Basic Education Research Unit (BERU) The Basic Education Research Unit (BERU) had it conception under the patronage of the School of Educational Studies, Universiti Sains Malaysia on the 21 st of February, 1990. This unit has its origins in Project InSPIRE and has since extended and continued on the research tradition in both scope and function paving the way to establish itself as a center of excellence in carrying out basic educational research. The main focus of this unit is basic education. Basic education is defined as the education for values, knowledge, basic skills as well as the development of cognitive skills, and aspects of psychology and sociology at the school level. The main objectives of this unit are to conduct research, evaluation and development of resource materials to raise the quality of teaching and learning, to offer consultancy and advisory services in the field of basic education, to assist in the human resource development of teachers and education personnel, and to disseminate information to meet the current need of nation. In response to the changing landscape of education, BERU’s projects are now more diversified and are steered towards meeting the current needs of the nation.

There are also strategic partnership and linkages with other Malaysian public universities, The Malaysian Syndicate, several Non-Governmental organisations and the Sabah Foundation as well as with international institutions such as the Faculties of Education of Deakin University, University of Chulalongkorn and Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. These and other collaborations with UNESCO- Bangkok and Comenius Network of Europe promise to invigorate and enhance our research activities. Our current endeavours are in line with sustainability education research emerging as a response to the United Nations “Decade of Education for sustainable Development (2004-2015)”. As for today, BERU’s are now managing and coordinating various types of grant such as Short Term Grants, Research University Grants, Fundamental Research Grants Schemes, Science Fund and also Special Grants. Total amount of the grants under coordination of BERU is RM8,192,827.27. Furthermore, under coordination of BERU, there are
