Asssalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera.

Alhamdulillah, tahun 2009 telah dilalui oleh Institut Penyelidikan Pendidikan Tinggi Negara (IPPTN) dengan jayanya. IPPTN ingin merakamkan setinggi-tinggi penghargaan kepada Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi dan Universiti Sains Malaysia terhadap sokongan dan kepercayaan kedua-duanya kepada IPPTN dalam melaksanakan tanggungjawabnya untuk memajukan institusi pengajian tinggi di Malaysia. Terima kasih juga diucapkan kepada universiti lain yang telah membenarkan Felo Penyelidik Bersekutu menyumbang tenaga dalam menghasilkan kerja-kerja IPPTN.

Pada tahun ini, IPPTN memperbanyak aktiviti penyelidikan, penerbitan dan pengantarabangsaan. IPPTN telah membantu Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi dalam menjayakan Forum Naib Canselor bersempena dengan Persidangan Menteri-menteri Pelajaran Komanwel yang ke-17. Kemuncak aktiviti 2009 ialah IPPTN sekali lagi diberi amanah untuk membantu Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi dan Universiti Sains Malaysia menganjurkan Forum Pendidikan Tinggi Sejagat (GHEF) 2009. GHEF2009 telah berjaya mempertemukan 133 peserta dan 48 ahli panel dari 32 buah negara untuk membincangkan pelbagai isu yang berkaitan dengan pendidikan tinggi sejagat dalam konteks negara Selatan-Selatan.

Saya bagi pihak IPPTN mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada Profesor Nancy Jane Knight dari University of Toronto, Kanada kerana kesudian beliau menjadi profesor kunjungan dan berkongsi ilmu dan pengalaman dalam membantu beberapa projek penyelidikan IPPTN.

Dengan berakhirnya tahun 2009, IPPTN kini berada dalam tahun terakhir Fasa 2: Pelan Pemantapan IPPTN (2006-2010) yang memberi fokus kepada bidang pengantarabangsaan. Sebelum ini, IPPTN telah diberi nafas baru dalam Fasa 1: Rejuvenate IPPTN (2002-2005). Pada tahun 2010, IPPTN perlu merangka hala tuju dan strategi untuk fasa seterusnya.

Saya berharap IPPTN akan terus menterjemahkan isu-isu berkaitan dasar pengajian tinggi dan menyumbangkan idea untuk meningkatkan kualiti pendidikan tinggi di Malaysia dan wilayah serantau.

Asssalamualaikum

I am very glad that the National Higher Education Research Institute (IPPTN) completed the year 2009 with much success. IPPTN would like to express its utmost gratitude to the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) and Universiti Sains Malaysia for their support and having faith in IPPTN to fulfill the responsibility of developing higher education in Malaysia. Further, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the other universities in Malaysia for permitting the Associate Research Fellows to contribute to the vision and mission of IPPTN towards the broader goal of strengthening higher education in Malaysia and beyond.

This year, conference, research, publication and internationalisation activities increased significantly. IPPTN assisted the MoHE in successfully holding the Vice-Chancellors’ Forum in conjunction with the 17th Commonwealth Ministers of Education Conference. Further, IPPTN rendered its services to assist the MoHE and Universiti Sains Malaysia in organising the Global Higher Education Forum 2009 (GHEF2009). GHEF2009 was successful in bringing together 133 participants and 48 panel members from across 32 countries to deliberate on various contemporary higher education issues in the south-south context.

On behalf of IPPTN, I would like to thank Professor Nancy Jane Knight from the University of Toronto, Canada for accepting the invitation to be a visiting professor and for sharing her knowledge and experience in a number of research projects.

As the year 2009 comes to an end, IPPTN will step into the last year of the 2nd phase, the IPPTN Stabilisation Plan (2006–2010), which focuses on the area of internationalisation. Prior to that, IPPTN was revitalised after completing the 1st phase: Rejuvenate IPPTN (2002–2005). In the year 2010, IPPTN has to determine the direction and strategy for the subsequent phase of its growth and development.

It is my earnest hope that IPPTN will continue to conceptualise, lead and deliberate on key issues related to higher education policy in its efforts to enhance the quality of higher education in Malaysia and the region.

Introduction

Pengenalan

The National Higher Education Research Institute (IPPTN) was established by the National Council for Higher Education and it was officially launched on 21 August 2007. IPPTN acts as the think tank of the Department of Higher Education. It conducts relevant studies to help develop and advance public and private higher education institutions to achieve excellence in the fields of teaching, publication and research. Although located in Universiti Sains Malaysia, IPPTN has been successful in involving other researchers and higher education institutions in its research initiatives and projects.

IPPTN was established to strengthen and expand research efforts in all aspects of higher education research encompassing education policy, curriculum, administration, human resources and manpower, and infrastructure as well as the sharing of the said efforts. In addition, IPPTN is active in internationalisation activities and often invited by institutions or research centres and higher education management from abroad to be involved in comparative research.

It is hoped that the findings of IPPTN may be of benefit to all parties and stakeholders in Malaysia to enable sound planning, implementation and evaluation.

Institut Penyelidikan Pendidikan Tinggi Negara (IPPTN) telah ditubuhkan oleh Majlis Pendidikan Tinggi Negara dan dilancarkan secara rasmi pada 21 Ogos 2007. IPPTN menjalankan kajian yang relevan bagi membantu usaha membangunkan dan memajukan institusi pengajian tinggi awam (IPTA) dan institusi pengajian tinggi swasta (IPTS) ke arah kecemerlangan dalam bidang pengajaran, penerbitan dan penyelidikan. Walaupun berlokasi di Universiti Sains Malaysia, IPPTN telah berjaya melibatkan penyelidik dan institusi pengajian tinggi lain dalam penyelidikan yang dijalankan.

Tujuan IPPTN ditubuhkan adalah untuk memperkukuh dan memperluas usaha penyelidikan dalam semua aspek penyelidikan tinggi yang meliputi dasar pendidikan, kurikulum, pentadbiran, sumber manusia dan guna tenaga, infrastruktur dan perkongsiannya. Selain itu, IPPTN turut terlibat secara aktif dalam aktiviti pengantarabangsaan. IPPTN juga sering dijemput oleh institusi atau pusat penyelidikan dan pengurusan pendidikan tinggi di luar negara untuk terlibat sama dalam penyelidikan yang berfokuskan kajian perbandingan.

Diharapkan dapatan penyelidikan IPPTN dapat dimanfaatkan oleh pihak yang bertanggungjawab di Malaysia untuk menyediakan perancangan yang lebih mantap. Dalam hal ini, secara langsung IPPTN bertindak sebagai kumpulan pemikir kepada Jabatan Pengajian Tinggi.

Profesor Aurilla ialah profesor kunjungan di Bangkok University, Thailand. Beliau mempunyai pengalaman yang luas dalam pengajaran dan penyelidikan teknologi maklumat yang berfokus kepada pembangunan sistem ilmu pengetahuan. Pembentangan beliau berkisar kepada Pengurusan Ilmu Pengetahuan atau Knowledge Management (KM) yang dipercayai dapat mempengaruhi inovasi dalam sesebuah organisasi. Secara am, institusi penyelidikan ialah pengeluar ilmu pengetahuan baru. Oleh itu, institusi penyelidikanlah yang harus menyumbangkan tenaga secara aktif terhadap pembangunan wilayah. Beliau memberi contoh model dari negara Eropah dan Thailand dalam pengurusan ilmu pengetahuan yang dikaitkan dengan keupayaan inovasi. Beliau juga percaya bahawa sekiranya ilmu baru dihasilkan, satu sistem pengurusan ilmu pengetahuan yang amat efektif wajib diwujudkan untuk memastikan ilmu tersebut dialirkan dengan lancar dan disebarkan dengan adil kepada masyarakat.

Seminar tersebut dihadiri oleh ahli akademik dan pelajar pascasiswazah Universiti Sains Malaysia. Satu sesi soal jawab dibuka kepada semua hadirin selepas pembentangan Profesor Aurilla.

A seminar on Innovation and Universities: The Pillars for Regional Development was held at the Conference Room, EUREKA Complex, USAINS on 4 February 2009. Professor Morshidi Sirat, Director of the National Higher Education Research Institute (IPPTN), gave a welcoming speech to introduce the speaker of the seminar, Professor Aurilla Aurelie Bechina Arntzen. Professor Aurilla is a visiting professor at Bangkok University, Thailand. She has wide experience in teaching and research in information technology focusing on the development of knowledge systems. Her presentation focused on Knowledge Management (KM) which is believed to foster innovation in organisations.

Satu sesi pembentangan telah diadakan untuk Profesor Hitendra Pillay semasa beliau berkunjung ke Institut Penyelidikan Pendidikan Tinggi Negara (IPPTN). Objektif beliau adalah untuk mewujudkan jaringan bagi projek penyelidikan usaha sama pada masa hadapan. Sesi tersebut diadakan pada 13 April 2009 di Bilik Persidangan, Kompleks EUREKA, USAINS.

Profesor Hitendra ialah profesor penyelidik di Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Australia. Beliau pernah menjadi konsultan projek dan staf di negara-negara membangun di bawah Bank Dunia, Asian Development Bank (ADB) dan AusAid. Bidang pengkhususan beliau adalah berkaitan dengan kognitif dan pembelajaran manusia atau dikenali sebagai sistem pembelajaran. Tujuan beliau berkunjung ke IPPTN adalah untuk melihat kemungkinan mewujudkan penyelidikan bersama dalam bidang jaminan kualiti pengajian tinggi. Beliau berharap dapat berkolaborasi dengan penyelidik Malaysia sekurang-kurangnya dalam satu projek yang melibatkan pengongsian dana antara kerajaan kedua-dua negara. Selain itu, beliau juga ingin mewujudkan jaringan dengan mereka yang berminat dalam pengajian tinggi ASEAN. Memandangkan sistem penarafan universiti semakin mendapat perhatian, Profesor Hitendra juga berhasrat untuk mengetahui sajauh mana Malaysia dan Australia boleh memberi sumbangan terhadap jaminan kualiti pengajian tinggi. Kini, beliau terlibat dalam projek penarafan liga ASEAN dan bersama-sama rakan sekerjanya dari QUT, sedang menjalankan kajian tentang isu kualiti pengajian tinggi di universiti ASEAN.

A presentation session was organised for Professor Hitendra Pillay during his visit to the National Higher Education Research Institute (IPPTN) with the objective of establishing networks for collaborative research projects in the future. The session was held on 13 April 2010 at the Conference Room, EUREKA Complex, USAINS.

Professor Hitendra is a research professor at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane, Australia. He has worked in many developing countries as both project and staff consultant for the World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB) and AusAid. His main area of interest is related to human cognition and learning or the learning systems. The main concern of his visit was to explore the possibilities for joint Australian/Malaysian research on quality assurance in higher education. He was hoping to collaborate with Malaysian researchers to develop at least a project which would involve the governments of both Malaysia and Australia in terms of shared funding. Apart from that, he intended to establish networks with people who are interested in ASEAN higher education specifically. With university ranking systems gaining more attention, Professor Hitendra also wanted to look at the extent to which both Malaysia and Australia could contribute to the quality assurance of higher education. Professor Hitendra is currently working on an ASEAN league table project and is also invloved in a QUT study on higher education quality issues in ASEAN universities.

Pada tahun 2009, Jabatan Pengajian Tinggi, Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi bersama-sama Institut Penyelidikan Pendidikan Tinggi Negara (IPPTN), Universiti Sains Malaysia telah merancang Siri Dialog Strategik Malaysia dengan negara-negara Kemboja, Lao PDR, Myanmar dan Vietnam (CLMV). Siri dialog ini bertujuan untuk mengetengahkan Malaysia sebagai watak utama yang menentukan agenda pendidikan tinggi di rantau Asia Tenggara.

Objektif utama bengkel dialog strategik adalah untuk menarik minat universiti tempatan di negara-negara CLMV supaya menghantar pekerja dan pelajar mereka ke universiti-universiti di Malaysia. Selain itu, Malaysia ingin menonjolkan kepakaran dan kesanggupan untuk bekerjasama dengan negara-negara CLMV dalam aktiviti penyelidikan dan pertukaran staf serta pelajar.

Siri dialog yang pertama diadakan di Phnom Penh, Kemboja pada 25 hingga 26 Februari 2009. Bengkel ini dianjurkan oleh Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi dan IPPTN dengan kerjasama Cambodian Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports dan sektor pendidikan tinggi Kemboja. Bengkel dirasmikan oleh Her Excellency Dr. Phoeurng Sackona, Honourable Secretary of State, Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Kingdom of Cambodia dan ditutup secara rasmi oleh Y. Bhg. Dato’ Profesor Mohd. Yusof Kasim, Timbalan Ketua Pengarah (IPTA), Jabatan Pengajian Tinggi. Perbincangan antara kedua-dua negara menunjukkan bahawa kedua-dua negara berazam untuk menjadikan jaringan kerjasama ini berjaya. Satu projek telah dikenal pasti oleh Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi dalam usaha membantu Kemboja, iaitu melalui kerjasama penyelidikan pertanian yang meliputi topik tentang tenaga pakar, staf dan pertukaran pelajar. Kerajaan Malaysia akan menyediakan sokongan kewangan dan teknologi.

In 2009, the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) together with the National Higher Education Research Institute (IPPTN), Universiti Sains Malaysia planned the Series of Strategic Dialogues between Malaysia and the countries of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV). This series of dialogues are aimed to promote Malaysia as the main player in determining the agenda of higher education in the Southeast Asian region.

The main objective of the strategic dialogue workshops is to attract the local universities in the countries of CLMV to send their workers and students to the Malaysian universities. Other than that, Malaysia intends to share its expertise and sustain collaborative projects with the CLMV partners in research, and staff and student exchange activities.

The first dialogue in the Malaysia-CLMV Dialogue Series was held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia on 25–26 February 2009. The workshop was organised by the MoHE and IPPTN in collaboration with the Cambodian Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, and the higher education sector of Cambodia. The workshop was launched by Her Excellency Dr. Phoeurng Sackona, Honourable Secretary of State, Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Kingdom of Cambodia, and officially closed by Y.Bhg. Dato’ Professor Mohd. Yusof Kasim, Deputy Director General (Public Governance), Department of Higher Education. The discussions between the two countries exhibited their joint determination in making the said collaboration a working success. A project was then initiated by the MoHE in assisting Cambodia through a joint agricultural research which covers topics on expert manpower, and staff and student exchange. The government of Malaysia would provide financial and technological support.

Siri Dialog Strategik antara Malaysia dengan Negara-Negara Kemboja, Lao PDR, Myanmar dan Vietnam (CLMV)

Series of Strategic Dialogues between Malaysia and the Countries of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV)

Siri dialog kedua diadakan di Hanoi, Vietnam pada 23 hingga 24 Jun 2009. Bengkel dianjurkan bersama oleh Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi dan IPPTN dengan kerjasama Ministry of Education and Training, Vietnam dan institusi pengajian tinggi Vietnam. Antara isu yang dibincangkan ialah mengurangkan kadar kemiskinan, keperluan latihan, penyelidikan dalam pelbagai bidang dan perkongsian maklumat melalui pangkalan data. Dapatan bengkel menunjukkan bahawa terdapat jurang maklumat antara Vietnam dengan Malaysia dan dalam hal ini pelajar Vietnam mempunyai pengetahuan yang terhad tentang sistem pendidikan tinggi di Malaysia.

Maka, perkongsian maklumat antara Vietnam dengan Malaysia perlu dipertingkatkan demi menggalakkan lebih banyak usaha kerjasama. Tumpuan Vietnam dan Malaysia dalam aspek pertukaran pengetahuan dan kepakaran ialah kepada tema “Kesihatan untuk Semua” dan “Pendidikan untuk Semua”.

The second dialogue was in Hanoi, Vietnam, held on 23–24 June 2009. The workshop was jointly organised by the MoHE and IPPTN in concert with Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training, and higher education institution. Among the issues discussed were the efforts to reduce the level of poverty, increase capacity building and training of manpower, identify research needs in various fields and build collaborative information sharing through a database. The workshop indicated a vast gap in information availability between Vietnam and Malaysia where Vietnamese students have very limited knowledge on the higher education system in Malaysia.

Thus, information sharing between Vietnam and Malaysia should be enhanced to promote more collaboration efforts. The focus of Vietnam and Malaysia on the aspect of exchanging knowledge and expertise is the core of the theme, Health for All and Education for All.

Siri dialog ketiga diadakan di Vientiane, Lao PDR pada 10 hingga 11 Ogos 2009. Bengkel dianjurkan bersama oleh Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi dan IPPTN dengan kerjasama Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Lao PDR dan institusi pengajian tinggi Lao PDR. Majlis dirasmikan oleh Her Excellency Madam Sengdeuane Lachanthaboun, Vice-Minister of Education, Lao PDR dan ditutup secara rasmi oleh Dr. Phonephet Boupha, Ketua Pengarah, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Lao PDR. Perbincangan antara dua negara menekankan aspek pendidikan dalam bidang tertentu, seperti perubatan, sains kesihatan, kejuruteraan, pelancongan, keusahawanan, kepimpinan, e-pembelajaran dan teknologi maklumat. Kerajaan Malaysia bersedia untuk menawarkan peluang latihan dan kursus jangka pendek kepada pekerja Lao PDR.

Bengkel dialog strategik membincangkan lima perkara berikut:• Higher Education: Present and Future Directions; • Partnering and Alliances in the Academic Sector; • Partnering in Quality Assurance; • Linkages, Staff and Student Exchanges; dan• Partnering and Alliances in the Research Sector.

Hanya Vietnam sahaja yang membincangkan topik Private Higher Education: Learning and Collaborating for Synergy.

Kemboja, Lao PDR dan Vietnam amat menitikberatkan kemahiran berbahasa Inggeris dalam kalangan kakitangan dan pelajar mereka. Oleh itu, negara-negara tersebut berharap kerajaan Malaysia boleh menyediakan kursus intensif Bahasa Inggeris untuk pekerja dan pelajar negara tersebut sebelum mereka menjalani latihan di Malaysia.

Ketiga-tiga bengkel telah diadakan dengan jayanya dan melibatkan penyertaan yang menggalakkan dari setiap negara. Hasil pembentangan negara-negara CLMV, termasuk Malaysia akan didokumentasikan dalam bentuk buku yang bakal diterbitkan oleh IPPTN kelak.

The third event in the series of dialogues was held in Vientiane, Lao PDR on 10–11 August 2009. The workshop was a joint effort between the MoHE and IPPTN in collaboration with Lao PDR’s Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, and higher education institution. The event was launched by Her Excellency Madam Sengdeuane Lachanthaboun, Vice-Minister of Education, Lao PDR and officially closed by Dr. Phonephet Boupha, Director-General, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Lao PDR. Discussions between the two countries highlighted the needs of Lao PDR in specific fields such as medicine, the health sciences, engineering, tourism, entrepreneurship, leadership, e-learning and information technology.

Sehubungan dengan perkara ini, pengkaji menekankan peranan institusi pengajian tinggi dalam membawa perubahan terhadap susunan sosioekonomi dan budaya di wilayah bandar Pulau Pinang. Untuk mencapai objektif ketiga, ramai ahli akademik dan penyelidik yang terbabit dalam latihan penilaian kendiri. Dalam proses menyediakan laporan, penulis-penulis ini melaksanakan perundingan tetap dengan pelbagai pemegang taruhan yang berkepentingan di Pulau Pinang untuk memperoleh idea dan data yang berkenaan. Diakui bahawa kebanyakan penulis ini ialah pakar dalam bidang sendiri, namun begitu kali ini merupakan kali pertama mereka menganalisis dan meneliti aktiviti mereka sendiri yang memberi impak terhadap masyarakat tempatan.

In the last 40 years, Universiti Sains Malaysia, as one of the leading higher learning institutions in the Penang city-region, has played major roles in reshaping Penang’s socio-economic, demographic and cultural fabric. This self-evaluation exercise was undertaken with three objectives in mind; namely, first, to provide a very comprehensive background on the Penang region/city-region, emphasising its socio-economic and cultural assets, and the development and changes of these assets over time. The second objective was to determine the extent to which these changes have been the result of the interaction between various forces in the region, in particular, its higher education institutions. In this regard, it was pertinent to trace the changes in this region arising from the dynamics and interplay between internal and external forces, and the interactions between various actors and stakeholders. In this respect, much care was taken to emphasise the role of higher education institutions in bringing about marked changes in the socio-economic and cultural fabric of the Penang region. To fulfill the third objective, many academics and researchers were involved in this self-evaluation exercise. In the process of preparing their reports, these writers were in constant consultation with various stakeholders in Penang, soliciting for ideas and data. Admittedly, many of these writers are experts in their own specialisation but this was the first time they were analysing and reflecting on their activities in terms of the impact on the local community.

Kajian Pempelbagaian Pendidikan Pascamenengah untuk Meluaskan Akses dan Meningkatkan Keterterapannya di Malaysia

A Study on the Diversification of Post-Secondary Education to Expand Access and Improve Relevance in Malaysia


Profesor Morshidi Sirat (Universiti Sains Malaysia)1. Profesor Madya Dr. Norzaini Azman (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia2. Profesor Madya Dr. Koo Yew Lie (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) 3. Profesor Madya Dr. Sarjit Kaur (Universiti Sains Malaysia)4.

Kajian ini memberi tumpuan kepada segmen bukan universiti sektor pendidikan pascamenengah di Malaysia yang merangkumi institusi pengajian tinggi seperti politeknik dan kolej komuniti. Objektif utama kajian ini adalah untuk menyemak penyusunan institusi dalam menerima peruntukan pendidikan pascamenengah, menganalisis pertumbuhan dan pengembangan pendidikannya dan mengkaji struktur pengurusannya di Malaysia. Antara agenda lain kajian adalah untuk menganalisis pola pekerjaan dan pengangguran siswazah serta mekanisme pembiayaan pendidikan pascamenengah di Malaysia.

Keadaan semasa menunjukkan bahawa sektor pendidikan pascamenengah bukan universiti amat rapuh. Oleh hal yang demikian, sektor ini memerlukan sebuah sistem jaminan kualiti yang lebih bersepadu. Persepsi masyarakat umum dan pemegang taruhan yang berpendapat bahawa institusi bukan universiti merupakan alternatif yang lebih rendah jika dibandingkan dengan universiti juga perlu diubah. Bagi sektor pendidikan pascamenengah universiti pula, dicadangkan supaya sektor tersebut bertumpu kepada belanjawan yang berasaskan prestasi dan berdaya saing.

Kajian ini jelas menunjukkan bahawa terdapat kekurangan dalam penyelarasan dan usaha sinergistik antara penyedia pendidikan pascamenengah. Hal ini membawa kepada cadangan untuk mewujudkan satu badan kebangsaan yang dapat memandu dan menyelaraskan perancangan pendidikan teknikal dan vokasional. Pendekatan rakan kongsi yang memperlihatkan kos latihan dan pendidikan dikongsi antara sektor pendidikan pascamenengah awam dan swasta turut ditegaskan.

This study focused primarily on the non-university segment of the post-secondary education (PSE) sector in Malaysia which includes polytechnics and community colleges. The main objectives of this project were to examine the institutional arrangements for the provision of PSE in Malaysia, analyse the growth and expansion of the said education and review its management structure. Analysing the employment and unemployment pattern of PSE graduates as well as the mechanisms in place to finance PSE in Malaysia were also among the agenda of the study.

It was found that the current order of the non-university PSE sector is very fragmented, and thus, a more unified quality assurance system is needed. There is also a need to change public and stakeholder perception that the non-university institution of learning is an inferior alternative to the university. As for the university PSE sector, it was proposed that the said sector should move towards performance and competitive budgeting.

This study also clearly indicated that there is a lack of coordination and synergistic efforts between PSE providers. This led to one of the main recommendations of the study, and that is to establish a national body to steer and coordinate the planning of technical and vocational education. A partnership approach to sharing the cost of training and education between the public and private PSE sector was another recommendation of the study.

Kajian Kebolehpasaran Siswazah: Malaysia A Study on the Employability of Graduates: Malaysia


Profesor Morshidi Sirat (Universiti Sains Malaysia)1. Profesor Madya Dr. Chan Lean Heng (Universiti Sains Malaysia)2. Profesor Madya Dr. Munir Shuib (Universiti Sains Malaysia)3. Profesor Madya Dr. Shukran Abdul Rahman (Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia)4.

Peningkatan pengangguran dalam kalangan siswazah tempatan di Malaysia berlaku disebabkan siswazah yang kurang berkualiti. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menghuraikan isu kebolehpasaran siswazah di Malaysia seperti yang diungkapkan oleh pelbagai pemegang taruhan. Isu kebolehpasaran siswazah selalu dibahaskan dalam konteks pasaran pekerjaan dari perspektif pihak majikan. Walau bagaimanapun, kajian ini telah membentangkan sebuah rangka kerja yang menekankan keperluan masyarakat. Dalam hal ini, dihujahkan bahawa semua pemegang taruhan, iaitu pihak industri/majikan, institusi pengajian tinggi, organisasi bukan kerajaan dan kerajaan, mesti bersatu dalam menyediakan siswazah demi kepentingan masyarakat.

Kajian ini menegaskan bahawa kebolehanpasaran siswazah bukan sahaja tanggungjawab sektor pengajian tinggi, malah tanggungjawab seluruh sistem pendidikan, termasuklah akauntabiliti pada peringkat prasekolah, sekolah rendah dan sekolah menengah.

Kesimpulannya, amalan pekerjaan perlu dibaharui melangkaui orientasi keuntungan untuk memperoleh kekayaan. Perspektif ini harus disepadukan dengan aktiviti teras universiti, iaitu pengajaran dan pembelajaran dan penyelidikan dan perkhidmatan. Selain itu, Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi dan institusi pengajian tinggi telah dicadangkan supaya mengkaji semula hasil pembelajaran kurikulum supaya hasil ini dapat menanamkan atribut pekerjaan yang kukuh untuk pembentukan sebuah ekonomi yang berorientasikan sosial dan masyarakat berpengetahuan. Kedua-dua entiti tersebut perlu memberi pertimbangan untuk memasukkan mode pembelajaran integratif kekal, seperti pembelajaran perkhidmatan ke dalam program pendidikan mereka.

It has often been suggested that the rising unemployment among local graduates in Malaysia is primarily due to their lack of quality. As such, this study aimed to explicate graduate employability issues in Malaysia in terms of the stakeholders involved. These issues are almost always deliberated in the context of the employment market. However, this paper presented a framework where the needs of society (not merely the employer) were emphasised. In this regard, it was argued that all stakeholders — industry/employers, higher education institutions, non-governmental organisations and the government — must act in unison in preparing graduates for the good of society.

This study also made clear that the graduateness of a graduate is not merely the responsibility of the higher education sector, but graduateness has to be seen in relation to the whole education system including the pre-school, primary and secondary level as well.

It was concluded that the practice of employment has to be reformed beyond profit orientation per se to embrace wealth creation. This perspective has to be integrated into the core activities of the university: teaching and learning, research and service. It was recommended that the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) and higher education institutions review the learning outcomes of their curricula to embody the inculcation of employability attributes for a socially oriented economy and knowledge society. The two entities should consider incorporating lasting modes of integrative learning such as service learning into their programmes.

Tujuan kajian adalah untuk menentukan satu set kriteria yang akan dijadikan sebagai garis panduan atau rangka kerja dalam bidang pendidikan guru berkualiti. Kriteria ini akan menunjukkan ciri-ciri yang harus ada pada seseorang guru yang berkualiti. Kajian ini akan bertumpu kepada aplikasi praktikal program latihan guru yang sedang dilaksanakan.

Kajian ini dilaksanakan untuk mendapatkan maklum balas dan persepsi daripada kalangan pentadbir pendidikan guru, pentadbir perkhidmatan guru, guru, pelajar dan ibu bapa terhadap kualiti guru di Malaysia.

Kajian ini melibatkan usaha sama penyelidik dari beberapa universiti di Malaysia, seperti Universiti Malaya, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia dan Universiti Utara Malaysia. Mereka yang terlibat dalam kajian ini merupakan penyelidik dan ahli akademik daripada disiplin yang berbeza dan pelbagai bidang kepakaran.

Kaedah yang digunakan ialah kaedah kuantitatif dan kualititatif. Responden memberikan maklum balas secara bertulis untuk mengemukakan pandangan dan cadangan mereka tentang cara meningkatkan kualiti guru di Malaysia. Soalan terbuka dikemukakan untuk mengukuhkan dapatan yang diperoleh daripada soal selidik.

The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of Malaysia in producing quality human capital with a focus on producing quality teachers who are believed to be the main actors in education. The aim of this study is to determine a set of criteria that would act as guidelines or provide a generic framework for the training of quality teachers. This study emphasises on the practical application of the ongoing teacher training programmes.

The survey attempts to obtain feedback and perceptions from teacher education administrators, education service administrators, teachers, students and parents on the teacher quality in Malaysia. It is a collaborative effort by researchers from several Malaysian universities including University of Malaya, Universiti Sains Malaysia, International Islamic University Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia and Universiti Utara Malaysia. Those involved in this study are researchers and academics from different disciplines and diverse areas of expertise. The methodology used is quantitative and qualitative in nature. Respondents provide feedback in written format to express their opinions and give suggestions on ways to improve teacher quality in Malaysia. The open-ended questions are meant to further strengthen the findings as opposed to only using data from the survey questionnaire.

Monograf 13/2009: Kurikulum Universiti dan Keperluan Pemerolehan Pekerjaan

Monograpgh 13/2009: University Curriculum and Employability Needs

Apabila jumlah pengangguran dalam kalangan siswazah bertambah, ada pihak yang menyalahkan siswazah sendiri dan ada juga yang menyalahkan pihak universiti yang dikatakan tidak menyediakan kurikulum yang bersesuaian dengan kehendak majikan. Perancang pembangunan sumber manusia perlu cekap dalam menangani masalah pengangguran yang semakin serius, khususnya dalam kalangan golongan yang berpendidikan tinggi. Siswazah yang dilahirkan pada era digital ini perlu bersikap positif, terutama terhadap pekerjaan dan alam pekerjaan yang akan dilalui nanti. Kelulusan akademik sahaja tidak menjamin mereka memperoleh pekerjaan yang diingini.

Laporan ini memberi maklumat tentang hasil perbincangan yang mendalam bagi semua aspek, tindakan, kemungkinan, cabaran serta peluang yang timbul sehingga terbentuknya kurikulum universiti yang lebih berkesan untuk menghasilkan siswazah yang dapat memenuhi segala keperluan pemerolehan pekerjaan. Langkah dan cadangan untuk mencapai senario ini juga dibentangkan.

Editor Siri: Morshidi SiratEditor: Ambigapathy Pandian

With increase in the total number of unemployed graduates, there are parties who blame the graduates themselves and yet others who blame the universities for not developing a curriculum that meets employment needs. The human resource development planner must be efficient in solving unemployment problems which are becoming serious, especially among the highly educated group. Graduates of the digital age should have a positive attitude, especially towards their jobs and future job environments. Academic qualifications alone will not guarantee them the jobs that they desire.

This report details the findings of discussions pertaining to all aspects, initiatives, possibilities, challenges as well as opportunities for the formulation of a more effective university curriculum to produce graduates who are able to meet the relevant employability criteria. Measures and proposals for the attainment of this goal are also presented.

Student Loan Schemes: Experiences of New Zealand, Australia, India and Thailand and Way Forward for Malaysia

Student Loan Schemes: Experiences of New Zealand, Australia, India and Thailand and Way Forward for Malaysia

Pengembangan dan pendemokrasian pendidikan tinggi telah meningkatkan dengan pesat kemasukan pelajar ke institusi pengajian tinggi awam (IPTA) dan institusi pengajian tinggi swasta (IPTS). Pengurangan perbelanjaan awam dalam pendidikan dan peningkatan pantas kadar enrolmen pelajar ke institusi pengajian tinggi telah memberi tekanan kewangan yang besar kepada kerajaan, terutama di negara-negara yang kurang maju. Di kebanyakan negara, pengembangan pendidikan tinggi memburukkan krisis kewangan yang sedia ada dan secara umum terdapat tekanan untuk memulihkan sistem kewangan pendidikan tinggi. Dalam perkembangan pendidikan tinggi, pihak kerajaan tidak seharusnya diharapkan sebagai sumber kewangan utama yang membiayai sektor berkenaan secara menyeluruh. Isu utamanya ialah siapakah yang harus membayar kos sumber pendidikan tinggi, bagaimana pendidikan dibiayai dan bagaimana peruntukan dana diuruskan? Banyak pendapat yang mengatakan bahawa pelajar harus berkongsi kos pendidikan kerana mereka akan memperoleh pekerjaan yang baik dan pendapatan yang tinggi. Buku ini memaparkan pengalaman lima buah negara, iaitu New Zealand, Australia, India, Thailand dan Malaysia dalam menangani isu-isu berkaitan skim pinjaman pelajar untuk membiayai pendidikan tinggi. Pembandingan dan pembezaan pengalaman negara yang telah melaksanakan skim pinjaman pelajar dengan negara yang baharu bergelut dengan isu ini amat menarik. Penulis menghuraikan tentang kebaikan dan keburukan pinjaman luar jangka pendapatan dengan bentuk pinjaman lain yang digunakan untuk membiayai pendidikan tinggi. Bab terakhir buku ini membincangkan masa hadapan pinjaman pelajar di Malaysia berdasarkan pengalaman Australia, India, Thailand dan New Zealand. Hala tuju dan pelan tindakan ditunjukkan bagi membaiki skim pinjaman pelajar semasa di Malaysia.

Editor: Aida Suraya Md. Yunus, Rosni Bakar dan Shukran Abdul Rahman

Massification and democratisation of higher education have allowed tremendous increase in access for deserving students to both public and private higher education institutions. The decrease in public expenditure on education together with the rapid expansion of student enrolment in higher education institutions have somewhat created greater financial pressures on many governments especially in the less developed countries. In many countries, the expansion of higher education adds further to the existing financial crisis, and there are pressures to reform the financing system of higher education in general. In view of the development of higher education, the government must not be depended upon as the main source of financing of the sector as a whole. The central issues are who should pay the cost of resources that is required for higher education, how should education be financed and how should allocation of funds be managed? Many have argued that since university graduates can expect better job opportunities and higher lifetime earnings, students should share the cost of their education. This book brings together the experiences of five countries, namely, New Zealand, Australia, India, Thailand and Malaysia, in dealing with issues on the student loan scheme to fund higher education. It is interesting to compare and contrast the experiences of countries which have been implementing student loan schemes for quite some time with others that have only recently begun to grapple with these issues. The advantages and disadvantages of the income contingent loan as opposed to other types of loans in financing higher education are elaborated upon by the authors. The final chapter in this book discusses the way forward for Malaysia with respect to the student loan based on the experiences of Australia, India, Thailand and New Zealand. Directions and action plans are indicated with a view towards reworking the current student loan scheme in Malaysia.
