Persepsi Pelajar Terhadap Pengaplikasian Pendekatan Naratif dalam Pengajaran Kaedah Penyelidikan di Institusi Pengajian Tinggi (Student Perceptions of the Application of Narrative Approach in Teaching Research Methods in Higher Education Institutions)

Abstract

Pendekatan pengajaran yang bersesuaian penting untuk memastikan objektif pembelajaran tercapai. Pengkajian terhadap sesuatu pendekatan dijalankan secara berterusan dalam kalangan pendidik dalam usaha memastikan pengajaran pensyarah dapat dijalankan secara berkesan, seterusnya membolehkan pelajar memahami isi pelajaran dengan lebih baik. Oleh itu, kajian kes ini dijalankan bertujuan untuk meneliti kesesuaian pendekatan naratif diaplikasikan dalam kalangan pelajar di institusi pengajian tinggi. Pemilihan sampel kajian dibuat secara bertujuan apabila semua 62 pelajar yang mendaftar kursus ini terlibat. Kesesuaian pendekatan naratif diaplikasikan dalam pengajaran pada peringkat pengajian tinggi ini dibuat berdasarkan Teori Paradigma Naratif yang dikemukakan oleh Fisher (1978) yang menyatakan bahawa naratif membolehkan pelajar berkongsi dan menerima cerita yang sesuai dengan individu. Cerita-cerita berkait dengan proses menjalankan penyelidikan ini dijangka dapat membantu pelajar merancang dan menghasilkan penyelidikan mereka sendiri. Kesesuaian naratif ini dinilai berdasarkan komen pelajar terhadap penilaian pengajaran pensyarah. Hasilnya, pelajar berpandangan naratif yang digunakan oleh pensyarah kursus dapat membantu memberikan penerangan yang jelas, membolehkan pelajar memahami topik yang dikuliahkan, menimbulkan rasa ramah dan mesra serta membuatkan pelajar seronok mempelajari kursus ini. Dapatan kajian ini membuktikan bahawa naratif sesuai diaplikasikan dalam kalangan pelajar di institusi pengajian tinggi. Oleh itu, walaupun naratif boleh dikatakan sesuai diaplikasi dalam semua peringkat pengajian, namun penelitian yang lebih lanjut dan jenis naratif yang dikongsikan juga perlu disaring agar bersesuaian dengan peringkat umur pelajar. Hal ini kerana sekiranya pensyarah menggunakan naratif yang kurang sesuai, ini bukan sahaja tidak membantu kepada pemahaman pelajar terhadap isi pengajaran sebaliknya, akan mengurangkan fokus mereka mempelajari kursus tersebut.

Abstract: An appropriate teaching approach is important to ensure that learning objectives are achieved. Studies on an approach are continuously conducted among educators in an effort to ensure that lecturers' teaching can be carried out effectively, thus enabling students to better understand the content of the lesson. Therefore, this case study was conducted to examine the suitability of the narrative approach applied in the BBM3413 Malay Language Research Methods course among students in higher education institutions. This case study was conducted throughout 14 weeks of lectures in the first semester of the 2024/2025 session. The selection of the study sample was made purposively when all 62 students who registered for this course were involved. The suitability of the narrative approach applied in teaching at the higher education level was made based on the Narrative Paradigm Theory presented by Fisher (1978) which states that narrative allows students to share and receive stories that are appropriate for the individual. Stories related to the process of conducting this research are expected to help students plan and produce their own research. The suitability of this narrative was assessed based on students' comments on the lecturer's teaching evaluation. As a result, students believe that the narrative used by the course lecturers can help provide clear explanations, enable students to understand the topics being taught, create a sense of friendliness and friendliness, and make students enjoy learning this course. The findings of this study prove that narrative is suitable for application among students in higher education institutions and not just among children. Therefore, although narrative can be said to be suitable for application at all levels of study, further research and the type of narrative shared also need to be screened to be appropriate for the age of the students. This is because if the lecturer uses a narrative that is not appropriate, this will not only not help students understand the content of the lesson, but will also reduce their focus on learning the course.
