Malaysian Curriculum and International Approach



Malaysia.

National Standard Preschool Curriculum ( NSPC ) is used in early childhood education in Malaysia. The purpose is to develop the children’s potential to the fullest, in an integrated manner, addressing physical, spiritual, social and intellectual attributes.  NSPC advises that this aim can be achieved by preparing a safe and conducive learning environment. Also, NSPC encourage children to use ICT and communicate in accountable and ethical manners by applying appropriate ICT resources for improving their learning process.




Australia.

The Australian Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) supports the foundation for quality teaching and learning in early childhood education and childcare settings in Australia. The EYLF have goals and aims, and learning outcomes targeted for children that emphasis the importance of communication and language development. They believe that the use of ICT is promoted for children in doing investigation and problem solving. Besides, EYLF was developed to assist educators working in partnerships with the families to minimize young children’s potential and build a strong foundation for children to success.



Japan.


July 2011 Japan is ranked as top four in terms of the Digital Reading Assessment identified by reading through the screen, information retrieval and the utilization of ICT in education, and many people in Japan as well as those who are concerned about how to utilize in existing subject matters. The conception of the spiral curriculum has not as yet been explicated in detail or at micro-levels in ICT education, but it appears to hold much promise for the future curriculum design efforts, since school curriculum in present and future society marked by the information-oriented and lifelong learning society should consider and follow the student psychological developmental stage focusing on the learning style and teaching style learned from the development of science education curriculum and teacher education and training curriculum as well.
