Abstract

In aligning with the 21st century curriculum initiative, the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 advocates shifting autonomy for education towards learners from a young age. Thereby, active learning becomes a prominent approach to nurture Malaysia primary school pupils’ learner control. This case study aims to discover how far does active learning impacts pupils’ learner control development currently. We recruited fourteen Year 3 (age 9) pupils and three primary school teachers in this study. Entirely, the active learning implementation is structured by a conceptual framework originating from an idea affiliation of well-known educators. This study presents potential and current achievement of pupils’ learner control according to active learning influences and sheds light on significant features for future active learning developing and designing improvement.
