Abstract

Women require vocational skills for economic stability and alternative income. Despite attempts to empower women in low and middle-income nations, they still face obstacles, notably with energy supply, a critical component for their productivity and the subject of this study. Five (5) research questions were raised. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. The entire population of 309 female artisans in Edo South, Central and North Senatorial Districts was used as sample. The questionnaire was analysed using Mean and Standard Deviation. The decision rule was based on 3.0 such that any calculated mean equal or greater than 3.0 was regarded as agreed while less than 3.0 as disagreed. The study found that women had challenges with the conventional alternative source of power generating set and recommended among others that experts should consider a gender perspective in design and construction in order to alleviate the sufferings of female artisans.

Abstract

Since internships are recognized forms of workplace learning, this study investigated their impact on the knowledge, attitude, and practices of interns. A paired t-test quasi-experiment (pretest/post-test) was carried out on the sample of 137 interns in university libraries in Edo State, Nigeria using a questionnaire. The study found that the interns had improved their knowledge, attitudes, and practices post-intervention. The statistically significant results imply that the internship was an effective intervention that improved the interns' knowledge, attitude, and practice. In conclusion, the study considered the implications of practicing librarians and Library and Information Science educators uniting to develop and implement structured interventions. It recommended replicating this intervention in other states to improve the knowledge, attitude, and practical skills of interns and ensure they are effective in the workplace.

Abstract

The spread of the Covid-19 virus has affected the freshwater aquaculture industry in Malaysia. Due to this pandemic, freshwater fish products and demand decreased, followed by labor problems. Therefore, this study aims to identify freshwater farmers’ level of knowledge, perception and practices of freshwater farmers related to the Covid-19 pandemic. The study was conducted using a quantitative method to collect data. The study was conducted using an online questionnaire instrument and also survey forms were distributed to respondents in Machang, Tanah Merah and Kota Bharu. A total of 59 responses was returned. The survey was open for one month between November 15th and December 15th, 2021. The data was analysed using IBM SPPS software version 24.0 to obtain the frequency, percentage and descriptive analysis to analyse the level of knowledge, perception and practices of farmer and relationship between farmer knowledge, perception and practices about Covid-19. This study's outcome indicates that the farmer knowledge is related to farmer practices in dealing with this problem as the spread of this virus occurs rapidly. In conclusion, this research showed that the level of farmers’ knowledge, perception and practices toward Covid-19 effect is high. Directly, it will help farmers prevent the spread of this virus, helps farmers understand and be aware of Covid-19 issues and helps farmers implement good practice to reduce the risk in aquaculture activities, especially in this COVID-19 situation.

Abstract

The purpose of teaching aid is important to attract students to always be active in the classroom. It is important to focus on educational activities among students such as the usage of teaching aid during the teaching and learning process. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the usability of augmented reality (AR) application 'Fertigation System' among form 1 students of SMK Behrang 2020 who took Design and Technology subject. The application was developed using the ADDIE model which has five phases including analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The design of the studies used was quantitative method (survey method). The instrument of study used was a questionnaire. In the first phase (Analysis), a questionnaire that was endorsed by experts was distributed to 35 respondents to identify the needs of the AR application development. In this phase, there were 72% of respondents agreed the needs of the AR application development. For the next phases, an AR 'Fertigation System' has been designed and developed. A questionnaire was distributed together with the AR application that has been developed and verified by three experts from different fields (language, education, content). After that, a pilot study was conducted among 50 students of form 1 who took Design and Technology subject at SMK Behrang 2020 as respondents for improvement purposes (Implementation phase). For the final phase (Evaluation), a questionnaire and application of AR 'Fertigation System' which has been verified and improved was distributed to 76 respondents comprising form 1 students who took Design and Technology subject at SMK Behrang 2020. The results of this study showed that 62.72% of the respondents strongly agreed with the usability of the AR application 'Fertigation System'. All data obtained was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) to obtain the average value, percentage, frequency and standard deviation. In conclusion, the results of this study show that the AR application of the 'Fertigation System' that has been developed can be used among form 1 students who took Design and Technology subject at SMK Behrang 2020, Perak.

Abstract

Collaboration is gaining traction in today's educational environment. Thus, teachers' primary concern is assisting students in experiencing group knowledge collaboration. As online education continues to grow in popularity, there is an increasing need to promote and understand collaborative learning processes. Its success is contingent upon implementing online collaborative learning strategies that foster critical thinking abilities while also providing meaningful collaborative learning opportunities. Collaborative concept mapping is one tool that could be used to foster student collaboration. Rather than creating and visualizing ideas individually, collaborative concept mapping involves two or more students working collaboratively to create one or more concept maps. In collaborative learning, interactions between learners are critical sources of idea generation. The purpose of this study is to examine students’ satisfaction with implementing the strategy in Second Language Reading class. The recent study advances our understanding of how to effectively use collaborative teaching tools in the classroom and improve student learning through group collaboration. The study's findings indicate that students demonstrated positive attitudes toward group collaboration, as evidenced by collaborative concept mapping. In addition, the collaborative learning processes embedded in concept mapping learning platforms support and facilitate reading comprehension achievement, resulting in successful foreign language learning for higher education students. The interaction in collaborative concept mapping, lacking in individual concept mapping, has facilitated individual and group knowledge building. As a result, implementing this strategy may benefit both group and individual learning.
