Penerapan Pemikiran Komputasi dalam Matematik
No full textKajian ini membangunkan modul pengajaran dan pembelajaran berasaskan permainan dengan penerapan pemikiran komputasi (PPK) bagi tajuk pecahan untuk murid tahun 4 dan tahun 5. Pendekatan kuantitatif dengan reka bentuk penyelidikan pembangunan dan kaedah eksperimen digunakan dalam pembangunan dan penilaian modul PPK. Modul PPK yang dibangunkan adalah daripada gabungan teori Piaget (1971), teori pembelajaran Ausubel (1967) Vygotsky (1978) dan Bruner (1966). Kajian menggunakan model Plomp (1997) yang melibatkan tiga fasa utama, iaitu kajian awal, pembangunan dan penilaian. Kaedah persampelan rawak pelbagai peringkat digunakan untuk memilih 80 murid dari Sekolah A dan 100 murid dari Sekolah B yang melibatkan 180 orang murid. Dapatan penyelidikan menunjukkan bahawa modul PPK yang dibina memenuhi syarat kesahan dan kebolehpercayaan berdasarkan penilaian oleh tiga orang pakar dalam bidang Matematik daripada UPSI. Modul PPK berkesan dalam meningkatkan pencapaian murid jika dibandingkan dengan kaedah pembelajaran konvensional. Ini adalah kerana pencapaian murid tahun 4 bagi kumpulan rawatan (Min=24.07, SP=5.658) lebih tinggi daripada kumpulan kawalan (Min=14.87, SP=5.268). Begitu juga untuk murid Tahun 5, pencapaian murid kumpulan rawatan (Min=24.36, SP=4.735) lebih tinggi daripada kumpulan kawalan (Min=15.38, SP=4.682). Maka modul PPK yang dibina berkesan dalam meningkatkan pencapaian murid

Model Mental untuk Menyiasat Sistem Pengurusan Sisa Organik di Gong Badak, Terengganu
No full textPengurusan sisa organik adalah masalah serius di kebanyakan negara membangun hari ini. Kemajuan ekonomi dan pertumbuhan penduduk adalah antara faktor utama yang bertanggungjawab terhadap peningkatan penjanaan sisa organik. Tujuan kajian ini dijalankan adalah untuk memahami dengan jelas aspek pengurusan sisa organik yang sesuai di Malaysia menggunakan perisian pendekatan model mental. Model mental ialah rangka kerja pemikiran komuniti yang terbentuk hasil daripada proses memahami, mentafsir, mengingat, dan memikirkan maklumat semasa mentafsir pengalaman pengurusan sisa organik. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan oleh pengkaji adalah berdasarkan data primer dan sekunder. Data sekunder menunjukkan pendekatan model mental jarang digunakan di Malaysia. Penyelidik telah memberikan garis panduan kepada 15 orang peserta kajian, termasuk isi rumah dan kontraktor sisa, dan sampel kajian dijalankan menggunakan persampelan rawak mudah. Hasil kajian mendedahkan bahawa tahap pengetahuan penduduk perumahan Gong Badak mengenai pengurusan sisa organik dan kitar semula sisa organik adalah agak tinggi. Bagaimanapun, sikap dan tingkah laku mereka terhadap pengurusan sisa organik adalah rendah. Kedua, amalan kitar semula perlu diperkukuh dan penyertaan semua pihak bersepadu. Kejayaan sesuatu program kitar semula dan pengurusan sisa organik sukar dicapai, walaupun tahap pengetahuan pengurusan sisa organik dalam kalangan isi rumah adalah sangat tinggi
Analysis of the Report Framing of China's Mainstream News Media During Major Epidemics
No full textThe major epidemic poses a huge threat to public health and social stability and require a joint response by the government, health authorities, media and the public. The high level of attention paid to the coverage of such events poses a huge challenge for the news media. However, different media have different news frames, and audiences can understand and recognize things through the news frames constructed by media. In this paper, People's Daily, one of the most influential national mainstream media in China, and Hubei Daily, a representative of local mainstream media, are selected as the research objects, and relevant reports on the epidemic from these two news portals from December 31, 2019, to April 8, 2020 are selected. The news framing theory of Pan and Kosicki (1993) is utilized. This paper analyzes the media framework adopted by different types of media in reporting the epidemic situation, and what role this media framework plays in the epidemic situation report, so as to provide useful reference for the media reporting of such major emergency public health events
Boundary Spanning and Isomorphism Interactions
No full textThis study explores the relationship between isomorphism, boundary-spanning, institutional restrictions, and procedural congruence. Using fuzzy (set-theoretic) logic and concepts of causal dependence, we aim to clarify the presence of isomorphism on firms designated as protected origins and boundary-spanning. Employing fuzzy (set-theoretic) logic, we analyse the interactions between isomorphism, institutional restrictions, procedural congruence, and boundary-spanning. By investigating causal dependencies, we uncover the underlying mechanisms shaping firms’ interactions within diverse contexts. Our study reveals that isomorphism interactions can be examined through causal (counterfactual) dependence, emphasising their significance. Furthermore, causal dependence can occur without explicit causation, indicating a transitive relationship involving interactions. Isomorphism can serve as a counterexample to causal dependence, maintaining a boundary interaction between contextual factors and institutional constraints. Additionally, causal dependence involving interactions may not necessarily constrain isomorphism, suggesting an intransitive relationship. Isomorphism may also present a facade of conformity when analysed through causal (counterfactual) dependence, highlighting the complexity of these interactions. This research contributes to the literature by examining the relationship between isomorphism and institutional constraints, providing original insights into boundary-spanning and isomorphism. Moreover, our study advances understanding of causal dependence in explaining firm interactions, with implications for international business
Assessing Mukah Community's Readiness Participation in the Ecotourism Industry
No full textEcotourism is a distinct category within the broader tourism sector. Ecotourism is an excellent option for enhancing local socioeconomic circumstances and generating economic activity that positively impacts the national economy. The involvement of local communities, specifically rural youth communities, in ecotourism activities can offer employment prospects such as serving as nature guides, engaging in business ventures within the ecotourism industry, benefiting from the activities and products of ecotourism, and fostering social connections and local income growth. However, an essential determinant of the effectiveness of tourist development programs is the level of readiness within the community to engage in these ecotourism activities. The objective of this essay is to evaluate the preparedness of the local community in Mukah for the implementation of ecotourism activities. The study was carried out as part of the community program. A total of 62 respondents originated from the surrounding communities of Mukah, Sarawak. The findings indicated that most participants had neither attended nor received any kind of training in nature guiding. Although most respondents initially did not engage in ecotourism activities, a significant number of them showed a newfound interest in becoming nature guides and stated a readiness to pursue relevant courses in the future after enrolling in the program. It indicates that a significant proportion of young people participating in this program had the necessary readiness to engage in local ecotourism initiatives
The Influence of Parenting Styles on Mental Health Among Children in Henan Province, China
No full textThis study aims to examine the correlation between parenting styles of children and their mental health. A cross-sectional study with 384 children with parents was carried out in Henan Province with children aged 10-13 years old. The findings showed a significant negative correlation between emotional warmth and mental health (β = -0.253, p< 0.001), indicating that the higher the level of emotional warmth perceived during the parenting process, the lower the mental health symptom scores, reflecting better mental health in children. There is a significant positive correlation between rejection and mental health (β = 0.381, p < 0.001), indicating that higher levels of perceived rejection during the parenting process are associated with higher mental health symptom scores, reflecting poorer mental health in children. There is a significant difference in parenting styles by grade level (F = 3.491, p = 0.016). In conclusion, only some of the research hypotheses are supported in this study. The mental health of children is greatly impacted by the parenting methods of their parents. Parenting philosophies that prioritised rejection and emotional warmth had a stronger effect on children's mental health
