Abstract

Given the hypothesis that card games form a strong tool capable of shaping the aforementioned interest, this study has developed a card game called Math Zap as a pedagogical tool for numeracy skills development in the context of mental computation. It is geared towards investigating the efficacy of this Math Zap card game, in facilitating the development of numeracy skills amongst learners, and their attitude towards using it as a pedagogical tool. A mix method approach using an experimental and descriptive design was taken and tested amongst 34 primary school students aged 12 to 13. From the results of the study, it is found that the Math Zap card game is a highly effective learning tool in so far as the enhancement of students’ numeracy computation skills in the areas of fractions, percentages and decimals are concerned. This is evidenced by a statistical significant pre-post test score increment. Furthermore, students were rather positive and receptive towards the game, further substantiating the claim of it being a useful pedagogical tool.

Abstract

Current environmental changes, combined with personal challenges, require further study to address the existing knowledge gap in career preparedness. Hence, this study aims to examine determinants of undergraduates’ career preparedness by integrating environmental and psychological factors within an extended theoretical framework. Specifically, this study investigates the effects of resilience as a mediator in the relationship between environmental factors and career preparedness. This study used stratified purposive sampling to capture final-year undergraduates from universities in three main structures, namely research universities, non-research public universities, and private universities. A total of 409 undergraduates participated in this study. A correlational research design was employed for the investigation of the relationships. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the hypothesized relationships and mediation effects. The results indicated that environmental factors were a robust predictor of resilience (effect size, f2=1.377) and exerted a small but significant direct effect (f2=0.051) on career preparedness. Furthermore, resilience strongly predicted career preparedness (f2=0.450). Overall, the findings show that resilience mediates the relationship between environmental factors and career preparedness. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating that resilience-based activities, such as career planning and goal-setting sessions, should be focused on undergraduates who are participating in a constructive environment.
