Vickie Lai, Astro’s Head of Education said, “We at Astro are continuously working to provide creative and modern studying methods to make learning and revision easier for our student audience. Based on our research and surveys, we came out with the first of its kind program in Malaysia, which combines academic content and impressive kinetic infographic visuals. As a result, Infografik SPM Sejarah was created which is a revolutionary revision aid that makes academic content easy to understand, absorb and memorize.

We realize that some students may find it difficult to understand and memorize various facts from the Sejarah subject. Given the importance of this subject, which is now a must-pass paper in SPM, we at Astro have worked together with experienced teachers who are Guru Cemerlang Sejarah to produce academic content that is relevant and effective. The content is then presented using kinetic infographics with colorful icons as visual cues to enhance students’ memory.”

Infografik SPM Sejarah will highlight selected top topics for SPM examination such as ‘Kemerdekaan: Lahir negara berdaulat’, ‘Malayan Union: Satu penjajahan’, ‘Pilihanraya: Hak dan tanggungjawab rakyat’, and ‘Globalisasi satu cabaran’. Each episode will feature explanation and important notes which will be presented in the form of infographics.

Apart from the explanation and notes, students’ comprehension of the topic will be put up to test via Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions, and the answer scheme 

will be shown before the end of each segment. Whereas, at the end of the show, a question called ‘Soalan Hangat’, or a subjective questions based on actual examination structure will be posed and students can find out the answer schemes online, at the Astro Tutor TV official website, www.tutortv.com.my.
