Introduction

2.Issues about curriculum framework

1. Issues about the teacher

-Introduction to the subject

-Cross-curricular elements

-Pedagogical approach

4

-Teachers having difficulty due to lack of

guidance

-Lack of knowledge about Pentaksiran Berasaskan

Sekolah (PBS)

3. Education was teacher oriented.

4. Curriculum content is outdated.

-Lack of surveillance from higher authority

Textbook was incompatible:

• Not enough exercises for students
• Exercises are not in current examination format
• Teachers had to provide exercises for students
• Students become dependent on teachers

-Teachers felt stress with renewal of

education system

The changing and increasingly competitive national and international landscape requires a rethink of where Malaysia stands today and where the nation needs to move forward.

There are indicators that the system needs to be more competitive in today’s changing world:

• Malaysia performed in the bottom third for Reading, Mathematics and Science in PISA 2009.

What the government is doing to counter this:

• Introduced 21st Century Learning where it revolves around students
• Encouraging students to self-learn and be independent

4 Issues

What the government is doing to counter this:

• Creating the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025
• Content is revised and improved to ensure students are well equipped with knowledge, skills and values that are relevant in the 21st century.
• Teaching pedagogy emphasizes HOTs. Focus is given to learning by inquiries, problem-solving, contextual learning, collaborative learning, project-based learning and STEM.

Strategies

• Knowledge share between students
• Teachers and students share authority
• Teacher’s role as the facilitator or guider
• Learning group will consist of small numbers of heterogeneous students

Assumptions About

Learners’ Needs

A

1)Problem Solving

2) Wide-range themes such as people and culture, health and environment, science and technology.

3) Acknowledging pupil differences.

Assumptions About Context In Which Learning Occurs.

• 21st Century Learning
• Effective Teaching

Assumptions

Disagree

Agree

1) SBELC focus on student-centered

• students be more independent, responsible, communicative
• teacher as a facilitator

1) The themes provided in the SBELC is not enough for teaching-learning process;people and culture, health and environment, science and technology, consumerism and financial awareness

-All the related things in the world are not accommodated in the themes of SBELC

A&D

2) SBELC integrates many language skills

• listening skills
• reading skills
• speaking skills
• writing skills

3) SBELC focus on project-based learning

• helps students connect to real world and understand more the concept
• students learn about problem-solving and improve creativity
• improve students' technology abilities

Agree & Disagree with the assumptions

2) HOTS harms the students

(The Acceptance And Problems Faced By Teachers

In Conducting Higher Order Thinking Skills Journal)

-Does not help low proficiency students because of some factors;teachers and health

-Lead to stress, depression and demotivated the students

4) Content in SBELC is more specific

provide learning standard and content standard

includes modules namely listening &

speaking, reading, writing, grammar,

literature in action

3) Program evaluation is not specifically given to evaluate the abilities of the students

• only provide specific contents but not the specific rubrics
• does not contribute a specific and standardized rubrics in each content standard for every skill

5 Strategies

Addingg more themes

-'Historical and Democracy'

- They dont take it seriously and they lose interest very quickly in humanities past

- woouldnt have initiative and feelings for shaping our future

Acceptance and Rejection

- Attraction and repel (magnet)

- leads to predicted and speculate outcome

- practice layering effect

Specific ways in evaluating

- clear all students doubts and they get to improve based on their understanding

S

• Lessen students burden and stress on hots questions
• Additional of themes to the lesson organization
• Provide specific ways in evaluating students
• Blend students with native speakers
• Students and teachers be active in social networking

HOTS

- reduce questions and increase them at presentation
