Abstract

Virtual learning environment (VLE) has been introduced in educational institutions such as schools, colleges, and universities to encourage a systematic online teaching and learning platform. This paper aims to examine the effect of social factors, self-efficacy, and technological support on the utilization of VLE in the educational process. A quantitative approach was employed and the data was collected through a set of questionnaires administered to selected respondents. A total of 356 accounting teachers from secondary schools in Peninsular Malaysia were chosen as the samples. A reflective measurement model in partial least square-structural equation modeling was utilized to measure the effect of the exogenous latent variable on the endogenous latent variable. Results indicated that social factors namely (colleagues, administrators, and school culture) significantly affect the use of VLE among teachers. Further, self-efficacy and technological support namely (facilities quality, internet access, and technical support) positively influence teachers to apply VLE during teaching. The quality of technological facilities in schools needs to be developed to promote effective educational processes and motivate teachers to use digital technology. Further, it is strongly suggested that teachers need to be given appropriate training and ongoing support to develop their skills in using digital technology.

Abstract

In this study, we created a psychosocial learning environment consisting of five types of interaction, namely: student collaboration; specific learning objectives and curriculum coherence; learning facilities; independent learning; and constructivist instruction. This research aimed to determine the scope in which the five modes of contact improved students’ learning outcomes in higher order cognitive abilities. This quantitative study involved form four accounting students (N=352) in Malaysia who completed a self-administered questionnaire that included the higher order cognitive abilities (HOCA) test, the instruments of students’ perceived learning environment, and zone-specific demographic data. The results showed two of the five inventory of students’ perceived learning environment (ISPLE) scores. Specific learning objectives and curriculum coherence, were the most significant predictors and strongly correlated with higher order cognitive abilities. Even the components of the psychosocial learning environment impact HOCA in most subjects. However, researchers have obtained new findings that explain other factors that need to be studied to evaluate or encourage HOCA in accounting subjects. Thus, the researcher suggests further research using self-learning methods through modules to assess and promote HOCA in accounting.

Abstract

The TABANA program was developed in response to the increasing prevalence of negative behaviors and bullying incidents in partner preschool and primary schools, which previously lacked a structured behavior management system. The program aims to foster a culture of positive behavior through a positive discipline approach supported by visual reinforcement strategies, including kindness jars, appreciation tokens, behavioral indicators, and data-based behavioral recapitulation. Program activities were conducted through socialization sessions, focus group discussions, teacher training, classroom implementation, mentoring, evaluation, and sustainability planning. Data were collected through non-verbal observations, teacher interviews, activity documentation, and weekly and monthly behavioral records, and subsequently analyzed using a descriptive–comparative approach to examine changes before and after program implementation. The findings indicate that more than 70% of students demonstrated improvements in positive behavior, particularly in terms of discipline, honesty, cooperation, and task completion at the primary school level. At the kindergarten level, consistent improvements were observed in queuing behavior, tidying up learning materials, and smiling, although behaviors related to sharing and self-regulation still require further reinforcement. The program also contributed to a reduction in negative behaviors, including mild forms of peer-to-peer bullying, and enhanced teachers’ capacity to manage classrooms and systematically evaluate student behavior. Overall, the TABANA program supports the creation of a more positive learning environment and establishes a sustainable foundation for character development in partner schools.
