Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify whether or not there was a significant difference in the variables of student centralization, teacher questioning, teacher modelling and high-level thinking skills of students based on class stream for low-performing school students in Kudat, Sabah, Malaysia. This quantitative study used a survey method involving 250 respondents from the stated population. This study referred to the Absorption Learning Model (Swartz, Fischer and Parks, 1998) as the basis model for the study. The data were analyzed using the T-test with Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 22. Based on the class stream in Kudat district, the findings showed that there was a significant difference in the involvement of student centralization between Science and non-Science students; there was no significant difference in teachers' questioning between Science and non-Science students; there was no significant difference in teacher modelling between Science and non-Science students; there was a significant difference in thinking skills level between Science and non-Science students. It is hoped that this study can provide useful inputs for improving the practice of teaching infusion of teachers to students from every class stream in Kudat region in particular and throughout Malaysia in general.

Summary

Introduction

The Islamic Education Philosophy (FPI) was founded with the primary goal of forming primary and secondary schools’ Muslim students through the learning environment at school. Through the perspective of educational practice, basic elements such as simple activities, questioning and modelling are properly implemented to enable a learning to be active or at least partially active. It is an early step for a large number of student groups with high dependency on teachers before continuing with full active learning such as presentation, debate, planning and organizing events. Being preoccupied with the school places students with the best results in the lower secondary level assessment as a priority to be enrolled in the science stream classes unless there is a demand from the students as a factor of interest, talent and tendency in the flow other than science such as painting, accounting and business. Teachers are committed in providing the best education for the students to make them useful to the family, serving the religion as a da'i at least in small groups
