The Humanism Approach Among Teachers to Increase Indigenious Students Participation

Abstract

Native education is still a major issue even though the country has reached 65 years of independence. Previous studies show that the performance of Native pupils is poor in studies, there are discipline problems and absenteeism among school students. However, the percentage of Native pupils students in Malaysia has shown an increase in recent times. In fact, records show that there is an Native school almost with up to 100 percent pupils attendance at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sayong Pinang, Kulaijaya, Johor. Therefore, the writing of this article explains about the study related to the humanistic characteristics shown by the teacher in managing activities in the school according to the students of the school through several programs carried out by the school management. The study uses a qualitative approach by applying the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) involving informants who were purposefully selected among school students totaling 9 people. The ten humanistic characteristics found in this study are the teacher's appearance, kind-hearted, friendly, caring, firm, caring, creative, funny, responsible and diligent. This writing gives implications to educators in helping to improve student education development plans, especially for the Native Pupils in Malaysia.
