Abstrak Kertas konsep ini membincangkan isu dan cabaran berkaitan faktor lokaliti pelajar yang mempengaruhi pencapaian aspirasi murid. Faktor lokaliti seperti peluang pekerjaan dalam komuniti, persekitaran kejiranan, dan hubungan sosial dengan jiran didapati mempunyai impak besar terhadap motivasi, kesejahteraan emosi, serta pencapaian akademik pelajar. Kajian terdahulu menunjukkan bahawa ketidaktentuan ekonomi, kekurangan sokongan sosial, serta ketiadaan teladan positif dalam persekitaran tempatan boleh melemahkan keupayaan murid untuk menetapkan dan mencapai matlamat pendidikan dan kerjaya mereka. Oleh itu, penyelesaian seperti pengukuhan sokongan komuniti, peningkatan infrastruktur pendidikan, dan penyediaan program pembangunan sosial diperlukan bagi memastikan aspirasi murid terus berkembang dalam pelbagai konteks lokaliti. Kertas ini mencadangkan pendekatan holistik yang melibatkan pelbagai pihak untuk membina persekitaran pembelajaran yang kondusif dan menyokong perkembangan potensi pelajar.
Abstract: This concept paper examines the issues and challenges related to locality factors that influence students' ability to achieve their aspirations. Elements such as employment opportunities within the community, neighborhood conditions, and social relationships with neighbors significantly affect student motivation, emotional well-being, and academic performance. Previous research indicates that economic instability, limited social support, and the absence of positive role models in the local environment can hinder students from setting and reaching their educational and career goals. Therefore, solutions such as strengthening community support, improving educational infrastructure, and offering social development programs are necessary to ensure students’ aspirations continue to grow across different locality contexts. This paper proposes a holistic approach involving multiple stakeholders to create a supportive learning environment that nurtures student potential.
