PENDEKATAN PEMBELAJARAN AMALI DALAM PROGRAM JELAJAH KE SEKOLAH: ANALISIS KUALITATIF MAKLUM BALAS PESERTA

Kajian ini bertujuan meneroka impak Program Jelajah ke sekolah yang dianjurkan oleh Fakulti Sains Sosial, Universiti Islam Selangor (UIS) ke sekolah-sekolah menengah melalui pendekatan pembelajaran secara hands-on terhadap minat, aspirasi, dan kefahaman pelajar tentang bidang Komunikasi Massa (Mass Communication) dan Pengajian Bahasa Inggeris. Data dikumpulkan melalui temubual mendalam yang dilaksanakan di tiga buah sekolah iaitu SMK Dusun Nanding, SMK Sijangkang Jaya, dan SMK Taman Selayang. Analisis temubual digunakan untuk mengenal pasti tema utama daripada maklum balas peserta dan pemerhatian fasilitator. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan tiga tema utama: (i) perubahan aspirasi pelajar daripada tiada hala tuju kepada mempunyai cita-cita, (ii) peningkatan kefahaman terhadap dunia kerjaya sebenar, dan (iii) kesedaran tentang kepentingan pendidikan tinggi serta pengukuhan komunikasi antara pihak sekolah dan pelajar. Kajian ini menegaskan bahawa pendekatan hands-on berpotensi meningkatkan minat pelajar terhadap bidang tertentu, membentuk aspirasi kerjaya, dan mengukuhkan peranan universiti sebagai penghubung antara dunia akademik dan komuniti sekolah. Implikasi kajian mencadangkan program sebegini diperluas bagi memperkukuh kolaborasi universiti dan sekolah serta menyokong agenda pembangunan modal insan. This study aims to explore the impact of the outreach programmes organised by the Faculty of Social Sciences, Universiti Islam Selangor (UIS), at secondary schools through a hands-on learning approach aimed at fostering students’ interests, aspirations, and understanding in the fields of Mass Communication and English Language Studies. The data was collected through in-depth interviews conducted at three schools, namely SMK Dusun Nanding, SMK Sijangkang Jaya, and SMK Taman Selayang. The interviews were analysed to identify key themes from participant feedback and facilitator observations. The findings revealed three main themes: (i) a shift in students' aspirations from having no direction to developing ambitions, (ii) increased understanding of the real-world career landscape, and (iii) greater awareness of the importance of higher education and strengthened communication between schools and students. The study highlights that a hands-on approach can enhance students' interest in specific fields, shape their career aspirations, and reinforce the university’s role as a bridge between academia and the school community. The implications suggest that such programmes should be expanded to strengthen university–school collaboration and support the human capital development agenda.
