Adaptive Behaviour Empowerment of Children with Disabilities in Pertubuhan Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti (PPDK)
No full textAdaptive behaviour is a conceptual, practical, and social skill that each individual uses in daily life. This study focuses on the empowerment of adaptive behaviour among children with disabilities in the Pertubuhan Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti (PPDK) or Community Rehabilitation Organisation in the district of Kubang Pasu, Kedah, Malaysia. The objective of the study is to examine the differences in the adaptive skills of children with disabilities based on the category of People with Disabilities (PWDs). This is a quantitative study using a survey method that involves parents or guardians of children at PPDK. A total of 95 respondents were involved in this study from the total population of 137 disabled trainees. The questionnaire was based on and modified from the Inventory for Client and Agency Planning (ICAP) which covered adaptive behaviours based on motor skills, social and communication skills, personal life skills, and community life skills. The analysis found that motor skills, communication and social skills, and personal life skills are different for all categories of PWDs. Only community life skills are similar for all categories of PWDs. Overall, this study found that PPDK can enable the adaptive behaviour of children with disabilities for participating in formal education

Women and Labour Force Participation in Malaysia
No full textOne of the best ways for Malaysia to develop and advance in the future is by increasing economic prospects for women. In this light, even though women’s educational attainment has significantly improved, their participation in the labour force is still significantly lower than men’s. It is believed that this is due to the burden of doing housework and caring for children and the elderly, which women mostly shoulder. This study used the Fifth Malaysian Population and Family Survey (MPFS-5), a nationally representative survey to investigate factors influencing labour force participation among Malaysian women. The probit regression model of participation decision among women, which considers common socio-demographic parameters such as parents and parents-in-law’s presence, marital status, education, age, and the number of children, was applied in this study. The results suggest that the government must devise strategies to help women achieve work-life balance, particularly in improving access to childcare services
Burnout Syndrome Among Staff of Emergency and Trauma Department Hospital Tuanku Fauziah, Kangar, Perlis
No full textBurnout Syndrome (BOS) is a complex chronic occupational stressor, defined by Maslach and Jackson (1981) as a Syndrome of Emotional Exhaustion (EE), Depersonalisation (DP) and reduced Personal Accomplishment (PA) among workers in human service environment, towards job demand that is beyond their mental, emotional and physical capacity. The Emergency and Trauma Department (ETD) were regarded as the busiest human service environment, in local and international literature. Cross-sectional mixed method study, which involved 122 operational staff of ETD HTF and a total of 12 ETD operational supervisors and administrators from HTF and Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah (HSB). The objective of this study is to confirm the existence and measure the current level and risk to develop BOS among staff of ETD HTF, determine significant work stressor and develop an interventional manual based on the pre-intervention Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Service Survey Medical Personnel (MBI-HSS MP) scores. The SPSS Version 24 and Thematic analysis was performed in this study. Result from the semi-structured interviews, established human resource insufficiency as the main work stressor. The Mind Refresher was developed as a primary intervention through Participatory Action Research. The Mind Refresher had strengthened the personal resources and created mindfulness towards the job demands in ETD HTD, which was statistically proven significant by Paired t Test during the study period.This study concludes that, there were no significant BOS among the staff of ETD HTF and it is hoped that this study will contribute some knowledge for policy makers in the government and private sector to formulate a preventive BOS framework towards their employee job demands
Development and Initial Validation of the Adult Aggressive Behaviour Scale (AABS)
No full textDespite of the growing research on violent crime locally and globally, there is still a lack of a local aggression instrument in Malaysia (Abdullah et al., 2015; Ghazali & Munusamy, 2020). The objective of this study was to develop a psychometrically sound and theoretically based measure with the 3 components of aggression based on the Frustration Aggression Model. The initial 60 items of the Adult Aggressive Behaviour Scale (AABS) consists of the physical, verbal and relational components. The items were constructed based on the aggression behavior of the multiracial culture in Malaysia. The AABS was administered to a sample of 117 adults in Malaysia. Quantitative item analyses were used to eliminate and revise items. Items with corrected item-total correlations lower than .3 were eliminated. The remaining items were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis constraining the process to three factors. Preliminary evidences showed that the AABS has good internal reliability and construct validity
Transforming Physics Content into Content Physics for Instruction through the Model of Educational Reconstruction (MER)
No full textThis study discusses how to transform physics content into instructional content using the Model of Educational Reconstruction (MER). The MER is a popular method of lesson design because it gives equal attention to the content of physics to be learned other than students’ cognitive, affective, and learning processes. This model is from the German-Didaktik tradition, which is influenced by constructivism and is nearly unknown in Malaysia. According to this perspective, knowledge is derived through human reconstruction, and every young learner has intuitive knowledge prior to entering a formal classroom. As a result, in order to meet students’ needs in a balanced manner, teachers must elementarize physics content and integrate it with students’ alternative conceptions. This study focused on energy concepts to determine how effective MER is. With the complexity and difficulty of the dual meaning of energy, physics teachers must devise efficient teaching techniques to bridge the gap between energy in everyday language and scientific concepts. Thus, the researchers evaluated 15 significant papers to determine scientists’ understanding of energy; interviewed 12 secondary school physics students to get their alternative conceptions; and re-analyzed 23 earlier studies on the same topic. This paper is exclusively on natural concepts and energy fundamentals, and it found physicists and students had a significant understanding gap. As a result, the contradiction in understanding of the energy concepts must be applied to the development of an energy lesson plan by narrowing the gap between physicists’ and students’ understanding
