Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, universities in Malaysia implemented online learning. This long-time remote learning is very challenging to some university students. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of psychological well-being on depression, anxiety, and stress of university students on online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The quantitative data were collected from 325 students from a university in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia. The survey was conducted online through Google Forms. Two instruments used were Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the psychological well-being scale (PWBS-8). The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential methods. The study found that 34.9% of the students were depressed, 60.9% anxious, and 32% stressed. The study found that 23% of the variability in psychological well-being (PWB) affected university students’ depression, anxiety, and stress. This finding demonstrates the magnitude of burden that university students now bear during online learning. Therefore, higher education institutions can play a fundamental role in assisting students to cope with their depression, anxiety, and stress. Authorities should also prioritize determining appropriate student facilities and resources. Structured programmes for distress reduction and blended learning are suggested for use in teaching and learning.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the different levels of transformational leadership between male and female principals and their relationships with teachers' Innovative Work Behavior (IWB) in Malaysian secondary schools. In total, 477 teachers from various secondary schools were randomly selected as respondents (218 are working under female principals, while 259 of them are under male principals). This study revealed that the respondents agree that male principals practice transformational leadership higher than female principals. However, the female principals were highly influential on the teachers’ IWB compared to their male counterparts. This study provides a glimpse of the teachers' innovative behavior improvement resulted from transformational leadership by male and female school principals.

Abstract

Individuals with choleric temperaments easily get angry and can be problematic if not expressed appropriately. The purpose of this study was to identify gender differences in anger expressions among secondary school students. Respondents were secondary school students in four states in the Northern region of Malaysia. A total of 3348 students were involved, including 1,800 males and 1,548 females. Respondents aged between 13 and 16 were randomly selected from 20 secondary schools. Descriptive analyses and t-test were used to identify anger expressions among secondary school students. Findings showed that 780 respondents agreed that they are hot-tempered, while 2568 others did not. From the 780 hot-tempered respondents, 370 are males and 410 are females. A total of 3160 from the 3348 respondents did not meet their school counsellors for counselling sessions when they had anger problems. The findings also revealed a significant difference in four types of anger expressions between male and female students. They were in aggressive, verbal, intrinsic anger expression, and intrinsic anger control. The findings revealed that school counsellors need to equip students with specific, creative, and innovative interventions to cope with different anger expression.

Individu yang terpaksa melalui situasi ini akan mengalami perasaan putus asa kerana kesukaran untuk bergerak dan tidak berupaya melaksanakan tugasan harian dengan sempurna. Mereka akan menunjukkan tingkah laku dan gangguan emosi yang tidak stabil seperti terkejut, cemas, murung, marah, penyesuaian serta mengalami perubahan signifikan dalam perhubungansosial. Kesan seterusnya akan membawa kepada trauma dalam kehidupan harian mereka. Trauma yang dialami oleh OKU fizikal akibat sesuatu kemalangan didapati boleh mendatangkan kesan yang sangat mendalam. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti bagaimana OKU fizikal akibat kemalangan mengawal dan mengatasi trauma apabila menghadapi krisis sebagai OKU. Oleh itu, pendekatan kaunseling pemulihan secara berkelompok telah digunakan bertujuan membantu OKUmengenal pasti faktorpenyumbang kepada kebangkitan semula selepas mengalami kurang upaya fizikal akibat kemalangan. Kajian ini telah menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif terhadap 11 orang OKU fizikal akibat kemalangan. Kaedah ini sangat berkesan dalam membantu subjek menghuraikan secara mendalam pengalaman menghadapi krisis sebagai OKU dan langkah yang dilakukan untuk mengawal serta mengatasi trauma melalui luahan perkongsian, pendedahan kendiri dan perkembangan diri. Hasil kajian mendapati terdapat dua faktor utama iaitu dalaman dan luaran yang menjadi penyumbang kepada mengawal dan mengatasi trauma kesan daripada kehilangan anggota badan.Faktor dalaman melibatkan diri subjek sendiri manakala faktor luaran terbahagi kepada empat sub tema iaitu keluarga, ibu bapa, rakan dan masyarakat. Implikasi kajian menunjukkan individu yang mengalami kurang upaya fizikal sangat memerlukan perkhidmatan sokongan yang dapat membantu mereka untuk kembali pulih daripada krisis kehilangan anggota badan dan perasaan trauma tersebut.Kata kunci: OKU, kemalangan, trauma, krisis, upaya fizikal
