Seriously, i need pieces of advices or any constructive opinions on the life of being a lecturer in polytechnic colleges in malaysia?
SO what does they do besides teaching? Do they have to involve in vocational trainings as well? And what is the salary of being a lecturers there? Would the time of lecturing is quite flexible just like teaching at private college or would it be like teaching secondary school? Pls guide me. i am so interested of either embarking myself in becoming a lecturer in either polytechnic or IPTA. This post has been edited by OMG!: Jul 15 2009, 09:51 AM |

Why not?
Phd is a way to ensure constant employability.  |

Does all lecturers and professors in IPTA must involve in reseach?
I heard they spend 80% time on reseach and 20%on lecturing? is it true? |

oh my goodness,since they have so much free time around, don't they never think of held an extra lecture to teach students who are not very academically well inclined.
i myself do face some problems in understanding the lectures but making an appointment with them rather tiring and equally impossible. |

Usually, from what i know, if you are aiming to become lecturer in certain IPTA, u have to first choose to take master or phd in the respective IPTA under their scholarships scheme ,then only u r eligible to apply for the posting once u r off with ur study. that is one of the way, a way which is considered as the most possible and probable one to get posting as a lecturer or professor.=)

QUOTE(dragontongue88 @ May 25 2012, 03:24 PM) Hi all, Yes, research is never a predictable thing on when and how long you are going to get it done.I am a student currently doing my Masters, and I am thinking of becoming a lecturer. From what I gather from reading this thread, there are some IPTS that accepts a Masters holder as a lecturer. I know that most lecturers will have to do research as well. The thing I’m curious about is regarding the publications, I’ve heard that lecturers have to publish a certain number of publications every year. Is that true? What I am curious to know is what would happen if a lecturer fails to meet that requirement?  Will the lecturer be fired? Or will he/she just get poor performance rating at the end of the year (thus losing out on perks like bonus, promotion, etc.)? If it is the former, then it certainly seems like a lecturer’s job is a very pressurized job. Because from my experience of my Masters research now, it certainly seems like the research duration is not something that is predictable, there are many occasions where ideas attempted end up in failure, thus taking up a lot of time.I do believe I will enjoy teaching, though I’ve no experience in teaching yet. It is the research part of a lecturer’s job that worries me actually. So if anyone has experience on this, please share with me.  Thanks.   Most of my lecturers did their Phd in overseas and end up in local university IPTA , teaching and researching are two main roles they do. Occasionally, they have to attend conferences, involved in mentoring, and paper works for sure. Publications are only a must if you are graduated from Phd, and not really applies for Master. there is a tier 1,2,3 publication where the Tier 1 is the most excellent work of publication. If you intend to just further up to master, you may find a lecturer position in IPTS to be relatively easier to secure compared to IPTA as IPTA now aiming for producing full time Phd holders to hold the lecturer position. While for IPTS which is not so heavily inclined on research, most of your time will be on lecturing. By the way, again, it is important to state your field of study.

QUOTE(Human Nature @ May 26 2012, 10:34 AM) That is not entrirely correct as non Phd lecturers are required to have publications too. Tiers are determined by the university and different universities may have different set of tiering. When we discuss about IPTA and IPTS, we should differentiate between the premier and non premier ones. In low ranked IPTAs, you can still become a lecturer with just a master. As for premier IPTS, research and publication is a major component. Yes thanks for clarifying. Do you know how to differentiate a IPTS between the premier and the non-premier?As far as I know, those with university status will belong to the premier one, but I am just not too sure how established their research works and publications do. Sunway, Taylor, HELP, Monash, Nottingham, AIMST, UCSI for sure belong to the premier one, right? |

QUOTE(Human Nature @ May 26 2012, 07:01 PM) There is no real classification for IPTS in Malaysia. There is a so called SETARA rating but research only contributes 15% of it. Few years back, I came across a statistic on the number of publications generated by the various IPTA, IPTS and government agencies in Malaysia. Perhaps such kind of data gives a better representation on the R&D activities carried out by these institutions. Would love to know what is the current statistic now. It is like comparing apples and oranges if we compare the research activities between a IPTA and IPTS due to the nature that IPTA are heavily highly supported by gov giving grant to carry out their research and thus theirs are much more established than IPTS. To me, IPTS is a money-minded industry, more or less, majority of them focus on getting more postgrads students with no strict requirements imposed. But some do very well, and contribute a lots to the industry and economy. Nowadays, there are these common collaboration exists between IPTA and IPTS from the fact that many of the Phd candidates with main supervisor from a IPTA have co-supervisor from a IPTS. Both complement with each other very well in research activities. |

normally we called it as tutor. You may consider to apply for the part time tutor position. This way, it will provide a good platform for your future lecturing work, and at the same time, earn some stipends.
Unless you are getting their scholarships, if not you will not be on any contract. |
