Abstract

ABSTRACT: The industrial based project has become a compulsory assessment for those who enrol in the TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training). The attributes in TVET require a student to be competent in the field to ensure it is comply with the industry’s demands of skilled workforce. During the industrial based project development, an effective supervision that involves the both student and supervisor are greatly needed. Thus, this paper will discuss the implementation of industrial based project in Malaysian TVET and explains the importance of effective supervision in project completion. The content is based on the literature review of previous researches from several sources, including documents, papers, and journals, which aimed to explore the best concept of effective supervision. The main concern is regarding the implementation of industrial based project in Malaysian TVET system, as well as clarifying the importance of effective supervision in students’ industrial based project completion. An EFA (Exploratory Factor Analysis) was conducted over 360 respondents to discover the factors in SIS (Supervisory Input Support). Then, CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) was conducted to determine the AVE (Average Variance Extracted) and GoF (Goodness of Fit) model. The data regarding supervisory input is also discussed. It is hoped to provide a holistic view of effective supervision in developing skilled workforce. The ability to develop effective supervision in TVET should be catered in many ways which reflect the needs of students, for example by providing training to new supervisors.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Quality education becomes a major issue in higher education. The numbers of graduate students to pursue their higher education keep increasing by years. In the meantime, the institutions of higher learning are striving to attract more students, especially at the graduate level by making every effort to provide quality education. Graduate students contribute to the development of research outcome. Some scholars proposed that the strategic success of a service organization depends on its ability to consistently meet or exceed customer service expectations. A constant effort should be made to ensure the customer satisfaction. This paper provides the relevant input for effective resource development in institutional of higher education. The approach would address the needs of students further along the process with an emphasis on data gathering, management and analysis, compiling a thesis or dissertation, assessment, and the publishing of research results. Another approach would relate to generic aspects of graduate growth, development, and progress. Conceptual evidence is presented which combination of resource needs to focus. It is hoped to contribute a proper insight of effective resource in developing distinguished human capital.KEY WORDS: Higher education, quality education, graduate students, resource development, and student development.    About the Authors: Assoc.

ABSTRACT: Mentoring is a part of educational training to develop people in the professions. Mentoring is related to self-development, professional growth and career development of the mentee. Not only do mentors have to play their role but the mentees too, and all this must be placed within the specific institutional context. The mentoring relationship has been described as an invaluable learning activity for beginners as well as experienced practitioners such as teachers, administrators, managers and other professionals. This article is designed to summarize existing literature on mentoring in order to assist mentors-mentees in enhancing the best practices for effective mentoring. Thus, it focuses on mentoring theories, the role of mentor and the nature of the mentor-mentee and its relationship. There are many views of the role of a mentor, but all include verbs like support, guide and facilitate. There are many models of mentoring. The selection of the best suited model should be based on the student’s needs and organisational contexts. The models discussed in this article includes: (1) the Counselling Model for Effective Helping; (2) the Competence-Based Model and the Mentor as Trainer; (3) the Furlong and Maynard Model of Mentoring; (4) the Reflective Practitioner Model; and (5) the True and Pseudo Mentoring Relationship.

They are also responsible for determining what is required as well as for carrying it out, and must always keep in touch in regular meetings with the supervisor. The student is the main person responsible for his/her PhD research. Doing a PhD clearly indicates that this is a student’s own research and work. The objective of this research is to provide better guidelines for effective roles of a PhD science student, especially the foreign student. The actual research to be reported used the case study method. Three Malaysian PhD students from three major disciplines of study i.e. arts, science and social science, were interviewed in depth several times within a year. All three case studies would make the present article too long. Therefore, only one case study which focusing on science student will be presented in this article in order to achieve a better understanding of the story. As a result, the research had developed the best effective guidelines in order for students to success in their study.KEY WORDS: foreign student, PhD research student, and roles of supervision in the university.About the Author: Dr. Norhasni Zainal Abiddin is a lecturer at the Department of Professional Development and Continuing Education, Faculty of Educational Studies, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).
