The Application of Human Values Through the National Education Philosophy Towards the Development of a Prosperous Nation in Malaysia in the Era of Industrial Revolution 4.0

Despite the challenges of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, human values shape people and societies. Education, the main vehicle for value production, provides it. The Malaysian government's "National Education Philosophy" is a good strategy to infuse the community's academic supremacy with strong human values without getting blown away by quick advancement. Malaysia wants to cultivate and promote healthy human values in all areas of life, including physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual. The study examines participants' views on implementing National Education Philosophy-derived human values. It also assesses community respect for these ideals in the context of a prosperous Malaysia. Conducted in the Klang Valley, the pilot survey engaged 112 participants from diverse backgrounds enrolled in tertiary education, utilizing an online survey platform. The study found that human values can create a prosperous life. Physical health, or the body that needs to be maintained to achieve well-being, was found to be a high priority for most respondents, who are also concerned about the environment and a clean life. Most respondents exhibited good emotional stability whether facing their own or others' local or worldwide problems, according to the survey. The survey indicated that respondents' spirituality includes personal demands and rights versus family, society, and country. Among the intellectual aspects, the survey indicated that respondents prioritised epistemology. The study's findings on the complex effects of the Malaysian government's "National Education Philosophy" on participants' perspectives and values provide a foundation for future research on education strategies and the development of comprehensive human values in different societies.
