Influence of Music Engagement and Movement on Daily Living Skills in Children with Down Syndrome
No full textMany studies have found that Orff-Schulwerk music activities can be used to help children with special needs learn various skills; however, little research has been conducted on Orff-Schulwerk as a tool for helping children with Down syndrome (DS) learn skills of daily living. To fill this research gap, a collective case study was conducted. This study recruited five children with DS aged 7–10 years to participate in an 8-week class to develop two skills of daily living through music engagement and movement (MEM) based on Orff-Schulwerk. Four participants nearly or fully mastered the two skills, and only one did not have complete mastery and needed prompting to perform both daily living skills correctly. This finding suggests that MEM can help children with DS learn skills of daily living. Thematic analysis showed that the fun of musical activities kept DS children interested and enjoying the MEM program. Meanwhile, MEM helped children to concentrate, understand and memorize daily living skills in the class. In addition, the encouragement and affirmation given by the teacher helped them to increase their self-confidence in classes and not to give up easily due to difficulties

Rethinking Psychomotor Assessment in Hospitality and Tourism: Miller's Pyramid Perspective
No full textThis conceptual paper aims to explore the applicability of Miller's Pyramid as a framework for designing psychomotor assessments in the field of hospitality and tourism education. While Miller's Pyramid was originally developed for healthcare education, its structured approach to assessing psychomotor skills development has the potential to benefit other education fields, including hospitality and tourism. The paper begins by discussing the evolution and growth of hospitality and tourism programs, emphasizing the increasing demand for practical skills in these fields. It then delves into the psychomotor learning domain in hospitality and tourism education, drawing parallels to Simpson's Psychomotor Domain. The paper concludes by proposing how Miller's Pyramid can be adapted to design effective psychomotor assessments tailored to hospitality and tourism programs
Teknik Pengubahsuaian dalam Terjemahan Intralingual Diakronik Manuskrip Melayu ‘Hikayat Abdullah’
No full textMakalah ini mengetengahkan perbincangan mengenai penggunaan teknik pengubahsuaian seperti yang dicadangkan oleh Nida pada tahun 1964 yang diaplikasikan dalam terjemahan intralingual diakronik terhadap manuskrip Melayu ‘Hikayat Abdullah’ (Abdullah Abdul, 1849). Tujuan utama terjemahan intralingual diakronik adalah untuk menghasilkan sebuah teks yang lebih bersifat kontemporari kepada pembaca sasaran. Terdapat banyak teknik yang sesuai diaplikasikan dalam terjemahan intralingual diakronik bergantung kepada ciri-ciri bahasa Melayu klasik itu sendiri. Walau bagaimanapun, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mencerakin teknik pengubahsuaian yang berlaku dalam terjemahan manuskrip Melayu ‘Hikayat Abdullah’ (Hamzah, 2007) daripada bahasa Melayu klasik kepada bahasa Melayu moden berlandaskan ciri-ciri bahasa Melayu klasik. Bagi tujuan tersebut, kajian ini dijalankan dengan mengaplikasikan pendekatan kualitatif yang menjurus kepada bentuk analisis secara deskriptif. Dapatan kajian mendapati bahawa teknik pengguguran dan teknik pindaan lebih kerap digunakan bagi ayat yang panjang dan berulang-ulang, ayat yang banyak menggunakan kata pangkal ayat, dan ayat yang banyak mengandungi partikel pun dan lah
Strategies for Addressing Indigenous Education Dropout
No full textThe issue of indigenous education dropout among the indigenous community has deep roots, despite various efforts being made. These efforts include educational assistance such as transportation allowances, pocket money for primary and secondary school students, dormitory personal needs, fees, and school uniforms for Standard 1 and Form 1 students. Similarly, there are initiatives like the Education Incentive Scheme (SBGP) managed in collaboration with the Department of Orang Asli Development (JAKOA), aimed at encouraging indigenous students to pursue higher education. However, the education dropout issue among the indigenous at the secondary school level not only hinders educational progression but also makes it difficult for the younger generation of this community to secure better employment due to the lack of required minimum qualifications. Therefore, this qualitative study aims to explore strategies for addressing indigenous education dropout in Sungai Siput, Perak. Through semi-structured interviews and purposive sampling, the researcher conducted interviews with several teachers, parents, and indigenous community members in the district of Sungai Siput, Perak. Additionally, direct observations were made in schools, homes, and indigenous villages to reinforce the interview data. The study findings outlined strategies in the context of efforts needed by various parties to address indigenous educational dropout. The results indicate that addressing indigenous education dropout requires the involvement of various parties, establishing culturally responsive education, developing indigenous community educational recovery, and enhancing teacher training and professional development in indigenous schools. This study has important implications for addressing the issue of educational dropout among indigenous students from various angles
Field Expert Assessment on the Inventory of Science Teacher Readiness in Implementing Classroom-based Assessment
No full textTeacher readiness is the willingness of a teacher to implement a programmed Classroom-Based Assessment (CBA) successfully, which is crucial to ensure that a program can be implemented at the individual or organizational level. The readiness of science teachers to implement CBA determines the direction and success of primary school assessments in Malaysia. However, there are limitations in measuring science teachers' readiness to implement CBA. Therefore, there is a need to develop an instrument that can measure the ability. This study was conducted to validate the Science Teacher Readiness Inventory in CBA (ISTRI-CBA) using a Multi-Faceted Rasch Measurement Model (MFRM). A sample of five officers from the Ministry of Education, Malaysia, served as a panel of field experts in assessments, science education, psychometrics, psychology, and language. Based on applying the MFRM, 162 items were retained from an initial pool of 185 items. The panel of field experts was good, with all five having a level of leniency and severity not too far when rating the item across the five dimensions. Expert evaluation using four-point rating scale criteria was used for clarity, accuracy, reasonableness, and brevity. The Results show ISTRI-CBA for the constructs of CBA knowledge, CBA skills, Attitudes, and Professionalism Values were considered unidimensional, while the resource support construct was multidimensional. Overall, the item reliability was satisfactory, ranging between 0.70 to 0.87 and the chi-square value (0.00) was significant, thus demonstrating that the items contained in the Science Teacher Readiness Inventory in the Classroom-Based Assessment dimension have good internal consistency
