Regulatory Framework for Cryptocurrency: A Comparative Analysis of Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore
No full textThe rapid evolution of cryptocurrency has prompted significant regulatory responses across the globe, particularly in Southeast Asia, where Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore are at the forefront of this transformation. This comparative analysis examines the regulatory frameworks governing cryptocurrency in these three nations, highlighting the unique approaches adopted by each country in response to the challenges and opportunities presented by digital currencies. Singapore is recognized for its progressive regulatory stance, which aims to foster innovation while ensuring consumer protection and financial stability. In contrast, Malaysia has implemented a more cautious approach, focusing on establishing a comprehensive legal framework that addresses the complexities of cryptocurrency transactions and their implications for the financial system. Meanwhile, Indonesia's regulatory landscape is characterized by a mix of enthusiasm for blockchain technology and concerns regarding potential risks, leading to a somewhat fragmented regulatory environment. This study employs a qualitative methodology, analysing primary and secondary data sources to assess the effectiveness of these regulatory frameworks in promoting cryptocurrency adoption while mitigating associated risks. The findings reveal that while Singapore's model may serve as a benchmark for regulatory best practices, Malaysia and Indonesia face distinct challenges that necessitate tailored regulatory solutions. Ultimately, this research contributes to the understanding of how regulatory frameworks can shape the cryptocurrency landscape in Southeast Asia, offering insights for policymakers and stakeholders navigating this dynamic market

Academic Performance and Predictors of the Licensure Examination for Teachers of the Bachelor of Elementary Education
No full textThis study was conducted to determine the academic performance and predictors of the licensure examination for teachers of the Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) of Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College Sta Maria Campus, Philippines, during four consecutive years from 2016 to 2019. This descriptive correlational study involved 299 student takers who took the yearly September Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). The student’s official transcript of records was used to determine their academic performance in general and professional education courses/subjects, while the LET results were analyzed to identify the relationship between academic performance and LET results in general and professional education. Findings revealed that academic performance in general and professional education courses was "very good." A relationship existed between academic performance in general and professional education courses and LET results. General education courses/subjects such as English, Math, Science, and Social Studies and professional education courses/subjects like Theory and Concepts and Methods/strategies were predictors of the licensure examination. However, English is a best predictor. Generally, students performed well in their academics. The higher the academic grades the better chance of passing the licensure examination. The institutional LET passing percentage is consistently higher than the national passing percentage. The repeaters dragged the national passing percentage down. The overall performance of the graduates during their licensure examination is dependent on how the college equipped the students in taking the said examination
The Private Undergraduate Colleges in China: The Development, Challenges and Opportunities
No full textThe structure of private undergraduate colleges in China can be confusing because it includes two distinct types: Independent Colleges and Minban Undergraduate Colleges. Research on their development, challenges, and opportunities remains limited. This study uses qualitative document analysis to examine the history, challenges, and prospects of private undergraduate colleges. The findings show that Independent Colleges, which emerged during the late 20th century under the Open-Door Policy, grew quickly but faced criticism for disrupting the balance with Minban Undergraduate Colleges. In response, the Chinese government implemented policies to transform Independent Colleges and support the growth of Minban Undergraduate Colleges, creating a fairer and more competitive environment. Despite these improvements, private undergraduate colleges still face challenges such as funding shortages, limited research capacity, and high faculty turnover. However, changing market conditions and supportive policies offer significant opportunities for growth. This study provides useful insights for policymakers and educators, highlighting the potential of private undergraduate colleges to strengthen China’s higher education system and meet the needs of a rapidly changing economy
Sintesis Kesesuaian Amalan Kepimpinan Transformasi dan Amalan Kepimpinan Distributif dengan Pengurusan Konflik di Sekolah
No full textSekolah merupakan organisasi yang mengoperasikan sistem pendidikan berdasarkan ketetapan dasar seragam dan standard piawaian yang ditentukan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM). Akan tetapi, sumber manusia dalam sesebuah sekolah yang terdiri daripada pemimpin, anggota pentadbiran, guru-guru dan kakitangan, mempunyai perbezaan dari segi latar belakang, taraf pendidikan, pengalaman kerja dan corak pemikiran. Perbezaan ini boleh mewujudkan konflik, yang sekiranya tidak ditangani dengan baik, akan mengganggu pengurusan dan pencapaian sekolah. Objektif artikel ini adalah untuk menganalisis teori dua dimensi pengurusan konflik, amalan kepimpinan transformasi dan amalan kepimpinan distributif, seterusnya mensintesiskan dimensi yang bersesuaian untuk diaplikasikan dalam situasi konflik. Metod yang digunakan adalah melalui pengumpulan literatur (data sekunder) daripada pelbagai sumber ilmiah. Analisis menunjukkan bahawa kepimpinan transformasi dan kepimpinan distributif dapat diaplikasikan dalam pengurusan konflik dengan syarat pengetua bijak menyesuaikannya dengan situasi konflik yang berlaku. Implikasi daripada artikel ini akan dapat memberi idea kepada penggubal polisi dalam usaha menganjurkan latihan yang bersesuaian dengan tujuan untuk menambahbaik kualiti kepimpinan di sekolah yang seterusnya akan turut membantu pemimpin menangani isu yang wujud di bawah kepimpinan mereka. Selain itu, penulisan artikel ini dapat memberikan sumbangan yang bermakna terhadap bidang pendidikan dengan membantu pengetua dalam memilih amalan kepimpinan yang tepat bagi menguruskan konflik di sekolah
