ABSTRACT
The Kadazandusun language (BKD) teacher’s training programme in Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia (IPGM) started with 20 students for the Kadazandusun Preparatory Programme’s First Batch registered on the 20thJune 2012 at Institute of Teacher Education Kent Campus. This batch of students had to undergo three semesters of Preparatory Programme (PPISMP) before proceeding to do their Bachelor of Teaching Programme (PISMP) which took another eight semesters. A lot of preparation needed to be done by IPGM, especially by Kent Teacher Education Institute Campus which is the first campus to offer training for BKD teacher’s preparatory course. This research aims to observe the major preparations which had been done by Kent Campus before receiving its first batch of BKD students. The research also discusses the first group of lecturers and students who were involved in the training of BKD teachers as well as the list of BKD courses offered under the PPISMP and PISMP curriculum. A narrative historical approach was used in this research and most discussions had been done in a chronological order. Data was collected from primary sources such as minutes of meetings, proposals and paperworks, reports, letters and newspapers cuttings as well as interviews with those directly involved in the early preparation of the BKD training. The research findings revealed that two main preparations were done before the BKD Preparatory Programme was offered, namely, equipping of the lecturers and setting of the Pro forma for the BKD curriculum. The findings also showed that all the lecturers and students for the first intake were native speakers of the different dialects of Kadazan Dusun from various districts in Sabah.

ABSTRAK
Program Latihan guru Bahasa Kadazandusun (BKD) di Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia (IPGM) bermula apabila seramai 20 orang pelajar PPISMP BKD ambilan pertama mendaftar pada 25 Jun 2012 di Institut Pendidikan Guru (IPG) Kampus Kent. Kumpulan ini mengikuti kursus persediaan selama tiga semester sebelum meneruskan pengajian ke Program Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perguruan (PISMP) selama 8 semester. Banyak persediaan awal telah dilakukan oleh IPGM khususnya IPG Kampus Kent selaku perintis kepada penawaran latihan guru melalui PPISMP BKD. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti persediaan utama yang telah dilakukan oleh IPG Kampus Kent sebelum menerima pelajar PPISMP BKD. Kajian ini juga mengenalpasti pensyarah dan pelajar perintis yang terlibat dalam latihan guru BKD serta senarai kursus yang ditawarkan dalam kurikulum PPISMP dan PISMP BKD. Kajian ini dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan sejarah naratif dengan hampir keseluruhan perbincangan adalah dalam bentuk kronologi. Kaedah pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah mengumpul sumber-sumber primer seperti minit mesyuarat, kertas cadangan dan kertas kerja, dokumen perjanjian, laporan, surat menyurat dan keratan akhbar bekaitan serta temu bual dengan individu yang terlibat langsung dengan persediaan awal latihan guru BKD. Kajian mendapati terdapat dua persediaan awal yang telah dilakukan sebelum penawaran PPISMP BKD iaitu persediaan tenaga pengajar dan penggubalan Pro Forma iaitu kurikulum BKD. Dapatan kajian juga memperlihatkan bahawa semua pensyarah dan pelajar perintis BKD adalah penutur jati pelbagai dialek Kadazan Dusun dari pelbagai daerah di negeri Sabah.
