Abstract

The evolution of pictures has brought changes to communication in the current time. From smoke signal to smartphones as a medium of communication, has enabled people to keep in touch with one another easier. The development of technology produces internet which is essential to every humankind around the world. With the help of internet, people could now upload pictures, especially Selfies, and post them on social media for others to view and respond to them. Through this medium of sharing over the social media, Selfies are used to deliver messages to facilitate communication better by saying their mind out on what they see and think. Hence, this study was carried out to examine the effects of Selfie as prompt to generate ideas for narrative writing among undergraduates in a local higher education in Malaysia. The findings had shown significant improvement in undergraduates’ writing in term of ideas coherency and text length. It was observed that undergraduates were able to narrate their experiences and stories related to their own Selfies as compared to non-pictorial writing. As a whole, the use of Selfie as prompt had improved undergraduates’ writing ability as well as their level of confidence in language expression.

Abstract

The concept of gamification has spread widely in recent years supported by the development of technology, especially due to the plethora of computers and video games and game apps for other devices. Gamification is the use of game thinking and game mechanics in non-game contexts that support play to engage users in solving problems or created for teaching and learning purposes. Gamification does not mean creating games but making education more engaging and fun with play for learners, without undermining its credibility. In modern education, lessons delivery is associated with the lack of engagement and motivation of learners to participate actively in the learning process. Teachers are increasingly faced with the problem of how to integrate technology and to impart good language learning habits at the level of primary school in Malaysia. Hence, the aim of this study is to propose a conceptual model of analogue gamification to enhance primary school learners’ motivation and attitude.

Abstract

Teachers are accustomed to traditional teaching, in which chalk-and-talk becomes the prominent approach in language teaching. Hence, planning a creative learning environment can be demanding as it comes with challenging tasks. However, the traditional way of teaching and learning can be inadequate for learners to retrieve knowledge in the 21st century classroom, as they prefer game-like activities rather than pen-and-paper lessons. Therefore, learners’ experience of using gamification in the classroom is significant as it sparks curiosity and immediate enthusiasm, which reflect the learners’ willingness to learn. Importantly, gamification prepares learners to be active and take responsibility for their learning. Fun games instilled during the lessons are believed to be more effective in producing positive outcomes due to learners feeling motivated to play more. However, learners would not realize that they are learning. This was followed by a selection of 108 respondents using gamification and a series of class activities in language learning at a local primary school in Kuala Selangor district, Selangor. The study was conducted using a quantitative survey method which involved administering questionnaires to the Language Camp participants at their respective schools. Data was collected, analyzed accordingly, and presented in the form of tables. The results showed that the integration of gamification in language learning aids learners to improve their creative, critical, and problem-solving skills. Likewise, interesting and engaging activities subconsciously spark the learners’ interest in language learning.

Abstract

In the era of digitalisation, working parents today rely more than ever on electronic gadgets as digital babysitters and device-led playtime to entertain their children. The study suggests that parents and their interactions with the home environment may contribute to shaping children’s screen time. However, many struggle to keep up with the immense variety of mobile applications easily downloaded online. Thus, long screen time exposure inhibits children’s ability to engage actively in physical activities as well as affects children’s well-being development. This scoping review aims to identify parental perceptions of children’s exposure to screens for a long period of time and how screen time affects children’s well-being. Five databases, including Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (BASE), Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), and ScienceDirect, were used in this research. In the initial identification stage, 218 articles were identified from the mentioned databases above. However, there were only 81 articles found to be assessed for eligibility. A total of 34 articles are eligible for analysis and reference after the exclusion and inclusion process for data collection. The findings show that the increased exposure to screens raised concerns about potential negative effects on children’s emotions and behaviour.

Abstract

To gain a comprehensive understanding of job burnout among Chinese university teachers, this study examined the impact of teachers' psychological capital on job burnout from the perspective of organizational identification. A survey was conducted among 350 teachers from five colleges and universities in Henan Province of China using a convenient sampling method. Data were analyzed using SPSS23.0 and process macros. The findings revealed that while teachers' psychological capital and organizational identification are generally high, there is a moderate level of job burnout. Furthermore, there was a substantial positive link found between teachers' psychological capital and organizational identification, with psychological capital significantly predicting organizational identification. Both psychological capital and organizational identification demonstrated significant negative correlations with job burnout, plus substantial predictive effects. Mediation analysis suggested that organizational identification partially mediates the relationship between teachers' psychological capital and job burnout.

Abstract

In the contemporary educational landscape, the outcome-based education (OBE) philosophy has emerged as a pivotal approach, emphasizing the achievement of specific outcomes in the learning process. This study delves into the intricate relationship between physical education assessment methodologies for university students under the OBE framework and their subsequent social adaptability. This study used a sample of 100 physical education elective students from Qilu Normal University. It employed experimental and questionnaire methods to measure the effects of OBEdriven physical education assessment. Preliminary findings suggest a positive correlation between holistic assessment techniques, which consider physical prowess and cognitive understanding, and enhanced social adaptability among students. This adaptability was measured in teamwork, conflict resolution, and interpersonal communication. The study underscores the potential of the OBE philosophy in reshaping physical education curricula, making it more aligned with the broader objective of holistic student development. Further research is recommended to explore the longterm impacts of such assessment methods on students’ post-university life and career trajectories.

Abstract

Teaching is a demanding profession that necessitates complex social and emotional skills. It has frequently been linked to negative outcomes such as tension, turnover, and job discontent. Every day, preschool educators interact with children and adults and must always maintain emotional control. This study aimed to examine the relationship between emotional labor and job satisfaction among preschool teachers. The study utilized a self-questionnaire; 280 first-line preschool teachers in Henan Province, Mainland, China, were selected to disseminate questionnaires. The overall mean score for emotional labor among preschool teachers was 3.90, indicating that these teachers are required to perform a great deal of emotional labor at work. Deep acting received the highest score, surface acting the second highest, and natural acting the lowest. There were considerable differences in emotional labor based on gender, kindergarten type, marital status, age, and job position. The correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between preschool teachers’ emotional labor and job satisfaction. A regression analysis revealed that deep acting positively predicted job satisfaction by a mean of 28.4%.
