Abstract

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti tahap beban tugas dan motivasi pengajaran dalam kalangan guru di sekolah menengah daerah Ranau dan hubungan antara kedua-duanya. Beban tugas guru dikategorikan kepada dua, iaitu beban tugas akademik dan beban tugas bukan akademik. Populasi kajian ini ialah 380 orang guru yang bertugas di lima buah sekolah menengah dalam daerah Ranau. Seramai 193 orang guru daripada tiga buah sekolah dipilih secara rawak menjadi sampel kajian. Kajian ini menggunakan reka bentuk kuantitatif dengan melibatkan kaedah tinjauan deskriptif. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa tahap beban tugas akademik adalah tinggi (M=3.79, SD=.211), tahap beban tugas bukan akademik adalah tinggi (M=4.43, SD=.174), tahap beban tugas guru adalah tinggi (M=4.11, SD=.159) dan tahap motivasi pengajaran guru adalah sederhana (M=3.56, SD=.538). Keperluan fisiologi pelajar dan penyediaan fizikal bilik darjah perlu dipenuhkan terlebih dahulu. Pelajar yang berasa tenang dan selesa kurang menimbulkan masalah disiplin. Bagi guru pula, perkara ini dapat mengurangkan beban tugas mereka dalam menangani masalah disiplin pelajar. Pengurangan beban tugas berkaitan disiplin dapat menyumbang kepada keadaan kerja yang lebih baik kepada guru.

This study aimed to identify the levels of workload and teaching motivation among secondary school teachers in Ranau district and to examine the relationship between the two variables. Teachers’ workload was categorised into two components, namely academic workload and non-academic workload. The study population consisted of 380 teachers serving in five secondary schools in Ranau district. A total of 193 teachers from three schools were randomly selected as the study sample. This study employed a quantitative research design using a descriptive survey method. The findings showed that the level of academic workload was high (M = 3.79, SD = .211), the level of non-academic workload was high (M = 4.43, SD = .174), the overall level of teachers’ workload was high (M = 4.11, SD = .159), while the level of teachers’ teaching motivation was moderate (M = 3.56, SD = .538). Students’ physiological needs and the physical preparation of classrooms should be addressed first. Students who feel calm and comfortable are less likely to exhibit disciplinary problems. For teachers, this can help reduce their workload in dealing with students’ disciplinary problems. Reducing workload related to discipline can contribute to better working conditions for teachers.
