Moreover, following the COVID-19 pandemic that hit the world at this time completely inhibits the teaching and learning process to be done entirely online. This clearly presents difficulties to teachers and students, as there are subjects that require practice to improve skills and better understanding. Among the limited access for teachers during the online learning and teaching process is that teachers can only explain and display pictures and show videos. At the same time, students need skills and understanding related to a subject studied. Also, students may not be able to accurately identify the types of systems found in the subjects studied. For example, for aquaculture subjects, the process of online teaching and learning can actually be done. However, this subject also requires practical and field work for students. In aquaculture subjects, in particular, teaching aids play an important role in understanding the cage farming system concept in the teaching process because there are various farming systems used in the aquaculture industry. The development of teaching aid is a crucial phase to make sure the teaching aids develop in accordance with the objectives and topics learning. Therefore, it is important to have an expert perception of the development and usability of the Teaching Aids kit mini model (Cage system). This study consisted of 9 experts as an evaluator consisting of experienced lecturers in the technical field of Faculty Technical. This study uses a quantitative assessment method (questionnaire).  A set of questionnaires was distributed to the experts to obtain the required information and data. All data obtained were analyzed using computer software' Statistical Package For Social Science SPSS version 24 to obtain the frequency, percentage and mean through descriptive statistic. The study's findings show that the level of experts' perception of “Teaching Aids kit mini model (Cage system) development and usability is necessary and positive. The study's conclusion illustrates the need for the development of a teaching aids kit mini model (cage system) for teachers to increase the level of understanding and skills of individual students in the teaching and learning process for aquaculture subjects.

Abstract

The spread of the Covid-19 virus has affected the freshwater aquaculture industry in Malaysia. Due to this pandemic, freshwater fish products and demand decreased, followed by labor problems. Therefore, this study aims to identify freshwater farmers’ level of knowledge, perception and practices of freshwater farmers related to the Covid-19 pandemic. The study was conducted using a quantitative method to collect data. The study was conducted using an online questionnaire instrument and also survey forms were distributed to respondents in Machang, Tanah Merah and Kota Bharu. A total of 59 responses was returned. The survey was open for one month between November 15th and December 15th, 2021. The data was analysed using IBM SPPS software version 24.0 to obtain the frequency, percentage and descriptive analysis to analyse the level of knowledge, perception and practices of farmer and relationship between farmer knowledge, perception and practices about Covid-19. This study's outcome indicates that the farmer knowledge is related to farmer practices in dealing with this problem as the spread of this virus occurs rapidly. In conclusion, this research showed that the level of farmers’ knowledge, perception and practices toward Covid-19 effect is high. Directly, it will help farmers prevent the spread of this virus, helps farmers understand and be aware of Covid-19 issues and helps farmers implement good practice to reduce the risk in aquaculture activities, especially in this COVID-19 situation. This research would contribute positive impacts by finding new novel theories that can become the reference and guideline.
