Research Title: “To articulate the effectiveness of Think-pair-share- strategy in enhancing
composition writing skill among standards of six pupils. A case study on Malaysian primary
education system”.
INTRODUCTION
1.0 Introduction
National education in Malaysia has developed a roadmap in order to transform system of
learning and teaching in the primary schools of education. The vision of 2020 has been created
and announced by the government (Lee, Li and Shahrill, 2018). It is the key element of
Multimedia Super Corridor with the objective to improve school administration system in order
to develop information-based society. Researcher has selected topic for identifying the Think-
pair-share strategies which is developed by Malaysian government in order enhance writing skill
among standard six pupils. In this paper, researcher has firstly created aims and objectives in
order to develop a path for reaching efficient study. Further, scholar has prepared the statement
of problem which will helps them to identify the basis of such study.
Moreover, scholar will provide effectiveness of the study by writing the perceptions of
different authors through their written articles and journals. In order to develop efficiency in
study the researcher will go to provide the result with appropriate facts and findings.
1.1 Background of the study
It is true that education in Malaysia is been overseen by its ministry. Education in such
country has been divided into preschool education, primary education, secondary education and
in tertiary education which is further more divided into private and public. Researcher has
selected this topic to discuss because characteristics in Malaysian society, its social and cultural
group existing side by side in order to maintain their culture and tradition (Gok, 2018). It is also
true that learning is a social construct which mean working in groups is by interacting with each
other. Researcher has selected this topic in order to identify collaborative learning which allow
student towards explanations so that their understanding will get developed in order to enhance
theor knowledge.
In this report case study of Malaysian primary education system has been chosen because
in accordance with the global point of view it has been found that Malaysia has not been ranked

highly in terms of education system. Therefore, researcher has selected the title so that proper
issues and new strategies get identified.
1.2 Statement of problem
It has been identified that candidates of UPSR examination of 2016 yet to achieve the
level in order to write the English Language Writing paper. It is also being found that 23% of
candidate in UPSR examination get failed in achieving minimum D grade while writing English
paper. Thus, with this analysis result revealed that candidates majorly lacking in writing accurate
and specific grammar sentences.
Another problem which has been identified is among the six-year pupil in order to
enhance their narrative writing (Fandy, 2019). They are mainly lacking in de-coding given key
notes and to analyse the images with appropriate key notes. Such students are also lacking in
completing the composition writing by formulating stories.
De-coding is the type of issue where children having an ability where by hearing sound
they will able to write language as well. Majorly young year six pupil are struggling while
meeting with the English vocabularies. It is also being found that due to their poor understanding
they are not able to recognise new vocabularies in which key notes are given in order to write a
story. This is the major problem which are associate with the six-year pupil.
1.3 Purpose of the study
The purpose of this study is to identify the teaching methods which are applied in both
public and private schools of the Malaysia. It is also the purpose of study to analyse the problems
which mainly facing by the six standard pupils where they are not able to write a proper
grammatically sentence with the correct form of English (Rosyana, Afrilianto and Senjayawati,
2018). Researcher has selected the topic in order to improve academic career whereby with this
practises' scholar will able to eliminate the gap in writing literature review. Another purpose of
this study is to help to exist market researcher by providing them efficient work with appropriate
facts and findings.
1.4 Research objective
 To articulate the effects of collaborative learning among Year Six pupils in their narrative
writing skills.

 To identify the term Think-pair-share strategies which enhancing composition writing
skills
 To determine the perceptions of year six pupils towards learning narrative writing with
the use of collaborating learning.
 To assess the feature of collaborative learning can be implemented as educating tool in
order to teach narrative writing.
 To suggest the effective reforms in education sector of Malaysian government.
1.5 Research Questions
 What are the different effects of collaborative learning among year six pupils in their
narrative writing skills?
 What is the term Think-pair-share strategies which is enhancing composition writing
skill?
 What are the perceptions which hold by six-year pupils towards learning narrative writing
with the use of collaborative learning?
 What are some features of collaborative learning which can be implemented as educating
tool to teach narrative writing?
1.6 Significance of the study
The study will be going to discuss the connection of teaching environment between
public and private school in order to identify the gaps which mainly Malaysian students are
struggling in their study. With the proper discussion of similarities and differences appropriate
pattern of the Malaysian learning environment case study has been selected. This is the study
which will support and improve learning of UPSR students (Sumekto, 2018). The strategies and
techniques which are used in this study will help scholar in eliminating the gap of writing the
research paper through which academic career will get improved. Moreover, with the alternative
suggestions and techniques, proper guidelines has been provided to students, teachers,
management of schools and nation so that suitable learning approach will get developed in order
to remove the gap in writing English paper.
1.7 Definition of the terms
Collaborative learning is the situation which en environment where two or more people
come together in order to learn something (Fandy, 2019). People which engaged in collaborative

learning will mainly provide each other resources and skills, evaluate ideas of each other,
monitor works of one another etc. It is mainly based on the model and knowledge which mainly
created within the population by which they will able to share each other experience in order to
enhance particular knowledge of areas.
Think-pair-share is a type of collaborative learning strategy in which students work
together in order to solve particular problems and answer for question. This is the strategy
through which student will able to think individually for solving questions. Through this learning
strategy students will share their ideas with classmates (Think-Pair-Share, 2019). In each word
of think there has been a meaning where T indicates thinking in which teachers ask specific
questions relating to text. P indicates pair in which students will get paired with another students.
S indicate share in which students share their thinking with another partners. These are process
by which individual will able raise its learning.
1.8 Chapter summary
Present report has been developed with the motive of identifying issues of education
system in Malaysia. In this report, Think-pair-share strategy has been explained in order to
analyse strategy of collaborative learning. Proper background and introduction of study is also
being evaluated in this report in order to develop a proper pathway on which researcher will
conduct efficient study. Further, meanings of collaborative learning and think-pair-share
strategies has been evaluated in order to develop better understanding of Malaysian education
system which recently has been developed by the government in order to improve such system.
CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW
2.0 Introduction
Literature review is considered as summary and explanation which are provided in
different journals and articles by different authors. These are the type of thoughts of knowledge
which has been developed on limited topics. These limited sources are found under academic
books and articles. It helps readers to get easy access of study on which research study has been
conducted by them. It is also true that writing is considered as one of the most important means
to develop communication under which humans express their thoughts regarding particular area
of knowledge. In the field of research effective writing considered as one of the most important
and has become an essential tool for the teachers, students and pupil which ensure that they have

required skill in order to be successful in their study. Thus, in the present report different
perceptions of the authors under their own journals and articles will be evaluated.
Theme 1: different effects of collaborative learning among year six pupils in their
narrative writing skills.
Collaborative learning is the process which has been initiated by the government in order
to enhance learning activity of the students. According to the Sung, Chang and Liu (2016)
collaborative learning is an important process in order to understand difficult tasks. This theory
states learning which involve group has always a greater capacity in order increase memory of
working by comparing it with individual learning. It is true that in complex task it is necessary
that individual must have problem solving skill if a person in lacking in this skill then it
generates excessive cognitive load. According to the views of author, learners in collaborative
learning are mainly considered as the information processing system. These are the group which
has limited memory in working because of which collaborative working spaces gets create. Thus,
with the development of collaborative learning learners and teachers will able to put their extra
efforts in order to learn something new. Six-year pupil will able to raise their skill of
composition writing and will also able to learn more effectively by sharing their thoughts of
views with each other.
However, on the critical note Hainey and et.al., (2016) states that individual will not able
to raise their own efforts in order to learn something new because it does not take some
forethought and planning where students are randomly thrown into the groups. This will provide
more negative impact upon students when they are not forced to learn something new into a
group. However, author also stated that more chances of getting fail of students may get
increases it is because mainly it has been found that under the group studies there only few
students who contribute their efforts in order to learn something. It is the situation under learning
ability get develop in only few students and other one remains in same position as they were. It is
also true that collaborative learning been always investigates with the perception of only few
students or teachers because of which obstacles which has been faced by other learners will not
get evaluated.
Significance of collaborative learning:
Collaborative learning is considered as one of the effective approach by which students
gets encourages in order to create groups as well as to work collectively in order to solving a
