Teaching and Learning Techniques for Stateless Student: A Preliminary Study

Abstract

In Malaysia, stateless children who cannot access mainstream schools can receive informal education at alternative schools established by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). However, these alternative schools face some challenges in terms of teaching expertise, infrastructure, financial resources, and learning environment. They also tend to lack the implementation of structured teaching and learning methods. Necessarily, alternative schools need to develop teaching and learning techniques that are more flexible, inclusive, and child friendly. This research aims to analyze appropriate teaching and learning techniques for stateless children by employing a qualitative research approach using content analysis. The findings and results show four techniques that are considered effective for stateless children that are project-based learning, interactive learning, learning through immersion approach and communities best learning.
