Adapting to Home-Based Teaching and Learning (PDPR) among Malay Language Teachers: A Literature Overview

Abstract

This study aims to identify the main challenges faced by Malay Language teachers in adapting to home-based teaching and learning (PdPR) during the COVID-19 pandemic and to examine the best strategies and approaches to improve the effectiveness of its implementation. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design based on the PRISMA model involving 25 articles from local journals, of which 12 articles were selected based on inclusion criteria such as validity, Malaysian context, and focus on Malay Language teachers. The study population comprises primary and secondary Malay Language teachers, while purposive sampling was conducted on articles that met the focus of the study. The study findings show that the main challenges of PdPR involve issues related to technology access, teacher workload, student engagement, assessment difficulties, teacher professional development, and curriculum adaptation. This study is also expected to propose practical strategies to help teachers adapt to digital learning. Importantly, this study makes a valuable contribution to education administrators by assisting in formulating more holistic policies and professional training for Malay Language teachers. The results of this study also introduce new knowledge about the integration of psychosocial, technological, and pedagogical elements in the context of Malay Language primary and secondary education, an area that has not been extensively explored previously.
