【 摘 要 】

Educational achievement is an essential component of the development indicator of a country. The phrase ‘education for all’ covers all levels of life, including indigenous students (ISs). Commonly, education among indigenous people (IP) is not very encouraging. Many previous studies have highlighted the factors involved in ISs’ refusal to attend school and how to solve this problem. However, there are only a few studies on the relationship between the importance of obtaining literacy information in schools and managing knowledge for a guaranteed future. Previous studies found that a lack of information literacy skills, low motivation, cultural background, and learning environment contributed to supporting teaching and learning among ISs. Therefore, this paper proposes a conceptual framework to examine the relationship between student behavior, the sociocultural learning environment, and information literacy in managing IK among ISs in Malaysia. This future research will be carried out among indigenous primary school students aged 10 to 12 years. This proposed research framework will later adopt a quantitative research approach and use an appropriate questionnaire based on the level of education, age, and background after being reviewed by an expert. The expected contribution is the proposed new framework, since literature about ISs is lacking in Malaysia. It is expected that instruments will be developed and used for research, perhaps for indigenous secondary students in Malaysia.
