| dc.description.abstract | The development and implementation of a curriculum must be examined from the approach that would meet the socio-cultural and developmental needs of all children in our community. In view of this, the present study develops a community based education programme so as to empower Iban parents to assist preschoolers learning Iban oral tradition and literacy acquisition in the Iban language. The qualitative research methodology was employed to gather the required data. The ethnographic case study was chosen as the research design of the study, utilizing three core instruments: observations, interviews and parents’ diaries for the purpose of data triangulation. Prior to conducting the case study, four books on Iban augury, myth and legends were produced by the researcher with the help of Iban elders and thorough research. These books were written in the forms of rhymes and short stories and were used as the reading materials for the community-based education programme. The findings of this study show that all of the parents and preschoolers liked the four books and parents perceived that the books are suitable for the preschoolers aged 5 to 6 years old. The incorporation of attractive pictures and figurative language has made the books well-accepted by the preschoolers and their parents. In addition, it emerged that parents within the community are competent in delivering the community-based programme with heavy emphasis on three types of literacy activities namely reading aloud, drawing and writing. The programme has enhanced children’s emergent literacy through the interaction of six elements in decoding and comprehension. | en_US |
