Abstract

This study investigates using technology to promote authentic and meaningful learning in applying a peer assessment rubric for a public speaking assessment in a higher education institution in Brunei Darussalam. Three hundred six undergraduates from Universiti Teknologi Brunei's Schools of Business, Computing, and the Engineering Faculty conducted the assessments in real-time using online-based rubrics accessible via their smartphones or laptops. Comparisons were made between the lecturers' marks and students for each rubric criterion, and a set of questionnaires was distributed to investigate students' perceptions toward the peer assessment after the assessment. The results indicated a variable discrepancy between assessments by the lecturers and students for the rubric criteria. While in some disciplines, peer marking was found to overmark compared to the lecturer by more than 15%, in other cases, the marks were similar. Comparison between peer and lecturer assessment indicated that the level of agreement was sensitive to the lecturer, but less so between student cohort when assessed by the same lecturer. When differences were observed, there was no apparent discrepancy in an agreement between aspects of the rubric which evaluated content or delivery. Students’ feedback revealed a positive response towards peer assessment but highlighted issues surrounding the technological aspects of the implementation process.

Abstract

This study explores the cross-border adjustment experiences of Bruneian students studying and interning in Malaysia. Although Malaysia is often perceived a familiar environment for Bruneians due to geographical proximity, shared Malay language, Islamic familiarity and frequent tourist mobility. This study examines how these assumptions shaped and conflicted with the participants lived experiences. Using a qualitative descriptive design, semi-structured interviews on 15 Bruneian students in Malaysian higher education institutions or student-related placements. The data was analysed using Thematic Analysis. The findings revealed that prior visits did not fully prepare students for long-term adjustments and shared Malay also did not always create mutual seamless social adaptation. Over time, student adjustment contributed to independence, confidence and professional readiness.
