摘要：In line with the ambition of the Ministry of Education Malaysia (2012), Malaysian Education Blueprint (2013-2025) had been launched in order to produce students who have the ability to think constructively and able to face the hardships, while developing their leadership skills and capability. However, family functionings play an important role in fostering productive and balanced teenagers in various ways. Because of that, this study aims to examine the level of family functioning among teenagers who have behavioural problems. The quantitative approach was applied in this study using the Statistical Package for Social Science for Windows (SPSS) version-21, while the cross-sectional surveys were used in the data collection process. The instruments used were Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales III. Descriptive analysis was used to observe the frequency and percentage of respondents. Based on the purposive sampling, 36 teenagers were identified as having behavioural problems from four schools in Kuala Krai where they had been selected randomly as the samples for this study. In general, the findings of the study show that the level of the family functioning of the respondents is moderate and can be improved. Hence, the results of this study are expected to be used as a guideline by parents, communities, counselors, schools, organizations involved, and the ministries in the process of helping the teenagers who are involved in behavioural problems. This study can also be used as a guideline by future researchers in conducting research which is related to family functionings to a further extent and involves a larger population.
