The Perception of Teachers and Adults Students on Religious Classes for Adults in Negara Brunei Darussalam
Abstract
The study into “The Perception of Teachers and Adult Students on Religious Classes for Adults (RCA) in Negara Brunei Darussalam” aims at finding out the extent of teachers’ and students’ insights on the establishment of the class -RCA itself, its curriculum, the teaching and learning approach. This study has yielded many promising research findings that can help clarify the significance of the RCA in providing the society with invaluable opportunities as well as a place for them to gain religious knowledge. Both teachers and students in the study believe that it would be more effective for the RCA to be promulgated to the society by means of the mass media. Moreover, the study shows that the majority of the respondents (especially the students) agree that the subjects, the curriculum and the textbooks, which are currently taught and used by the teachers, are pertinent to the respondents’ basic needs. Further, both students and teachers in the study also believe that the primary focus of the teaching and learning process in the RCA is on the understanding and mastery of fundamental religious matters. The respondents in this study comprise of 26 teachers from Brunei and Muara, Tutong and Belait Districts, and 140 adult students from Brunei and Muara District. This study is conducted by means of a questionnaire and interviews to all the concerned respondents. The collected data are analysed in two ways: by applying qualitative analysis on the recorded interview data and quantitative analysis for the questionnaire.
