Description
Summary:The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception of teachers towards the implementation of MBMMBI policy at schools, to analyze the differences of the perception among the teachers and to analyze the factor that correlate with their perception. This study was done using self-developed questionnaire involving teachers in schools at Papar District. Data were collected from 10 public schools which consist of SMK, SK and SJKC. One hundred fifth teen primary and secondary school's teachers were selected. The result of the study show that majority of the samples were somewhat optimistic towards the implementation of MBMMBI (Upholding Malay Language and Strengthening Command in English Language) policy and the perception of the respondents from different types of schools, mother tongue, optimistic level and feedback received are significantly differ. On the other hand, there is no significance difference in perception between the respondents that teach different subject, ethnic, school medium of instruction, knowledge level and language preference. Other than that, the results also indicated that respondents' perceived MBMMBI was correlated with their attitude towards school medium of instruction, their language proficiency and their observation on the students' response whereas their attitude towards English Language has not correlate with their perception. From this study we can conclude that most of the respondents perceive MBMMBI policy positively. The study provides useful insight into the need to help concerned parties to better understand the teachers' perception and acceptance of the changes in the education policy and its implementation.
