Abstract

ABSTRACT: With the advent of the knowledge era, teacher education needs to prepare teachers to face the changing technological contexts and to model pedagogies and tools for better forms of learning. Despite much enthusiasm about the roles of technology in education, its role in transforming teacher learning, in ways aligned with advances in the learning sciences and contemporary socio-cultural perspectives, few changes have occurred. While many teacher educators are turning away from technology after early attempts met with mitigated success, some are pushing the boundaries of teacher education and professional activity systems. This paper identifies and analyzes emerging trends and models in e-learning for teacher education and professional development from the developing research base, both international trends and current developments. As we know that globalization cannot be understood without including information and communication technology (ICT). Educational institutions and teaching staff have many benefits due to emergence of modern technology. Teachers have their own networks through which they connect themselves with other teachers across the globe. Institutions have web-supported classrooms. Similarly, it also enhanced the responsibilities of schools, colleges, universities that should have such teachers who can produce such students who after receiving their education can adjust themselves at any platform.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Teaching is a profession that needs knowledge and the practice of psychological knowledge because this career relates directly to human. It is said that a long condition of stress could cause an individual to retreat from his/her work whether in physical or psychological way. Thus, a step to control the emotion was necessary for every individual. The purpose of this research was to investigate the leadership style of principals in relation to the stress level of teachers. The Leader Behaviour Description Questionnaire (LBDQ) measuring instrument was applied to measure the dimensions of principals’ leadership style, initiating structure, and consideration. The teachers’ stress measuring instrument was used to measure the stress level of teachers based on principal leadership style. Sample consists of 200 teachers from Primary Schools in Malaysia. The data was analysed based on descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings showed that teachers had high opinion of principals. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between teachers’ stress level and the structural and consideration dimensions of the principals’ leadership style. It was also discovered that the teacher’s stress level had an influence with the style of headmaster’s leadership. The factor that was identified as the main factor for work stress among the respondents was the discipline problem among student, this was followed by the factors of the restriction of time and source, appreciation factor, and interpersonal factor.KEY WORDS: School principal leadership, teachers, stress level, school leadership management, and human capital development.About the Author: Najeemah Mohd Yusof is a Lecturer at the School of Educational Studies USM (Science University of Malaysia), USM Campus, 1180 Minden, Pulau Penang, Malaysia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: By exploring the educational pedagogies and classroom discourses, it is the aim of the paper to extend theoretical insights into the way ESL (English as Second Language) writing classrooms might help to make over, negotiate, and manage the linguistic, social and learning iden­tities of the mono-cultural learners in the classrooms. The basic premise of social interdependence theory is that the way interdependence among goals is structured determines how individuals interact, which in turn largely determines outcomes. Research, therefore, has focused on student–student interaction in ESL tertiary writing classroom in an institution of higher learning. The results indicated that mono-cultural learners in an ESL classroom juxtaposed two languages (L1 and L2) and appropriated their bilingualism to learn English language. The results also revealed that group discussions in ESL classrooms in institution of higher learning offered  experiential learning whereby learners became more skilled to use suitable choice of words  (at times with help of their more capable peers), specifically utilising their bilingual expertise. The end results of this study point out a favourable feature of the discourses of the ESL learners striving for mutual benefits to successfully complete the assigned tasks. KEY WORDS: Mono-cultural, English as second language, face-to-face interaction, patterns of interaction, and Malay students.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: For most Indonesian students, Mathematics is still regarded as a difficult and scaring subject compared to other subjects. Therefore, there should be a learning strategy which can empower all the available potential to achieve the learning objectives as a whole. In relation to the learning process of Mathematics, the choice of learning strategy is also based on the achievement of the learning objectives. One way of realizing that is through the use of quantum learning. The aim of this research is: (1) to find out the effectiveness of quantum learning for teaching mathematics; and (2) to analyze the difference the result of quantum learning and that of the conventional one. Two classes of grade X were randomly taken as sample out of five available, one class being the experimental group and the other control. This random sampling was due to the fact that students are distributed evenly on ability basis. Data was taken using test and non-test techniques (observation and questionnaire). To find out the effectiveness of this quantum learning, descriptive analysis was used toward: (1) student’s activity during the learning process; (2) the teacher’s ability in managing the learning process; (3) student’s response toward the learning model; and (4) the student’s mastery. While ANAKOVA inferential analysis was used to test the difference on the learning achievement. The result of the two analysis were that quantum learning was effective and there was significant difference in which the quantum learning gave a better learning achievement than the conventional one. KEY WORDS: Teaching and learning effectiveness, Mathematics subject, quantum learning concept, and modern and conventional learning.  About the Authors: Kusno, M.Pd. and Joko Purwanto, M.Si. are Lecturers at the Department of Mathematics Education, Faculty of Education and Teacher Training UMP (Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto), Jalan Raya Dukuhwaluh, PO Box 202, Purwokerto 53182, Central Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: English had been thought as one of the determining factor of academic excellence in medical school as students with better command of English are thought to have better understanding of the subjects compared to students who have poor command of English. English literacy has also been thought to be correlated with academic performance in medical school. While a lot of researches had been conducted on the relationship of English language proficiency and academic performance among non-native English speakers in other countries. The study on Malaysian medical students regarding this issue is still limited. The study was conducted to look at the correlation of English literacy and academic performance of medical students in USIM (Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia or Islamic Science University of Malaysia). This is a retrospective observational study. The results for “English for Medical Sciences” in Semester 4 was compared to the performance in Pathology course in the Second Professional Examination in Semester 6. A correlation study showed no correlation between the English literacy and the academic performance of the medical students with r = -0.027. Therefore, there is no significant correlation between the English literacy and the academic performance of the medical students in USIM. KEY WORDS: English literacy, academic performance, medical student of USIM, and English language proficiency.  About the Authors: Dr. Suhaila Sanip is a Lecturer (Medical Education) at the Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences USIM (Islamic Science University of Malaysia) and now as Deputy Dean (Student Development & Performance Management) at the Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences USIM, 13th Floor, Menara B, Persiaran MPAJ, Jalan Pandan Utama, Pandan Indah, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and Dr. Noor Fadzilah Zulkifli is Senior Lecturer (Pathology), Multidisciplinary Laboratory Coordinator, and Pathology Course Coordinator at the Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences USIM.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this action research was to identify the problems faced by electrical and electronic engineering or PKEE (Pelajaran Kejuruteraan Eelektronik dan Elektrik) students studying a difficult topic – transistor. This study was also aimed at examining students’ attitude towards Problem-based Learning (PBL). PBL is said to enhance students’ understanding and make the learning more meaningful. This action research was based on Kemmis and McTaggart (1998) model. Jigsaw technique was also used in the first and second rounds of the study whereas the discussion technique was used in the third round. A sample of 30 Form 5 students from a Technical School Melaka, Malaysia was selected. The treatment was given for a nine-weeks duration. Data were obtained from peer assessment, observation, and pre- and post-tests. Descriptive statistics used in this study, include frequency, mean, and standard deviation. The study found that the collaboration skill of the students increases in each round and their achievements also show better results. Students’ attitude became more positive with regard to PBL. In the open-ended questions, the respondents said that they like collaborative and problem-solving activities. Thus, teachers are suggested to use this method. However, for those who are not confident or do not have the skills to use the PBL method, it is advised that training and guidance be given to them. PBL workshops and short courses should be offered to them.KEY WORDS: Action research, problem-based learning, jigsaw technique, electrical and electronic engineering, and technical school.About the Authors: Prof. Dr. Ramlee Mustapha and Zaharatul Laila Abdul Rahim are Lecturers at the Faculty of Technical and Vocational Education UPSI (Sultan Idris University of Education), Tanjong Malim, Perak Darul Ridzuan, Malaysia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The urgency to improve the quality of human resources is experiencing continuous escalation. Education holds the key to answer this demand. Social science is an important part of education that is very useful to provide students with various knowledge and skills. In Indonesia, social science tends to be underestimated and many perceived social science as a lesson that only require students to memorize some subject matter without involving further and higher level of thinking. This paper tries to examine the attempt to improve social science’s effective learning process through the role of accountability’s strategic factors. This research is using quantitative approach through statistical test. The end results show that implementation of accountability in its strategic factors will eventually improve the quality of social science’s effective learning process and the graduates. In order to implement and operate an adequate system of accountability, there are various requirements that must be met. Accountability must be thorough and integrated in the institution. Accountability also requires funds and sufficient time for their implementation to demonstrate the expected output. Hopefully, the implementation of accountability in its strategic factors will enhance the dignity, value, and position of social science in order to provide qualified human resources in Indonesia’s development.KEY WORDS: Social science, human resources, improvement, accountability, strategic factors, and Indonesia’s development.About the Author: Ir.
