| Summary: | <p>A competency model for primary school teachers implementing authentic learning</p><p>approach was developed through this study. This study had identified and evaluated</p><p>the effects of mediator variables and moderator variables on the study constructs. The</p><p>research design is mixed method approach. In total there are five objectives to be</p><p>achieved in this study. Constructs and research instruments were constructed based on</p><p>a review of the literature on previous competency theories and models, the results of</p><p>the analysis of focus group interviews and expert panel evaluation. The developed</p><p>instrument was used for data collection from primary school teachers in Perak (n =</p><p>565) with a response rate of 52 %. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) statistical</p><p>testing through IBM SPSS Amos software was used to analyse the main statistics of</p><p>this study to obtain parameter estimates and model testing which in turn will produce</p><p>a proposed model that meets the specified fit index. The main findings of the study</p><p>have successfully identified that Assessment Knowledge (ASK), Curriculum</p><p>Knowledge (CUR), Classroom Management Skills (MAN), Communication Skills</p><p>(COM) and Teacher Sensitivity (TES) are the main factors influencing the</p><p>Professional Commitment (PRO) and Authentic Learning Competency (ALCoM)</p><p>significantly. The overall SEM analysis had identified that the variables ASK, CUR,</p><p>MAN, COM, and TES accounted for 66% of the variance for PRO and 73% of</p><p>ALCoM. The study had also identified that PRO acted as mediator variable between</p><p>ASK, CUR, MAN, COM, TES and ALCoM. Gender and Work Experience constructs</p><p>were the moderating variables in this study. In conclusion, this study has been able to</p><p>identify the components involved in developing the competency model implementing</p><p>the Authentic Learning approach amongst the primary school teachers, which can</p><p>support the process of instilling 21st Century Skills contextually in line with the</p><p>requirements of the Malaysian education system. The development of the competency</p><p>model can serve as a constructive guide to policy makers, MOE and other stakeholders</p><p>to intensify the development of professional teaching competencies and further</p><p>increase the level of knowledge, skills and values needed by primary school teachers</p><p>to implement Authentic Learning approach based on ALCoM Model.</p> |
