Abstract

This study aims to identify the extent of the application of Cross-Curriculum Elements (EMK) in the teaching of secondary school Geography subjects in Malaysia. There are 10 elements that need to be implemented in the teaching and learning process and one of them is the element of creativity and innovation that is the focus of this study. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey design through questionnaire distribution. The sample of the study consisted of 109 Geography teachers who answered questions through a questionnaire and distributed via Google Forms. Descriptive analysis (frequency, mean, percentage and standard deviation) is used to answer each study question. The findings showed that teacher perception (M=3.53, SP=.324), teacher adoption level (M=3.12, SP=.482) and teacher challenge (M=3.36, SP=.391) are at a high level. The results of this study show that teachers who teach Geography subjects have knowledge and skills in integrating EMK of creativity and innovation in teaching. The results of the study also show that teachers apply EMK of creativity and innovation in the teaching and learning process despite dealing with various challenges. The implications of the study show that the Ministry of Education Malaysia needs to create a variety of creative and innovative teaching courses to provide knowledge and exposure to teachers to form a quality education system and on par with the education of developed countries.
