Pengaruh efikasi diri guru, kepimpinan instruksional pengetua dan ketara sedar sekolah terhadap amalan pengajaran dan pembelajaran abad ke-21 (pak21).
Get PDFEfikasi diri guru yang tinggi dan kepimpinan instruksional pengetua merupakan faktor yang dapat menyumbang kepada kejayaan pelaksanaan pengajaran dan pembelajaran abad ke-21 (PAK21). Di samping itu, bagi membudayakan PAK21, pengetua dan guru juga perlu mempunyai ciri-ciri ketara sedar seperti berdaya tahan, fleksibel, berfikiran kritis, peka terhadap proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran dan mempunyai nilai keterbukaan. Namun begitu, kajian-kajian lepas menunjukkan efikasi diri guru dalam PAK21 dan kepimpinan instruksional pengetua masih di tahap sederhana. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti pengaruh efikasi diri guru dan kepimpinan instruksional pengetua terhadap PAK21 dan pengaruh ketara sedar sekolah sebagai mediator dalam hubungan antara kedua-dua pemboleh ubah ini terhadap amalan PAK21. Kajian ini juga turut menguji hipotesis berkaitan perbezaan tahap efikasi diri guru, kepimpinan instruksional pengetua, ketara sedar sekolah dan amalan PAK21 berdasarkan jantina, pengalaman kerja, persepsi guru dan pelajar serta kategori sekolah. Seramai 201 orang guru dan 254 orang pelajar sekolah menengah di negeri Perlis, Kelantan dan Pulau Pinang telah dipilih sebagai responden melalui persampelan berkelompok dan persampelan bertujuan. Data dikumpul menggunakan empat instrumen iaitu Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scales (TSES), Principal
Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS), School Mindfulness Scale (MScale) dan West Virginia 21st Century Teaching and Learning Survey. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara efikasi diri guru dan kepimpinan instruksional pengetua terhadap amalan PAK21. Walau bagaimanapun, ketara sedar sekolah didapati tidak mempengaruhi amalan PAK21 secara langsung dan tidak berperanan sebagai mediator dalam hubungan antara kedua-dua pemboleh ubah. Secara keseluruhannya, dapatan kajian ini memberi beberapa implikasi terhadap teori, amalan pengajaran guru dan kepimpinan instruksional pengetua. Kajian ini turut menyumbang kepada pembinaan model kajian yang boleh diaplikasikan oleh penyelidik pada masa akan datang. Model kajian ini juga boleh digunakan sebagai panduan oleh pihak Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM) dalam merangka dan menyediakan latihan bagi meningkatkan efikasi diri guru dan kualiti kepimpinan pengetua

The effect of e-learning training program on organizational performance through underlying mechanism of capacity building, job performance and job satisfaction of Dubai Police Force
Get PDFThe Dubai Police Force has made a significant contribution to the society of Dubai. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the Force is still not up to the desired standards due to its lack of staff training programs and facilities. Moreover, the performance level of personnel working under the Dubai Police Force remains unsatisfactory due to the absence of a well-established and comprehensive training culture within the organization. Both employees and their performances are arguably the critical components for determining and attaining success in an organization. With regards to this matter, practitioners and academicians are still struggling to identify the driving factors behind the employee's high performance which in turn leads to the organization's high performance. Hence, this study assesses the relationship between e-learning training practices and organizational performance through capacity building, job performance and job satisfaction in the Dubai Police Force. A survey method is used in this study to collect data from 499 employees attached to the Force. This study analyzed the acquired data using the Partial Least Squares (Structural Equation Modeling) and SPSS technique. The relationship between the exogenous and the endogenous latent construct was measured through the calculation of beta value, t-value, and p-value. This study reveals that the relationship between e-learning training practices and organizational performance is statistically significant. However, the correlation among independent and dependent variables, except for capacity building, is insignificant in the context of the relationship between human resource management practices and organizational performance. Unlike job performance and job satisfaction, capacity building is a statistically significant variable mediating the relationship between e-learning training practices and organizational performance.
