  • Fostering Toddlers’ Confidence Development in their Early Childhood Literacy
    Awang Rozaimie, Aiza Johari, Abdul Ismail, Norseha Unin
    Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Education, 2026
    The Reading Seed Programme (RSP) is an early childhood literacy initiative that has strong potential to support UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) by fostering a culture of reading. This programme, which begins as early as pregnancy, has demonstrated its effectiveness in building toddlers' confidence in reading through parental involvement. This study employed purposive sampling to gather data from parents involved in the RSP, revealing that the programme has a beneficial effect on children's early literacy development. However, several areas require improvement to enhance its effectiveness. These include tailoring the programme to individual learning needs, integrating robust monitoring systems, strengthening training for facilitators, establishing a strategic roadmap for outcomes, and clarifying the programme's attitudinal goals.
  • The Reading Seed Program (RSP)’s Efficacy in Fostering Toddlers’ Reading Habits in their Early Childhood Literacy
    Awang Rozaimie, Norseha Unin, Aiza Johari, Abdul Ismail
    Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Education, 2025
    The Reading Seed Programme (RSP), an in-house literacy program inaugurated by Sarawak's State Library (PUSTAKA Negeri Sarawak, Malaysia), has the potential to become the country's primary literacy initiative, particularly in terms of fostering a reading culture. The purpose of this paper is to empirically establish the reliability of survey measures as well as the feasibility of this toddler literacy program. The findings revealed that RSP capable enculturates effectively and has a significant positive impact on toddlers' reading ability. Nonetheless, the early childhood reading literacy program must consider each learner's unique learning style, incorporate updates or monitoring systems, improve training, develop a strategic plan outlining RSP outcomes, and clearly communicate the program's attitudinal components in relation to the desired results.
  • Sustainability of Oral History: A Case of SRK Pulo at Kampung Semarang
    Awang Rozaimie
    Kemanusiaan, 2024
    History is data regarding historical instances of human activity. This study anticipates the cultural memory around the primary school, SRK Pulo, which was relocated while retaining its previous name. One of the ancient Malay settlements along the Sarawak riverbank in Kuching is called Kampung Pulo. Questions are being asked about the SRK Pulo, its origin and other related histories to acknowledge. Further study, especially oral history inquiries, might help clear up any lingering questions regarding a historical truth or knowledge gap. For the benefit of future research, the cultural memory of intangible cultures needs to be preserved and documented through oral history research. To highlight historical local stories as the major focus in a qualitative manner, this study utilised Husserlism in Transcendental Phenomenology (TPh). The positive takeaways from oral history investigations into the genesis of SRK Pulo could serve as a guideline for the younger generation to respect and learn from the past to establish evocative living in the future. The sustainability of indigenous peoples in preserving their sociocultural ways of life and oral traditions depends on this study.
  • CONSERVING THE JADI MALI RITUAL FOR CULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY: A CASE STUDY OF THE IBAN COMMUNITY IN SARAWAK

    Kajian Malaysia, 2023
    The ancient practice of “jadi mali” among the indigenous Iban tribe in Sarawak is a custom and tradition birthed with the aim of attaining a marriage free from any unwanted catastrophe due to violating a taboo. This article suggests the protocols of “jadi mali” ritual as a vital intangible culture passed down from our ancestors’ knowledge to be preserved for future references. It adopts a philosophical approach of Husserlism of Transcendental Phenomenology (TPh) to qualitatively examine the issue of “jadi mali.” The affirmative lessons obtained from this ancient ritual may act as a rule for the younger Iban generation to be mindful of their courtship and to choose the right life partner in the future. The ancient ritual of “jadi mali” indicates a need for mutual respect and teaches intensive empathy about life’s details for genetic sustainability. This article contributes by providing a record for future reference on the ancient ritual of “jadi mali” among the Iban indigenous community in Sarawak. Foremost, this article is important for conserving ancestral knowledge.
