WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT<br />

PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS IN MALAYSIA?<br />

Get to know the best type of preschool program for your kids by comparing three different types of<br />

preschool programs - Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Waldorf<br />

Your little one is going to be four soon, and the time has come for<br />

you to survey your housing area to look for a suitable kindergarten.<br />

Besides checking whether the kindergarten you are eyeing has<br />

enough qualified staff and is well-managed, clean, spacious and<br />

within your budget, you would also want to find out what teaching<br />

methods are being used.<br />

After visiting a number of kindergartens, you would notice that<br />

they basically fall into three categories. The first category uses the<br />

traditional approach to teaching, which places less emphasis on the<br />

value of play in learning. This traditional approach aims mainly to<br />

prepare the children for primary school by teaching them the basic<br />

academic skills – reading, writing and arithmetic.<br />

Kiddy123 VOL 01<br />

Education<br />

The second category would be the kindergartens that believe<br />

that children are active participants in their own education and<br />

development; that each child has his/her own individual strengths<br />

and therefore learns in different ways. These kindergartens<br />

therefore use mainly play and individual or group activities/projects<br />

to let the children observe and explore their own environment at<br />

their own pace.<br />

The third category would be those kindergartens that are<br />

somewhere in between – teaching the 3Rs as well as using the<br />

element of play.<br />

Which Teaching Method Is Good For My Child?<br />

The debate as to which teaching method is better has gone on<br />

for a long time - not only in <strong>Malaysia</strong>, but in almost every country<br />

where children are given the opportunity to receive education. A<br />

researcher on kindergartens in Taiwan has an apt way of putting it:<br />

he calls the first category “The Efficient Learning School” and the<br />

second category “The Exploratory Learning School”.<br />

To help you decide for your 4-year old, this first part of our article<br />

provides some backgrounder on three well-known early childhood<br />

learning methodologies -Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Waldorf -<br />

the three names you will probably hear from the principals of the<br />

kindergartens that use play in their teaching methods. The three<br />

approaches share the same view of children as active participants<br />

in their own development, and we hope this little backgrounder<br />

will help you understand their philosophies, which have influenced<br />

early childhood education the past 100 years until today.<br />

The second part of our article will cover the other methods, systems<br />

and programmes being used in kindergartens in <strong>Malaysia</strong>.<br />

Montessori<br />

The Montessori Method, which is probably the most well-known<br />

in <strong>Malaysia</strong> among the three methodologies, was developed in the<br />

early 1900s by an Italian physician, Dr Maria Montessori - initially<br />

to help children with special needs and later introduced in her<br />

first classroom, the Casa dei Bambini (or Children’s House), for<br />

the disadvantaged children of San Lorenzo outside Rome. From<br />

her research work with these children, Dr Montessori believed<br />

that children are born with a unique potential and are inherently<br />

independent learners. The Montessori Method therefore respects<br />

each child’s individual differences and creates environments which<br />

foster the fulfillment of each child’s highest potential.<br />

At the preschool level, Montessori emphasises learning through<br />

all five senses, not just through listening, watching, or reading.<br />

Children in Montessori’s mixed age classes (usually ages 3 to 6<br />

years old) are given uninterrupted blocks of work time to learn at<br />

their own pace and according to their own choice of activities from<br />

hundreds of possibilities. They are not required to sit and listen to<br />

a teacher talk to them as a group, but are engaged in individual<br />

or group activities of their own, with specially designed materials<br />

that have been introduced to them individually by the teacher who<br />

knows what each child is ready to do.<br />

In <strong>Malaysia</strong>, many kindergartens are known as Montessori centres.<br />

However, some may not include all the traditionally prescribed<br />

elements. The word “Montessori” is not legally protected and<br />

can be used by anyone, as such you will have to check what<br />

the kindergarten offers if you want your child to have a “full<br />

Montessori” experience. You can go to the following links to learn<br />

Education<br />

Reggio Emelia<br />

The Reggio Emilia approach, which also originated in Italy, arose<br />

out of the need to reconstruct society after the devastation of<br />

World War II. Under the leadership of a teacher, Loris Malaguzzi,<br />

teachers and parents from the villages around Reggio Emilia in<br />

northern Italy, worked together to build a system for infant-toddler<br />

and preschool education - in fact, the first school was built with<br />

proceeds from the sale of a tank, some trucks and a few horses left<br />

behind by the retreating German soldiers.<br />

Until today, the Reggio Emilia philosophy views parents as partners<br />

and collaborators together with the teachers in their children’s<br />

education. Education has to focus on each child, not considered in<br />

isolation, but seen in relation with the family, with other children,<br />

with the teachers, with the environment of the school, with the<br />

community, and with the wider society.<br />

The Reggio approach sees children as being full of potential and<br />

capable of building their own theories. Children are viewed as<br />

citizens having rights to develop themselves and to have some<br />

control over the direction of their learning. As such, much of the<br />

instruction at Reggio Emilia schools takes place in the form of<br />

projects where the children have opportunities to explore, observe,<br />

hypothesise, question, and discuss to clarify their understanding –<br />

as if they are apprentices rather than students.<br />

Although not as well known in <strong>Malaysia</strong> as Montessori, there are a<br />

number of kindergartens that practise the Reggio Emilia approach<br />

in combination with other methods and programmes.<br />

The following will provide you with more information about<br />

Reggio Emilia:<br />

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggio_Emilia_approach<br />

http://reggioalliance.org/<br />

Waldorf<br />

Waldorf education is based on the educational philosophy of<br />

Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian thinker and educator. His first school,<br />

where his thoughts on education were put into practice, was for<br />

the children of the employees of the Waldorf Astoria cigarette<br />

factory in Stuttgart, Germany after the First World War. Hence, the<br />

name Waldorf.<br />

Germany at that time was a defeated nation facing economic,<br />

social and political chaos. As such, it is not surprising that Steiner’s<br />

main goal for education was to develop morally responsible and<br />

integrated individuals with a high degree of social competence –<br />

perhaps, people who will not start another world war!<br />

His philosophy on early childhood education focuses on practical,<br />

hands-on activities and creative play. A Waldorf teacher creates a<br />

warm, beautiful and loving home-like environment for the child,<br />

one which is protective and secure and where things happen in a<br />

predictable, regular manner.<br />

The teacher works with the developing child in two basic ways.<br />

Firstly, the teacher engages in domestic, practical and artistic<br />

activities that the children can readily imitate (for example, baking,<br />

painting, gardening and handicraft), adapting the work to the<br />

changing seasons and festivals of the year.<br />

Secondly, the teacher nurtures the children’s power of<br />

imagination, according to the age, by telling carefully selected<br />

stories and by encouraging free play in which the children act out<br />

scenarios of their own creation, helping them to experience many<br />

aspects of life more deeply. When toys are used, they are made<br />

of natural materials, e.g., pine cones, wood, cotton, silk, shells,<br />

stones and other objects from nature that the children themselves<br />

have collected and are used in play and to beautify their<br />

classroom – unlike the Montessori method which uses specially<br />

designed materials.<br />

Waldorf education is not as widely available in <strong>Malaysia</strong> as<br />

Montessori. It is also not as often-used as Montessori or Reggio<br />

Emilia in kindergartens that use a combination of methods –<br />

perhaps because the Waldorf method does not recommend<br />

introducing academic learning to the child until much later,<br />

sometimes only at the age of 7.<br />

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldorf_education<br />

What’s Your Pick?<br />

You may ask: “How can these methodologies developed a century<br />

ago have any relevance to my child today?” It is true that the world<br />

has changed since then. However, their view of the child remains<br />

relevant to us today - that each child is special in his/her own way<br />

and needs a nurturing and caring environment to help him/her<br />

develop his/her potential and ultimately take his/her position in the<br />

family, community and workplace.<br />

Research indicates that these formative years are critical in a child’s<br />

cognitive, social, emotional and physical development. As such, the<br />

time and effort you put into looking for a suitable kindergarten for<br />

your child would be well-spent if the place you finally select can<br />

provide the best learning experience for your little one.<br />

Education<br />

AN INSIGHT OF PRESCHOOL TEACHING<br />

AND LEARNING APPROACHES<br />

Which teaching methods used is the most effective in preschool education?<br />

in a central theme that allows for real life situations and creative<br />

exploration. For example, the theme of transportation can help<br />

your child explore concepts such as motion (cars, trains), buoyancy<br />

(boats, ships), safety (safety belts in cars) and take part in activities<br />

such as craftwork (sticking on words and pictures of cars on a<br />

“road” drawn on the whiteboard) and drawing (guided drawing<br />

around cardboard cut-outs of a car).<br />

In <strong>Malaysia</strong>, all kindergartens, except preschools operating<br />

under international schools, are required to follow the National<br />

Preschool Curriculum (NPC) implemented in 2003 by the Ministry<br />

of Education, which, the report states, “promotes the holistic<br />

intellectual, languages, social, art and creativity, psychomotor,<br />

cognitive and spiritual development of the children”.<br />

The NPC lists four approaches of preschool teaching and learning:<br />

learning through play, thematic approach, integrated approach,<br />

and information technology and communication. However, these<br />

approaches are broad and kindergartens have the flexibility to use<br />

any teaching methods they wish as long as they fulfil the guidelines<br />

of the NPC, among which are: the Malay language to be taught at<br />

least two hours a week in preschools not using Malay as the main<br />

language, and at least two hours a week of Islamic education for<br />

Muslim children and moral education for non-Muslim children.<br />

Teaching methods used by a kindergarten usually depend on how<br />

the kindergarten operates. Kindergartens in <strong>Malaysia</strong> can be standalone<br />

using their own teaching methods; franchisees that follow<br />

the methods used by the franchisor; or kindergartens that purchase<br />

ready-made systems, which come together with the syllabus,<br />

workbooks and lesson plans. Here are some names you may hear<br />

during your site visits to find a suitable kindergarten for your child.<br />

Thematic Approach – an integrated approach<br />

to learning<br />

The thematic approach, which the NPC mentions, is a way of<br />

teaching and learning whereby many areas of the curriculum<br />

are connected together and integrated within a theme. It allows<br />

learning to be more natural as it guides connected ideas to follow<br />

on easily, and is a favourite with teachers as well as children.<br />

The theme can be transportation for the next few days or until the<br />

teacher feels that the children can move on, then pets or plants,<br />

etc. The beauty of the thematic approach is that cognitive skills<br />

such as reading, thinking, memorising and writing are put together<br />

The way the thematic approach works in creating connections is<br />

believed to be the best way for a child to learn. Learning is also<br />

more effective and efficient when the subject taught is directly<br />

associated to real life examples. All these are supported by research<br />

on how the brain works and how human beings learn. Ultimately,<br />

the use of this approach may help your child achieve higher levels<br />

of learning.<br />

Multiple Intelligences – 8 different potential<br />

pathways to learning<br />

Some kindergartens in <strong>Malaysia</strong> have adopted the theory of Multi<br />

Intelligences, which was developed about 30 years ago by Dr<br />

Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University.<br />

Dr Gardner suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence<br />

based on I.Q. testing and examinations is far too limited and has<br />

proposed six other types of intelligence in addition to the linguistic<br />

(verbal) and logical-mathematical (reasoning, numbers) intelligences<br />

that schools have traditionally focused on. The six types are:<br />

• Spatial (i.e. picture smart)<br />

• Bodily-kinesthetic (i.e. body smart)<br />

• Musical (i.e. music smart)<br />

• Interpersonal (i.e. people smart)<br />

• Intrapersonal (i.e. self smart)<br />

• Naturalist (i.e. nature smart)<br />

This theory may explain why children who show potential in these<br />

other intelligences may not have received much recognition in<br />

school and may even end up being labeled as under-achievers<br />

or, worse, as having attention deficit disorder - just because their<br />

unique way of learning is not addressed in the classroom. It could<br />

also mean that when our child is slow in learning, he/she may not<br />

be learning in the way that best suits him/her.<br />

Today, more and more educators are adopting the theory of<br />

Multiple Intelligences and have found that it actually provides<br />

eight different potential pathways to learning. If a child is having<br />

difficulty learning in the more traditional linguistic or logicalmathematical<br />

ways of teaching, the theory suggests that there<br />

several other ways in which the material might be presented to<br />

facilitate effective learning.<br />

6 Kiddy123 VOL 01


Education<br />

Kindergartens that recognise this concept will use several ways<br />

to address the different intelligences. They may use, for example,<br />

word games, rhyme recitation, storytelling, numbers, pictures,<br />

music, role play, inner reflection, a physical experience, a social<br />

experience, or/and an experience in the natural world, so that each<br />

child has the opportunity to learn in ways harmonious with their<br />

unique minds.<br />

For more information on this theory, go to:<br />

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_multiple_intelligences<br />

Accelerated Learning Method – a preferred<br />

learning style<br />

There are also kindergartens that use the Accelerated Learning<br />

Method, the techniques of which were first propounded by Colin<br />

Rose in his landmark book Accelerated Learning in 1983. Rose<br />

had incorporated the work of Dr Howard Gardner on Multiple<br />

Intelligences and that of more than 100 other educational<br />

researchers to develop his techniques – which, incidentally, have<br />

also been incorporated into the human resource training of many<br />

Fortune 500 companies.<br />

The method is based on the concept that each child has a preferred<br />

learning style - a way of learning that suits him/her best. Some<br />

children are more visual, others more auditory, and others are more<br />

physical (more ‘hands-on’) and when the way the child is taught<br />

closely matches the way he/she likes to learn, the time taken to<br />

learn is reduced - hence the name Accelerated Learning.<br />

The kindergartens that have introduced the Accelerated Learning<br />

Method in their teaching syllabus say that it also helps children<br />

develop the full range of their intelligences when they are<br />

provided a variety of learning activities which encompass all of the<br />

intelligences.<br />

The Victoria Readers – a reading system based<br />

on the phonetic system<br />

If you want to make sure that your child learns to read in<br />

kindergarten, you have to check whether the kindergarten<br />

focuses only on pre-reading skills or emphasises on actually<br />

teaching the child to read. A number of kindergartens which take<br />

the stand that reading must be taught explicitly and systematically<br />

use The Victoria Readers programme, a systematic reading system<br />

based on the phonetic system, which is supposed to teach a child<br />

to read and spell in the shortest time possible. The system was<br />

developed by Victoria Wong, an English language teacher, about<br />

20 years ago.<br />

At Level 1, the child learns to read three letter words with a vowel<br />

in the medial position and simple sentence structures. At Level<br />

2, the child learns to combine a vowel with consonant blends<br />

(“voiced” combinations of two consonants, e.g. fl, bl, sl) and<br />

simple sentence structures. At Level 3, the child learns to read<br />

diagraph (“voiceless” combinations of two consonants, e.g. ch, th,<br />

wh), new sentence structures and simple comprehension passages.<br />

At Level 4, the child learns to read diphthongs (a sound made by<br />

combining two vowels), and new sentence structures. The child<br />

then reads short stories to expand his vocabulary.<br />

Orff-Schulwerk Approach - integration of music,<br />

movement, speech and drama<br />

There are kindergartens that offer the Orff-Schulwerk Kids<br />

programme as part of their syllabus. The Orff-Schulwerk approach<br />

was developed to build musicianship in every child through the<br />

integration of music, movement, speech, and drama. If you wish<br />

to stimulate the potential musical abilities of your ready-forkindergarten<br />

child, this is actually the best time to do so as a child’s<br />

sense of hearing is said to develop most rapidly between the ages<br />

of 3 to 8 and creativity between the ages of 0 to 5.<br />

As children’s fine motor skills are not yet well-developed,<br />

Orff-Schulwerk has designed a special group of teaching aids and<br />

instruments such as xylophone and metallaphone, which suit a<br />

child’s capabilities. Children can improvise freely and explore their<br />

creativity without being restricted by their physical development.<br />

Lessons are presented with an element of play, helping children<br />

to learn at their own level of understanding. After that imitation,<br />

experimentation, and personal expression will occur naturally<br />

as they become confident, life-long musicians. It is only much<br />

later that technique and theory come in. Outside of music,<br />

the Orff-Schulwerk programme has been shown to improve<br />

perceptual functioning, concept formation, concentration, motor<br />

skills, and performance in other academic areas such as reading<br />

and mathematics.<br />

Choose The Best For Your Child<br />

It is hoped that the above information has helped you to see<br />

how early childhood education has developed over the years in<br />

<strong>Malaysia</strong>. Its scope has vastly expanded and so has its potential for<br />

making a difference in the life of your child. Whatever kindergarten<br />

you ultimately decide upon, at least it will be a decision based on<br />

an understanding of teaching methods used and a parent's unique<br />

intuition as to what is best for your child.<br />

Education<br />

TADIKA VS. TASKA – DO YOU KNOW<br />

THE DIFFERENCE?<br />

Are tadika and taska synonyms or are there any differences between them?<br />

“child care centre” etc., and become confused by the many<br />

terms used almost interchangeably. Here, we attempt to shed<br />

some light on the different terms used to clear the confusion to<br />

the best of our knowledge.<br />

Generally, early childhood education refers to education for<br />

young children at the age of 6 years or younger, but is not part of<br />

the formal education system. There are mainly two types of early<br />

childhood education: taska and tadika; taska caters for children<br />

from birth to 4 years of age while tadika enrols children between<br />

4 to 6 years of age. The purpose of these institutions is to prepare<br />

the young children with some basic skills and knowledge before<br />

being enrolled into schools with formal education.<br />

<strong>Early</strong> childhood education is now more popular than ever, with<br />

parents sending their child to nurseries as early as 12 months<br />

old. Every year before a new academic year begins, parents<br />

would be bustling around searching for a preschool or nursery<br />

for their child. Some parents would research for information on<br />

the internet, some would rely on word of mouth to find out the<br />

best available preschool or nursery around town. However, many<br />

may come across terms such as “tadika”, “taska”, “nursery”,<br />

Tadika<br />

This is the most common term that every parent would know.<br />

“Tadika” comes from the abbreviation for Taman Didikan Kanakkanak<br />

in Malay language (taman= garden, didikan=upbringing<br />

and kanak-kanak=children), which translates to kindergarten or<br />

preschool in English.<br />

Taska<br />

“Taska” is the abbreviation for Taman Asuhan Kanak-kanak<br />

(“asuhan”=care), which is child care centre or nursery.<br />

The following table shows a comparison between the two<br />

different categories:<br />

Taska, Nursery or Child Care Centres<br />

In <strong>Malaysia</strong>, a legislative-approved child care centre is defined as a<br />

premise at which four or more children under the age of 4 years<br />

from more than one household are received to be looked after for<br />

reward. It is a requirement for child care centres to be registered<br />

with the Department of Social Welfare, or more commonly<br />

known as Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat <strong>Malaysia</strong> (JKM), under<br />

the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development<br />

(MWFCD).<br />

MWFCD is responsible for the approval and establishment of child<br />

care centres in <strong>Malaysia</strong> whilst JKM serves as the main regulator<br />

and coordinator of early childhood care and education (ECCE)<br />

programmes. 2 However, there is no specific curriculum guideline<br />

for child care providers of this category. Therefore it is really<br />

important to do some basic research before choosing a child care<br />

centre for your child.<br />

Day Care Centres<br />

It is interesting to note that there is also another category<br />

known as daycare centre. It is like a child care centre, but<br />

most daycare centres do not take in young infant and may not<br />

provide learning programmes to the children. Daycare centres<br />

cater for children of parents with full-time jobs, mainly providing<br />

a place to care for children from two to six years old, before<br />

or after school hours. Generally, they are open from 8am (or<br />

earlier) to 6pm, and some will stay open for longer than that.<br />

Some daycare centres also accept children of primary education,<br />

between 6 to 12 years of age.<br />

There is an emphasis in the importance of early childhood<br />

education, evident from the ongoing effort by the MOE in recent<br />

years to improve the quality of preschools in the country. Children<br />

are valuable resources in our society and they are the future pillars<br />

of the nation. Therefore, they have a right to quality education<br />

regardless of their background. Every child is unique; it is the duty<br />

of the parents to pick the right nursery or preschool to cater<br />

for the needs of their child.<br />

7 GOOD REASONS WHY CHOOSING<br />

AN INTERNATIONAL PRESCHOOL IS A<br />

SMART IDEA<br />

Your children’s early childhood education has a profound and life-long effect on their emotional, social and<br />

physical development as well as who they would become as an adult. This is why it is crucial that you invest in<br />

the best preschool education for your child<br />

In <strong>Malaysia</strong>, international preschools are one of the top choices<br />

for parents who are seeking quality preschools or kindergartens<br />

for their children – and for good reasons. While international<br />

preschools usually require higher fees than local ones, they offer<br />

a host of benefits that local kindergartens may not be able to<br />

provide. Check out these seven aspects of international preschools<br />

that set them apart from local ones.<br />

1. Comprehensive Curriculum<br />

International preschools offer a well-designed curriculum that<br />

has a global, all-encompassing approach that aims at your child’s<br />

development through cultivating critical thinking, essential skills<br />

and creative expression. Many international preschools also adopt<br />

the internationally recognized International Preschool Curriculum<br />

(IPC) which incorporates play, inquiry and objective-based learning<br />

styles into 6 learning areas including Language Arts, Numeracy,<br />

Creative Arts, Socio-emotional Skills, Sciences and Motor Skills.<br />

Some international preschools also offer STEM-based education<br />

to integrate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math into their<br />

daily curriculum. Foreign language studies such as Spanish, Italian,<br />

German, Chinese (Mandarin) and French are also available as well.<br />

2. All-Rounded Learning Methods<br />

International preschools usually cater to all types of learners within<br />

a holistic, creative learning environment. Most of them will strive to<br />

achieve a careful balance between teacher-directed tasks and child-<br />

10 Kiddy123 VOL 01


Education<br />

initiated learning, allowing students to learn about things in an<br />

exploratory and meaningful way. Core classes are also often set<br />

up to encourage students to inquire, explore, discover, encounter<br />

and question all they experience around them.<br />

between parents and the school via parents meetings and weekly<br />

newsletters to keep parents informed. At some schools, there<br />

are Parent-Teacher Organizations that offer parents, teachers and<br />

children the opportunity to take an active role together in ensuring<br />

their children's successful development. There are also activities<br />

planned, for instance, get-togethers and social gatherings, picnics,<br />

field trips and more.<br />

3. State-of-the-Art Facilities and Equipment<br />

In terms of facilities, parents can expect excellent learning spaces<br />

at international preschools. Classrooms are bright and welcoming,<br />

designed to provide the optimal learning environment for your<br />

kids. Outside the classroom, there are also different school facilities<br />

that further provide students with the opportunity to explore areas<br />

of interest and pursue their passions. Facilities can range between<br />

indoor or outdoor gyms for physical activities, gardens and spacious<br />

outdoor play spaces as well as libraries and art studios to swimming<br />

pools, dance studios, multi-purpose halls and even science labs and<br />

cooking stations to encourage explanatory learning. These facilities<br />

are also selected and designed to ensure health and safety of<br />

young children. Some international preschools are now integrating<br />

the latest technology into their curriculum. For example, iPads are<br />

used as learning tools in core classes for preschoolers.<br />

4. Qualified Educators<br />

International preschools are meticulous when it comes to their<br />

teaching staff. These schools only employ certified teachers<br />

and learning assistants and usually have a team of experienced<br />

management staffs. These preschools also provide their teachers<br />

wit a comprehensive training program and on-going professional<br />

development opportunities so that they can stay up-to-date with<br />

the latest in pedagogy, learning and educational practices. For<br />

example, in IPC-based preschools, staff members will be provided<br />

with specific IPC Teacher Training courses which will then culminate<br />

into the IPC Teacher Certificate. Additionally, many international<br />

preschools also have low teacher to student ratios to ensure<br />

students receive optimal attention and learning opportunities from<br />

their teachers.<br />

6. Meticulous Policies<br />

International preschools have thorough safety and health policies<br />

in place to ensure students are guaranteed a secure, organized<br />

and healthy environment. There are usually drop-off and pick-up<br />

procedures that only allow adults authorized on the enrolment<br />

form to pick up a child. Sick policies are also non-negotiable –<br />

these schools often follow a strict quarantine and send-home policy<br />

for illnesses emerging. For example, if your child exhibits any of the<br />

symptoms cited in their guidebook, he or she must be kept or sent<br />

home immediately.<br />

7. More Opportunities for Studying Abroad<br />

International preschools prepare students for international<br />

primary and secondary school programs which usually follow<br />

internationally-recognized curriculum such as the International<br />

Baccalaureate program. This IB education model is accepted in<br />

almost all continents and makes entry into overseas universities and<br />

colleges much easier. A survey also reveals that students who have<br />

gone through international education tend to be better prepared<br />

for further study and work. This is because they develop a more<br />

well-rounded range of skills like time management, critical analysis<br />

and independent thinking than their peers who are educated in<br />

national schools.<br />

5. Parental Involvement<br />

International preschools recognise that parents play an important<br />

role in their child’s education process. To have parents more<br />

involved, these preschools encourage frequent communication<br />

9 WAYS TO GET YOUR KIDS<br />

LOVE PRESCHOOL<br />

Tired of hearing all complaints of not wanting to go to school? Here are nine ways to help your kids<br />

feel enthusiastic about their school<br />

Psst!” I have a confession to make. I LOVED school when I was<br />

kid. Every term break I would be counting down the days till I get<br />

to go back to school to learn and play with my friends. Nerd alert,<br />

yes I know. I did notice that not everyone loves school. In fact, a<br />

good portion does not actually enjoy it. Pull away their blankets,<br />

turn on the bright lights and switch off the air-conditioner and<br />

they will still not budge an inch off their beds to go to school.<br />

Most would rather stick their faces in the iPad than read a book;<br />

some would rather ride a bicycle than do their homework. I feel<br />

you, parents. Perhaps, give the following tips a shot to boost their<br />

viewpoint towards school and learning:<br />

Positive Attitude<br />

Everybody and their grandparents know that kids love to ask<br />

“Why?” Let the kids know that school is the place where they<br />

can get all the answers to their whys and the wherefores. Share<br />

with them that access to education is a privilege. Read books<br />

about starting school to stimulate enthusiasm. Otter Goes to<br />

School by Sam Garton is a good read for little ones going to<br />

school for the first time. Model a positive attitude about school to<br />

excite the kids about the new adventure ahead.<br />

Build Up Their Confidence<br />

Boost your kid’s confidence by telling them that you believe in<br />

them and appreciate how they learn. Give praise where praise<br />

is due, teach resilience, instill independence and adventure, and<br />

support their pursuit of a passion. The accumulation of your<br />

encouraging words throughout time can help develop confidence<br />

in the little ones to survive, thrive and love preschool.<br />

Let’s Go Shopping<br />

Shopping, everybody loves some shopping. Alright, not everybody<br />

but taking kids back-to-school shopping is bound to thrill them.<br />

It is a fun activity to let them pick out their choice of stationery,<br />

bags, lunchboxes and drink bottles. Be careful not to go<br />

overboard and mind the budget!<br />

Creative Learning<br />

Spark their interest in learning by turning everyday events<br />

into learning opportunities. Encourage kids to explore the<br />

world around them and bring learning outdoors – go hiking,<br />

walking or playing in the playground. Provide kids with play<br />

opportunities that support different learning styles. Equipment<br />

that aid open-ended play, for example puzzles and blocks, are<br />

great tools to foster learning. Make learning fun and kids would<br />

not refrain school.<br />

Feed Their Interest<br />

Show enthusiasm in your child’s interests and encourage children<br />

to explore and learn further about the subjects that captivate<br />

them. Keep their interests alive and it will make them hungry to<br />

head back to school for more.<br />

Reiterate The Day<br />

To build strong connections between school and home, you need<br />

to stay abreast with what is going on in your child’s school. Find<br />

out what they learned by asking small questions such as: “What<br />

song did you sing for music class today?”, “Did you get time for<br />

water-play?”, “What was for lunch?”. Try to avoid asking one<br />

big question “What did you learn in school today?”. It may be<br />

a simple straightforward question for us adults but for kids it is<br />

daunting to cover the whole day in one question. This will most<br />

likely lead to the answer “I do not know”.<br />

Encourage Their Friendships<br />

Often kids look forward to seeing their friends at school every<br />

day. These little buddies can make a world of a difference for<br />

kids who are not exactly keen on attending classes. Schedule<br />

play dates or plan extracurricular activities together to help those<br />

friendships flourish.<br />

Volunteer At School<br />

If time permits, get involved in school by volunteering – participate in<br />

school activities, attend school events or serve on the parent council.<br />

Kid’s love for school will heighten when they see how much interest<br />

you place in their school. Kids will pick up on your cues.<br />

Celebrate Achievements<br />

Avoid rewards to encourage children to learn. Let learning be<br />

the reward. Feed their curious minds with necessary resources to<br />

help them explore different topics and discover new things. Even<br />

if the kid did not ace in language lessons, he or she may excel in<br />

numbers. Focus on the strengths and nurture talents by providing<br />

relevant supporting tools like wooden abacus or interlocking<br />

cubes. Celebrate their achievements, no matter how small.<br />

At the end of the day, every child is indeed very different. Some<br />

needs no motivation to wake up for school every morning, while<br />

some need a longer time span to acclimate. Avoid forcing and try<br />

positive reinforcement instead.<br />

IMPROVE KIDS’ TECHNOLOGICAL<br />

LEARNING WITH ROBOTICS CLASS<br />

Today, more parents believe that robotics class for kids isn’t just fun, but a great learning tool too. It can help<br />

young children with a variety of cognitive skills, the scientific method of inquiry and problem-solving, handson<br />

learning and nurturing creativity<br />

Prior research suggests that children as young as 4 years old can<br />

successfully build and programme simple robotics projects while<br />

learning a range of engineering and robotics concepts in the<br />

process. For example, early studies with the text-based language<br />

Logo, have shown that computer programming can help young<br />

children with a variety of cognitive skills, including number sense,<br />

language skills and visual memory. Educational robotics kits<br />

have become a new generation of learning manipulatives that<br />

help children develop a stronger understanding of mathematical<br />

concepts such as number, size and shape in much the same way<br />

that traditional materials like pattern blocks, beads and balls do.<br />

“We are examining our education system to create a curriculum<br />

where people learn how to learn so they can continue their<br />

education throughout the rest of their lives. The measure of success<br />

in 2020 will be the number and quality of our people who can add<br />

value to information” – Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, MSC <strong>Malaysia</strong><br />

Launch, 1st August 1996.<br />

What Is Robotics<br />

Wikipedia defines robotics as an interdisciplinary branch of<br />

engineering and science that includes mechanical engineering,<br />

electrical engineering, computer science and others. Robotics deals<br />

with the design, construction, operation and use of robots, as<br />

well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback and<br />

information processing.<br />

Science fiction author, Isaac Asimov is often given credit for being<br />

the first person to use the term robotics in a short story composed<br />

in the 1940s. In the story, Asimov suggested three principles to<br />

guide the behavior of robots and smart machines. Asimov’s Three<br />

Laws of Robotics, as they are called, have survived to the present:<br />

1) Robots must never harm human beings. 2) Robots must follow<br />

instructions from humans without violating Rule 1. 3) Robots must<br />

protect themselves without violating the other rules.<br />

Robotics In Preschools<br />

Down south, our island neighbor of Singapore has in recent<br />

years, increased its emphasis on technology and engineering in<br />

early childhood education. Their newest initiative, the Playmaker<br />

Programme, is focused on teaching robotics and coding in<br />

preschool settings. Robotics offers a playful and collaborative<br />

way for children to engage with foundational technology and<br />

engineering concepts during their formative early childhood years.<br />

Trials with social robots in a preschool environment were conducted<br />

from April till October 2016, with Pepper at My First Skool Jurong<br />

point, and its smaller counterpart NAO at MY World Preschool<br />

at Bukit Panjang. This “Robots for <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Childhood</strong> Education”<br />

is a pilot study initiated by the Infocomm Media Development<br />

Authority of Singapore in conjunction with partners such as<br />

SoftBank Telecom Singapore and the Nanyang Technological<br />

University Robotics Research Centre.<br />

Unlike many apps and educational software developed for<br />

children, robotics activities do not involve sitting alone, in front of a<br />

computer. Rather, robotics manipulatives allow children to develop<br />

fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination while also engaging<br />

in collaboration and teamwork. A robotics and programming<br />

also have the potential to foster “computational thinking” in<br />

The New Millennium<br />

In this millennium, students and teachers need to keep abreast<br />

with advancements in ICT to remain competitive and relevant. As<br />

mentioned in the Smart School Conceptual Blueprint (MOE 1997),<br />

technology is used as a tool and should be integrated into the<br />

curriculum rather than be taught separately as an end in itself.<br />

young children. This term has been defined in many ways and<br />

encompasses broad analytic and problem-solving skills, dispositions,<br />

habits and approaches used in computer science. Computational<br />

thinking involves the ability to abstract from computational<br />

instructions (programming languages) to computational behaviours<br />

and to identify potential “bugs” and places of errors.<br />

How <strong>Early</strong> Is Too <strong>Early</strong>?<br />

How early is too early to learn coding or basic and elementary<br />

robotics? Even if kids aren’t old enough to know how to read,<br />

they can still start to learn the basic concepts of coding. Primo, a<br />

project on Kickstarter, is a simple kit that a four-year old can use<br />

to programme a cute plywood robot named Cubetto. Pop a series<br />

of coloured boxes into a compiler board, and kids can tell the<br />

adorable robot where to go around the room.<br />

Find Inspiration Online<br />

If you and your kids are ready to tackle some robotics projects on<br />

your own, you can search for inspiration online. There are hundreds<br />

of free and paid tutorials, many of which cater to kids and families.<br />

Makezine.com offers hundreds of maker projects with photos and<br />

instructions. You can sort the projects by type (like robotics and<br />

wearables) and difficulty level.<br />

DIY.org is an online community for kids to connect with each other<br />

and to learn lots of new skills. DIY.org organizes projects under skill<br />

patches (like astronaut, printmaker and toy maker).<br />

Check out skills like Circuit Bender, Bitster, Fabric Hacker, Sensor<br />

Hacker and Hardware Hacker for experiments that teach kids<br />

about robotics.<br />

littleBits allow kids to make simple circuits that can be built into<br />

more elaborate projects that do cool things, like shoot confetti<br />

or draw. littleBits and similar toys can be great for creating<br />

introductory projects since they do not require any loose parts or<br />

complicated tools, but they can be expensive.<br />

Arduino is for older kids who are curious about how things work<br />

or want to combine coding and hardware. Arduino is a small<br />

open-sourced microcontroller (basically, a computer) that can be<br />

programmed into all sorts of inventions.<br />

Raspberry Pi is a small and affordable computer that’s great for<br />

kids. This capable little device plugs into a computer or TV and<br />

allows kids to explore computing with languages like Python and<br />

Scratch. This device can also be used in digital maker projects like<br />

robots or music machines.<br />

Creative Preschool Robot Crafts and Activities<br />

Here are a few robot crafts and activities that encourage and<br />

incorporate learning that kids will love. Below you will find ideas<br />

that include everything from learning about shapes, mathematics,<br />

fine motor skills, creative crafts and building robots with<br />

recyclable materials.<br />

Special Education<br />

SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION FOR<br />

CHILDREN - MALAYSIAN OVERVIEW<br />

Despite governments signing up to many a convention and seemingly supporting international guidelines on<br />

children with special needs, prejudices and exclusion still form part of everyday life for many children with<br />

special needs around the world. The principle of ‘inclusive education’ put forward at the UNESCO-convened<br />

Salamanca conference in 1994 has been a major step forward, but a lot remains to be done<br />

no services whatsoever. Indeed, in many developing countries,<br />

it is estimated that less than 1 percent of children with special<br />

educational needs are included in existing provision.<br />

It is also particularly important to recognize that women have often<br />

been doubly disadvantaged, bias based on gender compounding<br />

the difficulties caused by their disabilities. Women and men should<br />

have equal influence on the design of educational programmes and<br />

the same opportunities to benefit from them. Special efforts should<br />

be made to encourage the participation of girls and women with<br />

disabilities in educational programmes.<br />

What is Special Needs Education<br />

In the context of the Salamanca conference, the term special<br />

‘educational needs’ refers to all those children and youth whose<br />

needs arise from disabilities or learning difficulties. Many children<br />

experience learning difficulties and thus have special educational<br />

needs at some time during their schooling. It assumes that human<br />

differences are normal and that learning must accordingly be<br />

adapted to the needs of the child rather than the child fitted to<br />

preordained assumptions regarding the pace and nature of the<br />

learning process.<br />

Experience in many countries demonstrates that the integration of<br />

children and youth with special educational needs is best achieved<br />

within inclusive schools that serve all children within a community.<br />

It is within this context that those with special educational needs<br />

can achieve the fullest educational progress and social integration.<br />

The fundamental principle of the inclusive school is that all children<br />

should learn together, wherever possible, regardless of any<br />

difficulties or differences they may have.<br />

<strong>Malaysia</strong>n Perspective<br />

Article 28 of <strong>Malaysia</strong>’s Persons with Disabilities Act 2008 affirms<br />

that special needs children are to be given the necessary support<br />

to “facilitate their full and equal participation in education”.<br />

Based on international best practices and current national policy,<br />

the <strong>Malaysia</strong>n Ministry of Education is committed to moving<br />

more students with special needs towards the inclusive education<br />

programme and raising the overall quality of the provision. The<br />

<strong>Malaysia</strong>n Education Blueprint 2013-2025 outlines the action<br />

plan for inclusive education in “Improving Access in Preschool<br />

Education: Inclusive Education Programme (IEP) Initiative”<br />

Inclusive Education<br />

Inclusive education means giving each and every child an<br />

opportunity to learn at their local school with enough support for<br />

them to reach their full potential. This does not require special<br />

institutions, care or expensive materials. It simply means that all<br />

students should have the opportunity to receive individualised<br />

services and approaches to learning. In <strong>Malaysia</strong>, the Ministry of<br />

We Are All Different<br />

The situation regarding special needs education varies enormously<br />

from one country to another. There are, for example, countries<br />

that have well established systems of special schools for those with<br />

specific impairments. However, especially in developing countries,<br />

indications are that the high cost of special schools means, in<br />

practice, that only a small minority of students, usually an urban<br />

elite, benefit from them. The vast majority of students with special<br />

needs, especially in rural areas, are as a consequence provided with<br />

Education provides children with disabilities with three schooling<br />

options under the national special needs education system:<br />

Quick Facts<br />

Following are some quick facts and figures from a UNICEF report<br />

titled Inclusive Education, <strong>Malaysia</strong> dated June 2014 with data from<br />

<strong>Malaysia</strong> Educational Statistics 2012 (Quick Facts):<br />

Special Education Schools<br />

These are special schools for children with disabilities. There are<br />

currently 33 Special Education Schools:<br />

Primary Schools: 28<br />

• 22 for children with hearing disabilities<br />

• 5 for children with visual disabilities<br />

• 1 for children with learning disabilities<br />

Secondary schools: 5<br />

• 3 vocational schools<br />

• 1 academic school for children with visual disability<br />

• 1 academic school for children with hearing disabilities<br />

Special Education Integrated Programme (SEIP)<br />

Specific classes in mainstream schools dedicated to children with<br />

special needs. There are currently under 2,000 mainstream schools<br />

with SEIP.<br />

• Primary schools: 1,300<br />

• Secondary schools: 670<br />

Inclusive Education Programme<br />

Children with disabilities are integrated into mainstream classes<br />

In 2010, the Ministry of Education enrolled 48,140 children with<br />

disabilities in these three programmes, representing around 1 per<br />

cent of the total student population in the national school system<br />

at the time. In the same year, the Ministry of Education estimated<br />

around 200,000 students with disabilities in the primary school<br />

population had gone unidentified; while some 23,000 children<br />

with disabilities were out of school.<br />

The overall percentage of children with disabilities within the<br />

total student population in the national school system is around<br />

1%. The number of children with disabilities enrolled in inclusive<br />

education programmes declined from 6,360 in 2010 to 562 in<br />

2012. The 562 children with disabilities enrolled in the Inclusive<br />

Education Programme in mainstream classes in 2012 represents:<br />

• around 1% out of the 50,738 children with disabilities<br />

enrolled in special needs education in that year;<br />

• around 0.01% out of the 5,086,180 students (both with<br />

and without disabilities) who were enrolled in the national<br />

education system in that year.<br />

Hope For The Future<br />

Special needs education in <strong>Malaysia</strong> is quite a way off when<br />

compared to any of the more advanced nations in the world.<br />

However, as in all matters pertaining to an ever-evolving society,<br />

there is always room for advancement, room for improvement,<br />

being the optimist that I am. Inclusive education needs to<br />

be driven by strategic partnerships between diverse actors,<br />

including families and communities, local and national NGOs,<br />

international organisations and governments, and in particular<br />

organisations of people with disabilities, families and children<br />

with disabilities themselves.<br />

In short, all of us need to play our part. After all, we are all brothers<br />

and sisters of a common Mother – Earth. We need to be able<br />

to find closure. We need to be able to heal. We need to come<br />

together as one for the betterment of each other.<br />
