Abstract

Design is a complex and open process.  A designer starts the idea from an abstract form to a final idea in the form of a product to solve the design problem.   At the early design stage discussion occurs regularly between students and lecturer to improve the design quality.  The selection of a proper media for presentation is important in the design process to make sure the media selected has strong visual impact.  CAD technology gives opportunity for students to use three dimensional digital models in the design process to develop good design concept. The digital model can decrease the aspect of abstraction on a design idea.  The main objective of this study is to compare the development in the design activities between students that use digital studio and students that use conventional studio. The study had been done for four years on diploma architectural students at Port Dickson Polytechnic. All the semester six students had been selected as the sample for this study. The quasi experimental method was used to study the effect of integrating digital studio in the design process.  The research outcome showed that significant difference between digital model product (M=80.2) compared to conventional product from the aspect of creativity, t(238) = 9.198 significant.  This study shows that integration of digital studio in the learning process of design modules in polytechnic provides learning environment that ignites students to produce creative architectural design product.Keywords: CPAM, CAD Technology, Design Process, Creative Product

Abstract

The decline in English language proficiency among students entering public universities isstill debatable. English may be taught from standard one through form five and form six ormatriculation level but the students’ proficiency is still very low.  Looking at in microcosm,the majority of Malaysian students leave the school system with a poor grasp of Englishdespite having been exposed to the language for eleven or more years. Although both the‘intrinsic and extrinsic motivations’ have been given, these motivations have beenunsuccessful in reaching the greater majority. Employers especially from the private sectorhave voiced their concern on the low proficiency of these graduates. And the repercussion isemployers will look elsewhere for skilled workers instead of employing public institutions’graduates. Taking the cue from here, this research paper will focus on the abilities andknowledge of adult learners who are doing distance education programmes with the UniversitiSains Malaysia. These students are working either in the public or private sector. Findings ofthis research will provide information for curriculum developers at public institutions ofhigher learning to tailor their English courses towards meeting the students’ needs.

Abstract

The appearance of regional autonomy policy and decentralization in education aims to provide opportunities to educational participants to obtain skills, knowledge, and attitude which are useful to society. Madrasah could respond to to sudden change in curriculum as it does not exactly follow the national curriculum. As an educational institution born out of societal needs, madrasah integration in society is easier, as the society participates more in madrasah operation. The involvement of society is not only limited based to parents involvement, but also the wider societal involvement. As in accordance with the spirit of decentralization which takes in aspiration and participation of society, the involvement of society at large is needed to develop and improve madrasah educational quality.Keywords: Autonomy, education, Islamic

Abstract

This paper attempts to identify and analyze the Indonesia-Paraguay bilateral trade potentials based on their respective export competitiveness. The analysis uses the Revealed Comparative Advantage Index for year 2012 obtained from World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS). The paper reveals that there are huge opportunities for both countries to further strengthen bilateral trade relations.Based on the RCA Index analysis, the paper revealed that in general both countrieshave exported their commodities based on theirrespective comparative advantages, but however both countries current exports still do not reflect their potentials as most for Indonesia (none for Paraguay) of the top ten commodities with the strongest comparative advantagewereunable to penetrate both sides market. This study suggests both countries should remove trade barriers starting by providing access for the top 10 export commodities with the strongest comparative advantage to penetrate in both countries. This step could be a stepping stone towards strengthening bilateral trade relations.Keywords: Comparative Advantage, Export Competitiveness, Bilateral Trade Relation JEL classification numbers: F14, F15, F17

Abstract

Munshi Abdullah, or  Abdullah Bin Abdul Kadir, is considered by many scholars as an early figure of modern Malay laureate  because of his against the  traditional norms writings. His two works; Kisah Pelayaran Abdullah ( The Voyage of Abdullah) ,1838 and Hikayat Abdullah ( Abdullah’s life story) , 1849,  are among his  important and meaningful chronicle memoirs in Malay literature. This paper laments Abdullah’s  true, new and different ideas which serve as a dividing line  between him and the writers before and during his time. Abdullah’s writings contain sharp criticism which addressed to the feudal and Malay community involving leadership, language and cultural practices. Such critics  arose from his education background and his social interaction with the British. It gave him new thoughts and perspectives in his writings, based on his observations and experiences which  were not rigid, comparing to  most of the conventional writings at that time, that incorporated elements of myth, fairy tales and legends. Besides, Abdullah  is also well-known for translating works into Malay, including Christian epistles for missionaries.  Some condemn Abdullah’s work  as a sign of his Anglophile persuasions, but at one level Abdullah’s criticism is inextricably related to his understanding of the weaknesses of his people. Besides his remarkable ideas, the most undeniable contribution of Abdullah is the printing work. His writings paved the way for a significant phase in the development of both Malay language and printing. He boosted the production of Malay works through his writings which previously were handwritten in manuscript forms. It was he who introduced the printing and publication of Malay books in the early  19th century and  brought great changes in the world of Malay literature. His writings brought the  analysis of Malay world which is very comprehensive and encompassing and finally become a great subject in these modern days.Keywords:Abdullah, Malay, critic, modern.
