National Philosophy of Malaysian Education (NPME)

Philosophy of Education focuses on the values, beliefs and attitudes in relation to the growth

process of individuals and society. These values, beliefs and attitudes determine the direction of

our education, particularly the aims, goals, objectives, content delivery and assessment of

education.

The National Philosophy of Malaysian Education (NPME) as stated by Curriculum

Development Centre (CDC) 1988 is as follows:

EDUCATION IN MALAYSIA IS AN ON-GOING EFFORT TOWARDS FURTHER

DEVELOPING THE POTENTIAL OF INDIVIDUALS IN A HOLISTIC AND INTEGRATED

MANNER SO AS TO PRODUCE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE INTELLECTUALLY,SPIRITUALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY BALANCED AND HARMONIC, BASED

ON A FIRM BELIEF IN AND DEVOTION TO GOD.

SUCH AN EFFORT IS DESIGNED TO PRODUCE MALAYSIAN CITIZENS WHO ARE

KNOWLEDGEABLE AND COMPETENT, WHO POSSESS HIGH MORAL STANDARDS AND

WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE AND CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING HIGH LEVEL OF PERSONAL

WELL-BEING AS WELL AS BEING ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE HARMONY AND

BETTERMENT OF THE FAMILY, SOCIETY AND NATION AT LARGE.

The curriculum developers in CDC decide the National Curriculum. The National

Curriculumisan educational programme that includes curriculum and co-curricular activities

which encompasses all the knowledge, skills, norms, values, cultural elements and belief to help

develop a pupil fully with respect to the physical, spiritual, mental and emotional aspects as well

as to inculcate and develop desirable moral values and to transm it knowledge.

Education Act 1996

(Education (National Curriculum) Regulation 1997)

The curriculum developers in CDC will decide on the kind of knowledge, skills, and attitudes to

be transferred to the learners based on personal needs, community needs, social needs,

economic motives, future needs, and knowledge continuity.


2/27

From our NPME, we can conclude that education in Malaysia is designed to produce Malaysian

Citizens who are knowledgeable and competent, and who possess high moral standards so that

they can function more effectively in their current times and in the future.

In summary, it can be stated that the functions, or outcomes, or the consequences of schoolinginclude the development of the main domains of growth of our young children (as stated in

NPME):

Cognitive domain (knowledge)

Psychomotor domain (skills)

Affective domain (attitudes)

Social domains (social interactions)

Productive domain (knowledge and skills)

Physical domain (development & maintenance of healthy body)

Aesthetic domain (values & appreciation of arts)

Moral domain (values & behaviors)

Spiritual domains (recognition & beliefs in the devine)

Aims of education:

The aims of Malaysian education are to produce individuals who are intellectually, spiritually,

emotionally and physically balanced and harmonic, based on a firm belief in and devotion to

God; so that they become Malaysian citizens who are knowledgeable and competent, possess

high moral standards and are responsible and capable of achieving high level of personal well-being as well as being able to contribute to the harmony and betterment of the family, society

and nation.

Somekeywordsin the NPME are : holistic, intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and

physically balanced, knowledgeable and competent, who possess high moral standards, and

responsible and capable of achieving high level of personal well -being as well as being able to

contribute to the harmony and betterment of the family, society and nation at large.

Based on the above keyword, we probably can match NPME to the general educational

philosophy of Progressivism, which stresses that school should be a miniature of a

democratic society in which students could learn and practice the skills and tools necessary for

democratic living; which include problem-solving methods and scientific inquiry; and learning

experiences that include cooperative behaviours and self-discipline; which are important for

democratic living.

3.0 FACTORS IN DEVELOPING FPK

As mentioned in the concepts of formation of National Philosophy are

based on national ideology, cultures of Malaysian society, Five National

Principles, and Education Reports and Ordinance. Based on all this

material there is a few factors that actually determine the content and

aims of FPK:

Specialization happens where Malaysians are trained with special skill in

various fields can assist in the development of the national economy by

upgrading their productivity. Such an aim can be accomplish with

theproduction of individuals who are knowledgeable and competent,

responsible and capable to contribute towards the betterment of the nation,

family and society. The great ambition of Malaysia to be economic strong

country becomes the prime objective of the national education on the FPK.

3.5 Individual Factor

Process of education is claimed to be able to develop the potential of an

individuals. These individuals potentials cover all intellectual, spiritual,

emotional and physical aspects. Holistic development by integrating allpotential of individual in such a manner that produce balanced and

harmonious citizens.Following this positive attitude is tried to be inculcate in

individuals, enjoy spiritual peacefulness and ever ready to face challenges in

life.Thus the ambition to produce balanced and harmonious individuals was

also one of the aspirations of FPK.

3.6 International Factor

The last factor is International factor is International factor. Another influential

that could not be ignored is the International factor that spreads their influence

through international education seminars and forum that have a degree of

influence in the design of FPK. One of the examples is the lifelong learning

which were discussed and adapted by the UNESCO in the eighties. Its

importance could be seen from the beginning where Education in Malaysia is

an on-going effort, which clearly stated that the concept of lifelong learning

education with the respect to globalization of educations.

International ties or also known as global cooperation also play an important

key in developing a nation. A good image and relationship with other countries

gain many advantageous. Because of this reason, Malaysia tries to play her

role in the international arena, such as contribution to peace and prosperity,


9/27


10/27

well being as well as for the betterment of family, society and nations.

Meanwhile intellectual aspect covers the cognitive knowledge. Cognitive here

not only includes the ability to think rationally logically and solving problem.

Being knowledgeable and able to think critically and creatively is important.

Meanwhile the spiritual and emotional aspects cover elements such as belief

in God, embrace religious faith, spiritual stability, emotional intelligence,

appreciation of moral value and norms of society, good behavior, loyalty and

wiling to sacrifice for the people and the country.

Belief in and devoting to God is one of the important aspects. Belief concerns

the human confidence that the surrounding environment that does not exists

but provided by the God. The law of nature is actually the Law of God. Thusindividuals should exemplify devotions; trust a responsibility to the God in

respect of efforts to administer and develop the environment.

Malaysian has the ambition to produce educated Malaysians that are

competent with noble characters. People who possess positive attitude love to

read, diligent to acquire and apply their knowledge will not only benefit

themselves but also others. Such an example is the scientist that are highly

educated using their knowledge they created high technology that is use for

the betterment of the others like developing methods that stop HIV. People

who are competent possess knowledge and various skills are able to

contribute for the progress of nation. Capable of performing their duties

competently and satisfactorily according to condition and requirement is what

they do. Noble character meant here that people that have high moral values

that also possess the qualities such as discipline integrated the noble practice

in their life. It is very important here because with high intellectual but withoutthe application of noble character could bring to worst of the society and the

nations.

Malaysian also hopes to be responsible and capable in achieve personal well

being. Responsible towards God, race and nation in performing their duties


11/27

with honesty and dedicatedly is what hoped by the government in producing

their citizen. Besides responsible the personal well being is also very

important as it contribute to the betterment of the family, religion and even the

nation.

Other important aspect is to foster the capability of Malaysian in contribution

to the nation. Through proper education and training people can use their

productivity and innovation skill to upgrade their productivities to bring a

higher level of economic development. Here it does not limited to industrial

sector but other as well such as service sector that involves professionals

such as doctors, lawyers and etc.

Lastly the important aspects are harmony and the prosperity of society and

nation. Racial harmony can be achieve through the practice of proper attitude

such as tolerance, cooperation, mutual respect and foster unity among

various races in Malaysia to promote the harmonious and peaceful of the

nation. The harmonious environments will help in the development of the

economy and advancement of all fields. Harmonious environment encourage

investor to invest in our country and also the blooming of our tourism

industry.

5.0 ROLES OF SCHOOL IN REALIZATION THE FPK

School is the main stage in realization of FPK. The school plays an important

role in providing the correct environment, holding different programmes and

activities and lastly the cooperation of the school community in managing their

role in realizing the FPK.

5.1 Roles of School Management in Developing the Intellectual, Physical,

Emotional, Spiritual and Social aspect of Student


12/27

The moment I walked into the school office I could see an organization chart

of the school. An organization chart is a type of diagram that schools the

position of the organization from the highest position to the lower ones.

Through the organization chart we can see the systematic arrangement of the

school management.The school community comprise of the school head,

senior assistants, panel heads, class teacher and the students. Each of this

position especially plays a very important role as a part of FPK. It is through

the correct management of the various positions in the school only then the

intellectual, physical, emotional, spiritual and social (JERIS) aspects of

students can be fully developed.

5.1.1 School Head

School Head can be considered as the leader of the school that deals with

almost everything regarding the school. Based on the school head of SK

Sultan Aziz said that the main roles of the school head can be simplified into

four main categories management, curriculum, co curriculum, behavior of

students (Reference: Collaboration). Through the reference gain the roles of

school head is more complex that can made up of account and financial,

office management, academic progress and mastering 3M skill, education

programme, communication with the society, the staff, teachers, building and

others.

How school finance the money provided and where the school gets the

money? This comes under the work of school head in managing the finance

and getting extra SUWA income for new buildings or getting new appliances

or upgrades the school facilities. Usually the school head will announce the

activities used to increase the school income. Some of the common activitiesare the Jogathon collection and Canteen Day. Jogathon Day is an event

where all students are asked to make collection and later compete in a

healthy running race. Asking for collection is one of the ways to help in

developing social skill among students. Meanwhile the running activity can

promote healthy lifestyle among student instead of studying all the time.


13/27

Second role is office management. Filing can be said one of the most

important function where every document related to school or activities done

and issued documents are filed in every possible method using file or

computers folder. Documents such as the students record or students

overall achievement is required in investigate the students development.

Through the record then only we can formulate the ideal method in helping out

students that encounter problem such as mastering 3M or having behavioral

problem. This is special needed when the student is a transfer student from

other school. Based on the data recorded by the past school we can see

student have any problem.

Under the role of academic progress and mastering 3M skill it is the school

head to make every effort in ensure all students master the 3M skill which

represented the reading, writing and counting skill. These three basic skills

are essential for student to going on further in study. Hence school head

should have a special group of teachers in dealing with this kind of problem to

make sure all students master the 3M skill.

Next role of school head in education programme is to plan and determine the

time table of the teachers. This is to ensure the curriculum of education can

run smoothly under various teachers for all types of subject. Precise planning

is required to ensure all the classes have the time need as suggested by the

Ministry of Education for different object. With the practice of having time table

for teachers and students it actually helps the student to be systematic and

doing thing according to the time.

The foundation of the teacher and parent association is one of the good

examples that show the communication of the school community with the

students parents. Through this association parents could actually voice out

their problem regarding their childrens progress in school and also give

positive comment towards the betterment. Knowing all the problem is


14/27

essential in helping to develop the students in all the aspect mentioned in the

FPK. At the same time the teacher can tell the parents what actually

happened in the school. The person who is in charge in handling the

association is the school head.

Teachers role is to teach and the school heads role is to match the teachers

job or subject according to his or her interest and abilities. Only then the

teacher can work more comfortable as they are motivated by their interest and

felt confidence with the abilities. Interest and abilities are the great weapon in

impart knowledge and also other good values among student. An incapable

teacher that lack of interest will only teaches for the sake of teaching without

caring if the student gets the knowledge. If this happen the student not onlyunable to learn and developed into the dreamed citizen mention in FPK but

also might follows the teachers example in doing their work. As teacher is one

of the important role model.

Regarding with the building the school head is required to ensure the safety of

the school and also the upgrade the school facilities for the greater use of the

student such as the library. In the school which I observed they had various

gallery such as Science, Math and etc around the schools garden. All this

facilities is needed to enhance the students development in JERIS. For an

example is the library. Library means book. Within the library is books filled in

shelf this environment can help in promoting students interest in reading.

Reference book in the library can help students academically in their

assignment.

5.1.2 Senior Assistance

As time passes by the Ministry of Education also tries to improve the qualities

of the students by promoting position of senior assistance. Based on the FPK

the number of the position of the senior assistance can be divided into three

where each has different areas to focus on. There are the main senior


15/27

assistance, student welfare senior assistance and the co curriculum senior

assistance.

5.1.2.1 Main Senior Assistance (PK1)

Main senior assistances (PK1) function is to help in management, improve

the teachers teaching and students learning performance. He or she is in

charge of the school in the absence of the school head. Activities hold by the

Education department such as the recent anti drug programme is under the

senior assistance care. The recent anti drug campaign is a programme where

beginning of the 5 minutes class the class teacher will tell something about

drug. This is a whole year programme that serves as awareness to students

towards the danger of drug as the amount of students involving with drugincrease. The country need citizen that are free from all this drug as drug

causes great impact on the country as well as obstruct development of the

nation. This is also a programme that helps the students spiritual

development as many religions forbid taking addictive or intoxicate item.

Other than that main senior assistance also has to decide the proper amount

of work should be given to the teachers. Balance work or burden should be

given to the teacher to make sure that some teachers are too burden and tired

while some are too free. But it also comes under the ability of the teachers

and other conditions such as health.

Lastly the main senior assistance also has to take care of the cleanliness and

the security of the school. Clean environment is important as it is way to

prevent disease. As the work of the senior assistance is to make sure the stuff

are cleaning the school compound. Furthermore beautification of the schoolcompound is needed. Planning of methods to increase the cleanliness and

beautification is needed. Methods that are used are having competition

between classes where classes are given certain area in the school to clean.

The class with the most clean and beautiful compound is considered winner.

In this activity it can actually inculcate the values of cleanliness and love the


16/27

nature. Besides that beautification of compound also needs creativity that

helps in developing the cognitive or intellectual aspects of the students. The

security mention doesnt limit to the security guard that are posted on the main

gate of the school but also the security of the during fire breakout. The student

is given the exercise on methods to prevent fire and what to do during fire

breakout. This does not only serve the purpose as the knowledge but also a

type of discipline where through out the exercise the student must obey the

teachers.

5.1.2.2 Student Welfare Senior Assistance (PK HEM)

On the other hand student welfare senior assistance (PK HEM) is in takingcare of the students discipline, welfare and also diffuses the moral values into

the student. Matter on the rules and regulations are her work. Dealing with

students discipline record and enforce the rules and regulation of the school

is her duty. This is to make sure the students are discipline and practice good

moral value in their life. She also takes charge of the students health and

welfare. She has to making sure the activities such as annual doctor check up

or dentist check up is functioning as normal. Students health is important as it

affect their daily life and also their growth and development. There is the

activity as annual dentist and doctor to ensure the student is healthy. So does

activity such as the milk project and food programme held in school.

5.1.2.3 Co Curriculum Senior Assistance (PK Koko)

The co curriculum senior assistance deals with the students attendance and

involvement in many co curriculum activities. Most of the co curriculum seniorassistance work involves with managing the co curriculum activities such as

determine the clubs or uniform bodys teacher advisor. From here we can see

how the Ministry of Education tries to develop more balanced individuals.

Through club activities the student can get into club that they are interested

that such as science, cooking, and art. If the student chooses art club he or


17/27

she could further developed their art potential through the activities hold in the

club. It is a time where the students interact and learn to socialize. Sport clubs

help in refining the students skill in the type of sport they play and also

developed their physical. During the age of 6 to 18 this is the time where

children grow rapidly with the help of sport they will grow healthier.

5.1.3 Panel Head

Below is the duty of panel head:

1. The duty of panel head is responsible in the curriculum and

management of the respectable area.

2. Panel head is also in charge with the planning and management

curriculum with the school head.

3. Helping the school head in testing out the effectiveness of the

teaching and learning of his or her area.

4. Organizing programme to increase the academic progress and

behavior of student.

5. Helping the school head regarding his or her area of expertise.

6. Teach for minimum 18 hours a week.

Based on the duty of the panel head we can say he is responsible in

developing the students intellectual more as his duty emphasis more on the

intellectual side from organizes programme, testing out the effectiveness of

teaching and learning process. His job is to promote the academic progress of

the student so he is in charge of coming out with various method to make sure

the student gets better academic results.

5.1. 4Class Teacher

Class teacher functions as the parent to the student than managing the overall

activities or progress of the school like the school head or the head panel.

Below is a table on the basic of what a class teacher does.


18/27

No Duty Description

1 Managing the class

and organization

Form the class organization, deciding the

time table and duty roster and inform anydamage of electrical appliances in the

class.

2 Students attendance Make sure the information needed on the

attendance book is filled. Mark the

attendance book daily.

3 Filling the document The living certificate, the academic record,

001 card is filled by the teachers.

4

Learning, health and

discipline problem

Encourage and motivate student in

learning. Be concern of the students

problem. Report to the teacher in charge

based on the problem.

According to the information acquired the class teacher actually helps in

detecting the problems of the class and also deals with the welfare of the

students. Class teachers concern and dedication is important as it makes thestudents feel that they are cared by the teacher which makes them more

comfortable in telling their problems. Encouragement and motivation are

needed in not on intellectual aspects of the student but others aspects but it

depends on how the class teacher does it.

5.2 Infrastructure

Infrastructure is the stock of basic facilities and capital equipmentneeded for the functioning of a country or area. Simple based on the definition

we know that infrastructure is required for the school to function efficiently.

Basic school facilities can be distribute into learning area, hall canteen, field,

resource centre, science laboratories. The latest school infrastructure is

computer laboratories.


19/27

Learning Area can be referred as the place to study which usually is the

classroom. Classroom is the main learning area as the student spends almost

all their time in the school in class. Being an important place for study the

environment must be conducive so that the teaching and learning process

would be more effective. Around the classroom there would be display of

many materials such as time table, duty roster, organization chart and the

schools rules and regulations. In addition there are various material based on

the subject that the students take. This material is important for reinforcement

or remembrance purposes. Cleanliness and beautification is important to keep

the environment conducive and comfortable.

Hall is a place where gathering of the school community can be held. It

is a place of information transfer and communication. One of the usual

function hold in the hall in the assembly. During assembly the teacher in

charge will update the others with the schools cleanliness report, the latest

event that took place. Sometimes the teacher will give some talk on different

topic. In the beginning of the assembly with singing the nation anthem

followed by the state anthem and other important song. Singing all this song is

a part or way to inculcate the love for the country. At the end of the assembly

the school head will give some motivational talk and advises to the student. All

these talk actually helps the student emotionally where they actually felt

motivated and able to do thing better. In the school where I attended for SBE

the school head even introduce some words to broaden the student

vocabulary.

Canteen is a place to cure hunger. Students and teachers even the stuffalso comes here to have their meal. When it comes to food cleanliness and

the personal hygiene of the canteen worker means a lot. Other than that is the

food they serve. Serving the proper balance meal with affordable price is

essential. Proper balance meal is required for the body the growth of health

body. Unhealthy junk food should be forbidden in the canteen as the students


20/27

eat what that is sold. So to avoid health problem as health life is one of the

basic for the development of physical aspect.

Vast green field is something that student is happy about. Field signifies

games and sports to the students. Many activities can be held in the field but

the main usage of field in the school is for physical education and sports

mostly. Physical education is one of the subjects that emphasis more towards

physical development. Physical education is the time where student is

taught play different kind of sports, learning to be cooperate in team games,

be discipline as to follow the rules for each game or sport and so much more.

Sports are a very healthy activity that can keep away a lot of unnecessary

disease such as obese.

Resource centre is a place filled with many different types of resources

books, documentation, cd and etc. All this material is important as they give

information and knowledge to others. But the most used resource for the

student is the book. Though most books borrowed by the students are fiction

and the second highest borrowed is the reference book. Fiction let the student

be entertained at the same time learning the structure of story writing and

gaining some new words in between. Meanwhile reference book provided

information on their studies. Reference book is a type of material that helps in

the academic of students.

A Science laboratory is place for conducting scientific research. Through

experimenting the student is able to explore all they want and gaining truth

and facts. This is one of the methods of discovery learning. Experimenting is a

very good way to develop the intellectual, cognitive, social, spiritually and alsoemotion of the student. Students need to experiment based on their

hypothesis. Through the experiment they also need to verify the variables in

an experiment and master various scientific process skills. Through the

experiment they gain knowledge which is under the intellectual development.

Usually experimenting involves grouping hence social skill and emotional skill


21/27

can be developed. During the time of falling experiment the strong will to

continue can also be categorized as emotional skill. In the times where there

is problem with the data provided we must be truthful and avoid cheating.

Besides the facilities provided there are many small particular in the

school such as school mural and motivational phrases. School mural is one of

the methods to beautify the school with useful material. One of the murals that

I saw in the school I attended for SBE has a mural on the solar system where

they named all the planet and wrote some characteristic of the planet. Mural is

one of the pictorial ways to transfer knowledge just like what people say a

picture worth a thousand words. Besides that most of the mural are drawn by

student themselves, this can show their creativity and ideas.

Moreover there are also some motivational phrases hanging

around the school compound. Some of the phrases sound like this

where there is a will there is a way. Motivational phrases are important

and helpful especially when some people feel down and need

encouragement and motivation. Motivation works as a starter that

makes students feel that they can do a lot of things if they really try.

This included in many things such as academic improvement or other

problems the student encounters.

improvement in giving the aim and direct guidelines in their noble route in

that lives in harmony , believes in god and loyal to the king and the country

and other great aims as mention in FPK. As a future teacher is our great

voyage in doing our best in understanding the FPK and applies it in our

teaching in the future.

Through the School Based Experience done in the school I think there is

some recommendation that help in pushing schools for greater improvement.

1.

Based on the problem of obese among student there should be more action

takes by the school in helping the government in solving this problem. My

suggestion :

Having a healthy programme for those with unhealthy lifestyle such as excessconsumption, lack of exercise and etc.

Suggest proper diet to the parents and alert the parents regarding the danger

of obese. The dangers of obese include the slow physical and cognitive

development and also lurk various disease such as heart attack and

arteriosclerosis.

The canteen should prepare more healthy food. Food with excess lipid such

as nasi lemak and curry noodle should be lessened. Junk food should be

forbidden. It is a much better suggestion rather than banning the fast food

consumption as the ratio of student in eating in canteen is higher.

2. As emphasized in FPK in developing the spiritual development in school but

there seem to be lack of effort in developing this aspect compared to

intellectual aspects. The current effort is:

Having moral lesson as a part of curriculum.

Certain school has society such as Youth Christian Society and BuddhistSociety.

My suggestion is:

There should be some day where gathering held in between student and

teachers of similar religion to talk and discuss their understanding of their


27/27
