THE EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY

THE NATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

Our nation, Malaysia, is 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 towards modern science and technology.

NATIONAL PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

Education in Malaysia is an on-going effort towards further developing the potential of individuals in a holistic and integrated manner, so as to produce individuals who are intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically balanced and harmonious based on a firm belief in and devotion to God. Such an effort is designed to produce Malaysian citizens who are knowledgeable and competent, who possess high moral standards and who are responsible and capable of achieving a high level of personal well-being as well as being able to contribute to the betterment of the family, society and the nation at large.

NATIONAL SCIENCE EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY

In consonance with the National Education Philosophy, science education in Malaysia nurtures a science and technology culture by focusing on the development of individuals who are competitive, dynamic, robust and resilient and able to master scientific knowledge and technological competency.

MY PERSPECTIVE ABOUT THE EDUCATION

In my own perspective, the philosophy of education encompasses several parts. I believe that education is not only an academic thing - it is emotional, social, academic, and physical combination that have to be balanced. Teacher should be a facilitator or a guide to learning (hands-on learning), not just the knowledge-giver. I also believe that teaching is developing life-long learners. These are all concepts that I included in my philosophy. It is different for each teacher. Hope this helps. Good luck!!:)
