A lot of academic activities have been carried out from this cooperation such as seminar proceedings, research collaboration, human capital development, and academic publication (books and journal). Now, this cooperation has reached more than one decade and it is my hope to see this academic networking will be strengthening by organizing more academic activities. This book is the first English book publication. By having this version, I hope that the book can be referred internationally, especially for those who are not get in-depth knowledge on Indonesian and Malaysian educational development. Congratulation to those who are involved in this publication! Prof. Dr. H. M. Nur The Dean of The Faculty of Education The University of Riau INDONESIA v vi From the Desk of Editors This book focuses on the empirical research in education in various perspectives. It provides a lot of information and data on educational development in Indonesia and Malaysia. The compilation on the various educational researches in this book is based on the conference papers that have been presented in the several series of Regional Conferences organized by the Faculty of Education, University of Riau Indonesia and the Faculty of Education, National University of Malaysia. The Regional Conferences are organised in every two years. The conferences focused on various issues and development in education and human development. We believe the use of educational knowledge will assist educationists to improve the quality of education as well as their skills in disseminating knowledge. While the book emphasises statistical and narrative findings from the empirical research, perhaps, it provides effective strategies for educators to carry out educational activities in various fields. The book centres on empirical research in education for development. We think you will find this book to be a starting for carrying out comparative research in the future. We banded together to write this book because too little is written about educational research for a country development especially in Malaysian and Indonesian context. Specifically, this book is a main source for educators who seek to improve their understanding on the academic culture, students’ achievement in academic and non-academic, subject-matter education, sociological and psychological aspects. We hope the book can be a useful reference for those who have interest in education for development.

Hashim Zanariah Tabi`ie Introduction Change often takes place in every organisation. Change is also related with transforming towards better in order to achieve success. Change also happens to cater the need of the immediate surroundings, local organisation or globalisation. Findings, latest innovation and technological advancement also influence the organisation to change further. This concept paper will look into the role of schools in managing change in schools generally and specifically in overcoming the issues related to the implementation of Standard Curriculum for Primary Schools (SCPS) in primary schools in Malaysia. Headmasters’ role and changes in school are closely related and need collective involvement of all the members in the organisation. In schools, the roles of Headmasters are very important whereby the leadership style can influence and improve the degree of changes and various developments. The active role of a Headmaster
