Abstract

The ability of instructional leadership practices in shaping positive school culture is well known. Similarly, it is also proven that this kind of school leadership could strengthen teachers’ commitment. However, the research tended to focus on conventional instructional leadership and the ability of virtual instructional leadership to produce such impact remains unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the influence of virtual instructional leadership on teachers’ commitment. Based on Meyer and Allen’s Organizational Commitment Model the research model developed and analyzed using partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The finding revealed a positive impact of principals’ virtual instructional leadership practices towards teachers’ commitment in schools. Despite this, the study also discovered that normative and continuous commitments are not the fit dimensions for teacher’s commitments in the context of virtual instructional leadership, which is quite shocking. Hence, this would be a fruitful area for further works.

Abstract

This article discusses the development procedures of the Tarannum Smart Learning Application (Tarannum-SLA). It is a teaching and learning aid that has been developed for those who are interested in the tarannum subject. The tarannum is a technique to beautify and curve the tone of voice, in a certain tempo and rhythm when reading the Quran. The main aim of Tarannum-SLA is to facilitate the process of learning tarannum. Also, this courseware could create awareness among Muslims on the importance of the Quran. The Tarannum-SLA was developed not only to attract Muslims but also for non-Muslims who are interested to know about Islam, especially in terms of the arts of Quran recitation. Furthermore, in this courseware, we provide three language options, which are Malay, English, and Arabic for the convenience of our diverse prospective users. There are seven styles of tarannum, including Bayyati, Nahwand, Hijaz, Rast, Soba, Jiharkah, and Sika that are included in the Tarannum-SLA. Furthermore, to examine the ability of Tarannum-SLA to tackle the users’ needs, we have conducted the usability analysis based on the diffusion of innovation model. The result indicated that most of the constructs are perceived at a high level by respondents. Thus, this evidenced the high usability of Tarannum-SLA in promoting Quranic education. Although the development of this courseware has reached the implementation stage, it still needs some future improvements, for example, to amend the verses and reciters.

Abstract

Mentoring by the mentor teachers to the trainee teacher is an important element in the component of professional practice, namely practicum. Mentoring of mentor teachers in this study refers to the quality of guidance given by mentor teachers to trainee teachers. This aspect is seen to have an impact on the success of trainee teachers during the practicum session. However, there are past studies that state that mentor teachers do not provide guidance as required by the trainee teachers. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the quality of mentoring of mentor teachers from the perspective of trainee teachers. This study used a mixed-method approach. Quantitative study was using a questionnaire namely mentor teacher’s guidance while utilizing random sampling method was used on a sample of 217 trainee teachers from the Institute of Teacher Education in the northern zone of Malaysia who have undergone the practicum session. The qualitative approach, on the hand involve semi-structured interview with two trainee teachers as the participants. This study found that the quality of guidance of mentor teachers is at a very good level. Quantitative findings are supported by qualitative findings. Four themes were identified from the interview analysis namely; excellent guidance, informative, cooperation and the needs of mentor teachers.

Abstract

This study conducted to develop a measurement model for measuring Geo-Education in Malaysia context. This cross-sectional survey involved 245 trainee teachers in Universities and Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia (IPGM). The data collection was made through a set of questionnaires and analyzed using SEM-AMOS. There are four main elements measured, which are loading factors, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and composite reliability. The findings indicated that Geo-Education had a significant contribution to the proposed constructs, namely primer, issues, ecosystem, lifestyle, and cross-curricular elements. A model of Geo-Education was successfully developed in this study using these five constructs, namely primer, issues, ecosystem, lifestyle, and cross-curricular elements. This study also identified twenty-five behaviours of Geo-Education among the trainee teachers in Malaysia. The findings of this study are essential as a guideline for Malaysian teachers to implement the concept of Geo-Education in Malaysia. Additionally, the application of this subject as cross-curricular elements in the Malaysian curriculum is essential to ensure the success of the implementation of Education Sustainable Development (ESD) in the school environment.

Interestingly, the results revealed that the level of technology-aided leadership is high and the six constructs of technology-aided leadership among principals are valid. The constructs are i) Productivity and professional practice; ii) Teaching and learning; iii) Social, legal, and ethics; iv) Leadership and vision; v) management support and operations; and vi) Assessment and evaluation. In general, school leaders should take the opportunity to develop themselves to become high-tech leaders. Meanwhile, the 31 indicators that are verified in this study can be used to evaluate the behavior of technological leadership. Finally, further research is strongly encouraged to enlarge the scope by collecting the data from all Malaysian states to obtain more accurate and generalizable results.

Abstract

As the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to expand across various sectors, the issue of bias in training data has emerged as a significant ethical and technical challenge. AI systems are commonly trained using large-scale datasets collected from digital environments such as the internet, social media, and public databases. These datasets often contain historical inequalities, stereotypes, and unbalanced representations of certain demographic groups. Consequently, AI models may unintentionally replicate and amplify these biases in their predictions or decisions. This situation becomes particularly concerning when AI is used in high-stakes domains such as recruitment, healthcare, financial services, and public policy. Most existing bias mitigation strategies rely on reactive approaches, such as adjusting model outputs or modifying datasets after bias has already been identified. While these methods can reduce certain forms of discrimination, they often require significant manual intervention and may not effectively address bias in dynamic data environments. This research proposes a conceptual framework for an AI self-healing system designed to autonomously detect and correct bias in training data before it influences model outcomes. The proposed framework integrates four key modules: Data Monitoring, Bias Analysis, Automated Bias Correction, and a Feedback Loop and Validation mechanism. Together, these components create a continuous workflow that allows the system to identify bias patterns, apply corrective strategies, and verify fairness before data is used for model training. This framework offers a proactive and sustainable approach to bias mitigation while supporting the development of more ethical, robust, and accountable AI systems.

Abstract

Mobile phones have become an important part of Malaysian youth's daily lives, and as easy as it is to get our hands on a mobile, the growing issues that follow raise alarms for cybersecurity. WordPress site. Although there has been a recent influx of online scam and privacy breach reports, little still exists on how ordinary users perceive mobile security, or if their behaviors are consistent with good risk mitigation practices. This study aims to examine the relationships that exist among mobile security confidence, user practices, and incident experiences with the gender of Malaysian youth. Using an eight-sectioned structured survey as an evaluation instrument, key findings are mainly gleaned from users who report medium levels of confidence in their mobile malware knowledge and overall adoption of protective behaviors such as keeping software updated, only using trusted sources to download apps, and using biometrics. A total of 38.1% of respondents, meanwhile, admitted to previous security incidents largely borne out of the presence of outdated systems and a lack of oversight elements in place for vetting third-party applications. in a rapidly digitizing society. Yet without habitual practice and supportive system design, awareness alone may not be enough.
