Abstract

ABSTRACT: Reading process requires readers to think deeply on the aspects that they have read in order to achieve an effective understanding. The readers need to figure out whether they understand the content that they have read. The ability to comprehend reading text would be the major aim in reading process. For students at tertiary levels, this ability is strongly associated to one’s field of study. From the stand point of critical and creative thinking skills, especially from the metacognitive aspect, students have different perspective of comprehension. This study is conducted to examine the process opted by Malaysian university students in comprehending text using a qualitative research method. A total of eight respondents following the bachelor in education programme participated in this study. Data was obtained via interviews, document analysis, and classroom observation. The findings indicate that there is a different perspective amongst students with regards to the use of metacognitive in understanding the text. These differences were influenced by the strategies used, the level of text difficulty, types of text and students’ perception of the text read.KEY WORDS: comprehend reading text, metacognitive aspect, Malaysian university students, and different perspectives.   About the Authors: Dr. Yahya Othman is a Senior Lecturer at the Language and Literacy Academic Goup, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Institute of Education UBD (University of Brunei Darussalam), Jalan Tunku Link Gadong BE1410, Negara Brunei Darussalam.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The emergent entrepreneurial paradigm has led to the increasing role of the research university in knowledge innovation, hence making entrepreneurial research university a global phenomenon. Research universities are expected to provide intellectual innovations for the economic and societal advancement. It is argued that to ensure an effective achievement of research university’s objectives, appropriate definition and model must be identified. This article attempts to propose a generic model of knowledge innovation for the research university. It identifies the definitions of the research university, knowledge innovation, and best practices of the established research universities. It then looks into the process of knowledge creation and innovation in research universities. Based on the review of literature, this article proposes a model of knowledge innovation for the research university by integrating knowledge innovation framework and the simplified Triple Helix Model. The focus of this article, however, is on the knowledge innovation. Knowledge innovation is most relevant in the context of research university. Literature also indicates that there are two forms of innovation, namely, incremental and radical innovations.KEY WORDS: knowledge innovation, research university, Triple Helix Model, and entrepreneurial paradigm.About the Author: Professor Dr. Ramlee B.

Systematic random sampling was used to select respondents from 16 open houses in Bandung. The sample of this study was 522 people consisted of 36 administrators/managers, 132 facilitators and 354 street children. The questionnaires data was analyzed using descriptive analysis and inference such as frequency, percentage, min, ANOVA and multiple-regression using SPSS for Windows version 12. Interview and observation data were analyzed using R.C. Bogdan and S.K. Biklen’s analysis (1992). This study found that resocialization programme of street children at open houses in Bandung, from the aspect of input, process and product, generally in the medium level, still had some weaknesses that should be handled.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study tested and compared the generative thinking of second graders (7-8-year olds) and fifth graders (10-11-year olds) as a means to assess how generative thinking develops among children. Results from this study were compared with results obtained by Mushoriwa (2003) in a similar study in Zimbabwe in order to see if the development of generative thinking follows a similar pattern in different environments. Data were sourced from 40 second-graders and 40 fifth graders randomly selected from schools around Manzini. The survey research design was used, with interviews employed to collect the data. Crosstabs and a two-sample t-test were used to analyse the data. The study found no significant differences in generative thinking between second and fifth graders in the Swazi sample. In the comparative analyses, while significant differences in eye placements were observed between second graders in Swaziland and second graders in Zimbabwe, no significant differences in eye placements were observed between fifth graders in Swaziland and fifth graders in Zimbabwe. As for reasons/explanations for eye placements, significant differences between Swazi and Zimbabwean children were noted at both second grade and fifth grade levels. The study recommended the use, by teachers, of pedagogy that is promotive of generative thinking as well as the need for further research in the area focusing on environmental factors influencing the nature and developmental pattern of generative thinking. KEY WORDS: generative thinking, among children, comparative study, different environments, and Swazi children sample.About the Authors: T.D.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Poverty has become one of the major reasons for lack of motivation for participating in learning processes, especially among the adults. Poverty has victimized many individuals to leave their education and opt for employment to sustain themselves and their family. Lifelong learning as a process of learning can be of some relevance as a tool of motivation and participation in the learning among the individuals, where the individuals can be active in the labor market (enhancing motivation) and also participate in the learning process. The paper investigates the impact of poverty on lack of motivation to participate in education. The paper analyses the research problem by discussing the case of India, where two adult learners where interviewed. According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Model and Cross – Chain of Response Model provide as the theoretical perspective for the study to examine the issue of lack of motivation and participation among adult learners. The paper concludes by emphasizing on the fact that poverty does influence the adult leaner’s in India in terms of motivating them to participate in their education. This is able to be also argued that learning process involves need for motivation and participation unlike the traditional process of intellectual development. Emotion (motivation) and sociality (participation) are very important elements for enhancing cognitive abilities (formal qualification) of an individual.KEY WORDS: motivation, participation, poverty, learning, barriers for learning, and case of India. About the Author: Chetan B.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: There has been awareness of gender asymmetry in some texts including those in ELT materials. This paper, in compliance to augmenting awareness of gender asymmetry, attempts to discuss gender representations in ELT textbooks. I will look at the representations of females and males by using transitivity analysis of functional linguistics within both the clause and the sentence. Two ELT textbooks published in Great Britain and Malaysia in 1970s were chosen in order to see how females and males were portrayed in the early era of language awareness. From the findings, it is revealed that both ELT textbooks from different cultures were not conscious enough of “political correctness” in gender matters. The number of female-male participants was unequal. Some males were described as being more active and competent whilst females being more passive and less competent than males. In some cases, females’ jobs were also represented as being less desirable. However, texts within Western culture represent females better than those within Eastern culture in terms of visibility and variety of job collocated to females. Hopefully, the present finding, from data in the 1970s, can be used as a gauge to measure progression of the use of language within educational material.   KEY WORDS: ELT textbooks, transitivity, gender asymmetry, and the Great Britain and Malaysia in 1970s.About the Author: Ika Lestari Damayanti, M.A. is a Lecturer at the Department of English Education, Faculty of Art and Language Education UPI (Indonesia University of Education), Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi No.229 Bandung 40154, West Java, Indonesia.
