Abstract

This study was conducted to find out the difficulties faced by in-service teachers of UNIMAS PKPG programmes. The samples were final year students of PKPG as they had spent a longer time in university and presumably had experienced and faced more problems compared to their juniors. Apart from that, the researcher was also interested to find out the possible solutions on how they managed their problems. To investigate the difficulties, the researcher focused on the five perspectives namely Age, Financial, Interest, Support and Self-Management. For the data collection, two instruments were designed, a 30-item questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. 20 respondents from each faculty, FSKPM, FCSIT and FRST were chosen randomly for the questionnaire. For the interview, only 5 respondents from each faculty were interviewed. Percentage formula was used to analyse the data collected from the questionnaire. The findings for both instruments were written descriptively. The findings showed that most PKPG students faced problems mainly related to finance and lack of support. The cause of financial problem was due to half pay salary. Apart from that, they also needed support in study. Despite these problems, it was found out that these in-service teachers were able to cope with their studies and managed their problems accordingly
