Research Proposal: Malay Children's Brain Development & Teachers' Role

This research proposal investigates the impact of early teachers on the brain development of children from low-income Malay families. It explores the significance of early childhood education in shaping young minds, focusing on the challenges and opportunities within this specific demographic. The study poses research questions about the role of teachers in promoting brain growth, motivation strategies for student participation, and effective methods for enhancing brain development within the Malay community. The methodology involves both primary data collection through surveys and interviews with childcare teachers, and secondary data from online journals and articles. The research employs the theories of neuroplasticity and whole-brain teaching to guide data analysis and interpretation, utilizing thematic analysis and graphical representations to present the findings. The project aims to contribute valuable insights into how educators can positively influence the cognitive development of children from disadvantaged backgrounds, highlighting the importance of early intervention and culturally sensitive teaching practices. The research also considers the influence of the environment and the educational infrastructure on the children.

The Impact Of The Early Teachers In The Brain Development
Of The Children Of Lower Income Families Of Malay
Community
INTRODUCTION
Brain development is phase of
childhood life where the child’s
brain grows according to their
environment. For proper
development of child brain from
low income groups, teacher play
important role in shaping them in
accordance with the surroundings
(Fonsén, 2013)
RESEARCH QUESTIONS AND SUB-
QUESTIONS
Q1. what part does early teacher
plays for children belonging to
poor families in Malay in growth
and development of their brain?
Q2. How the children can be
motivated to take part in a course
for their brain development?
Q3. What are the ways that can
be implemented to increase the
growth of brain of children from
Malay community?

THEMES FROM LITERATURE
REVIEW
THEORY SELECTED
There are two theory selected for
the research. They are-
THEORY OF NUEROPLASTICITY-
which says that it is the brains
ability to acclimatize with the
changing scenario, which come
through all life experience a person
undergoes (Demarin &
Morović,2014)
THEORY OF WHOLE BRAIN
TEACHING- It tells about the role of
teacher in proper involvement of
students in learning process.,
which focuses on collaboration of
teacher and students as it is
important for any learning activity
(Bada & Olusegun, 2015).
SAMPLE SIZE AND SELECTION
CRITERIA
• The research uses probability and
non-probability method for
sample selection.
• Probability method is done to get
random samples based on process
of myriad automation, and this
help to get several samples from
population based on different age,
sex and race.
• Non-probability method is also
employed and interview will be
conducted from three teachers
based on childcare centre.
METHODOLOGY AND METHODS
OF DATA COLLECTION
• For this research, primary and
secondary data are collected to
get accurate result.
• Primary data will be collected
through survey sheets and
interviews which will involve three
teachers from child-chare centers.
• Secondary data will be selected
from the online journals, articles
and books which focus on early
teaching methodology.
PROPOSED SEQUENCE OF DATA
COLLECTION
The research follows the below
mentioned sequences to collect
data:
Firstly- Survey sheets and
interview question will be
prepared for teachers of childcare.
Secondly- Surveys and interview
will be performed with three early
teachers of different centers giving
child care.
Thirdly- The data collection will be
further analyzed with help of
visual representation.
