ABSTRACT

 

Leadership skills need to be mastered by the students who will be our future leaders. In Malaysia, the Ministry of Education (MOE) had set up the Kadet Remaja Sekolah (KRS) to develop leadership skills among students. The KRS provides opportunities for the students to build up their leadership skills. This study had been conducted to examine the development of leadership skills among the students through the KRS’s activities at Sekolah Menengah Teknik, in Batu Pahat (SMTBP). The objective of this study is to identify the characteristics, the level of awareness and the level of mastering leadership skills that they had applied during the KRS activities. The sample consisted of 36 students from the KRS of SMTBP. The instruments that had been used were questionnaires, observations and interviews. The data were analyzed by using the Statistics Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 11.5 to get the descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation. Whereas for the checklist we analyzed it by using the frequency and for the interview we analyzed the transcripts. The results had shown that the characteristics of the leadership skills can be developed, such as communication, credibility, charisma and competent. In addition the study had found out that the students were aware of it and they had dominated the leadership characteristics that had been applied in the KRS. Hence we can make a conclusion that leadership skills can be developed through co-curricular activities such as uniformed units.
