Abstract

Formal education may continually provide examples of social acts and cultural practices that embed the identity in the young learners at schools. Cultural and traditional identity is important in any community as it reflects the social values and social norms of the respective society. In a broader scale, the national identity development in any country is often planned through education to shape the identity of the nation. Using Malay cultural identity, this article questions how, what, and which identity could be constructed through culture and arts education learnt at schools. It argues that the identity has to be based on a framework that takes into consideration seven elements: philosophy (including region), (2) history, (3) belief systems, (4) thought, (5) emotion, (6) cultural behaviors and (7) lifestyle. Of these seven elements, there a number of values can be derived from and embedded in the teaching and learning activities in schools.
