| Summary: | The KSSR curriculum system introduced by Malaysia’s ministry of education is demanding teachers to build
pupils who will have the ability to carry out the learning process independently. To build pupils with the ability
to learn independently, the pre-class assignment is an implementation needed to give the learning autonomy back
to pupils. However, Wu (2017) stated that educators do not like students to do any pre-class assignment because
they are afraid that students who have already obtained a certain level of understanding towards the learning
materials would feel boring and show the signs of being not interested to listen during the in-class learning
process. Thus, this study aims to study the effect of pre-class assignment in enhancing Chinese language reading
comprehension mastery level of pupils from Chinese national-type schools in order to convince more educators
to start practicing the use of pre-class assignment. A group of 260 pupils from eight different schools in Kuala
Lumpur was involved in this study. A quantitative approach was used in this study and tests were developed and
used in this study. The result of this study showed that the implementation of pre-class assignments was effective
in helping pupils to master Chinese language reading comprehension. The finding of this research showed that the
pupils’ performance in Chinese language reading comprehension was not affected by the language used at home
and prior exposure of pupils towards pre-class assignments. |
