ABSTRACT
Vision 2020 goals should be reached without marginalizing any group of
people, especially those who have the possibility for failure. The community
college is among the platforms for risk groups are moving forward and being
part of the high-income communities. However, developments in society
require some reforms to the system that has been established. In this case, the
community college lecturer who is the prime mover of community colleges
should be in line with the needs of today's world to ensure the continued
relevance of community colleges in achieving the objectives of Vision 2020.
Thus the qualitative study using the Delphi Technique Interview was
conducted to see the view of community college graduates about their
lecturers. A total of five recommendations for lecturers of a community
college have been touched including competence, skills, roles, relationships
and career.
Keywords: Vision 2020; lecturer; improvements; community college

INTRODUCTION
Community college history began when the Cabinet meeting on 3 November
1999, which convened to discuss the Budget 2000 has been decided that the Ministry
of Education carried out a study on a model and concepts appropriate for community
colleges established in every constituency across the country. The considerations of
community colleges are to provide an alternative to post-secondary opportunities that
129
do not have the opportunity to continue their education at a higher level.
Subsequently, on July 5, 2000 the Cabinet had considered and agreed with
398/2225/00 memorandum submitted by the Minister of Education on the basis of the
establishment and implementation of Community Colleges in each constituency
(Mohd Faisal and Wan Izni, 2010). A total of 10 pilot Community College began
operating in mid-June 2001 and another 2 units in December 2001. As of 2015, a total
of 92 Community Colleges has been operating throughout the country. Community
College has become an institution of choice for those who wish to improve their skills
and knowledge (JPKK, 2011).
1.1
Transformation Community College is to produce quality graduates
Malaysia wishes to increase its efforts to reach high-income developed
country status by 2020. In the 10MP, the government has determined that training and
technical and vocational education should be first to realize the high-income
economy. Through the Community College Transformation Plan, the focus is
delivered to assist in the country out of the economic centers around the middletohigh-income and competitive. For the success of this policy given the role of
community colleges to advance the process of Lifelong Learning (LLL) to local
communities to help them generate better income (Abdul Jalil, 2011). Review by Abd.
Hair et al. (2013) found that employers are satisfied in terms of the specialization
program, information and communication technology, but the majority of employers
are not satisfied with the quality of community college graduates in terms of soft
skills, innovation and English language support. It is the prerogative of the lecturers
who have not achieved well to date.The community college lecturers have the ability
to meet the challenges that have been levelled and able to produce graduates who
cope with the needs for skilled manpower. However, they need to know what are the
important things to do. Therefore, steps should be taken for more strategic ongoing
basis to guarantee the competence of lecturers in all institutions, especially in
community colleges fulfil this aspiration. Indirectly, this is a challenge to the lecturer
in community colleges to improve their quality to enhance the skills and competencies
of graduates produced towards meeting the needs of the industry.Special emphasis is
placed on the development of human capital through initial PTV mainstream efforts
130
for the realization of high-income economy (JPKK, 2012). All this is done to produce
a global class human capital in highly competitive and skilled (MohdAyop 2011).
2.0
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Career as a lecturer in higher education institutions requires commitment and
passion (Mabrouk, 2006). This career is the backbone of the mission to produce
graduates who can respond to the aspirations of the people and the countries. Efforts
have to be designed and established to strengthen the capacity of lecturers in
performing the functions. Lecturers must prepare themselves in competition at the
global level in line with the demands of the profession. Various aspects of selfdevelopment should be assessed and identified their needs. Problems often arise in
discussing the reliability and capability of lecturers, especially for those who are as
yet new in terms of assistance and support needed (MarianiandHamdan, 2008).
However, most of the study focus on the effectiveness of technical and vocational
curriculum to students (NurulNadya et al, 2010). Only a few studies were conducted
to see the student's needs especially on their lecturers (Iswaaniza, 2012). While the
new lecturers are faced with a variety of new work environments that requires them to
meet some of the requirements, they need to retain their quality without knowing what
they should do to meet student requirement.. Therefore they require access and
cooperation of all parties in an effort to upgrade the competence of teachers,
especially in community colleges. Even Curriculum Management Model by Saylor et
al. (1981) also put the effectiveness of the teaching staff as one of the essential things
that need to be appraised for effectiveness of the education system. Because of that, a
study should be done to help community college lecturers to makeany improvements
and help community colleges to remain relevant in 2020.

RESEARCH FINDINGS AND REVIEW
This study has achieved its objective to explore the suggestions for
improvement of Community Colleges in terms of Lecturers, review panels agreed
132
community college lecturers should have the following capabilities for improving
teaching and learning (P&P):
5.1
Lecturers should competence in their field
Competence relates to the skills of instructors teaching professionals based on
the practice of professionalism, knowledge and understanding, and teaching and
learning skills (MOE, 2013).The core task of the lecturer is to make known the
contents of the syllabus to another form that can be understood students through a
series of learning activities appropriate (Azizi andFadlina,2008). Therefore
competence is critical to lecturers.
“prior to advancing students, lecturers must be developed first” (PK09)
“Lecturers must be more advance than students” (PK04)
Students are expected lecturers have distinctive competencies to assist them in deal
with a subject, especially a core subject areas. Failure to figure out their field,lecturers
will make students more confused by what they learned. The majority of research
panels agreed that lecturers should have special competence in the subjects got to
improve student understanding and expertise.
“Sorry to say, during college..lecturers not be used to produce traditional
cakes like this, mostly skilled western cuisine only” (PK07)
It's will lead to the students have less self-disclosure on a plane and they believe that it
is a lack of teaching and learning.
“Disclosure lecturer was less because most lecturers teach entrepreneurship
but even if there is no entrepreneurial background, so they are difficult to
share experience or expertise”(PK15)
5.2
Lecturers should have practical skills
Skills in practical means the ability of a lecturer to demonstratein the process of
teaching and learning.Their abilities will inspire students to emulate the capabilities of
their lecturers.
“lecturers need to master practical skills, do not say lecturers only need to
know the theory, but practically cannot do” (PK03)
133
Failure to master the skill in practical aspect will lead to other problems such as
monitoring the activities of student internship and susceptibility to explain in practical
projects. This will result in the student not receive input from the project or internship
that they doing and cause dissatisfaction may arise to them.
“sometimes lecturers, during the practical time they let their students alone,
nobody wants to show how to do it, maybe because he was less skilled hands
(PK02)
5.3
Lecturers should be a Source of Inspiration for their student
Most students at the community college are always looking for the direction of
their future career. Education is very significant effect when these because they
reckoned lecturers as a people who know more than they (Mok Soon Sang, 2011).
Therefore lecturers should always be inspired and able to be a source of inspiration to
their students. They can be driven by past experiences and knowledge to the students
while in class.
“There was a lecturer, Mr. ZaliWahil, he always shared his business
experience, I got a lot of inspiration to be a people like him” (PK04)
This is something that is very meaningful to the students because they feel the
lecturer's close to their world. This makes them eager to succeed in their future
careers.Grima et al (2014) in his study of mentor who gives inspiration has proven the
power of inspiration in shaping the identity of a student. This will increase the
effectiveness if a lecturer is able to become a mentor who can inspire students.
“For me..the most powerful thing is the inspiration given by our lecturers”
(PK14)
“I clearly know my strength when lecturers inspire me” (PK05)
5.4 Lecturer as a motivator
Motivation can be defined as a strong desire and will in itself to force or do
something in order to achieve success (DBP, 2013). Woolfook (1998) explains the
motivation as an internal power that generates, directing and controlling interests and
human behavior. Lecturers are very meaningful to serve as a source of motivation for
students to learn and achieve success in their fields. Panel study itself acknowledges

the words of their former lecturer stimulus is very effective in themselves. Most
assume it is drive their success and help them to a better person than before entering
college. It supports FatimahtulZaharah (2003) and Syed Mohamad (2010) studies who
found the significant of motivation to learn by teaching staffs are very helpful in
improving student learning motivation and career.
“My former lecturer, Mr. Zainuddin always reminds me, we learn not only to
work but to open our minds, I always remember that message, we must always
learn...” (PK04)
“I still remember one of my lecturers, En. Idham..hegives me a lot of
motivation, he told me.. I have a great potential to success” (PK06)
“I remember HjZairon former GrikCommunity College director said, I do not
want my student to be a seamstress village level only, I keep the words and
now I prove my success” (PK07)
5.5
Lecturer as a career guidance
Career planning is a very significant matter and many studies show that it is a
necessity (Amal et al, 2006). Hoppock (1957) insists one should have knowledge
about the job before making a career choice. Thus it is not surprising that students feel
the community college lecturer is the best reference point for information about their
career as lecturer knows more about a career.
“I always refer to counseling lecturer...especially because they more access to
information about careers so we can ask them” (PK12)
Lecturers are also expected to contribute ideas and suggestions to the students because
most students are so vague about the future of their careers.
“Before, during studies, lecturers gave a lot of ideas, what career to be done
in the future” (PK13)
“I refer many lecturers, they asked, after I study where should going and
whetherit'sa appropriate work” (PK15)
“I think the lecturer should assist students in college...show direction, then
learn what we can do most of our own vague about the direction”
They argue that a good relationship and cooperation between students and lecturers
can help students to build a community college career a more glorious future.
