Abstract:
This study aims to explore and identify teachers' beliefs towards the teaching of reading and comprehension in Malay language education in primary schools in Brunei Darussalam. Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior is used as a theoretical framework to analyse and categorise the data into the types of beliefs that teachers practice in their teaching. This study uses a qualitative approach with a multiple-case research design. A purposive sampling technique was used to select study participants of 3 teachers who received the Teacher's Day Appreciation Award. The findings show that the teacher's reading and comprehension practice in the classroom is related to beliefs based on Azjen's theory, which are behavioural beliefs (belief in the teaching career and belief in the role of Malay teachers), normative beliefs (belief in the influence of the student's background and belief in the influence of the school); and control beliefs (beliefs in teaching practices and beliefs in teachers’ challenges).
