A quality assurance model for training government teachers and educational of...Alexander Decker
This document describes a study that aimed to develop a quality assurance model for training government teachers and educational officers. The researcher conducted the study in 3 phases: 1) reviewing literature and gathering input on training quality issues, 2) creating a proposed quality assurance model and training standards, and 3) testing the model on 5 training projects and gathering feedback.
The results showed that the suitable quality assurance model consists of 7 steps: 1) increasing quality awareness, 2) setting goals and standards, 3) quality monitoring, 4) quality auditing, 5) quality assessment, 6) quality accreditation, and 7) reinforcement. The study also defined quality standards for training consisting of input, process, and output factors divided into sub-
1) The document is a research proposal that examines the role of co-curriculum teachers (CTs) in Malaysian secondary schools and the problems they face in managing extra-curricular activities (ECAs).
2) CTs are responsible for implementing ECA programs but often have additional academic responsibilities like teaching classes that detract from their main role of overseeing ECA quality.
3) The research aims to identify CT tasks, problems faced, and ways to address issues so that CTs can focus solely on ECAs to better develop students' skills like communication and leadership.

This study analyzed TIMSS 2003 data to investigate factors contributing to Singaporean students outperforming Malaysian students in mathematics. It found Singaporean students scored significantly higher overall and in all content areas. Singapore had advantages in resources like computer ownership. Characteristics like gender, parents' education, resources and attitudes significantly impacted achievement in both countries. Teacher characteristics mattered more for Malaysian students. The differences were largely due to Singapore's greater socioeconomic homogeneity and better implementation of strategies, rather than differences in characteristics between the countries.

Instructional Supervision by Principals An Appraisal from the Perspective of ...ijtsrd
This study focused on performance of instructional supervision by principals in selected secondary schools in Boyo Division, North West Region. The objective was to investigate the impact of instructional supervision on teachers' job performance. The sample had 30 respondents as principals and 274 as teachers. Data collected was by the use of two sets of questionnaires one for the principals and one for the teachers. The data collected was analyzed using the SPSS version 22.0 from a close Likert type scale. The findings were presented using frequencies, means, standard deviations, percentages, tables and bar charts. The study established that the supervisory practices used by principals in secondary schools included classroom visitations, provision of research facilities, etc. The study also established that the teachers feel instructional supervisory practices to a certain extent are ineffective, though there are some which bore great fruits such as improvement on their professional competences. This paper recommends that school principals should put emphasis on supervision in order to establish a trend of being in command with what the teachers are doing teachers should be more eager about being supervised by taking the first step in inviting the principals, principals should do refresher courses on school administration. For suggestions, a comparative study could be done on the effectiveness of principals who have had training in school administration prior to their appointment and those who had not.

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was revised in 2001 as the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). However, after over 15 years, there is a need to reform the outdated NCLB. While NCLB helped identify struggling students and increased transparency, its one-size-fits-all standards and overreliance on standardized testing hampered schools' ability to properly assess student learning. Recent bills in Congress aim to reform NCLB by giving states more flexibility while still holding schools accountable. Overall, there is bipartisan support for updating the outdated NCLB to better support students and schools.

Competencies and professional development needs of kindergarten teachersSubmissionResearchpa
The study identified the level of competencies and the extent of professional development needs of kindergarten teachers in the Sultan Kudarat Division, during the school year 2019 - 2020. The study employed a descriptive method. The study involved 54 kindergarten teachers in the division in accomplishing the 12-item self-assessment instrument. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results revealed that kindergarten teachers have a high level of competencies in content knowledge and pedagogy, learning environment and diversity of learners, curriculum and planning, and assessment and reporting. These indicate that they possess almost all of the competencies of efficient teachers. Results further revealed a very high extent of professional needs in content knowledge and pedagogy and the learning environment and diversity of learners, while they had a high extent of professional needs in the remaining domains. Since they reported very high priorities in content knowledge and pedagogy and the learning environment and diversity of learners, these areas would be the main considerations in the crafting of a professional development plan. by Phoebe L.

RESEARCH TITLE:
IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION THROUGH
EFFECTIVE PRACTICE AND LEADERSHIP OF
SCHOOL INSPECTIONS
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND OF RESEARCH
The Educational system in Malaysia is undergoing several major changes and transformation with regards to the emergence of Malaysia Educational
Blueprint 2013-2025 and the Strategic Plan of Education which strive to implement a systematic mechanism to elevate the quality of education in the
country. This is further driven by the recent findings in the TIMSS and PISA study indicating an alarming decline in the area of public examinations and
the performance of educational outputs among Malaysian students. This has created a gap between Malaysia’s educational system with other fast
developing countries in the world.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
In the Malaysian educational system, the school inspectorate known as Jemaah Nazir dan Jaminan Kualiti plays a key role
with regards to the quality control, implementation of policy, monitoring of such implementation and co-ordination of
education. Based on the JNJK Strategic Planning 2010-2015 which emphasized on the aspect of producing balanced
human capital in line with the requirement of the National Key Performance Area (NKRA), it is vital that this organization
play its major role in ensuring quality standard of education in schools. The recent alarming concern of the decline results
among Malaysian students in studies carried out by TIMSS and PISA place further demands to Malaysian school
inspectors to play its vital role in standardizing the quality of education in Malaysia.
Walaupun telah disebarluas dan digunapakai secara intensif,masih belum ada kajian yang mengkaji kefahaman warga pendidik tentang bagaimana
menggunakan SKPM 2010 untuk meningkatkan keberkesanan kaedah penyampaian pengajaran mereka dalam bilik darjah. Penghayatan serta
kefahaman warga pendidik tentang aspek kaedah penyampaian juga menjadi isu utama pihak JNJK semasa pemeriksaan sekolah.
PURPOSE OF STUDY
The purpose of this study is to highlight the
problems faced by Malaysian school
inspectors as quality assurance organizations
and discuss ways of solving the problems
with the view of improving the quality of
education in Malaysia.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
1. To identify the basic
responsibilities of school
inspectors appointed by the
Malaysian Ministry of Education.
2. To examine and investigate the
hindrances to effective
performance of the school
inspectors.
3. To investigate ways on improving
the performance of school
inspectors.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The importance of this study
corresponds with the recent evolution in
the Malaysian educational system and
the alarming findings by TIMSS and PISA
results of survey. Hence, it is crucially
important that Malaysian school
inspectors as the guardian of standard or
custodian of quality in education play
they key role in guarding the standard of
educational quality in the country.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
In the light of determining difficulties faced by Malaysian school
inspectors and identifying ways to improve performance, this study
sought to explore answers to these three questions:
1. What are the basic responsibilities of Malaysian school
inspectors?

CHAPTER ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Education plays a central role in any country’s pursuit of economic growth and national
development. Education in Malaysia is significantly seen as a major contributing determinant that
help mould and build the progress and development of our nation. In today’s global economy, a
nation’s success depends fundamentally on the knowledge, skills and competencies of its people. In
recent years, the Malaysian Educational system has gone under increased public scrutiny and
debate, as parents’ expectations rise and employers voice their concern regarding the system’s
ability to adequately prepare young Malaysians for the challenges of the 21st
century. This
contributes to the need for ambitious actions which are seen both important and urgent.
Today’s educational system in Malaysia has indeed experienced several major transformations in
line with the vast changes in economic, cultural and political aspects. As the Minister of Education
YAB Tan Sri Dato Hj. Muhyidin Mohd Yassin pointed out in Berita Harian dated on 25th
April 2012,
there are nine key areas that will be focused upon in the formulation of Malaysia Education
Blueprint 2013-2025 and the Strategic Plan of Education. One of the prominent key area mentioned
is related with the delivery system in education which is hoped to be able to create an effective and
outstanding ‘check and balance’ mechanism. This is thereby consistent with the objective of
Malaysia Educational Blueprint which aims to develop a system which is able to evaluate the
performance of Malaysia’s current education system with considerations of historical starting points
against international benchmarks as in TIMSS and PISA. All these aspects mentioned therefore
create a critical need for Malaysian learners to receive desirable qualities of education as this
contributes and determines the level of development of the nation in the long run. This is supported
by Agentha (2006) stating that trained and educated human resource constitutes manpower and
personnel that bring about progressive national development.
There has been a public concern over the decline of the standard and quality of the Malaysian
educational system specifically as indicated by the recent study in the area of public examinations
and the performance of education outputs held by TIMS and PISA. Historically, the Malaysian
education system has emphasised the development of strong content knowledge in subjects such as
Science, Mathematics and languages. As stated in the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 this is
however, increasing global recognition that is no longer enough for a student to leave school with
three Rs (Reading, wRiting & aRithmetic). The emphasis is no longer just on the importance of
knowledge, but also on developing high-order thinking skills.
While Malaysian studens’t performance has improved over several decades, those remarkable gains
may be at risk in both relative an absolute terms. Firstly, other systems in other countries are
improving student performance more rapidly, and have found ways to sustain that momentum. The
gap between Malaysia’s system and those others is therefore growing. Secondly, international
assessments suggest that Malaysian student performance is declining in absolute terms.
Over the past two decades, international student assessments, such as the Programme for
International Student Assessment (PISA) and the Trends in International Mathematics and Science
Study (TIMSS), have emerged as a means of directly comparing the quality of educational outcomes
5. 5
across different systems. These assess the variety of cognitive skills such as application and
reasoning.
When Malaysia first participated in TIMSS in 1999, its average student score was higher than the
international average in both Mathematics and Science. By 2011, the last published cycle of results,
the system’s performance had slipped to below the international average in both subjects with a
clear drop in ranking. Critically, 35% and 38% of Malaysia’s students failed to meet the minimum
proficiency level in Mathematics and Science in 2011, a two to fourfold increase from 7% and 13%
respectively in 1999. These students were identified as possessing only limited mastery of basic
mathematical and scientific concepts.
While the most recent TIMSS and PISA results are a cause for concern among educational
stakeholders, there are still numerous factors determining the level of performance in the school
system especially the quality of the input and school process variables. Ochuba (2008) cited that
goals of education can only be achieved with a well -organized school system that will ensure that all
aspects of school life are well articulated and effectively co-ordinated. As stated by Malaysian
Minister of Education earlier, for the education industry to carry out its functions of developing
quality human capital, there is a dire need for checks and balances by regular and effective
supervision and inspection. Wilcox (2000) defined inspection as the process of accessing the quality
and performance of educational institutions, services, programmes and projects by those
(inspectors) who are not directly involve in them and who are specifically appointed to fulfil these
responsibilities. The Malaysian Congregation of Inspectorate under the Ministry of Education is an
organization directly responsible for the inspections and quality control of standards in institutions
below the tertiary level. The Education Act 1996 of sub section 117(a), (b), (c), (d) and sub section
121 outlined the responsibilities to this organization to ensure the existence and maintenance of
teaching and learning standards of schools in Malaysia. In realization of the significance maintaining
standards in education practice nationwide, in 2008 the Malaysian Congregation of Inspectorate or
also commonly known as Jemaah Nazir dan Jaminan Kualiti emerged with a new systematic
mechanism aimed to set a standardized quality descriptors known as Standard Tinggi Kualiti
Pendidikan (STKP). Throughout years of research and studies, the quality descriptors has evolved
and based on the recent Educational Transformation and National Key Result Areas (NKRA), the
standard of quality descriptors is now known as Standard Kualiti Pendidikan Malaysia (SKPM).
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
The school inspectorate has always played a key role in the Malaysian educational system,
particularly as regards quality control, implementation of policy, and monitoring of such
implementation, and the modernization and co-ordination of education. The inspectorate is in fact
the highest educational authority in frequent direct contact with daily reality of schools and classes.
Administratively, school inspectorate answers and reports directly to the Minister of Education and
executive committee within the Ministry of Education. This centralised control permits a certain co-
ordination between inspectors in different forms, services and levels of education.
In spite of the recognition of the potential contributions instructional supervision can make towards
strengthening teacher quality and revitalising education, a literature research reveals that little has
been done to investigate empirically the extent to which instructional supervisory responsibilities
are being carried out.
6. 6
Conversely, various studies have been conducted with regards to the issues of school inspections
and teachers’ perceptions towards the role played by Inspectors of School. However, it is found that
there has been no study done relating the aspect of school inspection with the recent alarming
findings in TIMSS and PISA as well as the urgent need for effective school supervisions as outlined by
the recently launched Malaysia Education Blueprint (2013-2025) by the Ministry of Education.
As evidenced in the alarming TIMSS and PISA recent findings, the standard of education is
continually declining leading to the production of low quality output who are feared of being unable
to contribute to societal development. Education stakeholders have blamed the quality assurance
organization (School Inspectorate) for the failing standard. The assumptions is that schools are not
regularly inspected and that the quality of inspection is below expectations. The result of these
inadequacies is that the quality of instruction in schools has progressively declined as evidenced in
the poor performance of students in the TIMSS and PISA surveys as well as in examinations and
graduates in their work places.
This study is therefore aims to investigate the roles of school inspectors in Malaysia, specifically in
Sabah. To further stipulate, it seeks to examine the knowledge of school inspectors on their basic
responsibilities, hindrances to effective performance of their duties and leadership, as well as
strategies for improvement.
1.3 RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
The main purpose of this study is therefore to determine and identify the problems and difficulties
faced by school inspectors as the appointed quality assurance organization by the Ministry of
Education and discuss ways of solving the problems with a view to improve the quality of education
in Malaysia. To specify, the objectives of this study are:
1.3.1 To identify the basic responsibilities of School Inspectors appointed by the Malaysian
Ministry of Education.
1.3.2 To examine and investigate the hindrances to effective performance of the School
Inspectors.
1.3.3 To resolve the means and ways on improving the performance of School Inspectors.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
In the light of determining the difficulties faced by Malaysian school inspectors and identifying ways
for improvement in terms of performance, this study is aimed to explore the answers to these three
significant research questions:
1.4.1 What are the basic responsibilities of School Inspectors in Malaysia?
1.4.2 What are the hindrances to effective performance of the duties mentioned in question 1?
1.4.3 In what ways can the performance of School Inspectors be improved upon?

15. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
From a general perspective, this study is important because the provision of quality education is a
priority of the nation and school inspectors are acknowledged as the custodian of quality in
education. This study strives to identify the responsibilities and factors affecting the hindrances to
effective performance of Malaysian school inspectors. It is also important to note that it further
aims to highlight the ways in which the practices and performances of school inspectors can be
improved. For the education system to be improved upon, the need for efficient and charismatic
school inspectors is therefore crucially vital. As it is the responsibility of school inspectors as the
guardian of standard or custodian of quality (avant-garde) to ensure the level of quality and
performance in schools, it is consequently precise that schools inspectors be well equipped with
appropriate attribute as well as aptitude in facing the recent challenges in the educational system.
The importance of this study also corresponds with the recent development and requirement in the
Malaysian educational system which emphasized on the excellence of student academic
performances as well as the teaching-learning processes in classrooms which is seen as the major
contributing determinants for quality in education. In this respect, suffice to note that this study is
apparently beneficial to school inspectors of Jemaah Nazir and Jaminan Kualiti, teachers, school
administrators, education officers as well as to the Ministry of Education. By providing findings that
could be used to improve supervisory practices, this study could contribute to the world knowledge
of practice especially within the context of Malaysian educational system. In this light, this study
seeks to create awareness of the roles and challenges faced by the school inspectorate in Malaysia.
1.5 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The function and role of Malaysian inspectorate in the educational system are indeed broad, thereby
this study is limited in investigating and examining the basic responsibilities of school inspectors in
the state of Sabah. Equally important is the exploration of the hindrances affecting effective
performance of schools inspectors in Sabah and ways to improve them.
This study is focussed and limited to Malaysian school inspectors of Jemaah Nazir dan Jaminan
Kualiti, Ministry of Education to generalize findings. However, the entire population in JNJK will not
be used , as such, a proportional random sample will be drawn from the population of interest which
will consists of school inspectors in the state of Sabah. Therefore, the data realized will be subjected
to the limitations of the sample.
1.6 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Creswell (2014) highlighted that research methodology refers to the overall decision involves which
approach should be employed by a researcher to study a topic. He further added that this includes
selecting the philosophical assumptions to be brought into the study, procedures of inquiry and
specific research methods of data collection, analysis and interpretation. It is also specified that the
selection of a research approach is also based on the nature of the research problem or issue being
explored, the researcher’s personal experiences and the audiences for the study.
8. 8
Hence, in this study I will draw my own experiences as one of the Ministry of Education’s appointed
school inspectors to best investigate and explore the issues being addressed by employing
qualitative methodology of research. Three study themes will be chosen in line with the research
questions, namely;
i. Duties of the school inspectors
ii. Hindrances to effective inspection of schools
iii. Strategies for improving the performance of school inspectors
1.7 POPULATION AND SAMPLE
The participants of this study are school inspectors appointed by the Malaysian Ministry of
Education in the state of Sabah. Data collection will be in the form of interviews and Focus Group
Discussion held with the two groups of school inspectors.
The twenty (20) Sabah state inspectors comprising Chief Inspector and Vice Chief of
Inspector of the state.
The five (5) school inspectors in the state branch of Keningau district in Sabah.
The discussions with the state school inspectors will take place during one of their meetings in the
state of Sabah headquarters while that of the branch school inspectors will take place in their offices
respectively.
1.8 DATA ANALYSIS
In the light of reducing the problem of data over load characteristic in this qualitative analysis, a
summary of the significant feature of focus in the study is going to be discussed and presented. The
qualitative data collected from the participants is going to be stratificated and presented in three
themes mentioned earlier : Duties of school inspectors, Hindrances to effective inspection of
schools and Strategies for improving the performance of school inspectors.
