IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Citizenship Education • Since the birth of the Malaysian nation in 1957, there have been the continuing definitions of nationhood, sovereignty, citizenship, national character and national identity. While there are contentious debates in the political arena regarding citizenship issues in the multiracial state, the school system has faithfully been teaching some form of “citizenship education.” IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Citizenship Curriculum Metamorphosis • Over the years through successive reviews, the curriculum of citizenship education underwent curriculum metamorphosis. Whatever, the curriculum revisions and structures, the curriculum still somehow maintained the fundamental objectives of citizenship education. Civics, History, Moral Studies, Islamic Education, Malaysian Studies, Co-curricular activities and even Language learning, Values education, and Thinking Skills have all been the promoters and repertoires of the contents of citizenship education. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The continuing challenge of citizenship education in Malaysia • To foster a sense of multiracial, multireligious, multilingual nationhood and enlightened citizenry where all peoples are equal before the law, irrespective of origins. • Rukunegara is the basis of the Malaysian Citizenship Education IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 National Ideology- the Rukunegara • • • • OUR NATION, MALAYSIA, being dedicated To achieving a greater unity of all her peoples; To maintaining a democratic way of life; To creating a just society in which the wealth of the nation shall be equitably shared; • To ensuring a liberal approach to her rich and diverse cultural traditions, • To building a progressive society which shall be oriented to modern science and technology; We, her peoples, pledge our united efforts to attain these ends guided by these principles: • Belief in God • Loyalty to King and Country • Upholding the Constitution • Rule of Law and • Good Behaviours and Morality. (Ministry of Information, 1971) IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 From National to Global Citizenship • The new challenge of citizenship education is the challenge for Malaysians to take on the duties, responsibilities, and obligations of being global citizens while being nationally patriotic. • With the new realities and agenda, new literacies-multi literacies are required to be achieved IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The Quest for Authenticity • The rhetoric and practices of citizenship education. • The initiatives for citizenship developments in the wider society and in the education system. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Building overarching principles of Citizenship Literacies • Principles, ideas, programmes and institutions which promote citizenship education among school children, university students, adult learners and the public at large. • Current initiatives which indicate the trends and future directions of citizenship education and the making of knowledge and virtues based citizenry. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The notion of social contract Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (2004a): • “…any society and especially diverse multicultural societies will benefit from a social contract. It provides a framework for political, social and economic intercourse that is agreed upon by all communities. It reduces misunderstanding and conflicts of interest, and allows people to focus upon improving their lives in peace and harmony. The failure to put place viable social contracts is at the root of many conflicts afflicting nation states around the world….Malaysia’s experience is that a strategy of inclusion, participation and respect fro the legitimate rights of all ethic, religious and cultural groups, and just recognition of the special position due to the indigenous peoples is the best formula to mange its diversity.” IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The Objectives of History Teaching 1973 • 1. To understand national identity from the history of the nation. • 2. To foster the development of belongingness towards the Malaysian society and nation as one united unit. • 3.

To analyze, conclude and evaluate historical facts and the outside wolf in rational ways. (Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia 2002b) IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 New Integrated Secondary School Curriculum • The History Curriculum integrates three related threads:The overall notion of Patriotism. The Contents of History, and, The Structure of the Discipline of History. The history syllabus contains concepts such as the family community, the local community, the affiliative community, the school community, the state community, the regional community and the world community. Key citizenship concepts in the curriculum which involve political and historical literacy simultaneously, include ideas of citizen's national and international rights, duties, obligations, entitlements, privileges. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Key citizenship concepts Justice and fairness, rights and responsibilities, laws and rules and regulations, and charters, power and authority and ruling elites and interest and pressure groups, democracy and community, conflict and cooperation, dialogue, discourse and negotiation, diversity and independence, freedom and constraints. The Patriotic Component emphasizes the development of the citizen who is proud to be a Malaysian, who is loyal to the country, who has the spirit of belongingness, who is disciplined, industrious and economically and culturally productive. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Of Historical Emphathy Historical empathy means the attainment of thinking which enables the understanding of continuity and change as to why People did what they did and why present circumstances and realities are as they are today. This understanding of Historical Empathy is supposed to be from multiple perspectives. The student who looks at history from the perspective of historical Empathy is actually building an open pattern of thought which is tolerant and mature. History education is regarded as the “tool” which will achieve citizens who are more responsible. (Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia 2002) IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The generic skills The skills identified for students to master in the discipline of history encompass: • Communication skills; technology utilization skills; planning and organizing skills; • Teamwork and group work skills; problem solving skills; information selection, • management and analysis skills; skills for using mathematical ideas and techniques; • and culture understanding skills. (Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia 2002b, p.8) IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The two categories of thinking skills and citizenship education. Critical thinking and Creative thinking skills for decision-making and problem solving: • Critical thinking skills include the skills of categorization, comparison and contrast, • collection and classification, prioritization, analysis, identification of trends, • evaluation and generalization and conclusions. Creative thinking skills include ideas • generation, inference making, searching and making relationships and synthesis, • predicting and projections, hypothesis making, synthesizing, sequencing, generalizing, • analogizing, making mental pictures, creating and innovating. (Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia 2002b, pp. 9-16) IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 concepts of rights –civil, political and social “Civil rights entail equality before the law, the due process of justice, and the right to conclude contracts as equals-that is, the rule of law in its widest sense. Political rights include the right to vote and to express one’s views. Social rightsin part embrace civil and political rights-they liberate people from insecurity, and include the right to an education and the right not to fall below a certain level of income. (See, Baglin Jones and Neville Jones, 1992.) IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The objectives of the TITAS course [Islamic and Asian Civilization] • 1] To foster true understanding and the attitude of mutual respect among Malaysian Citizens from different religions, origins, races and cultures. • 2] To reinforce the Malaysian philosophy and way of life through consensus and Negotiation (musyuarah and ijmak). • 3] To foster Malaysian identity as a plural society which practices high tolerance? (Tolerance here takes on the meaning of understanding). (See, Pro-Forma Kursus UM-PT01-PK03-BR003-S00 Kod Kursus GXEX1403 Tamadun Islam dan Tamadun Asia Kertas 1 &2.) IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The importance of Patriotism and Citizenship Education. The spirit of Patriotism is the essence of national strength and the citizens’ happiness. To foster the feeling/spirit of patriotism is one aspect of comprehensive and integrated education. As Malaysian citizens, every school administrator, teacher and student do come together to take the serious attitude regarding loyalty and undivided love for the nation. The ceremonies of raising the Malaysian Flag, singing the national anthem, and taking the pledge should be ideally conducted during daily or weekly assemblies. If the ceremony cannot be conducted in weekly or daily group assemblies, the ceremony should be conducted simultaneously in the respective classrooms according to the discretion of the school. Schools which have a good public address system, the facilities should be used to ensure that the ceremony takes place simultaneously for the whole school. (Surat Pekeliling Ikhtisas Bil.6/1994: Usaha Menanam Semangat Patriotisma Di Kalangan Pelajar dan Senaman Ringkas dalam Bilik Darjah.) IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Institute for the Study of History and Patriotism • To study the characteristics of patriotism which need to be fostered in the heart and mind of every Malaysian? • To become the Advisory and advocative body to the government, to the private sector agencies and volunteer organizations regarding the patterns and characteristics of patriotism these bodies practice and the various types of activities they should do in order to reinforce the spirit of patriotism. • To study aspects and values of history as well as world and national civilization in order to ensure the continuing maturity of the patriotic spirit among Malaysians, particularly among the younger generation.

IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The National Integrity Plan • First, to effectively reduce corruption, abuse and misuse of power • Second, to improve competence in the delivery system of The Public Services and to overcome the barriers of bureaucracy. • Third. To improve corporate governance and business ethics. • Fourth, to strengthen the family unit. • Fifth, to improve the quality of life and the happiness of the people. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Rethinking the Malaysian Future “By the year 2020, Malaysia can be a united nation, with a confident Malaysian society, infused by strong moral and ethical values, living in a society that is democratic, liberal and tolerant, caring, economically just and equitable, progressive and prosperous, and in full possession of an economy that is competitive, dynamic, robust and resilient.” IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The National Social Policy The Principles identified as guidance for the overall, holistic development of the individual, encompassing physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual and social are as follows: • Responsibility towards the self, the family and other people. • Committed towards religious teaching • Conscious and sensitive towards the environment • To foster peace and harmony in life. • Patriotic spirit • Respect for basic human rights, and, • Practice democratic principles in life.

IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The significance of values in the study of citizenship • • • • • • • • • • Define values and recognize their importance in the day to day life of the individual Distinguish between personal and social values and realize the need for people in a society to share basic social values. Realize that the school deals with values because they facilitate or inhibit the learning of content or skills. Realize that values are instrumental in the resolution of issues, a basic concern in contemporary social studies. List (values) in a logical sequence and explain the steps in the process of resolving issues. recognize the similarity between the process of decision making and the process of resolving issues Become familiar with the techniques of value clarification and value assessment. design plans for teaching the process of resolving issues for young children Accept the best way to teach lasting social values is not through direct traditional methods or indoctrination, but through values assessment and the application of the rational process. Become more aware of the basic values of United States Society (in this case of Malaysian society) expressed or implicit in the declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights (The Constitution, the Rukunegara, Vision 2020, the philosophy of Education in the Malaysian context). IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 On the PROFESSIONS • "Teaching is the profession upon which all professions rest…‘ • Linda –Darling –Hammond, Stanford University Professor of the • Charles L Du Commun Chair of Education. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The Human and the Culture- Specific • The story of educational reforms and teacher education changes seem to be played out in similar ways across different societies but with distinct cultural variations IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Coherence and Consistency • At the heart of educational reform is school reform and curriculum reform which are intricately linked to reforms in teacher education. The curriculum, pedagogy and the assessment systems, when well aligned are likely to achieve the articulated goals of education, but when inconsistent and not well aligned are likely to create IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Formulating and Raising the Question • Whether it is relatively easier to reform the school curriculum and school practices or it is easier to reform teacher education practices. Both the school and teacher education subsystems are embedded in the cultural, social, economic and political systems of the various societies. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Education and Employment • To make Europe the most competitive and dynamic Knowledgebased economy in the world, capable of Sustainable economic growth, with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion… New Strategic Goal for Europe by 2010, set by the European Heads of State at the Lisbon Summit in March 2000. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 ARTICULATING REFORM IDEALS: Core of National Reforms. “Thinking schools, learning nation." Singapore "Smart Schools and the creation of a knowledge and virtue based society." Malaysia “No Child Left Behind” America IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 United States of Of knowledge evolution in teacher education • There are really no detailed studies of knowledge evolution in teacher education in Malaysia. • The lack of passion for research and writing has been the subject of criticism of the state of knowledge in teacher education as well as in academia. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The Quest for Seminal Works in Education • While hundreds of papers are presented in hundreds of national and international conferences and seminars, there seem to be few seminal works on education. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 A Question Of ProfessionalAcademic Identity • there are often the apparent disconnect between curriculum changes in schools and curriculum changes in teacher education. …changes in the economic sector occur so fast that the education sector sometimes do not keep track…the educational bureaucracy grew in size with a large number of leaders in compartmentalized domains, coordination became problematic. To some extent both teachers colleges and university teachers tended to align themselves more to the colleagues in the world of academia and to get peer recognition from colleagues in academia more than to get recognition from colleagues in schools. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The universal technical and administrative and faith and ideologybased concerns • The teacher in Muslim society is not a mere wage- earner or a professional worker, but a committed member. His excellence does not depend only on his qualification or his Knowledge; it depends upon what type of person he is in terms of his faith and belief and in terms of his conduct and character. His role transcends that of an instructor in-so-far as he becomes the mentor, teacher and guide of the younger generation. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Honing Educational Leadership • The aspect of the contesting ideology pertaining to teacher education has been a neglected aspect of teacher education curriculum which had traditionally focused on the technical and professional aspects of competence acquisition and not any in-depth debates on contesting ideologies. However, teachers in the Islamic Teachers Colleges and the International Islamic University do have their own faith based debates on the ideologies of teacher development vis-vis secular models of Teacher Education IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Criticisms of Education Schools • • • • • • • • • • Critics blame education schools for intractable social problems they did not create and cannot solve, while education schools do business as usual, refusing to acknowledge the real problems that confront them. P. 6 The findings of the report were very disappointing. Collectively, Educational administration programs are the weakest of all programs at the nation's education schools p.13 The majority of programs range from inadequate to appalling, even at some of the country's leading universities. P.23 (Levine 2006). IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 On Tacit Pedagogical Expertise • The worlds of training, for business, industry and the public services have vast repertoires of tacit and explicit knowledge and skills on employment and relevant training. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The education sector as one of the flagships of the Multimedia Super Corridor • As the nation was engaged in the national Information Technology Agenda, the clarion call in school was that the "teacher is no longer a sage on stage, but, as a guide by the side." As teachers in schools especially older ones have to master IT skills and become IT literate, in the same way, lecturers in teachers college have to quickly master the new skills in order to function relevantly in the context of the Digital Age in education. What is clear is that teacher Education institutions and teacher educators are expected to be the leaders of educational knowledge leadership if they want to remain relevant and contribute effectively towards the professionalization of the profession IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Continuities and Discontinuities in the Education Knowledge Corpus. • The emergence of the idea of the Smart School came in the wake of the initiatives of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) together with the establishment of Committees, for instance, the National Information Technology Committee (NITC), the establishments of Institutions, such as the Multimedia Development Corporation; the development of Polices, Frameworks, Blueprints like the K Economy Master Plan and Action Plans such as the National IT agenda IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 2010- Generating Educational Excellence through Collaborative Planning The Quality Agenda underpins the thrust of the Master Plan which focuses on these following areas: • • • • • To build a Malaysian nation To develop human capital To Make national Schools Attractive To narrow the Educational divides To raise the prestige and status of the Teaching Profession • To Quantum Leap Excellence of Educational institution. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The 9th Malaysia Plan and the National Mission The National Mission presents Five thrusts as follows: • 1st Thrust: To raise the Malaysian economy up the value chain. • 2nd Thrust. To raise national knowledge and innovation capacity and to foster the development of "first class mentality." • 3rd To address the recurring socio-economic gaps and imbalance sin constructive and productive ways. • 4th To raise the level and sustainability of the Quality of Life. • 5th To strengthen institutional capacity building and implementation capacity. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The Millennium Goals (United Nations 2003) • Goal 1: Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger • Goal 2; Achieve Universal Primary Education • Goal 3: Promote Gender Equality and Empower women • Goal 4: Reduce Child Mortality • Goal 5: Improve Maternal Health • Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS., Malaria and Other diseases. • Goal 7: Ensure Environmental Sustainability. • Goal 8: Develop a Global Partnership for development. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Benchmarks for national and educational development for ASEAN societies, nations and governments. • While the contributions of SEAMEO are notable, these are not sufficiently integrated in ways that the Europeans have moved forward. • ASEAN educators, for instance, have not explored the common curriculum of Peace Education, Environmental Education and ASEAN Multi-Cultural Education as subjects in the school curriculum or as subjects in the Teacher Education Curriculum. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 From "the divide and rule period" to the era of “power at the finger tips” • The two-pronged goal of the elimination of poverty and the restructuring of society for all. • several initiatives were taken which include the following: the Textbook Scheme; Educational Television, Residential Schools, as well as hostels for day schools, rural hostels, the food aid scheme, health services for school children and scholarships and bursaries. The New Primary School Curriculum was implemented in 1982 while the New Secondary School Curriculum was implemented in 1988.

The teaching Profession cannot be regarded as a career for just anyone. Only those with quality, competencies, authority, qualifications, interest, will and committed as teachers should be admitted into the profession. (PIPP p.111). IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Surface Structure and Deep Structure Changes in Teacher Education Reforms • Changes, reforms and transformations can be qualitative or quantitative and at different degrees and levels of deep structure or surface structure change (Bruner, 1996). Rebuilding a school from wooden structure to brick and cement structure is really not educational reform. However, changing the medium of instruction or an examination system is deep structure change and more so when it is the change in the contents and structure of the knowledge corpus and its reorganizations IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Conservatism and Guided Enlightenment • Few educators have created the opportunities to explore education from multiple perspectives at the level of connoisseurship for such subjects have not been subjects of directions for continuous professional growth. • in the conservative and ideologically cautious cultural traditions, there are few intellectual spaces for education critiques in the traditions of teaching as a subversive activity, the pedagogy of the oppressed, deschooling society, the bell curve wars and the ideologies of the curriculum. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Formulation, Policy Making, Teacher Education and Citizenship Education • While there are relatively transparent procedures in the selection of pre service teachers, the selection criteria for teacher educators to be the intellectual, pedagogical and knowledge leaders responsible in influencing the next generation of teachers have not been clear. The efforts to make sense of educational happenings are acts of knowledge leadership. Making Sense of national Concerns and making the connections with Teacher Education would involve understanding such diverse concerns as Maintenance Management and strong philosophy and policy studies background, understanding the challenges of national accountability and integrity, Human Rights Watch, Human Resources development and Interfaith dialogues. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Areas of terra incognita, hiatus and gaps in Teacher Education • The study of teacher trade unionism and professional associations and educational philanthropy. These knowledge areas are actually aspects of in the politics of education. • This neglect of making the connections is because of the compartmentalization and sub specializations of subjects and also because it is assumed that that with such emphases strong and good character would be automatically shaped and cultivated. Understanding of Character Education is limited to becoming a good person and not related to the professional or intellectual character or civic character of teachers or of students and the shaping of the national character of the citizenry. It is clear that the exciting script and drama of educational Knowledge management has not been explored in imaginative ways, sometimes in dramatic ways as in the domain of Teacher Thinking and the (wo) man in the Principals Office and the minds and souls of children. IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The Craftsmanship and Artistry of Teacher Education • The more esoteric but high order conceptions of understanding education and Art and Science of Teaching and Learning have therefore not received due attention. These so called higher levels are actually not just about the character of teachers and their competencies, but about, for instance, mindfulness and intellectual character (Rusk, 1965; Langer, 1989; Lipman, 1991; Ritchhart 2002). One aspect of the higher level is, for instance, the mindful and profound understanding of Alignment of Curriculum, Pedagogy and Instruction and Assessment (Formative and Summative) and synthesizing state of the knowledge of education at the present time (Freiberg, 1999; Ratey, 2002; fuller, 2002). IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 The teaching-learning ideas and practices of indigenous educators • Every subject has its own unique structure and some different possibilities to create and set induction and maintain the interest of learners (Gross, 1991; DePorter, and Hernacki, 1992;'Sullivan, 1999; Mapes, 2003). Also, every subject has great possibilities to enable students to generate the important questions within the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains, thus honing high order conceptual skills the unique possibilities the art and techniques of questioning offer in the pursuit of profound knowledge, systematically. From the scattered ingredients of educational knowledge, the critically reflective and concerned educator can get to work crafting with artistry and meaning and simplicity the lore of educational connoisseurship.

IbrahimABajunid INPUMA11Nov2009 Knowledge Management • Knowledge management is the leveraging of collective wisdom to increase responsiveness and innovation. Three criteria which must be made before information can be considered knowledge, distinguishing information management from knowledge manage are: • Knowledge is connected and exists in collection of multiple experiences sand perspectives. • Knowledge management is a catalyst-knowledge, for the most part exists only in action (Peter Drucker). A Little knowledge that acts is worth more than much knowledge that is idle. Khalil Gibran. • Knowledge is applicable in unencountered novel situations for which no direct precedent exists.
