Implementation of Design and Development Research for Pantun Studies in Malay Language Education

Abstract

Long before the fifteenth century, an oral form of poetry known as pantun was in existence. Previous researchers have conducted several studies on pantun, exploring various aspects such as semantics, morphology, syntax, and other related areas. However, the extent of pantun studies within education remains constrained. Researchers frequently employ qualitative methods for studying pantun, as evidenced by the existing literature. This concept paper aims to discuss the implementation of design and development research approach in the context of researching pantun in education. The objective of this approach is to meticulously design and develop novel products through the use of diverse data collection methodologies, while also incorporating the participation of experts as study participants. Consequently, the production of novel products, such as the development of models, modules, guidelines, frameworks, tools, and innovative products, can serve as a valuable contribution towards enhancing the quality of pantun in education.
