Description
Summary:<p>This study aims to unravel readiness in implementing Student-Centred Learning (SCL)</p><p>and thus determine insight to develop a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) module. This</p><p>study employed a case study research design which was conducted in three national</p><p>type secondary schools in Hilir Perak district. The participants involved were six</p><p>administrators, fourteen teachers and seven students and they were chosen using the</p><p>purposive sampling technique. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted to</p><p>acquire comprehensive information on the schools awareness, readiness and</p><p>perspective on the issues in SCL implementation. Inductive qualitative data analysis</p><p>was used whereby the data were compared, contrast and interpreted. Findings suggested</p><p>that there were three major themes had emerged which were; awareness about SCL,</p><p>readiness to adopt SCL and issues and challenges in implementing SCL. Subsequently,</p><p>these findings had provided four main insights for PBL teaching and learning in</p><p>Malaysian secondary schools which were; i) implementing PBL and developing PBL</p><p>module should not be in an accelerating manner but introduced carefully and gradually,</p><p>ii) difficulty of problem scenario in a PBL classroom need to be increased towards the</p><p>late stage of implementation, iii) PBL guide and support for both teachers and students</p><p>are crucial along the stage of implementation, and iv) the amount of facilitation</p><p>decreases towards the late stage of implementation. In conclusion, findings showed that</p><p>the studys participants were aware of PBL as an approach to encourage students in</p><p>meaningful learning process. This research implies as a guidance in developing PBL</p><p>module specific for Malaysian context.</p>
