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: Indigenous environmental management for sustainability is about the particularity of place, cultural, and spiritual values woven through knowledge of wildlife, forest trees, water, and land. Indigenous values associated with natural resources utilization and conservation might defy some scientific standards as they emphasize symbolic values to indigenous identity, customary law, and environmental philosophy. Symbolic values strengthen belief to indigenous knowledge, which are priceless and are handed down from one generation to the next through apprenticeship or direct participation. Beliefs and knowledge systems require an indigenous perspective to be relevant for use, so databases from every indigenous peoples group need to be appropriately designed for specific users. This study aimed to ascertain how the Agta of Lupigue, Ilagan City, Isabela in the Philippines utilize and conserve the natural resources in their domain. The ethnographic research was used to realize the purpose of this study. In-depth interview and participant observation were rendered to gather information. A review of documentary materials and readings was done to enrich the researchers’ knowledge of the culture, knowledge systems, and practices of the respondents. Findings revealed that the Agta are consistent with their home-grown ways of using, protecting, and managing sustainably the ancestral lands and resources that have prevailed upon their identity as a people, despite the onset of science and technology. Indigenous environmental management for sustainability could be achieved by recognizing and understanding indigenous knowledge of natural resources.KEY WORDS: Indigenous Peoples; Environmental Management; Cultural and Spiritual Values; Sustainability; Indigenous Knowledge of Natural Resources.    About the Authors: Marites C.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The development of science and technology stimulates the rise of effort to make use of all facilities in all fields. One of the results is increasing number of computer use in Indonesia. This condition encourages educational practitioners to develop several models of learning media by using computers with purposes of tutorial, exercises, simulations, and games. Meanwhile, learning process which applies some media of simulation provides some benefits as they are realistic, secure, and simple. This simulation will lead students into a visualization of real life condition. Without media, students will usually imagine what they learn. It later exposes them with some problems that influence their abstractions. If a lecturer only explains about Transformation Geometry without using simulation, there is a big opportunity that students will yield misconception or they will only remember it with little understanding. This research aims to develop a valid and practical the Transformation Geometry simulation. The method in this research is a design research from a technology perspective that uses a preliminary stage and evaluation stage. The result presented the simulation of the definition of reflection, rotation, rotation half-round, and translations that have been made are in accordance with the curriculum and the existing concepts. Try-out result shows that the simulation can help students find their own concepts of reflection, rotation, rotation half-round, and translation; and sets up students to communicate. The conclusion of this research is that the result of simulation design that has been created has to be valid and practical.KEY WORDS: Development of Science and Technology; Computer Use; Transformation Geometry; Learning Process; Understanding of Concepts.  About the Authors: Ahmad and Anton Jaelani are the Lecturers at the Department of Mathematics Education, Faculty of Education and Teacher Training UMP (Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto), Jalan Raya Dukuhwaluh, Purwokerto, Central Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: In the assessment of Mathematics, the policy makers have noticed that many students were quite able to learn the necessary formula and apply them to the limited range of textbook and test situation; but when faced with novel problem, they fell short and showed that they were far from having understood the relevant concepts and conceptual relations. Therefore, an effective assessment is needed to promote students’ mastery of Mathematical thinking through SBA (School-Based Assessment). SBA is a formative assessment which provide the students’ progress from one level to another level. Teachers can create a diagnostic measure to detect the students’ progress from time to time. This provides an opportunity for teachers to correct any mistakes and improve students’ weaknesses immediately, so that these weaknesses are not accumulated. This study sought to recognize the teachers’ perception of the SBA effectiveness in increasing students’ achievement in Mathematics. A total of 50 Mathematics teachers from Secondary Schools in Kedah, Malaysia participated in the survey. A 19-items questionnaire was employed to measure teacher’s perception on the SBA effectiveness and students’ scores in Mathematics. The data were analysed quantitatively using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. The result showed that the teachers’ perception on the SBA effectiveness in school had no statistically significant relationship with the students’ achievement in Mathematics. This finding implied that the teachers’ perception on the effectiveness of SBA practiced in school didn’t affect the students’ achievement in Mathematics.
