Abstract

The development of globalization towards the education world requires the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE) to transform education into the Malaysian Education Blueprint 2013-2025. Through this blueprint, 21st century learning is introduced to meet the present generation of teaching and learning processes that demand alternatives over the last century. In this regard, this article aims to explain the role of imagination in the 21st century education learning. Imagination can be seen from three features as a cognitive ability and process, mental image generation activity and how to express information. Imagination is often considered synonymous with creativity and visualization although both are different. Imagination refers to the ability to generate mental images and to think in a certain way while creativity refers to the generation or synthesis of ideas or new, original and extraordinary results. Instead of visualizing is the act or action of bringing an existing image, object or experience into the mind screen while imagination occurs when new pictures, objects, or experiences are created in the mind screen. But these three elements are closely related and increase each other. In education, imagination plays a role in helping a student to give meaning to experience and understanding of knowledge. Imagination is also seen as the basis for learning because the findings require a high level of creative thinking. All of this implies the involvement of imagination in 21st century learning. This discussion is expected to open the minds of all parties towards the great role of imagination in ensuring the success of 21st century learning.

Perkembangan globalisasi terhadap dunia pendidikan menuntut Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM) melakukan transformasi dalam pendidikan melalui Pelan Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia 2013-2025. Melalui pelan ini, pembelajaran abad ke-21 diperkenalkan bagi memenuhi proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran generasi abad kini yang menuntut kelainan berbanding generasi abad lalu. Sehubungan itu, artikel ini bertujuan untuk menerangkan peranan imaginasi dalam dunia pendidikan abad ke-21. Imaginasi boleh dilihat dari tiga ciri iaitu sebagai satu keupayaan dan proses kognitif, aktiviti penjanaan imej mental dan cara untuk mengekspresikan maklumat. Imaginasi sering dianggap sinonim dengan kreativiti dan visualisasi walau pun kedua-duanya adalah berbeza. Imaginasi merujuk kepada keupayaan untuk menjana imej mental dan berfikir dengan cara tertentu manakala kreativiti pula merujuk kepada proses penjanaan atau sintesis idea atau hasil yang baru, asli dan luar biasa. Sebaliknya visualisasi adalah perbuatan atau tindakan membawa gambar, objek atau pengalaman sedia ada ke dalam skrin minda manakala imaginasi berlaku apabila gambar, objek atau pengalaman baru dihasilkan dalam skrin minda. Namun ketiga-tiga elemen ini berkait rapat dan meningkatkan peranan antara satu sama lain. Pendidikan imaginasi berperanan membantu seseorang pelajar memberi makna kepada pengalaman dan pemahaman kepada sesuatu pengetahuan. Imaginasi juga dilihat sebagai asas bagi pembelajaran kerana penemuan memerlukan tahap pemikiran kreatif yang tinggi. Kesemua ini memberi implikasi ke arah penglibatan imaginasi dalam pembelajaran abad ke-21. Perbincangan ini diharap membuka minda semua pihak terhadap peranan besar imaginasi dalam dunia pendidikan terutamanya ke arah menjayakan pembelajaran abad ke-21.
