Proposed Recognition of Courses Conducted by PPA to Certificate, Master and Doctorate Levels

AbstractIn line with the government's aspiration to develop the enhancement of knowledge among Malaysians, the process of learning should be a continuous process. Hence, the Centre for Academic Development (PPA) of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) has moved a step further by providing an innovative curriculum by recognizing the various programs conducted by PPA to be given credits to make the process of learning more meaningful. This working paper discusses the implementation of courses at the certificate, master and doctorate (Educational Development) levels through programs and courses conducted by PPA. The courses involved are Competency Level Assessment (PTK) courses as well as other courses which are organized by PPA. The overall objective of the programs is to produce excellent and professional academicians and academic administrators by focusing on the aspects of education, supervision, research and service in line with the UKM's aspiration. The entry requirements as well as the implementation methods for the certificate, master and doctorate programs will also be discussed
