| Summary: | The present study was conducted in order to discover the overall perception of
the youth which was represented by 79 UiTM Penang Malay students
regarding the actions that could be taken to expand the mastery of Jawi at
various levels of education in Malaysia. This research employed a quantitative
method via the administration of a questionnaire containing 20 items to each
respondent involved. The items were designed to answer the research question
of the study, “What is the perception of UiTM Penang Malay students towards
the initiatives that can be taken in order to expand the teaching and learning
of Jawi at various levels of education in Malaysia?” The results revealed that
most of the respondents contributed positive views towards the exposure and
practice of Jawi at various levels of education and supported some initiatives
suggested for expanding the teaching and learning of Jawi. For example, 33
respondents (41.8%, M= 4.24, SD= 0.738) strongly agreed with item 9 (“In
my opinion, Jawi subject needs to be offered at all levels of learning (primary,
secondary and tertiary levels) so that its learning can be more
comprehensive”). Obviously, the respondents in majority favor the teaching
and learning of Jawi to the point that they think it should be made a subject
that is offered at all educational levels. |
