time, I can have the chance to understand well the content of the

National Philosophy of Education of Malaysia reflects my contribution as IPG’s student

through National Education Development (PPP). This important for all teachers-to-be to learn

and understand the fundamental of this philosophy as we are going to conduct the plans in

order to see transformation in our education system and to make sure that Malaysia’s

education system is one of the best in the world.

Now only I realized lucky we are being expose to the national philosophy of education

through this subject. This is not only essential for us to know but to prepare ourselves, body,

mind and spirit to serve and develop the society for a better living. Nelson Mendela once

said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” I

believe in what I am doing now is important for my future generation and the nation.

Overall, I am satisfied with all the efforts I have put on this work as I already tried my

best to present the answer although I am not really sure on what I had written in this fifteen

pages essay. I hope I could do better next time and try to improve myself. With that, I thank

you.
