    Get PDF
    Kaedah penyampaian ilmu berubah dari semasa ke semasa mengikut zaman. Pada zaman mutakhir ini setelah berlakunya perkembangan yang drastik dalam bidang teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi, (ICT) perubahan yang drastik juga turut berlaku dalam bidang pendidikan. Perkembangan yang pesat dalam bidang teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi banyak mempengaruhi teknik penyampaian ilmu di semua premis pendidikan termasuklah masjid serta surau dan seumpamanya.Penggunaan peralatan TMK (ICT) banyak membantu para guru atau muallim dalam penyampaian ilmu kepada anak didik dan juga masyarakat.Pada masa dahulu para guru dan ustaz terpaksa memikul alat bantu mengajar untuk mengajar anak didik di premis masing-masing dan para muallim hanya menggunakan kapur dan percakapan sahaja atau kaedah tradisional ini disebut sebagai “chalk and talk” dan tentu sekali agak membosankan. Pada zaman ini para guru hanya membawa peralatan TMK (ICT) yang dikenali sebagai” pendrive” sebesar ibu jari untuk dibawa ke kelas.Semua bahan pengajaran yang diajar pada hari itu boleh disimpan dan diekseskan semula melalui komputer riba atau” laptop” dan dipancarkan ke atas skrin melalui projektor LCD. Kaedah pengajaran ini lebih berkesan jika dibandingkan dengan kaedah tradisional “Chalk and talk’. Dengan menggunakan peralatan ICT pengajaran dapat disampaikan dengan lebih berkesan kerana peralatan ini dapat merangsangkan deria dan minda pelajar secara berterusan sepanjang pengajaran berlangsung.Senario pembelajaran seperti ini turut dialami oleh komuniti masjid dalam menimba ilmu di masjid yang merupakan premis pembelajaran sepanjang hayat.Melalui kajian ini pihak pengkaji memberi tumpuan sepenuhnya kepada komuniti masjid daripada lima buah masjid dalam daerah Kuala Terengganu iaitu Masjid Zainal Abidin, Masjid Al Muktafibillah ,Masjid Al Tohiri Gelugor, Masjid Al Mutaqim dan Masjid Tok Jamal. Objektif kajian ini ialah untuk membuktikan keberkesanan penggunaan ICT dalam kuliah agama di masjid-masjid kajian.Jumlah responden untuk kajian ini ialah seramai 50 orang iaitu terdiri daripada 10 orang responden bagi setiap masjid kajian Pengkaji memilih kaedah kajian kualitatif untuk kajian ini kerana maklumat yang diperolehi lebih tepat dan sahih. Adalah diharapkan bahawa dapatan kajian ini dapat menokok tambah dapatan yang telah disumbangkan oleh ramai pengkaji yang terdahulu dalam berbagai aspek lain. Pengkaji juga berharap dapatan kajian ini akan digunakan sebagai maklumat asas oleh pengkaji lain untuk melajutkan kajian mereka pada masa hadapan. Daripada hasil penemuan kajian ini pengkaji mendapati bahawa penggunaan ICT dalam kuliah agama di lima buah masjid yang dipilih untuk kajian ini terbukti mendatangkan kesan yang positif kepada komuniti masjid .

    Application of Micro-learning In Structured OER (SOER) for Online Learning

    Get PDF
    In today’s world, learners who are rapid in a self-pacing, tight schedule, and involves in a multiple tasks job are in favour to types of learning that is short with a quickly absorbs learning resources at a specific learning point. The content delivery relies on the complexity of the concept of the content itself. The learning structure needs to reflect the ordered relationship of intellectual skill (as stated by Jonassen, Hannum & Tessmer, 1989 p. 38). The tasks laid out in the learning structure depend on the complexity of the content. The content that reflects the skill and knowledge needs to be organized in an orderly and logical manner based on the level to create a clear learning path. The need for direct guidance is crucial in online learning. Kirschner, Sweller, and Clark (2006) conversely define direct guidance instruction as “providing information that fully explains the concepts and procedures that students are required to learn.” (As stated in Hmelo-Silver, Duncan & Chinn, 2007) The project aims to design a MOOC course that will be delivered entirely online. The project is also intent on exploring the microlearning techniques applied in the course design. Most of the content in the courses are OER that are structured (structured OER) through a scaffolding technique. The numbers of topics are limited to two (2) subjects for each course. Most of the content in the learning structure contains OER by creative commons (CC) license that can be shared, reused and remix. Microlearning techniques are used to formulate the framework of the entire instructional system from enrolment to certification. The outcome of this project is an initial learning prototype on an instructional design course delivered via a Moodle-based learning management system , so-called as TippingMind School of Learning (TMSOL).

    The purpose of this paper is to examine prospective learners’ preferred media channel with regards to open distance learning advertisements. This research focuses on two types of media channels, i.e. traditional and new media. This paper segments prospective learners based on their demographical characteristics, such as gender and age. A descriptive study was conducted to assess the media preferences based on generational cohort, and to measure the differences in perception between genders. Self-administered questionnaires were used to obtain meaningful data from 234 potential learners in Malaysia. The study was conducted from February to March 2020. Based on the findings, there is a significant difference in perception towards open distance learning advertisements between genders, in which female respondents appear more receptive towards advertisements. A majority of the generational cohort rates social media as the most preferred media channel, followed by newspaper and television. However, each generation has its respective media preferences. The ANOVA results have revealed a slight difference in academic advertisements and media likeability among generational cohorts. This study adds to the literature of integrated marketing communication. The findings have strong implications to both academic and open distance learning institutions, particularly in the aspect of prospective learners’ acceptance of advertisements in media channels.

    Cybersafety in education for the 21st century: A comparative study of Malaysia and Thailand

    Get PDF
    Education for the 21st Century must recognise cybersafety issues faced by students in schools. Cybersecurity threats are everywhere and students must be able to cope with an environment where cyber threats and risks persist. What are these threats and risks and how do students in Malaysia and Thailand handle them? This paper attempts to compare and contrast cybersafety issues among school students in Malaysia and Thailand. The sample for this survey comprised 1,896 students from Malaysia and 1,336 students from Thailand. The quantitative research approach was used to explore and confirm relationship among variables. Four important factors influencing cybersafety among students in Malaysia comprise i. availability of help through significant others, parents and teachers (including counsellors), ii. accessing negative sites, iii. tendency to hide things from parents, and iv. feeling of discomfort when surfing negative sites. On the other hand, factors in Thailand include: i. ready availability of help if bullied or proper avenues are available, ii. victim of cyberbullying, iii. experiences of cyberbullying, and iv. experiences with accessing negative websites. The findings showed high construct reliability and high construct validity which was confirmed through Structural Equation Modeling. The study showed that Malaysia and Thailand’s cybersafety issues differed significantly (p < .05) in 6 constructs, i.e. i. existence of problematic situations or negative experiences, ii. peer pressure, iii. parent-children gap, iv. sexting, v. cyber-bullying, and vi. dealing with negative experience or mediation strategies. The study recommended the following: i. parents in both Malaysia and Thailand should play a pivotal role in their children’s well-being in cybersafety issues, ii. Malaysia and Thailand should develop local-based strategies to suit local contexts in cybersafety issues, and iii. overcoming new cyber risks in Malaysia and Thailand should follow best practices in other countries which have successfully overcome them.

    Teaching and learning via chatbots with immersive and machine learning capabilities

    Get PDF
    Chatbot is a computer program that simulates human conversation through voice commands or text chats or both. Chatbots are designed to convincingly simulate how a human would behave as a conversational partner. Chatbots with artificial intelligence technology can be used to teach the students by turning a lecture in a series of messages to make it look like a standardised chat conversation. The paper describes the development of intelligent chatbots that had been built for Java programming course. Most of the learning courseware/systems to learn Java programming language are merely repository of static and monotonous contents such as hyperlinked online tutorials, video lectures, etc. In order to address these shortcomings, seven text-based conversational chatbots for the students to learn Java in an interactive and engaging manners had been built. Each of these chatbots focuses on different programming concepts or constructs. These chatbots support learning of Java via problem-solving steps through “learning by doing”. The unique features of these chatbots are (i) The chatbots are self-contained, interconnected and are able to initiate a learning process for a particular learning outcome and provide feedback to a student as they are working through problems; (ii) These chatbots are able to engage the learners’ in the “one-toone” session of the problem-solving process for more than one-hour through conversing with a student; and (iii) It supports immersive learning in order simulate the realistic scenarios and environments that give learners the opportunity to practice skills and interact with the simulated tutor. These chatbots acquired its intelligence through a hybrid approach that combines pattern-matching technique and machine learning algorithm in order to formulate its responses. The feedback from the students who used these chatbots and the effect of these chatbots on the students’ understanding of the subject matter were favourable as discussed in the paper.
