Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

The purpose of this study is to explore the teaching approaches that are appropriate for juveniles so that they can gain knowledge and skills in line with current demands and develop their potential. A qualitative approach was employed, specifically a constructivist grounded theory research design, involving 15 teachers and three administrators from the three rehabilitation schools. To ensure an in-depth exploration of these issues, data was collected using semi-structured interviews. Observations were also carried out in order to support the interview data and to give a full picture from various perspectives. The findings showed that the teachers practiced various teaching approaches that were appropriate for the conditions and problems of the juveniles at the schools, as detailed in this article. Additionally, the results also revealed that teachers need to choose appropriate teaching approaches to ensure that effective learning can be provided to juveniles, who on average do not have a good educational background and tend to drop out of school. Given that the results of this study are based on the experiences of teachers with extensive backgrounds in teaching juveniles, it is hoped that it will offer valuable insights and fundamental direction to future teachers who will be tasked with instructing juveniles. © 2024 Conscientia Beam.
