Investigating learning difficulties in economics English medium classes among Malay students / Roslilee Ab. Halim and Norliwa Ab. Halim
Get PDFEnglish language is spoken globally where many people in the world purposely learn it as a second language. In order to prepare students to venture into this global world and be part of the growing society, many universities are using English as the medium of instruction in lectures or tutorials. For most Malay students whose mother tongue is not English, the level of English proficiency might influence their capability in comprehending the courses taught. A very minimal ability in English would lead to learning difficulties. This will definitely disturb the learning process. As such, the main objective of the paper is to investigate the learning difficulties faced by the Malay students in comprehending the subject with English as the medium of instruction. 100 questionnaires were distributed among Malay students who enrolled for Economics courses. The selection of sample was based on simple random technique. The findings showed that the overall degree of students’ comprehension in their Economics English-medium classes is at the average level and that the comprehension level will improve if the lecturers reexplain in their mother tongue language which is Malay (M=4.14). About half of the respondents were found to respond that the difficulties in understanding Economics were due to either solely to the difficulty they had with English language or at least part of the difficulty was due to English
English-medium instruction and learning difficulties in economics courses among malay students / Norliwa Ab Halim and Roslilee Ab Halim
Get PDFEnglish language is used globally nowadays. In order to prepare students to venture into this global world and be part of the growing society, students are exposed to the language where most universities are using English as a medium of instruction in lectures or tutorials. Therefore, for students to be able to learn in English they have to understand the language in the first place. For most Malay students whose mother tongue is not English, the level of English proficiency might influence their capability in comprehending the courses taught. A very minimal ability in English would lead to learning difficulties. This will definitely disturb the learning process. As Economics is one of the courses learnt in English in UiTM Pahang, researchers aim to investigate the learning difficulties faced by the Malay students in comprehending the subject with English as the medium of instruction. 100 questionnaires were distributed among Economics students. The selection of sample was based on simple random technique. The findings showed that the overall degree of students' comprehension is not high and that the comprehension level will improve if the lecturers re-explain in their mother tongue language which is Malay (M=4.14). About half of the respondents were found to respond that the difficulties in understanding Economics were due to either solely to the difficulty they had with English language or at least part of the difficulty was due to English
Perspektif ilmu kolonial tentang hukum Islam dan masyarakat di Tanah Melayu: Analisis terhadap karya-karya terpilih / Halim @ Ab. Halim Ismail
Get PDFKedatangan kolonial British ke Tanah Melayu telah menyumbang kepada pembinaan korpus keilmuan tentang agama dan budaya masyarakat timur. Ia boleh dinamakan sebagai ilmu kolonial. Namun begitu, pendekatan yang digunapakai oleh sarjana kolonial berasaskan paradigma euro-centric telah menghasilkan perspektif berbeza terhadap kebudayaan dan pola keagamaan masyarakat Melayu Islam di Tanah Melayu. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini dijalankan bagi mengenalpati secara khusus perspektif ilmu kolonial terhadap budaya dan hukum Islam yang diamalkan dalam masyarakat Melayu melalui karya-karya sarjana kolonial secara terpilih. Bagi mencapai objektif tersebut, kajian kualitatif ini menggunakan pendekatan perpustakaan sepenuhnya dengan merujuk karya sarjana kolonial di Tanah Melayu, misalnya karya Raffles, Wilkinson, Winstedt dan Swettenham. Karya-karya ini dianalisis secara kandungan dengan
pengenalpastian terhadap tema-tema terpilih dalam isu berkaitan dengan budaya Melayu dan hukum Islam. Hasil kajian mendapati pandangan mereka dalam korpus keilmuan yang dipanggil sebagai ilmu kolonial sarat dengan elemen negatif terhadap budaya dan masyarakat Melayu yang mana ia menjadi asas kepada pendekatan mereka sebagai duta peradaban dan ketamadunan (ambassadors of civilization) yang terbeban di bahu mereka (the white men’s burden) dalam siri penjajahan Tanah Melayu. Justeru, ilmu kolonial perlu dinilai semula agar citra positif budaya dan hukum Islam di Tanah Melayu terpelihara dengan baik
Membudayakan profesionalisme guru Pendidikan Islam yang cemerlang
Get PDFMembudaya profesionalisme guru Pendidikan Islam memberi maksud untuk membiasakan sesuatu tingkah laku yang baik supaya berbudaya atau beradab dengan sifat kemampuan, kemahiran, dan cara pelaksanaan sebagaimana yang sewajarnya dilakukan oleh seorang yang bersifat profesional (Anom, 2005). Tingkah laku profesional tersebut pula dikaitkan dengan tatacara kehidupan guru Pendidikan Islam yang berlandaskan di atas landasan cemerlang guru dari perspektif Islam (Jasmi, Kamarul Azmi, 2008d; Jasmi, 2010; Jasmi & Nawawi, 2012).Tulisan ini akan cuba mengupas sikap membudayakan profesionalisme guru Pendidikan Islam yang cemerlang yang terdiri daripada budaya pengajaran yang cemerlang yang berinovasi (Tamuri, Ab. Halim et al., 2004; Tamuri, Ab Halim et al., 2012b; Sulaiman & Jasmi, 2013; Nawawi & Jasmi, 2013; Jasmi & Salleh, 2013; Jasmi, 2013; Ilias et al., 2013), budaya kecekapan bertahap tinggi (Shuib, 2006; Abdullah & Ngang, 2006), budaya sosial yang versatile (Jasmi et al., 2007; Zaid & Jasmi, 2012), dan budaya keilmuan yang bertaraf mampan (Jasmi & Tamuri, 2007c; Jasmi, Kamaru Azmi, 2014)
Kejadian khalwat di Bandaraya Pulau Pinang (Perbincangan khas dengan Bukit Mertajam) / Ab. Halim Ab. Hamid
Get PDFThe proposed research study is somewhat related to the decline in moral sex which is observed to be widespread and is now covering a very large portion in our country. It is one of the social problems which has been very much discussed. The choice of “khalwat” as the main themes of this research study is due to the serious condition as one type of sexual promiscuity. The Islamic laws has clearly stated that the religion Islam forbids the action of “khalwat”. However, it is yet still widespread although it should be a strong principle of Islam in our country. This research is based on the following stated hypothesis:-
(i) Khalwat (close proximity) develop according to the degree of modernization increase. It si widespread in agrees which is undergoing rapid social and economic change.
(ii) Khalwat occurs in a society which is more interested with the individual materials rather than the welfare of the society as a whole.
(iii) Khalwat is commited by persons who have low religious concepts and at the same time manifestation of the deprivation of legitime access to legitimate means of sexual gratification. Therefore, urbanization is basically the effect of living in which is found characteristics of conflict of norms, rapid social changes, increased mobility of the population, emphasis on material goods and individualism, decline in intimate communication and increased release from formal and informal control.
The characterization in turn create a sense of frustration and give rise to situation which is conducive to khalwat including sexual deviance. When legitimate means of achieving desired social goal is blocked, man will seek other means to reach that goal. The research study is carried out with reference to the cases of khalwat in Penang with comparisons to cases in Bukit Mertajam. The research is done with the analysis of dates from the Syariah court in both areas. The studied dates are information of places, time, age, occupation, sex and race. The problems faced in developing moral and also suggestions and steps to be to overcome these problems are explained at the end of the study

Hydrodynamic modelling of Sungai Skudai/ Zulkifli Ab. Halim
Get PDFThe aim of the study is to obtain the hydrodynamic characteristic of the Sungai Skudai. It will assist in assessing the impact of development along the downstream stretch of the river. With a knowledge of the existing water levels, velocity and discharge along any cross section of the river the Mike21 modeling software is able to predict future changes in its flow. The objective of the modeling is to simulate flow patterns in the specified area during one tidal cycle with the inputs of water levels at all open boundaries and consequently the model is able to produce a variation of levels and velocities with time at any position within the boundaries. The data collected from field observation were used to further calibrate and verify this model to ensure it is predicting the existing conditions accurately
