KEPERLUAN MODEL KURIKULUM BERASASKAN INTELEKTUALISME PERUBATAN HERBA MASA DEPAN

Abstract

Various initiatives can be implemented by the government in developing education for Orang Asli children to attract them to the school. In an effort to assist Orang Asli students in improving their knowledge and intellectualism in herbal medicine, the medical curriculum should be built for the future. This curriculum can be part of the curriculum taught in Orang Asli primary schools for the future because Orang Asli life cannot be separated from nature. They are very respectful of the environment and the close relationship that exists enables Orang Asli to survive in harmony. Mainstream curriculum as it stands today is said to lead to the rejection of the school system by Orang Asli students. This article will discuss the need to develop a model curriculum based on Orang Asli intellectualism in herbal medicine for the future Orang Asli primary school through a survey. The purpose of this study is to analyze the need for developing a model curriculum based on Orang Asli intellectualism in herbal medicine for future Orang Asli primary schools. Data collection was conducted through surveys of 100 teachers from the district of Petaling Perdana which have existing Orang Asli students. The findings indicate there is a needs-based curriculum model development based on Orang Asli intellectualism in herbal medicine for future Orang Asli primary school. This is because herbal medicine teaching and learning can meet the needs of student knowledge to prevent Orang Asli indigenous traditions, beliefs and culture from being eroded by the mainstream education system.
