Junior Secondary Mathematics Student’s Learning Environment and Satisfaction in Brunei Darussalam Curtin University of Technology, Western Australia Paper Presented at the Annual Conference of the Australian Association for Research in Education December 2-6, 2001, Fremantle, Western Australia ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION The education policy, the school’s culture and specific situational factors all contribute to the routine habits of teachers and students. A school’s culture has its own language, knowledge and vocabulary which each contribute to a particular orientation to mathematics education. The education system in Brunei Darussalam is centralised and examination oriented. At various stages during their education, students in Brunei Darussalam undergo examinations that determine their selection, placement and promotion. The education system is largely content driven, with an emphasis on students passing the examinations. There would appear to be limited change in teaching styles and general classroom management since the 1960s, with reports (Ministry of Education, 1993a) indicating that teachers are experiencing problems in the teaching and learning mathematics in Brunei Darussalam's schools. The present study investigated the extent to which these reported problems might be affecting the mathematics classroom environment in Brunei Darussalam's junior secondary schools. In addition, because students' attitudes towards mathematics are considered an important factor in mathematics classrooms, this study also included assessment of students’ attitudes and investigated their association with the nature of the mathematics classroom learning environment.

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE HAJI AL-MUHTADEE BILLAH 10 August, 1998, corresponding to 17 Rabiulakhir, 1419 Hijriah in the Islamic Calendar was a historic event for Brunei Darussalam. The date marked the Royal Proclamation of His Royal Highness Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah as the Crown Prince of Brunei Darussalam. The Proclamation puts His Royal Highness in line to become the 30th Sultan of Brunei. His Royal Highness Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah was born on 17 February, 1974 corresponding to 24 Muharram 1394 Hijriah of the Islamic calendar. The Prince was the third child of His Majesty Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Muízzaddin Waddaulah, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam and Her Majesty Paduka Seri Baginda Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Hajah Saleha. Throughout his academic life, His Royal Highness was not only industrious in his academic studies and extra-curricular activities but was also equally diligent and devoted much time and attention to his religious education, Islamic and welfare matters. In 1988, The Prince completed the reading of the Holy Quran (Khatamal Quran) and the 'surah-surah Lazim'. The Prince's education began early in life, at the Putera-Puteri (Prince-Princess) School at the Istana (Palace) Darul Hana. Subsequently, His Royal Highness progressed through the Brunei Junior Certificate (1988) and the 'O' level examination of the General Certificate of Education (Cambridge) in 1991 and 'A' level examination of the General Certificate of Education (Cambridge) in 1994. In 1995, the Prince attended a course of tutorials at the University of Brunei Darussalam and at the Oxford Center for Islamic Studies, United Kingdom.

Return East Asia and Pacific List AUTHOR: U.S. Department of State TITLE: Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, 2000: Brunei SOURCE: U.S. Department of State TEXT: Brunei The police force, which has responsibility for internal security, reports to the Prime Minister's office, which includes an Internal Security Department, and is firmly under the control of civil authorities. Brunei's large oil and natural gas reserves, coupled with its small population, give it a very high per capita gross national product. The worldwide recovery in oil prices that began in 1998 has helped restore the country's cash flow; however, the economy still continued to feel the effects of the Amedeo Corporation's collapse. The corporation, which was owned by the Sultan's brother Jefri, is being liquidated to pay debts amounting to more than $6 billion. The Government generally respected its citizens' human rights in several areas; however, its record was poor in other areas, particularly with regard to civil liberties, and problems remain. In practice citizens do not have the right to change their government, and they generally avoid political activity of any kind. Nor, constitutional provisions notwithstanding, do they genuinely exercise the freedoms of speech, press, assembly, and association. Other human rights problems continued, including restriction of religious freedom and discrimination against women. Despite government efforts, occasional societal violence against women remains a problem.

fiSearchFormMaxSetId='AX006201'; Country Info Brunei Introduction Brunei General Data Brunei Maps Brunei Culture ... Brunei Time and Date Brunei Government Back to Top Under Brunei's 1959 constitution, the Sultan is the head of state with full administrator authority, including emergency powers since 1962. The Sultan is assisted and advised by five councils, which he appoints. A Council of Ministers, or cabinet, which currently consists of nine members (including the Sultan himself), assists in the administration of the government. The Sultan presides over the cabinet as Prime Minister and also holds the positions of Minister of Defense and Minister of Finance. One of the Sultan's brothers, Prince Mohamed, serves as Minister of Foreign Affairs. Brunei's legal system is based on English common law, with an independent judiciary, a body of written common law judgments and statutes, and legislation enacted by the sultan. Most cases are tried by the local magistrate's courts. More serious cases go before the High Court, which sits for about 2 weeks every few months. Brunei has an arrangement with the United Kingdom whereby United Kingdom judges are appointed as the judges for Brunei's High Court and Court of Appeal. Final appeal can be made to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London in civil but not criminal cases. The Government of Brunei assures continuing public support for the current form of government by providing economic benefits such as subsidized food, fuel and housing, free education and medical care, and low-interest loans for government employees. The Sultan said in a 1989 interview that he intended to proceed, with prudence, to establish more liberal institutions in the nation and that he would reintroduce elections and a legislature when he "[could] see demonstrate of a genuine interest in politics on the part of a responsible majority of Bruneians." In 1994, a constitutional review committee submitted its findings to the Sultan, but these have not been made public.
