| description | Teacher autonomy in Malaysia is gaining attention among policy makers, making it a key
element in School Transformation Programs (SLP25). However, research on teacher
autonomy in Malaysia is still scarce and have minimal interest among social science
researchers compared to other countries. The purpose of this study was to collect and analyse
previous studies on teacher autonomy in Malaysia. The objective of this study was to
investigate the extent, issues, and challenges of teacher autonomy in Malaysia. There were
three research questions in this review, (1) How was teacher autonomy level in Malaysia? (2)
What type of teacher autonomy implemented in Malaysia? and (3) What are the issues and
challenges faced by Malaysian teachers regarding teacher autonomy? To address the
research questions, a systematic literature review was performed using four-phase in
Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA). Findings
show that despite excercising guided autonomy, teachers in Malaysia show an encouraging
level of autonomy. Overall, the main challenges related to teacher autonomy are teachers’
attitudes and behaviours toward given autonomy |
