| Summary: | This study is a discussion on Syed Shaykh Ahmad Alhady's concept of knowledge and his thoughts on the transformation of education of the Malays. The purpose of the study is to investigate his concept of knowledge that is translated into educational reform. This study also seeks to answer the following questions: firstly, whether the model of education as promoted by Syed Shaykh was appropriate for the Malays of his time; secondly, whether the transformation of education improved the Malays; and finally, the relevance of Syed Shaykh's concept on knowledge and educational reform to our present time. The research work adopts a qualitative method approach. The study uses descriptive, inductive and deductive, as well as, analytical methods to examine the data and information available in old periodicals, newspapers, microfilms, personal letters (surat-surat persendirian), and several other relevant published sources to provide answers to the research questions. The principal conclusion of the study is that the implementation of the concept of knowledge at any level of education needs sound and qualified staff, a strong and consistent curriculum, and an on-going support from the community in order to be successful. This study undoubtedly bears some significance, i.e. Syed Shaykh's model of a modern religious school is in fact deeply rooted in our system of religious education today and the issues raised by him over the negative attitude of Malays are still relevant for the present. |
