No full textMetodologi berfikir dalam pembelajaran dan pemudahcaraan (PdPc) kemahiran berfikir Aras Tinggi (KBAT) di bilik darjah berfikrah
No full textKeunikan manusia terletak pada keinginan mereka untuk mengetahui sesuatu. Sifat inkuiri ini menjadikan manusia sebagai makhluk Allah swt yang istimewa. Bahkan, manusia mempunyai keupayaan intelek yang membolehkan kita berfikir untuk membuat sebarang tindakan. Walau bagaimanapun, keupayaan intelek perlu dipupuk untuk meningkatkan kualiti berfikir seseorang. Oleh itu, kajian ini dijalankan secara kualitatif untuk meneroka amalan berfikir guru dalam pembelajaran dan pemudahcaraan (PdPc) Kemahiran Berfikir Aras Tinggi (KBAT) di bilik darjah. Data dikumpulkan melalui temu bual dan pemerhatian separa berstruktur terhadap sembilan informan yang mendapat pendedahan awal tentang penggunaan alat berfikir dalam PdPc di bilik darjah di sekolah Showcase Program i-THINK Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM). Data yang dianalisis secara tematik bertema mendapati metodologi berfikir guru dalam PdPc KBAT di bilik darjah berfikrah boleh diklasifikasikan kepada tiga bahagian, iaitu prinsip berfikir (Bahasa Pemikiran dan Tingkah laku Berfikir); kaedah berfikir (Tabiat Berfikir, Semangat Insani dan Gaya Berfikir); dan alat berfikir. Metodologi berfikir ini adalah keupayaan kendiri yang tidak mampu dilaksanakan oleh semua orang kerana proses ini menuntut usaha yang bukan sedikit. Bahkan, metodologi berfikir ini merupakan suatu mekanisme pemangkin dalam PdPc KBAT. Justeru, seseorang guru itu perlu berfikir di luar konteks kebiasaan, melihat sesuatu dari pelbagai sudut pandangan yang berbeza dan bersedia menghadapi pelbagai bentuk kemungkinan yang menyusul
Konsep amalan komuniti pembelajaran profesional
No full textPembangunan profesionalisme yang berterusan merupakan elemen penting yang yang terkandung dalam Pelan Pembangunan Pendidikan 2013-2025. Hal ini jelas menunjukkan bahawa kualiti guru amat dititikberatkan dalam memastikan pendidikan yang terbaik dapat diberikan. Maka satu pendekatan telah diperkenalkan dengan pembudayaan konsep Komuniti Pembelajaran Profesional (KPP). Keadaan ini dilaksanakan bagi menjayakan keberkesanan perubahan bilik darjah yang berlaku selaras dengan Pembelajaran Abad ke 21 (PA 21). Justeru ini jelas menunjukkan bahawa pembangunan profesionalisme kalangan guru perlu dijalankan di semua peringkat . Amalan ini mampu mengubah budaya pembangunan profesionalisme guru sekaligus mewujudkan pendidikan yang lebih bermakna. Selain daripada itu juga, pemimpin sekolah perlu bertindak secara pro aktif bagi memastikan perkongsian pintar dengan pemegang taruh (stakeholders) dapat ditingkatkan dalam usaha memperkasakan penyampaian pdpc. Berdasarkan senario tersebut, kertas konsep ini akan membincangkan (i) definisi KPP (ii) konsep amalan KPP di sekolah dan (iii) isu-isu dalam pelaksanaan amalan KPP
Analisis isu dan permasalahan dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran pendidikan islam program pendidikan khas integrasi (PPKI)
No full textKajian ini membincangkan mengenai permasalahan dan isu dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran (pdp) Pendidikan Islam bagi Program Pendidikan Khas Integrasi (PPKI) penglihatan. Program Pendidikan Khas Integrasi dilaksanakan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia di sekolahsekolah harian biasa dan juga melalui Program Pendidikan Inklusif (PPI) dengan mencantumkan murid berkeperluan khas (MBK) dengan murid tipikal (arus perdana) di dalam satu kelas. Mengikut akta Pendidikan Khas 1997 Bahagian II 3[2], seseorang murid dengan keperluan khas adalah boleh dididik jika mereka mampu untuk mengurus diri sendiri tanpa bergantung kepada orang lain. Masalah timbul apabila proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran (pdp) untuk murid Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU) memerlukan perancangan yang rapi berbanding murid arus perdana. Sebagai contohnya, murid OKU penglihatan memerlukan tenaga pengajar yang mahir dalam menggunakan Braille. Bagi proses pdp Pendidikan Islam, faktor kekurangan guru yang menguasai Kod Braille al-Quran, penggunaan BBM dan alat multimedia yang bersesuaian dengan mereka menjadi cabaran utama dalam memartabatkan murid PPKI. Penyediaan kemudahan al-Quran Braille Digital, buku teks Braille dan BBM terkini dilihat sebagai satu usaha yang sangat bermakna dalam meningkatkan kecemerlangan proses pdp murid OKU penglihatan

No full textThe relationship of customers satisfaction and corporate image in government initiative influencing customers loyalty in Terengganu
No full textVarious studies have been conducted to evaluate the relationship between customers satisfaction towards big
companies in Malaysia. Nevertheless, the study of customer satisfaction on services provided by the government has not been
much. Furthermore, study focusing on Terengganu state administration has not yet been done. Thus, the objective of this
study is to look at the effectiveness of government programs and initiatives on young people based on the quality of service
offered, government corporate image, customer satisfaction as a consumer to government service and to observe customer
loyalty. Quantitative data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents comprising participants of the
Terengganu Graduate Transformation Program (TGTP) who had been more than one year following the program. The
TGTP participants are university leavers who have been given the opportunity to serve in several agencies and government
departments throughout Terengganu. They are given exposure to government administration in various positions in line with
their education background and interest. The data were analysed using the IBM SPSS Statistics (Statistics Package for the
Social Sciences) software aimed at looking at the relationship between the service aspects offered by the government through
various initiatives and programs in Terengganu. The relationship is measured in order to look at the strong bonding which
forms the customer loyalty behavior. The findings show that there is a direct relationship between service quality, corporate
image influencing customer satisfaction and customer loyalty
GRP in Malaysia: the vertical and horizontal approaches
No full textRegulatory inconsistencies generate significant trade, and other economic and
administrative costs. The inconsistencies may be attributed to unintended actions
of fragmentation and complexity of regulators, without taking into consideration of
federal, state and local government requirements. In other words, the interventions
made into economic activities, not just have created additional burdens to the
businesses but also to the all three-level governments in Malaysia. With the
growing use of regulatory management tools by both APEC, World Bank and
OECD, Malaysia has established an evidence-based ex-post evaluation to
strengthen good regulatory practices. The Malaysian Government has published
guidance documents on Good Regulatory Practice (GRP) Tools, with the latest
being namely vertical and horizontal ex-post evaluation.
This paper deliberates on the techniques implemented by Malaysia Productivity
Corporation (MPC) on detecting unnecessary regulatory burdens through reviews
of successful case studies. The contents are sourced from MPC’s latest publications
and minutes of meetings of the highest echelon in Malaysia Public-Private
collaboration projects
A fatal case of non-typhoidal salmonella pyogenic pericardial effusion in an immunocompetent adolescent
No full textSalmonella is divided into classical Typhoid and Non-typhoidal serotype (NTS). It is
transmitted via fecal oral route. Pericardium involvement in salmonellosis is estimated to be
less than 2% of all cases and has mortality rate as high as 50%. 70% of pericarditis cases were
identified to be immunosuppressed. Herein, we report a fatal case of non-typhoidal
salmonella pyogenic pericardial effusion in an immunocompetent adolescent. A 16-years-old
boy was referred for CXR finding suggestive of pericardial effusion. He had prolonged cough
for 8 months duration, associated with breathlessness and failure symptoms. He had
intermittent fever but denied gastrointestinal symptom. Examination revealed signs in
consistent with Beck’s triad. Transthoracic echocardiography showed massive effusion and
loculations with temponade effect. Subsequent pericardial fluid culture yielded S enteritidis.
He underwent pericardialcentesis twice and antibiotic therapy (augmentin, ceftriaxone,
ciprofloxacin and meropenam) for 3 weeks. His condition continued to deteriorate and
succumbed to death on third week of admission. Salmonella pyogenic pericardial effusion
often presents with non-specific cardiac or pulmonic symptomatology and diagnosis often
delayed. Echocardiography remained the best tool in confirming pericardial effusion.
Pericardialcentesis is vital as organism often detected in pericardial fluid. Salmonella
Enteritidis is the commonest organism. Aggressive treatment is crucial. Combination of
antibiotic and surgical drainage is the preferred method. Pyogenic non-typhoidal Salmonella
pericardial effusion is a rare but deadly disease. Aggressive combination treatment with
antibiotic and surgical drainage may improve outcome
Zeti Akhtar: ikon pembangunan sistem kewangan islam Malaysia
No full textZeti Akhtar dilantik sebagai Gabenor Bank Negara Malaysia ketujuh selama 16 tahun dan beliau
merupakan wanita pertama dilantik dalam jawatan tersebut. Beliau juga digelar sebagai pemimpin kewangan
negara dan telah menjadi salah seorang wanita yang paling berkuasa di Malaysia. Hasil pentadbiran di Bank
Negara, Malaysia berjaya menjalani pemulihan daripada krisis ekonomi yang melanda seluruh dunia lebih
pantas daripada yang dijangka. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji sumbangan Zeti Akhtar kepada
pembangunan sistem kewangan Islam di Malaysia. Keperluan kepada ikon tokoh kewangan yang berwibawa
seperti Zeti Akhtar amat perlu diketengahkan memandangkan di bawah pentadbiran beliau, terdapat pelbagai
inisiatif berkesan yang dilaksanakan telah memberi impak positif kepada sektor kewangan Islam. Kajian
kualitatif ini menggunakan reka bentuk kajian kes dan memperoleh data kajian melalui analisis dokumen.
Data berkaitan sumbangan Zeti Akhtar diperolehi daripada buku, akhbar dan ucapan rasmi. Data kajian ini
kemudiannya dianalisis dengan menggunakan kaedah analisis tema (thematic analysis). Dapatan kajian
menunjukan di bawah pimpinan Zeti Akhtar, kewangan Islam berkembang daripada sebuah segmen
kebitaraan (niche segment) kepada sistem kewangan arus perdana, dan daripada segmen yang bertumpukan
domestik kepada segmen yang relevan pada peringkat dunia. Kepakaran dan kewibawaan beliau bukan
sahaja diiktiraf oleh kerajaan Malaysia bahkan juga oleh dunia kewangan antarabangsa
Trend and missing data prediction model of PM10 in central region using ANN and MLR
No full textIncreasing concentrations of PM10 are identified to give harmful affect to human health. Trend analysis of PM10 for
the last six years starting from 2010 until 2015 in Central region Malaysia shows increased and decrease
concentration of the PM10 pollutant. Some of the PM10 concentration exceeds the Malaysia Ambient Air Quality
Guidelines which is 150 µg/m3
. In addition, the high Air Pollution Index (API) was assign to the high PM10
concentrations which was the main pollutant in the air. Despite their importance in determining the API level in
Malaysia, there are some missingness data of PM10 detected for certain day perhaps due to the failure of the
equipment. Therefore, missing data prediction of PM10 may give vital information with the intention of taking
actions for the public and government especially regarding the API levels which is the main indicator used to decide
the level of air quality. There are eight continuous air quality monitoring station in Central region which located in
Selangor (Klang, Petaling Jaya, Banting, Shah Alam, Kuala Selangor) and Kuala Lumpur (Batu Muda, Putrajaya,
Cheras). Meteorological and pollutant parameters analyzed for the missing data prediction model of PM10 in this
study include wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity and NOx, NO, SO2, NO2, CO, O3 respectively. In
this study, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) models conjointly PCA were
used to predict the concentration of PM10 missing data in Central region Malaysia. The results obtained from trend
analysis signified that each continuous air quality monitoring station in Central region give different concentrations
of PM10 with Klang continuous air quality monitoring station shows the highest concentration which is 581 µg/m3
in
June 2013. This possibly owing to the transboundary pollution from the great land and forest fires in Sumatra and
Kalimantan, Indonesia especially during the southwest monsoon (May until September) which is contributed to the
worsen air quality in Malaysia. Furthermore, locality of Klang continuous air quality monitoring station and
activities done within this region also give high PM10 concentration. For the missing data prediction model, inputs to
the models obtained from the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) include pearson coefficient with moderate
correlation (0.5-0.75) and pearson coefficient with high correlation (>0.75). All parameters (wind speed, wind
direction, temperature, humidity, NOx, NO, SO2, NO2, CO, O3) also being used as inputs besides inputs obtained
from PCA. Input parameters obtained from pearson coefficient with moderate correlation (0.5 - 0.75) and high
correlation (>0.75) seems not suitable to be applied onto Central regions whether by ANN or MLR model. The
results showed that all parameters as inputs use for ANN appeared to be promising with R2
up to 0.5343 and RMSE
up to 23.95. However, results obtained from MLR analysis using the same input parameters shows less accurate than
ANN with R2
and RMSE value obtained are 0.3478 and 27.65 respectively. It is concluded that ANN is capable to
predict the missing data concentration of PM10 rather than MLR model
