Assalamualaikum and hi everyone! Long time no post anything here hehe.. I would like to document my e-portfolio right here for the course I am currently enroll for my masters degree which is Research Methodology. Here's I will share the composition that I am doing for a research proposal.
Yea started my Research Proposal...
TRAINEE TEACHERS’ READINESS AND CHALLENGES TOWARDS
TEACHING PRACTICE
Statement
of problem
The current trends and changes
that are taking place in the field of education in this new millennium has, in
one way or another, has called for a re-look into kind of training that should
be provided for would be teachers who
will be taking their place in schools. There is an imperative need to
re-evaluate the teacher training curriculum to see if it met the current needs
and demands of the schools. The urge for the re-evaluation is reflected by the
rising research pertaining to such issues carried out worldwide.
For instance, research conducted
by Way and Holden (2009) in University of Wisconsin-Madison involving 1,200 K12
teachers revealed that these teachers demanded for more training to develop
capacity to teach financial education topics as they believed that financial
management is one of the main issues among their students. Whilst Gnawali
(2010) points out that there is
something wrong in the teacher training curriculum in Nepal as he found that
English teachers who had gone for a teacher training program did not show any
development in the teaching methodology after coming back to the schools. In
Vietnam, Belgian Development Agency (2010) demands for changes in the teacher
training curriculum as they found that traditional practices are still commonly used, requiring
students to learn by rote and hinders their active participation and discouraging independent
thinking and creativity.
All these show that re-evaluating teacher
education in the new millennium is a global issue that needs to be addressed
carefully so that it could benefit both the teachers and the students. Thus
this research was born out of concern to re-evaluate the teacher training
program in Malaysia and suggest necessary reforms that could be taken so that
it would not be left behind in meeting the challenging needs and demands of the
new millennium.
