Abstract

Kajian bagi mengenal pasti penglibatan dan motivasi siswa guru di Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia (IPGM) dengan aktiviti-aktiviti berbentuk kesukarelawan terhadap golongan Orang Kelainan Upaya (OKU) amat diperlukan untuk penyediaan maklumat asas kepada pihak pentadbir IPGM dalam merangka program berbentuk kesukarelawanan untuk menarik minat siswa guru memberi sumbangan dalam bentuk khidmat masyarakat terutamanya kepada golongan OKU. Kajian deskriptif ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji motivasi penglibatan siswa guru dalam akiviti kesukarelawan membantu golongan OKU yang melibatkan 70 orang responden siswa guru dari Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Kota Bharu (IPG KKB). Instrumen kajian yang digunakan adalah berbentuk soal selidik adaptasi daripada Teori Fungsi Katz (1960) dan diubahsuai berdasarkan Volunteer Function Inventory (VFI). Analisis data dijalankan menggunakan perisian IBM SPSS Statistics (Statistical Packages for Social Sciences) Version 19.0 bagi mendapatkan data peratus, kekerapan, min dan sisihan piawai. Kajian rintis dijalankan dan nilai Alpha Cronbach yang diperolehi adalah 0.92. Dapatan kajian mendapati fungsi nilai (min= 4.32) dan fungsi pemahaman (min=4.31) merupakan faktor motivasi tertinggi yang menyumbang kepada penglibatan siswa guru dalam aktiviti sukarelawan membantu golongan OKU. Hasil kajian juga mendapati faktor jantina tidak begitu mempengaruhi motivasi penglibatan siswa guru IPG KKB dalam aktiviti sukarelawan membantu OKU. Namun begitu, terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan antara siswa guru lelaki dan siswa guru perempuan bagi penglibatan yang bermotivasikan peningkatan (t=3.14, p<0.05), perlindungan (t=4.14, p<0.05) dan kerjaya (t=2.88, p<0.05). Dapatan kajian memberi implikasi terhadap keperluan perancangan program sukarelawan dan khidmat masyrakat terhadap golongan OKU oleh pihak pentadbir IPGM bagi memupuk semangat kesukarelawan yang positif dalam kalangan siswa guru.

Research on the identification of the involvement and motivation of pre service teachers at the Malaysian Teacher Education Institute (MTEI) with volunteerism activities for the Disabled is needed to provide basic information to MTEI administrators in designing volunteer programs to encourage pre service teachers to contribute in the community service activities especially to the disability group. This descriptive study aimed to identify the motivation of pre-service teachers’ involvement in volunteering activities to help the disabled and 70 respondents of pre-service teachers from the Kota Bharu Campus Teacher Education Institute (KBCTEI) were involved in this study. The instrument used was the adaptation questionnaire from the Katz Function Theory (1960) and was modified based on the Volunteer Function Inventory (VFI). Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics (Statistical Packages for Social Sciences) Version 19.0 software for Windows to obtain standardized data of percentages, frequency, mean and standard deviation. A pilot study was conducted and found that the Alpha Cronbach's alpha was 0.92. The study found that the value function (mean=4.32) and comprehension function (mean=4.31) were the highest motivating factors contributing to the involvement of pre-service teachers in volunteering to assist the disabled. The study also found that gender factors did not significantly influence the involvement of KBCTEI pre-service teachers in volunteering to assist the disabled. However, there was a significant difference between male and female pre-service teachers for improving function (t=3.14, p<0.05), protection function (t=4.14, p<0.05) and career (t=2.88, p<0.05). The findings of the study provide implications for the needs of volunteer program planning and services for people with disabilities by MITE administrators to foster a positive volunteer spirit among pre-service teachers.
