Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies show that the number of students who select to study Geography in Malaysian secondary schools, and their level of achievement in the subject, has decreased. The main factor is lack of motivation. Over multiple decades, a large and growing body of literature has indicated that ICT enhances students’ motivation to learn and their learning outcome. The studies demonstrate that the use of ICT in teaching activities provides more fun in an authentic learning environment, and increases learning autonomy, interaction, and collaboration. It is, therefore, a rich opportunity for motivating students to study. In addition, despite an increased interest among scholars to investigate the impact of ICT integrated Geography teaching on students’ motivation and achievement, none have investigated the effects of GIS as a new technological teaching tool on students’ Geography learning goals and their learning outcomes. The idea for this book originated from the author’s PhD study to examine the effects of GIS-based instruction on secondary school student Geography learning goals and their learning outcomes. This book is highly beneficial for Geography teachers to use multiple teaching methods and pedagogies in a GIS integrated teaching environment to cultivate underachieving students’ mastery goal, performance-approach goal and learning, and to decrease avoidance behaviour in learning the subject. Although GIS is widely used in Malaysia, it has not been embraced by the Malaysian education system and is absent from the Geography curriculums in the primary and secondary school contexts. Hence, writing of this book will also help the Curriculum Development Centre and Ministry of Education Malaysia develop a GIS-based teaching module to enhance the learning motivation of Geography and improve the student level of achievement.

Book Synopsis Education for Underprivileged Primary and Secondary Students in Malaysia by : Lay Yoon Fah

Download or read book Education for Underprivileged Primary and Secondary Students in Malaysia written by Lay Yoon Fah. This book was released on 2021-06-21. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best education system provides the best education to all children, irrespective of their ethnic group or socio-economic background. Malaysian education system aims to ensure that all children, irrespective of who their parents are and where they are schooling, will be equipped with the basic needs to succeed in their future educational endeavours and eventually in daily life and the workforce. Malaysian education system strives to narrow the socio-economic gap, between rural and urban as well as gender in student achievement by 2020. Reducing socioeconomic disparities between rural and urban are likely to have an impact on the achievement gap among students. The education system in Malaysia will actively support social mobility by providing additional supports to those who are less fortunate, and thus ensure socio-economic background of students is no longer a determinant factor of their success in life. However, in the effort to realize equity in education to all children in Malaysia, we are confronted with all sorts of problems and challenges. Empirical studies with scientific explanations will provide insights into how education for underprivileged primary and secondary students in Malaysia can be further improved to ensure equal accessibility to quality education. This book attempts to bring together prominent researchers and educators in the field of rural education to share their findings, experiences, reflection, and vision on the emerging trends in rural education in the country. The book will be of special interest to academics and researchers in the field of rural education, curriculum designers, policy makers, educators, teacher educators, trainee teachers, school principals, school inspectorates, undergraduate and postgraduate students in universities and colleges in the country.

Download or read book A Conceptual Framework for Assessing the Impacts of GIS on the Motivation and Achievement in Geography Among Underachieving Students of Smart School in Sabah, Malaysia written by Soon Singh Bikar Singh. This book was released on 2013. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1988, the integrated secondary school curriculum was introduced as a continuation of the curriculum changes introduced in the primary school. These changes have impacted geography subject in the secondary school. Geography becomes a compulsory subject for lower secondary and elective subject at the upper secondary school level. As a result, fewer schools in Malaysia offer geography at this level. Consequently, students in upper secondary school level are shying away from studying geography and the percentage of students who pass the exam is declining each year. Unlike Malaysia, geography is getting more attention in developed countries and has become a key subject at both the primary and secondary levels. As a result, GIS (geography information system) was widely accepted and implemented in the secondary school geography curriculum. Numerous scholars have reported that the use of GIS as a teaching tool has had a positive impact on students' engagement and motivation to learn geography. However, GIS has not yet been introduced to secondary school geography in Malaysia with reason of ability, lack of substantive research into the capacity of GIS to support and motivate students to learn geography. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of GIS promoting students' motivation, engagement, and achievement in geography. This article presents a conceptual model based on an extensive review of literature in a related area for assessing the impact of GIS on the motivation and achievement. (Contains 1 figure.).
