Identifying the Need of Early Learning Children Readiness among Standard one Teachers in School
Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
When children enter year one, teachers will administer the test whether the KIA2M (Early Reading & Writing Intervention Course) which was introduced in 2004 or LINUS (The Literacy and Numeracy Screening) which was introduced by the Ministry of Education (MOE) in 2010. These two tests tend to be more focused on cognitive measurements of children ('Munirah, Nadirah, Fazielah, Hidayat, & Syafiq, 2009; Haslina, 2008). This method is differed from the concept of preschool education and the concept of school education, as it does not help the development of children as a whole which covers six aspects namely the development of communication, language, cognition, spirituality and morals, socioemotion, physical as well as creativity and aesthetics ('Munirah, et al ., 2009; Saayah Abu, Samsuri, & Zaidon, 2006). According to Janus and Offord (2007) the efficiency in all these areas will ensure that children are ready to benefit from learning activities conducted in the school environment. The study was initiated by analyzing the needs and domains of teachers who taught year one at the national school in Besut District. This study uses the Delphi Method entirely because the study related to the readiness of learning for year one children have not yet done in Malaysia. This study is a primary study to develop Early Childhood Preparation Instruments that will be implemented at the end of the year in preschools and will be used in schools by year one teachers for their students' excellence.
