mSET ~ THE NEED FOR BRANDINGJack Trout a world renowned marketing guru wrote a book entitled ‘Differentiate or Die’. It is all about the need to have a ‘Unique Selling Proposition’ (USP) in order for companies or organisations to survive in the world of ‘tyranny of choices’. People, as consumer or professionals, have many options to choose from for them to buy products, services or for that matter, organisations they want to affiliate with. These USP provide the basic attributes or characteristics of the Brand. Once the brand has been established, which is represented by the logo, it will invoke consumers to associate a particular brand with certain attributes, characteristics of the products or services. As an example in the car industry, the Volvo brand will invoke safety and Ferrari is associated with speed while BMW is considered the ultimate driving machine.

In a sense the brand provides a consumer with the ease of making a decision to buy a particular product or services. This can only be established when consumers have undergone the experience or are assured of these attributes, characteristics or unique selling propositions. These are what is called the ‘brand promise and brand delivery’. The marketing collaterals and programmes create a certain perception or anticipated attributes of the products or services offered, or in other words the “brand promise” but the actual measure is in the real attributes of the product or service, the brand delivery. Any mismatched or under delivery from what is anticipated will create a bad branding of the company. If there is no structured way or conscious efforts made on branding, the consumer or stakeholders will end up with their own “perception” of the company or organization.

It is imperative for mSET especially at this relatively early stage of its formation to address the issue of branding in order to differentiate itself of similar organizations, to be relevant and how the society wants to be represented or perceived.

In a previous workshop organized to solicit feedback on the Branding of mSET (Newsletter issue 6), several attributes were

proposed to represent the mSET Brand. Among them:

1. Sustainability/Green2. ‘Authority’ on Technology & Engineering issues3. Innovative & Creative4. Relevant5. Effective Networking Group6. DynamicLeading Change

The next step would be for the Corporate Communication Committee to come up with a Brand Communication Plan. The plan will among others include the following:

If the Brand Communication Plan can be undertaken effec-tively we should be able to establish “Brand Marriage” where stakeholders will be mSET Brand Ambassadors; people that will articulate on what mSET stands for and speak well of the mSET brand and actively partici-pate in mSET programmes.

Dear mSET members,

Happy New Year 2011! Welcome to the 9th issue of the mSET

Newsletter.

This year promises to be a very busy year indeed for mSET as

the society continues to develop and grow.

In this issue we feature an opinion column by Tuan Haji

Zaharuddin Bin Saidon, Chair for mSET’s Standing Committee

on Corporate Affairs and Council Member, entitled “mSET ~ The

need for branding”. The column highlight’s the importance of branding for mSET as a

society in order to differentiate itself from similar organizations and how the society

wants to be represented and perceived. This is a very important aspect that we need to

consider and it is interesting how mSET is developing a ‘brand’ in my opinion, with

attributes similar to the ones highlighted in the column such as ‘sustainability/green’

and ‘effective networking group’.

Past events featured in this issue are events that have been organized by mSET interest

groups; a workshop organized by the Malaysia Robotics and Automation Interest Group

(MyRAIG) and a seminar organized by the Ergonomics Interest Group (MEIG) together

��������������� ��� ���������

Pendidikan Teknik Dan Vokasional Di Malaysia

JAN-MAR 2011

pg

Di Malaysia sistem Pendidikan Teknik & Vokasional dan Latihan adalah ditawarkan di peringkat institusi awam dan swasta. Ianya lebih dikenali sebagai “ Technical & Vocational Education and Training “ ( TVET ). Menurut Jailani et al. (2009) pendidikan teknikal dan vokasional bermula daripada latihan kemahiran yang paling asas kepada satu pengetahuan kognitif yang tertinggi meliputi aplikasi matematik dan sains. Terdapat lima tahap kelayakan kelulusan meliputi Sijil, Diploma, Ijazah, Sarjana dan Phd. Setiap tahap kelulusan kemudiannya dibahagikan mengikut peranan dan halatuju masing-masing.

Menurut Ramlee Musthapha dan Muhammad Hussein (2010) sejarah perkem-bangan Pendidikan Teknikal dan Vokasional di Malaysia di bahagikan kepada 2 fasa iaitu:

i) Sebelum merdekaii) Selepas merdeka

Pada tahun 1906 Jabatan Kerja Awam, negeri-negeri Melayu Bersekutu telah menubuhkan Sekolah Teknik Treacher di Kuala Lumpur. Sekolah teknik pertama ini bertujuan untuk melatih pembantu teknik (Melayu) di Jabatan Kerja Awan dan Keretapi. Walaubagaimanapun sekolah ini ditutup pada permulaan Perang Dunia Pertama. Pada tahun 1918 sekolah dibuka semula tetapi dengan mengalami beberapa perubahan sehingga tahun 1931 pengurusan sekolah ini ditukar daripada Jabatan Kerja Awam kepada Jabatan Pelajaran. Sekolah Teknik Treacher pernah menjadi Institut Persekutuan pada tahun 1935 dan dinaikkan taraf menjadi Kolej Teknik pada tahun 1941. Kolej Teknik ini menawarkan kursus Bangunan, Kejuruteraan Elektrik, Kejuruteraan Mekanikal dan Teknologi Radio. Pelajar-pelajar Kolej Teknik yang cemerlang telah menerima biasiswa Overseas Higher Education dan biasiswa Colonial Development and Welfare untuk melan-jutkan pelajaran di peringkat Ijazah di United Kingdom.

Di samping itu terdapat dua jenis sekolah lagi yang wujud iaitu Sekolah Tukang dan Sekolah Pertanian. Sekolah Tukang yang pertama di tubuhkan pada tahun 1926 dan turut sama mengalami perkembangan sehingga tahun 1941, Sekolah Tukang dan Kolej Teknik membuat kerjasama pembelajaran dari segi amali dan teori. Manakala Sekolah Pertanian dibuka pada tahun 1931 di Serdang dengan menyediakan kursus di peringkat diploma berada di bawah pengawasan Jabatan Pertanian. Selain itu wujud Sekolah Sains Domestik, Sekolah Perdagangan, Sekolah Perhutanan dan lain-lain sebelum merdeka.

Selepas negara Malaysia mencapai kemerdekaaan pada tahun 1957, pendidikan teknik mengalami tranformasi. Menurut Ramlee Musthapha dan Muhammad Hussein (2010) lagi, Laporan Rahman Talib (1960) menyatakan bahawa Pelajaran Teknik hendaklah dikelola dan dikembangkan melalui 3 peringkat seperti cadangan Jawatankuasa Pelajaran 1956 iaitu :

i) Maktab Teknikii) Sekolah Teknikiii) Sekolah Tukang

Selain daripada itu, laporan ini juga mencadangkan supaya maktab guru teknik ditubuhkan pada tahun 1962. Maktab Teknik, Kuala Lumpur menawarkan kursus diperingkat diploma untuk melatih Juruteknik mengisi kekosongan jawatan kerajaan di dalam bidang :

i) Kejuruteraanii) Seni Binaiii) Ilmu Ukur

Manakala Sekolah Tukang disediakan di luar bandar menyediakan kursus selama tiga bulan di dalam bidang :

i) Ilmu Pertukanganii) Pertanianiii) Perkebunaniv) Ternakanv) Rumah Tangga

Pada tahun 1965, pendidikan di peringkat menengah rendah telah berubah kepada corak aneka jurusan berasaskan kepada kurikulum yang terdiri daripada mata pelaran teras dan elektif. Pelajar diberi peluang memilih satu bidang pelajaran pravokasional mengikut kecenderungan dan minat masing-masing melalui matapelajaran elektif yang terdiri daripada mata pelajaran :

i) Seni Perusahaanii) Sains Rumahtanggaiii) Sains Pertanianiv) Perdagangan

Walaubagaimanapun terdapat kekangan iaitu kekurangan kemudahan pembe-lajaran maka kurikulum pelajaran elektif telah diubah strukturnya. Pada tahun 1978 wujud tiga jenis sekolah yang menjalankan operasi di Semenanjung (23 buah), Sabah (2 buah) dan Sarawak (3 buah) iaitu :

i) Sekolah Menengah Biasa (SMB)ii) Sekolah Menengah Teknik (SMT)iii) Sekolah Menengah Vokasional (SMV)

Sistem peperiksaan menengah atas yang diperkenalkan pada waktu itu adalah Sijil Rendah Pelajaran (SRP) untuk tingkatan tiga dan Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) untuk SMB dan SMT manakala Sijil Pelajaran Vokasional Malaysia (SPVM) untuk SMV bagi tingkatan lima. Pada waktu ini SMT dan SMV menitikberatkan matapelajaran di bidang masing-masing dan menerima pelajar tingkatan empat dan tingkatan lima sahaja. SPVM dilaksanakan secara dwi bahasa iaitu Bahasa Melayu dan Bahasa Inggeris, tetapi mulai tahun 1980 SPVM secara keseluruhan-nya dilaksanakan di dalam Bahasa Melayu.

Era 1990-an , pendidikan Teknikal dan Vokasional di Malaysia menjadi lebih mantap dengan wujudnya Rang Undang-Undang Pendidikan (1995 ) iaitu :

Sistem Pendidikan Kebangsaan dicorakkan untuk menghasilkan pendidikan bertaraf dunia dari segi kualiti untuk mencapai aspirasi negara.Falsafah Pendidikan Negara dijadikan landasan kepada dasar pendidikan kebangsaan.Tempoh pendidikan rendah adalah 5 hingga 7 tahun.Pendidikan prasekolah sebahagian daripada sistem pendidikan negara.Pendidikan teknik dan politeknik dipertingkatkan.Peruntukan disediakan bagi mengawal selia pendidikan swasta.Maktab pendidikan guru boleh mengendalikan program pengajian ijazah, diploma atau sijil atau bentuk-bentuk lain pengiktirafan kelayakan yang diberikan oleh mana-mana universiti atau institusi pendidikan tinggi lain di dalam atau luar negara.Membolehkan sekolah vokasional diubah kepada sekolah teknik dan politeknik boleh menjalankan program kerjasama dengan institusi-institusi pendidikan tinggi, perbadanan atau organisasi dalam dan luar negeri.

Pada tahun 1996, bilangan SMT dan politeknik serta kolej komuniti bantuan kerajaan telah ditambah. Matapelajaran Teknikal dan Vokasional juga telah ditawarkan di sekolah menengah akademik , sekolah berasrama penuh dan sekolah kawalan/utama di seluruh negara meliputi 451 kombinasi matapela-jaran. Terdapat 69 buah SMV dan SMT yang distruktur semula melalui pengguba-lan Pelan Tindakan Peningkatan Pengeluaran Tenaga Manusia Teknikal oleh Jabatan Pendidikan Teknik.

Menurut Ramlee Musthapa & Abu Abdullah (2002) pelbagai dasar dan inisiatif baru diperkenalkan pada pertengahan dekad sembilan puluhan seperti pembe-lajaran secara kontektual, pengintegrasian antara akademik dan vokasional, penubuhan kolej komuniti, politeknik dan universiti teknikal. Akhir sekali, beberapa buah SMT dan politeknik telah diubahsuai bagi pelajar-pelajar pendidikan khas seperti cacat penglihatan dan cacat pendengaran

7Berdasarkan kepada Unit Perancang Ekonomi (2006), Rancangan Malaysia Ke-Sembilan, pada peringkat pasca kedua, terdapat 20 buah Politeknik dan 34 buah Kolej Komuniti bantuan kerajaan diuruskan oleh Sektor Pendidikan Teknik dan Vokasional , Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi. Kini terdapat kira-kira 26 buah politeknik dan 38 buah kolej komuniti beroperasi di seluruh negara. Pendidikan ini dilaksanakan untuk menghasilkan graduan di tahap sijil dan diploma di dalam pelbagai bidang terutamanya di dalam bidang kejuruteraan dan teknologi. Walaubagaimanapun, pada tahap ketiga, terdapat 6 kolej universiti teknikal yang telah dimantapkan oleh kerajaan untuk memenuhi keperluan peningkatan permintaan untuk para teknikal berpendidikan tinggi. Di samping kolej komuniti, politeknik dan universiti, beberapa Kementerian Kerajaan juga melaksanakan aktiviti latihan kepada juruteknik / separa profesional dan pertukangan untuk para lepasan persekolahan. Ianya termasuk Kementerian Sumber Manusia, Kemente-rian Belian dan Sukan, Majlis Amanah Rakyat ( MARA ) dan agensi-agensi kerajaan lain untuk keperluan tertentu. Di sektor swasta pula , pada tahap ketiga, terdapat Universiti Kuala Lumpur ( UNiKL ) dan Kuala Lumpur Infrastructure University College ( KLIUC ) dan banyak lagi institusi pendidikan tinggi swasta menawarkan kursus berteknikal tinggi yang menghasilkan graduan di peringkat diploma dan ijazah pertama. Jadual 1 di bawah menunjukkan tahap kelayakan di dalam sistem Pendidikan Teknikal & Vokasional dan Latihan di Malaysia. Program-program pendidikan teknik dan vokasional di peringkat menengah atas dikendalikan oleh Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia mengambil pendekatan “ broad-based ” dan “ non-terminal approach “. Sistem pendidikan yang ada di Malaysia telah memberi-kan peluang kepada pelajar-pelajar teknikal dan vokasional untuk memiliki kelulusan di tahap ketiga seperti sijil, diploma atau Ijazah ( Jailani et al. 2009). Tujuannya adalah untuk menyediakan ilmu pengetahuan TVET dan menyediakan tenaga kerja untuk memenuhi pasaran kerjaya.

Salah satu cabaran terbesar di dalam usaha kerajaan membangunkan ekonomi negara adalah penyediaan ilmu pengetahuan dan kemahiran kerjaya rakyat selaras dengan arus perubahan globalisasi daripada segi teknologi dan keperluan tenaga kerja. Tenaga kerja yang dimaksudkan ialah golongan yang berkemahiran , flesibel dan kompeten di dalam melaksanakan tugas yang mana permintaan adalah tinggi bagi pasaran kerjaya. Untuk memenuhi kehendak pasaran kerjaya semasa sistem pendidikan Teknikal dan Vokasional dan Latihan (TVET) di Malaysia telah dirangka untuk menyediakan tenaga kerja berkemahiran meliputi pelbagai peringkat seperti Rajah 1.0. Peringkat kemahiran kelima iaitu Kemahiran Kejuruteraan secara umumnya melibatkan aplikasi pengetahuan sains dan matematik bagi menyelesaikan masalah-masalah praktikal (Ahmad, 2003). Menurut Jailani et al. (2009) Tenaga Pengajar yang disediakan di setiap peringkat juga memiliki kelayakan akademik dan kemahiran yang berbeza mengikut bidang masing-masing. Key Thrust di dalam Rancangan Malaysia Ke-Sembilan, 2006-2010 menggalakkan tenaga pengajar bekerjasama dengan pelbagai peringkat kumpulan-kumpulan sasaran, menggunakan pendekatan pembelajaran dan alat bantu mengajar yang baru di dalam usaha memperlengkapkan ilmu pengetahuan dan kemahiran tenaga kerja berkualiti selaras dengan kehendak dan keperluan pasaran kerjaya di peringkat negara mahupun antarabangsa.
