Search for the challengers of the Malaysian education system. Write a critical
comment as to how the challenges could be managed by teachers.
Malaysia now strongly belief that education plays a vital role in achieving the
country’s vision of achieving the status of a fully developed nation in terms of
economic development, social justice and spiritual, moral and ethical strength,
towards creating a society that is united, democratic, liberal and dynamic nation. It is
the mission of education to develop a world class quality education
system.Globalization is a term frequently used in the world today. Higher education
in Malaysia is delivered through both public and private systems under the power of
the Ministry of Education.The Malaysian higher education sector has grown
extremely during the past one decade and Malaysia is fast becoming a centre of
educational excellence in the region. The current issues of challenges in Malaysian
Higher Education System are lack of higher impact research, limited number of
competent experts, lack of exposures and resources to embrace education without
borders, lack of innovative, teaching and learning, and also the need for more quality
education programs to meet market demands. By then we have several of
challenges in Malaysian education system to be improve and solve the old problems
which is could managed by teachers in school.
First of all it should be started by us as a teacher. Teaching is a naturally
stressful profession but with team-mate support you can learn to manage it creatively
and positively.Being a teacher, we should have to lead, guide, encourage, motivate,
manage, discipline, and support their students every hour of every day. This is no
mean feat. Most of us do it with goodwill, remarkable and patience. We must know
students have significant learning and behaviour disorders.Managing what is
naturally stressful in our profession does not mean the absence of tension but our

2. ability to cope with, and support one another in that naturally stressful environment.
Learning to creatively live with that natural tension and stress is essential. Most of us
can find some moral support amongst our fellow friends and we always need that,
we also need to build and maintain supportive opportunities, structures, processes
that can be depended upon for support. Friends support cannot be left to goodwill
alone or to chance.
One of the main responsibilities of teachers is to deliver a good quality
instruction while managing with a classroom of students who are individuals with
different personalities and learning styles. Learning wouldaffect if the classroom
environment is chaotic. Organization and clearly defined expectations are the keys to
handling a good discipline. As a good teacher we can explain and discuss the
classroom rules and consequences on the first day of school with your students. But
bear in mind to allow students to express their opinions and give them a good
feedback. Then the teacher can apply rules uniformly and impartially. Being a
teacher, forgive and forget is needed. That may sound tired, but it is important that
the students in your class can see that you will not hold their mistakes against them.
Besides, operant conditioning also one of a form of learning that occurs
through rewards and punishments that in turn produces a certain behaviour effect,
such as continued behaviour or a reduction in behaviour type.Operant conditioning is
a term coined by behaviour psychologist. In this classroom, it can be particularly
useful when dealing with challenging students or students that need more motivation
in the classroom. There are many ways to go about using operant conditioning,
either negative or positive reinforcement, but as long as you remain consistent in
your efforts, your students will respond to you.Operant conditioning is a reward and
punishment type of discipline. The student will receive a positive or negative reaction
from the teacher in response to certain actions. According to the Journal of Applied
Behaviour Analysis, this type of classroom discipline produces the desired student
behaviour over time when a teacher consistently uses the method as a

3. reinforcement or punishment. The most important aspect when using this method is
consistency an inconsistent enforcer will confuse students and the discipline will fail.
Frustration occurs when someone would like to do something, but cannot.
This is a normal feeling feels by teenagers. It can be as difficult as being frustrated
that you don't have enough money to buy a new gadget, or a simple as being
frustrated that your stuttering means you cannot speak clearly. When frustration
happens in a classroom, it can lead to challenging behaviour problems. Started tobe
more emphasize the connection between what you're teaching and the real-world
lives of the students. This is a particularly effective strategy if the challenging
behaviour is rising from boredom and short attention spans. Explain how knowledge
of the subject at hand can help them improve their lives, or give an example of how
knowledge of that particular subject has improved your own life. You can also tell a
truth story of your own experiences. Develop constructive relationships between
students by pairing them for team projects. Clearly indicate to your students that
grades for team projects will be based as much on cooperation as on the quality of
the project itself.
As the conclusion, the challenges faced by the Malaysian Educational System
clearly prove that urgent measures must to be taken and managed by teachers to
overcome these barriers before Malaysia can become the best provider of education
in the Asia. Teachers can make changes about these challenges through guiding
them with true skills and style.
