The Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Institute of Education (SHBIE or Institut Pendidikan Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah) is a Bruneian research institute and graduate school of education, located at the Tungku campus of the Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD). It provides graduate programs with both faculty and a curriculum that aims to improve teaching standards and assist the national educational system.[4]

Overview

edit

With a staff comprised of experts with local and worldwide teaching and research expertise, SHBIE is an important training ground for teachers. The institute specialises in educating educational administrators in addition to preparing instructors for elementary, secondary, and vocational education. In order to improve educational practices and increase possibilities within the education sector, SHBIE also provides courses in specialised educational fields such guidance and counselling, remedial teaching, and curriculum design.[4]

History

edit

The Sultan Idris Training College (SITC) in Malaysia, the Batu Lintang Teacher Training College in Kuching, Sarawak, or the United Kingdom were among the foreign locations where Brunei's teachers received their training.[5] The Bruneian government planned to enhance Malay education in accordance with the education policy that gives priority to the use of the Malay language, and on 16 January 1956, that plan resulted in the establishment of the Brunei Teachers' Training Centre (Pusat Latihan Perguruan Brunei).[6][7][8][a] It also offered as a course in college was the English language. As per the study policy, only students who were Bruneian are admitted to get training, and instruction was given in Malay as the sole language and medium.[10]

The college was initially situated at a kajang (camp or accommodation)[11] beside Sultan Muhammad Jamalul Alam Malay School in Tungkadeh, Brunei Town. The government has chosen to construct a a new teaching college because of the first intake of 22 students, in addition to the fact that the kajang was old and in danger of collapsing.[10] The institution had trained 14 teachers in its initial batch by the end of 1957.[5] In 1958, plans were made to construct a completely furnished new structure. The new teaching institution was situated in Berakas, a rural location near the former Brunei Airport, and was renamed as the Brunei Malay Teachers College (Maktab Perguruan Melayu Brunei).[10]

In 1961, Haji Othman bin Bidin became the first local Bruneian to be appointed as principal of the college.[12] On Thursday, 16 March 1967, in the evening, Assistant Minister of Education Lukan bin Uking, presided over the Malay teachers training program in the college's hall. Over the course of two years, 115 teacher trainees from Malay schools around the nation participated in the program. They would given lectures at the college in the afternoon after teaching in their respective schools in the morning.[13] Following their training, the Malay trainee teachers were mostly sent to teach in Malay schools around the state. James Pearce, who served as Brunei's superintendent of education, oversaw the college. Two Malay instructors with degrees from Malayan Teachers' Training College at Kirkby and one Malay lecturer from SITC assisted Pearce.[10]

 
The college in Gadong, c. 1972

During the college's fourth stage of growth, which lasted from 1972 to 1985, it changed its name once more and relocated to Gadong (present day UNISSA campus), close to Bandar Seri Begawan. On Saturday, 29 January 1972, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah presided over the opening of the college on Jalan Gadong. It was then known as the Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Teachers College[14] (Maktab Perguruan Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah) since the Sultan also consented to have the college bear his name. During a Certificate Presentation Ceremony in the afternoon, students who had finished three years of instruction at the institution were given diplomas by Pengiran Muhammad Yusuf, the Menteri Besar of Brunei. A total of 215 teachers—125 men and 90 women—were awarded certificates at the ceremony. P. D. Parshad was the college's principal at the time.[15] In this phase, the college started to offer a Bachelor in Education (BEd) program.[5]

In 1984, it changed its name again, this time to Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Institute of Education (Institut Pendidikan Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah).[5] The institute was merged into the UBD in 1988.[14] A major advancement in teacher preparation in Brunei was the Department of Educational Psychology's founding at SHBIE, which expanded special education and counseling programs and offered courses in psychology. The department has been instrumental in promoting psychology in the area since it was first manned by a multinational team of four psychologists. It has created and supported several teacher training programs, arranged important conferences—such as the first international psychological conference in 1997—and worked in tandem with the Ministry of Education on a number of projects.[16]

UBD has implemented several changes since January 2009, one of which is the transformation of SHBIE into a graduate school with graduate-level programs as its exclusive focus. The Psychological Studies and Human Development (PSHD) group, with 22 academic staff members from several psychology-related subjects, replaced the Department of Educational Psychology. Undergraduate programs like the bachelor of primary education (special education) or certifications in counseling and special education are no longer offered by SHBIE. As of 2012, the new Master of Teaching program is currently the focus of SHBIE, and in the upcoming years, plans are to increase psychological courses and postgraduate degrees.[16]
