Abstract

The safety of children near water is crucial to avoid drowning, a major cause of death among children worldwide. Drowning incidents are a significant issue in Malaysia, especially among young people. The greatest obstacle to the development of policy for water safety among school children is lack of awareness or knowledge of water safety.  This study represents an attempt to measure attitudes towards waters safety and risk of drowning in the District of Gombak in Malaysia. Given the urgency of the matter, immediate attention and action are required. Therefore, this paper seeks to highlight the pressing nature of water safety concerns among school children and assess whether implementing a water safety education program can substantially enhance knowledge levels, thus reducing drowning incidents among children. Yet, drowning in Malaysia still doesn't get enough attention. The sample of the study was 502 school children from a school in the district in Selangor. Purposive sampling was selected. The major findings that emerged were as below: a) the respondents prefer to swim alone. b) They are less favor in of wearing life jackets. c) They prefer to swim without having adults around them. d) They are prone to swim without learning to swim. e) No association between students’ attitudes towards water safety and sex.  The urgency of this research is to address water safety issues among school children.

Abstract

Coaching has emerged as a transformative tool in educational leadership, providing school leaders with the strategies and resources crucial for sustainable and effective school improvement. This study explores how coaching practices impact school heads’ professional development, focusing on the influence of relevant content, effective delivery, and targeted instructional methods in fostering leadership growth. Specifically, it examines the role of coaching in developing school heads’ ability to address complex challenges with adaptability, thereby promoting a school culture that prioritizes continuous improvement. Based on a literature review and data from 27 purposively selected school heads from the Bera District Education Office in Pahang, the findings highlight that coaching is instrumental in enhancing leadership skills. Interestingly, demographic factors such as sex and years of experience were found to have no significant effect on coaching efficacy. This suggests that effective coaching practice relies less on tenure or background and more on targeted professional development, a growth mindset, and supportive institutional resources. The study underscores the importance of investing in structured coaching programs and organizational support to cultivate essential coaching skills, highlighting that coaching effectiveness is closely tied to continuous learning and committed engagement. These insights provide a compelling case for incorporating coaching as a core component of school leadership development, with the potential to elevate school performance and foster a positive impact on teachers.
