Persediaan guru pelatih Geografi dalam perlaksanaan pengajaran dan pembelajaran di rumah semasa latihan mengajar (Preparation of Geography trainee teachers in the implementation of home teaching and learning during teaching practice)

Abstract

Peralihan mendadak daripada pengajaran secara bersemuka kepada Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran dari Rumah (PdPR) semasa pandemik Covid-19 telah menimbulkan masalah yang ketara kepada guru dan pelajar. Guru bukan sahaja perlu menyesuaikan diri dengan pengajaran dalam talian, malah guru juga harus mempelajari maklumat dan kemahiran baru agar mereka mahir menggunakan IT. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan mengkaji kesediaan dan perlaksanaan PdPR dalam kalangan guru pelatih Geografi semasa menjalani Latihan Mengajar (LM). Pendekatan kuantitatif mengunakan reka bentuk tinjauan melibatkan soal selidik telah diaplikasikan dalam kajian ini. Seramai 131 orang guru pelatih Geografi dijadikan sebagai sampel kajian dengan menggunakan teknik pensampelan rawak berstrata. Analisis deskriptif (min, peratus, kekerapan) dan analisis inferensi (korelasi Pearson, regresi linear) digunakan untuk menjawab persoalan kajian. Hasil menunjukkan tahap pengetahuan, sikap, kemahiran, motivasi dan perlaksanaan PdPR dalam kalangan guru pelatih semasa LM berada pada tahap tinggi. Analisis korelasi Pearson menunjukkan terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan antara perlaksanaan PdPR dalam kalangan guru pelatih Geografi semasa LM terhadap pengetahuan, sikap, kemahiran dan motivasi. Hasil analisis regresi menunjukkan bahawa kemahiran guru pelatih lebih banyak memberi pengaruh iaitu sebanyak 36.7 peratus terhadap perlaksanaan PdPR dalam kalangan guru pelatih Geografi semasa latihan mengajar. Manakala pengetahuan guru pelatih dan sikap guru pelatih masing-masing memberikan pengaruh sumbangan sebanyak 1.7 peratus dan 6.5 peratus sahaja. Implikasi kajian ini adalah pihak sekolah dan universiti dapat menilai sejauhmana kesediaan dan keberkesanan PdPR yang dilakukan oleh guru pelatih dalam rangka menyiapkan mereka menjadi guru sebenar suatu hari nanti.

The abrupt shift from face-to-face teaching to Online Distance Learning (ODL) the Covid-19 pandemic has posed significant problems to teachers and students. Teachers not only need to adapt to online teaching, but teachers also need to learn new information and skills so that they are proficient in using IT. Thus, this study aims to examine the readiness and implementation of ODL among trainee teachers of Geography during teaching training. A quantitative approach with survey design involving questionnaires used in this study. 131 Geography trainee teachers were sampled for the study using stratified random sampling technique. Descriptive analysis (mean, percentage, frequency) and inferential analysis (Pearson correlation, linear regression) used to answer each study question. The findings of the study show that the level of knowledge, attitude, skills, motivation and implementation of ODL among trainee teachers during teaching practice is at a high level. Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive relationship between implementation of ODL among Geography trainee teachers during teaching practice on the knowledge, attitude, skills and motivation. The results of regression analysis showed that the skills of trainee teachers were more influential which was 36.7 percent on the implementation of PdPR among Geography trainee teachers during teaching practice. While the knowledge and attitude of trainee teachers gave the influence of contribution of 1.7 percent and 6.5 percent respectively. The implication of this study is that schools and universities can assess the extent to which the readiness and effectiveness of PdPR done by trainee teachers in order to prepare them to become real teachers one day.
