PPSMI: A different reality in classrooms

THE Education Ministry deserves to be commended for being resolute in its decision to abolish the Teaching of Science and Mathematics in English policy (PPSMI). Considering that there has been criticism and opposition against it, the decision to revert to teaching the two subjects in Bahasa Malaysia must require a great deal of political will.

Many reasons have been submitted in favour of PPSMI. In essence, these centre on the importance of English as an international language, the language of science and technology, and language of leadership and advancement.

Most Malaysians would agree that English is indeed an important language. However, to relate the teaching of Science and Mathematics, especially at the primary level, to success 20 years down the road is misleading. This is because only a small percentage of these children will reach tertiary education. I would like to shift to pedagogical reasoning instead.

Pedagogical reasons against PPSMI appear to have been margi-nalised. First, when a teacher teaches Science and Mathematics, or any subject, the goal should be that children learn and understand or acquire the scientific and mathematical concepts. At the primary level, especially, should children be taught concepts using a language foreign to them?

Clearly, teaching and learning are more effective using the language of the learner. In this context, it is worth noting that former Unesco director-general Dr Irina Bokova cited years of research showing that children who began their education in their mother tongue made a better start, and continued to perform better, than those who started with a new language ("Better to teach in mother tongues, says Unesco" -- NST, May 13).

Second, teachers know that they have to make their teaching interesting; they have to motivate their pupils to learn by making their lessons stimulating.

But look at the Maths and Science teachers. A parent complained that she went to meet her daughter's Science teacher when her daughter's performance declined. However, the teacher could barely speak English. So, how could he teach in English?

Your columnist, Chok Suat Ling, too, cited a Science teacher at a smart school in Kuala Lumpur who assigned her students to "list out the verity way how plants protect themselves" (NST, April 21).

A qualitative research, involving classroom observation, would furnish us with information on the high percentage of Maths and Science teachers rendered incompetent because they are asked to teach in a language unfamiliar to them.

They are not to be blamed, for they had studied the subjects throughout school and the tertiary level in Bahasa Malaysia.

PPSMI was introduced in 2003 based on the erroneous idea that it would lead to a better command of English.

There has been no research to indicate that Maths and Science, confined mostly to numerals and symbols, will help in language learning. We should look at the reality in the classroom.

Sistem Analisis Peperiksaan Sekolah (SAPS)

Sistem SAPS ini merupakan sistem yang agak baru diperkenalkan. SAPS atau Sistem Analisis Peperiksaan Sekolah dirangka bagi menjalankan fungsi sebagai pusat pengumpul, penyimpan dan menganalisis data peperiksaaan dalaman setiap sekolah di seluruh Malaysia.

Sistem ini berfungsi hanya di atas talian ( online ) yang boleh dicapai oleh pihak tertentu seperti KPM, JPN, PPD dan sekolah. Penyediaan pusat data yang berpusat ini memberi kemudahan dan boleh digunakan oleh pihak KPM, JPN dan PPD untuk membuat perbandingan, analisis ataupun mengenalpasti kelemahan yang ada untuk diperbaiki.

Sistem ini juga direka bagi mengurangkan masalah dalam meminta data peperiksaan sekolah. SAPS ini juga boleh dijadikan penunjuk aras kepada pihak pengurusan melalui analisis TOV ( Take Of Value ), ETR ( Expected Target Result ) dan AR ( Actual Result ).

Guru kelas memainkan peranan dengan mengakses sisitem untuk memasukkan dan mengemaskini maklumat kelas, maklumat mata pelajaran dan data pelajar bagi kelas yang diselianya. Guru mata pelajaran pula akan memasukkan markah-markah peperiksaan bagi setiap pelajar mengikut maklumat yang disediakan sebelumnya oleh guru kelas. Proses memasukan data nama pelajar oleh guru kelas hanya satu kali setahun ( sekira tiada perubahan ) Manakala guru matapelajaran memasukkan markah setiap kali selepas peperiksaan, diakhirnya guru kelas atau yang berkaitan boleh mendapatkan salinan analisis peperiksaan yang telah dijalankan.

Sistem ini telah diubahsuai baru-baru ini dengan penambahan "semaka ibubapa". SEMAKAN IBUPAPA. SAPS telah menyediakan satu lagi kemudahan yang membolehkan pihak ibubapa melihat prestasi pencapaian anak mereka. Sila klik menu pilihan di sebelah kiri dan masukkan ID pelajar (seperti di SMM), pilih jenis peperiksaan dan jenis laporan.

PETALING JAYA: There will be fewer school days next year with students enjoying an additional nine holidays.

There are 203 school days next year compared with the 210 days this year.

They will also get a longer break with 87 days of holiday (78 days this year).

Next year's school calendar, as shown on the Education Ministry's website, showed that students will go back to school on Jan 4 in all states except in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu, where classes start a day earlier (see chart).

School heads said they can apply for four days of cuti peristiwa (occasional holiday), which need not be replaced.

They said schools can also apply for cuti ganti (replacement holiday), which is subject to approval by the respective state education department.

The year-end break will start on Nov 10 next year, except in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu where the holidays start a day earlier.
