Sikap Pelajar Terhadap Pembelajaran Flipped Classroom dalam Subjek Matematik: Sorotan Literatur Bersistematik
No full textKonsep pembelajaran flipped classroom merupakan trend terbaharu dan salah satu teknologi dalam PdPc untuk pembelajaran abad ke-21. Pendekatan flipped classroom merupakan salah satu kaedah pembelajaran untuk mengatasi kesukaran dan menarik minat pelajar untuk mempelajari matematik. Walau bagaimanapun, masih terdapat kajian yang terhad mengkaji secara sistematik literatur sedia ada yang berkaitan dengan sikap pelajar terhadap pembelajaran flipped classrooom dalam subjek matematik. Kajian sistematik ini adalah untuk mensintesis kajian empirikal berkaitan sikap pelajar terhadap pembelajaran flipped classrooom dalam subjek matematik. Sebanyak 22 artikel yang berkaitan dari tahun 2018 sehingga 2022 dipilih dari dua pangkalan data iaitu Scopus dan Web of Science (WOS). Bagi memastikan kajian ini dijalankan secara sistematik, garis panduan oleh Model PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses) telah digunakan. Kajian ini mendapati tiga tema yang berkaitan dengan sikap pelajar terhadap pembelajaran dalam flipped classroom iaitu video, pedagogi, dan suasana bilik darjah. Berdasarkan dapatan kajian, aspek yang mempunyai kekerapan paling tinggi ialah aspek penglibatan pelajar dan diikuti dengan pembelajaran kendiri. Kajian juga mendapati United States telah banyak menerbitkan artikel dalam tempoh lima tahun yang lalu. Oleh itu, kajian yang lebih mendalam menggunakan pengkalan data yang lebih banyak boleh digunakan dan juga kajian dalam konteks guru

Persepsi Pelajar Terhadap Kursus Akademik Keusahawanan: Kajian Empirikal
No full textPendidikan keusahawanan telah diperkenalkan sejak dulu lagi di institusi pendidikan bagi melahirkan graduan yang mempunyai pemikiran keusahawanan. Silibus dan kandungan di dalam kursus akademik keusahawanan perlu sentiasa relevan mengikut arus semasa. Justeru itu, kajian ini dilakukan bagi mengenal pasti persepsi pelajar prasiswazah terhadap kursus akademik keusahawanan yang ditawarkan di Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). Seramai 115 orang pelajar prasiswazah yang terlibat dalam kajian ini. Dapatan kajian mendapati persepsi pelajar terhadap kursus tersebut adalah tinggi. Tambahan lagi, analisis korelasi Spearman Rho menunjukkan terdapat hubungan signifikan antara persepsi dengan niat keusahawanan manakala latar belakang keluarga pelajar mempengaruhi niat menjadi usahawan.

It’s Not Enough to Speak, But to Speak True: Revisiting the Whistleblower Protection Law in Malaysia
No full textThis research analyses the gaps and weaknesses in the existing legislative framework for whistleblower protection in Malaysia. The study found two main issues in the Malaysian Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 dealing with the disclosure of wrongdoings. They are the limited disclosure channel and an act of disclosure of information is an offence under other legislation. The protection for whistleblowers becomes vulnerable with the current restraints. Whistleblowing has significantly become one of the critical requirements in society as a medium to curb corruption. By analysing the weaknesses of this Act, the research contributes to the body of knowledge and plays a critical role in proposing to the policymakers for advocating some enhancement in the future for the sake of a whistleblower’s safety. The research adopts doctrinal and qualitative methodology. A content analysis through analytical legal approach is employed by examining the Malaysian existing law. A brief reference analysis is conducted on the United Kingdom Public Interest Disclosure Act 2010 and the Employment Act 1996. Thus, salient improvements of law provisions are recommended to better regulate the existing laws in Malaysia. The findings demonstrate the need for practical strength of amendments to protect the whistleblower due to unpredictable consequences. To date, potential whistleblowers are discouraged from disclosing information if the system is incapable of protecting them from fearing a backlash against them. The proposals suggested changes to the legislation to provide a good practice of guidance in handling concerns of wrongdoings

Native Paddy Cultivation: Understanding of the Practice and Crop Management among Sarawak’s Farmers
No full textNative paddy is widely acknowledged for its authentic taste and fragrance but is often reported with low yield. Hence, the objective of this paper was to identify the practice and crop management of native paddy in Sarawak. About 56 targeted participants who actively cultivated native paddy were surveyed from January to June 2021. Our results have revealed their background and management contributed the most to the yield where no irrigation system, low fertiliser application, and the possibility of impurity seedlings become the significant constraints. Besides, unpredictable weather and long-distance travel to buy agricultural supplies worsened this problem. The participants apply fertiliser in low amounts compared to their cultivation areas (>2.5 ha), and those who mixed cropping will share the fertiliser with another crop. Paddy varieties such as Rotan (Wai), Biris, and others need a longer period of growth (5½ months) and are cultivated once a year. This showed unproductive production and a high infestation of pests and diseases. Therefore, we suggest intensive paddy cultivation by addressing the issues found in this study

Scoping Review: Appropriate Big Ideas of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology to Teach in Chemistry for Secondary School
No full textIn the last decade, the nanotechnology sector is rising to take over the manufacturing of consumer products including pharmaceuticals. Due to the rapid advancement of nanotechnology, Malaysia has also taken the lead by introducing nanotechnology to Form Five students in 2021 following the revision of curricula in 2017. While research on which big ideas in nanotechnology to teach is still lacking around the world, the goal of this scoping review was to identify appropriate big ideas of nanotechnology to include in the secondary school curriculum, as well as students' and teachers' perspectives on teaching and learning nanotechnology using the Model of Educational Reconstruction (MER). The scoping review was conducted by adopting a framework with five stages which are (1) identifying the research question, (2) identifying relevant studies, (3) study selection, (4) charting the data, and (5) collating, summarizing, and reporting the results. From the 30 pertinent articles included in this paper, it was found that big ideas that were used in many of the included articles are size and scale, self-assembly, size-dependent properties, volume-to-surface area concept, and applications of nanotechnology. Students were most likely to perform well when they are given tasks after learning nanotechnology with one or two of the big ideas of nanotechnology. Students gave positive feedback when they learned this unit with hands-on activities, using models, and when they attend nanotechnology conferences, whereas teachers wanted more courses on teaching nanotechnology to be provided because most science teachers were trained before nanotechnology was included in science teachers' educational program. Overall, experts feel that while deciding the big ideas of nanotechnology to teach, teachers' perspectives on the appropriateness of nanotechnology's insertion point into the current curriculum should be considered
Peranan Sukarelawanan Untuk Membentuk Bandar Selamat
