1.0 INTRODUCTION
Statistics is the science of data collection, organization, and interpretation.
The data is often numerical but may take other forms including relationships between
entities. It deals with all aspects of this, including the planning of data collection in
terms of the design of surveys and experiments. The purpose is to obtain some
overall understanding of group characteristics.
Statistics is considered by some to be a mathematical science pertaining to
the collection, analysis, interpretation or explanation, and presentation of data, while
others consider it a branch of mathematics concerned with collecting and interpreting
data. Because of its empirical roots and its focus on applications, statistics is usually
considered to be a distinct mathematical science rather than a branch of
mathematics.
Statisticians improve the quality of data with the design of experiments and
survey sampling. Statistics also provides tools for prediction and forecasting using
data and statistical models. Statistics is applicable to a wide variety of academic
disciplines, including natural and social sciences, government, and business.
People in varied occupations use statistics. Health professionals use
statistical methods to determine whether a specific drug or procedure is useful in the
treatment of medical problems. Weather forecasters use statistics to more accurately
predict the weather. Engineers use statistics to benchmark standards for product
safety and quality. Scientists employ statistical methods to design effective
experiments. Economists apply statistical techniques in predicting future economic
trends.
Sports recruiters use statistics to check out potential athletes. Sports teams
also use statistics to prepare for upcoming opponents. They look to see which
players on the opposing teams are doing well at that time. They also use statistics to
decide which players are doing well and they try to predict which players will bring
the best results for the game.
The people who pick out merchandise for retail stores also use statistics.
They look to find out what styles and colours sold the best in previous seasons and
then they decide what to buy. Police officers also use statistics in several ways. The
first way is to find out what intersections have the highest accident rate and then they
are able to watch those intersections and reduce the number of accidents. They also
study the crime rates in different neighbourhoods to show the need for additional
police force.
In this survey, we had survey about the sudden change in the PPSMI policy.
PPSMI is the outcome of a policy decision made by the Government of Malaysia as
the result from the Minister’s Council Meeting held on 19 July 2002.The
implementation of PPSMI was carried out in stages beginning with the 2003
schooling session. The pioneers were all Year 1 students for Primary Schools, Form
1 and Lower 6 students for Secondary Schools. The full implementation of PPSMI
was in 2007 for Secondary Schools and 2008 for Primary Schools.
2.0 CONDUCTING A SURVEY
Surveys are used in many fields to gather data on the knowledge, attitude and
behaviour of the general public or specific populations. This information is used to
design political campaigns, create marketing strategies, plan for public services and
many other purposes. Planning offices may use surveys to determine public attitudes
and preferences about growth options, or to assess the use of different public
services, such as roads or playgrounds.
Through this lesson, students will gain experience in gathering data used for
decision-making, as well as the ability to more critically assess conclusions based on
survey data. It is a type of gathering information that is such an important way to help
people make decisions about topics of interest. Surveys can help people to decide
what needs changing, where money should be spent, what products to purchase,
what problems there might be, or lots of other questions you may have at any
time. The best part about surveys is that they can be used to answer any question
about any topic. Here are four steps to a successful survey and it includes create the
questions, ask the questions, tally the results and present the results.
In this coursework, we have to conduct a survey on several issues that have
been given to us. The issues are abolishing standard examinations such as UPSR
and PMR in schools, The price hike in essential items such as sugar, petrol and
LPG, Night lectures in IPG Kampus Ipoh, The facilities available in IPG Kampus
Ipoh, The facilities available outside IPG Kampus Ipoh and The sudden change in
the PPSMI policy.
Once the issue has been selected, then our group discuss about the
questionnaire. Then we show the draft about the questions to our lecturer so that she
can make some corrections and give some comments and hence, guide us to do the
correct way of constructing the right and suitable questions. After that, we distribute
the questionnaire to our respondents. After they have answered the questionnaire,
we collect back all the questionnaire to gather the information from our respondents.
We use tally method to make it easier when analysis the questions and last but not
least, all the data and the information are presented in the various non-linear form
and we write a report based on the survey for the selected topic.
2.1 CHOOSING AN ISSUE
For this task, we are provided six different titles. Each group should carry out a
survey on a given topic. A representative from our group has done a draw lock
together representatives of other groups. Extracts from it, we got the title of the
sudden change of PPSMI policy.
Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sains dan Matematik Dalam Bahasa
Inggeris (PPSMI) is a government policy aimed to improve the command of the
English language among pupils at primary and secondary schools in Malaysia. In
accordance to this policy, the Science and Mathematics subjects are taught in the
English medium as opposed to the Malay medium used before. This policy was
introduced by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir bin Mohamad in 2003.
PPSMI has been the subject of debate among academics, politicians and the public
alike, which culminated to the announcement of the policy's reversal in 2012 by the
Deputy Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
The rational of the change of the medium of instruction from Malay language to
English for the teaching and learning in Science and Mathematics as the government
is concern on the nation’s human capital development towards achieving the
standard of developed country. Besides that, English language is the language
spoken internationally and mastery in this language would allow easy access to
information in these fields. In addition, the implementation of PPSMI was made to
ensure students’ mastery in Science and Mathematics of the view that most of the
sources are available in English. Indirectly, enhancing the student to communicate in
English, thus, improve their language.
2.2 CONSTRUCTING A QUESTIONNAIRE
We have discussed and construct 10 questions in the questionnaire part. It
also includes two questions about the background of the respondents such as their
gender and occupations. We also provide open ended questions to get their opinion
regarding the topic chosen and they can also give their suggestion that they think is
suitable. The sample of our group’s questionnaire is as below:

2.3 DISTRIBUTING THE QUESTIONNAIRE.
After we have constructing the questionnaire, we have to distribute the
questionnaire to at least 40 respondents. Our group’s target are those who is called
students, lecturers and also parents. We divide them into female and male.

The students are those who are now learning or have the experience in
learning Science and Mathematics in English, the lecturers are among the educators
in IPG Kampus Ipoh itself while the parents are the people who are the villagers that
stay at the nearby residential area. We give them the questionnaire to be ticked and
we also explain to them about the purpose of our survey. Luckily, they are willing to
give their full co-operation and commitment to answer the questions given. We
distribute the questionnaire to 19 students, 13 lecturers and 8 parents which consists
of 21 male and 19 female.

Based on the question 1, respondents had gave their answer which is 31
respondents were agree in the sudden change in the PPSMI policy, 3 respondents
were not sure and 6 respondents were disagree on that question. There were many
opinions from the respondents that we had got. Students had stated that teaching
Science and Math in Malay Language is better for the students and changes will give
negative effect to the students. They also said that study Science and Math in
English had burdened them.
While lecturer had state that sudden change in PPSMI policy will made the
students were very shocked and waste a lot of money. They also said that PPSMI
does not work in improving student’s achievement in Math and Science. Parents also
gave their opinion that sudden change in PPSMI policy will help the students from
the rural area. They also said that their children were not good in English so studied
Math and Science in English will burden their children.

Figure 5: Shows the number of respondents who think that the terms in both
subjects (Science and Mathematics) should be changed to Malay language.
From the bar chart above, 19 respondents say yes about to change the terms
in both subjects (Science and Mathematics) to Malay Language. Most of them agree
as it is easy to understand. Besides that, it is easy to understand and better to learn
in own language. On top of that, the knowledge is easy to deliver and understand by
the students. In fact, this can also improvise Malay language among the students.
Basically, students know more terms in Malay language. There is some students
who cannot understand the English subject itself, thus when learning Science and
Mathematics in English, they find it very difficult. Science and Mathematics are
technical and practical subjects and not language subjects, thus it should be learned
in Malay language instead of English.
Whereas, 13 respondents say no to change the terms of both subjects in
Malay. This is because, the terms are sound funny and quite more difficult when they
are changed into Malay language. A part from that, English is not really difficult since
we learnt the subject from primary school. The terms used are internationally agreed
and used all over the world in their educational system. If the words are changed to
Malay, it is hard to find the keywords in the internet for further explanation and better
understanding. Most of the references books are in English, so we have to be
familiar with the terms used. On top of that, some of the terms are not suitable to
change in Malay. They also think that it is very hard to remember if the terms are
changed into Malay.
In the other hand, 7 respondents are not sure whether to change the terms we
used in English nowadays to Malay. They think that, it is easy to learn in bilingual but
it may take a long time during the class period to teach for that particular subject if
the teacher has to teach in bilingual to make the students understand. Besides that,
mixing language when learning can create confusedness among the students.

Mathematics subjects become tougher?

Figure 6: The policy of PPSMI will cause Science and Mathematics subjects
become tougher.
From the pie chart above, we can see that 20 respondents or 50% of them
agree that the policy of PPSMI will cause Science and Mathematics subjects
become tougher. This is because, since these subjects are teaching in English, the
students especially from the rural area having difficulty in understanding what they
learn. As a result, their results from the test or examination drop and this can make
them fail. 3 respondents or 7% are not sure about this matter and 17 respondents or
43% think that this policy are not causing the subjects become tougher to be learnt.
They feel that actually this policy is not burdened at all and instead of that, the
number of excellent students increase from year to year.

Figure 7: Number of respondents that agree PPSMI policy may improve
the students’ English language
Based on the survey, 18 respondents confident that PPSMI may helps improve
students’ English. This is because more subjects are teaching in English than before.
So, student will speak more in English in school. Besides that, the students need to
participate more in Science subject during teaching and learning session. Thus, the
student can build their language and be more confident to speak.
In addition, there are 13 respondents who said that PPSMI may not help to
improve the students’ language. This kind of respondent think that, the interaction
between the students and teacher will be less as the student are ashamed to speak
in English. As a result, the student unable to improve their language and will miss the
lesson.
QUESTION 6: If we learn Science and Mathematics in English, do you think the
patriotism among students will decreased? Why?

Figure 8: the number of respondents that agree PPSMI policy may
decrease the patriotism among the students.
About 16 respondents agreed that learn Science and Mathematics in English
can decreased the patriotism among the students. This is because the students will
have less exposure to the national language, which is a Bahasa Melayu especially
non Malay student. So they will less speak in Bahasa Melayu. Moreover, the
patriotism can decrease because the students learn the colonist language. This may
cause the student to love more the colonist country.
A part from that, 19 respondents did not agree that learn Science and
Mathematics in English can decreased the patriotism among the students. For them,
language is not very associated with spirit of patriotism. Besides that, the students
only communicate in English during the learning process in the school but at home
they will speak their mother tongue.
Another five respondents are not sure that learn Science and Mathematics in
English can decrease the patriotism among the students. According to them, learn
history give more moral value on patriotism to students than learn Science and
Mathematics in English.
QUESTION 7: Do you think the PPSMI policy burdens the teachers?
From the survey carried, based on the seventh question, we found that for the
question 7, 22 respondents or 55% agreed that the PPISMP policy burdens the
teachers, followed with 8 respondents disagree or 20% and 10 respondents or 20%
not sure . This can be seen in the pie chart below:
55%
20%
25%
YES NO NOT SURE
Figure 9: The PPSMI policy burdens the teachers
Through this survey, most of them agree or ticked yes based on the few of
reasons, like teachers who have taught in BM for years, especially older teachers,
they will have to take course for respective language and the subjects already taught
in Bahasa before. There also the reason stated that teachers are not prepared to
teach in English and they have to prepare themselves for the policy.
While the reasons given by the respondents that disagree or ticked no are the
teachers know their responsibilities and all teachers should learn English. The other
reason is the teachers should prepare themselves with any possibilities.
QUESTION 8: Do you think the sudden change in the policy will burden the
government financially?
Besides that, there are 31 respondents or 77% said yes for the eighth
question that sound ‘Do you think the sudden change in the policy will burden the
government financially?’, while 6 respondents or 15% said no and 3 respondents or
8% are not sure. Based on this data, the pie graph is constructed for the easy
understanding.

Figure 10: The sudden change in the policy burden the government financially
From this survey, the respondents that ticked yes are strictly stand on their
opinions based on the reasons like the government need to renew the textbook or
syllabus and the policy is wasting the money, as lot of change will include a massive
budget. The other reasonable opinions are the policy was ringing no effect and there
will be a lot of programs will be handled. While the respondents that ticked no are
leaving the space provided without any reason, except for just a reason, which is
stated that the government is doing the best for the learning system in Malaysia.
QUESTION 9: Do you think the PPSMI is a success or failure? Give your opinion.

48%
The success or the failure of the PPSMI
Success Failure
Figure 11: The success or the failure of the PPSMI.
From the pie chart above, we can conclude that 48% of the respondents said
that the PPSMI was failed, while the other 52% said that the PPSMI was success.
Some on them that said the PPSMI was failed thought that because students
do not understand about the lesson they had learned. Furthermore, the student also
cannot improve their English when learned Science and Mathematics in English. For
student in rural schools, they thought that learned Science and Mathematics in
English was hard because some of them cannot master the English subject very
well. So, they might be a big different result between the rural students and the
student in city.
QUESTION 10: Give your own suggestion to improve the learning of Science and
Mathematics in the future educational system.
So, to improve the learning of Science and Mathematics in English, the
respondents suggested that these two subjects should be learns theoretically and
practically. Then, more experiment should be conduct for Science subject. In
addition, they wanted these subjects to be learns in bilingual languages.
Furthermore, they suggested these languages to be teach in creative ways of
teaching with the technological devices.
CONCLUSION
Based on the survey, there are kinds of responses given by the respondents.
These varying patterns made our data more interesting to be interpret and thus
attract the people to see the data shown.
Overall, based on the survey, we stand on our foot that the PPSMI policy
should not be defended and this upside down situation should be fixed to the
original, which is the teaching and learning of Mathematics and Science should be
converted into the Bahasa Malaysia.
The PPSMI is not be seen as failure or success, but more as the conflicts in
the learning system in Malaysia,which is to drive the students for a better standard
and achievement in order to produce the qualified and educated community of
Malaysia.

Name: Mohd Hanafi Bin Sulaiman
Alhamdulillah, thanks to ALLAH S.W.T as I can finish up this assignment.
During the progress to finish up this assignment, the first thing that I do is trying to
understand about the survey. Then, I make a research about the survey report. The
survey report is an official report prepared on a standardized form, which records the
circumstance concerning the data.
For the first step, before writing the report, I need to make the questionnaire
based on the task that had given to us. The task was to carry out the survey to find
out about people view on the sudden change in the PPSMI policy. So, in making the
questionnaire, we had made the sample questionnaire first to know the
understandings of the respondents on it. After the respondents understand the
questionnaire, we had distributed the questionnaire to the respondent randomly. The
respondents that involves in this survey were parents, lecturers and students.
In the questionnaire, we had put the background profile that can help us in the
report. Not only that, we had listed the suitable answer for them to tick. This makes
them easier to take and answer the questionnaires. To make us easier to analyse
the data, we had made the master tally sheet. Although we had make some
mistakes in the questionnaire, after we met our lecturer, Miss Lena, we had get a
better understanding and we had made the correction on it.
In conducting the survey, we had presenting the data through visual
illustrations like pie chart and histogram. From it, we can analyse the data easily.
Furthermore, we also had interpret and making the inference about the data. We
also knew how to present the data using the visual illustration from computer. This
survey had increased our understanding and skills about the survey.
From this survey, we also got the people view on the sudden change in the
PPSMI policy. Most of them not agree with the sudden change in this policy. They
had given many reason and suggestion about this problem. Some of them agree,
some of them not agree and also there are people that are not sure about the
sudden change in the PPSMI policy.
We use statistics in representing the data in this survey. From the research on
the internet, I knew that statistics is the science of data collection, organization, and
interpretation. The data is often numerical but may take other forms including
relationships between entities. It deals with all aspects of this, including the planning
of data collection in terms of the design of surveys and experiments. The purpose is
to obtain some overall understanding of group characteristics.
Besides, during do this assignment, I and my group members discussed and
shared the opinion to make this assignment to be better. When we had done this
assignment, we realised that this assignment is not so hard that we thought.
In conclusion, we hope that by doing this assignment, our understanding in
conducting the survey increases. Perhaps, we hope that we will have no problem to
write the report next time.
Thank you.

NAME: NURANNISA BINTI SUYATIM
In this semester, I was getting course work for Basic Mathemathics related to
writing survey report. This assignment began on 3rd September 2010 and ended on 1
October 2010. For this course I need to complete the course work as a team. After a
several discussions among the group members and with the lecturer, my group and I
have done a questionnaire and distributed it to our respondent which including
lecturers, parents and school students.
During this period, many of the problems I have encountered. I had to sleep
late to complete this task. I have faced other problem because of the lack of
reference materials to complete this assignment. Besides that, my group has limit
time to have discussion. This is because the course work needs to be completed
during the midterm. So, we have to contact each other via telephone an email during
that time. However, with the permission of Allah, we can also complete this task
successfully.
In addition, I have a lot of course work from other lecturers. All course work
must be submitted in a timely manner. But, Alhamdulillah I managed to complete all
course work. Group members helped me in completing this course work. We
frequently hold discussions among us so to better understand how to complete the
course work.
I learned a lot from this subject. Now, I am improve the skill of collecting,
managing and representing data using suitable visual representation and
documenting the finding of a survey report. I know the how to write survey report.
Besides that, this course work foster cooperation between the group members.
Moreover, I learn how to use computer generic program and to analysis the
questionnaire.
In addition, I hope it meets criteria tasks set by lecturers. I also hope that this
course work will be reading and reference materials to students who will come and
get blessings from him.

NAME: NURUL AINAAMIRA BINTI MOHD NOR RASHIDI
First and foremost, praise to The Almighty God for giving me good health and
safety while finishing this Basic Mathematics (MT3311D1) assignment for this
semester.
I have faced many problems when do this assignment. First, I do not know
better what to include as content in this folio. Thus, to solve this problem, I always
collaborate with my group’s members, Nurannisa, Nurfatin, Haslam and Hanafi and
make group discussions in order to complete our task. Besides that, we also get
guidance’s from our lecturer, Miss Lena Vimalanandan to accomplish this task,
thanks a lot to her for her guidance and advices. But, all of that not break up our
spirit to finish the assignment.
To make our work become easier, after we have gathered all the data and
discussed how to write the report and consist of various non-linear forms such as the
bar chart, pie chart and others, we have divided the job to be done by each of the
member. The sources are from the internet, references books and also from the
lecturer’s notes about statistics, graph, steps when conducting survey and all that. I
have gained more knowledge about this topic in detail. For example, I am more
practical about how to collect the data and classify the questions constructed based
on their types of data. Not only that, this assignment gives me a lot of valuable
experienced such as we walked together to the residential area nearby to see the
respondents and we saw a lot of people with different behaviour. It also and grows
the positive attitude in my behaviour such as working as a group and cooperation. I
am very thankful to work in the group because all of them give full commitment and
willing to sacrifice their leisure time to discuss about the data collected.
Fortunately, we can finish this task in a given time and I’m feel relief. I felt very
satisfied with this coursework and I hope that this report can give benefits to others.
That’s all, thank you.
