In the context of promoting student inclusion in higher education, this study examines the effectiveness of transition programs from vocational to undergraduate education as access mechanisms that enable effective and successful inclusion. A cohort of 637 Chilean students from three academic disciplines, namely, agronomy, early childhood education, and physical education was analyzed, comparing academic performance, failure rates, and persistence between continuation program participants and students admitted through traditional or inclusive pathways. Statistical analyses, including persistence metrics and analysis of variance (ANOVA), indicate that students in the continuation program achieve equal or superior academic outcomes to their peers admitted through regular or other inclusionary pathways. These results provide evidence to support the relevance and feasibility of this type of higher education pathway access as an effective inclusive education strategy in terms of academic success and persistence. So, this paper contributes with specific evidence on the effectiveness of this inclusion mechanism, which could be relevant for designing efficient inclusion policy mechanisms. However, future studies that address career paths and professional development longitudinally must complement these initial results.

This study examines the relationships between authoritative parenting or keibubapaan autoritatif (KA), parents’ reading attitudes or sikap membaca Ibu Bapa (SMIB), early literacy activities or aktiviti literasi awal (ALA), and students’ reading comprehension which measured by skor kefahaman membaca (SKORKM), focusing on the role of ALA as a mediator. Utilizing cross-sectional surveys in a quantitative approach, data were collected from 393 year-5 pupils and their parents across 15 primary schools in Kelantan, Malaysia. Participants were selected through a multilevel random sampling method. The research design incorporated both descriptive statistics and inferential analysis using structural equation modeling. The structural path analysis revealed that only ALA had a significant direct influence on SKORKM. Moreover, ALA fully mediated the relationships between KA and SKORKM, as well as between SMIB and children’s reading comprehension. These findings suggest that KA and positive parental reading attitudes impact SKORKM primarily through the practice of ALA at home. The study successfully developed a new structural equation model that elucidates how family contextual factors, including KA, SMIB, and ALA, are associated with SKORKM achievement.

Previous studies have shown that augmented reality (AR) is an interactive teaching aids that can improve students’ learning motivation. Many studies have discussed AR technology but there are scarce studies on developing AR framework and guideline for teachers. Therefore, the objective of this research is to study the need to develop an AR framework to enhance motivation among students based on Gagne’s nine events of instruction and self-determination theory (SDT). This research employs the design and development research (DDR) method with a blend of quantitative and qualitative in which data was collected via a closed and open questionnaire. The respondents of this research are 35 teachers who are teaching technology course in Kedah, chosen through purposive sampling. The findings revealed the need to develop an AR framework by taking into consideration five main constructs, namely motivation, technology skills, instructional design, AR development tools and types of AR applications. Hence, AR developed using this framework has the potential to enhance student motivation and create effective AR learning experiences for students.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a hitch in Qur’an education, signalling a need to shift to online learning. When the Islamic learning centres ceased to operate due to the lockdown, adult asnaf-mualaf (reverts who are eligible to receive zakat or other forms of Islamic aids) were held back from physically attending Al-Qur’an lessons. The measure has disrupted their ongoing learning of the Qur’an, and prolonged disruption is feared to cause disengagement among the asnaf. Hence, this study arranged five meetings over three weeks for online Qur’an lessons, each lasting an hour, for eight asnaf-mualaf. A qualitative exploration of the online lessons was conducted to determine suitable mechanisms, issues, and challenges faced by the asnaf in online Qur’an learning. Interview protocol refinement (IPR) was employed to ensure the method was executed ethically, and the data were coded and analysed thematically using ATLAS.ti. The findings revealed a preference for WhatsApp, while low internet quality and accessibility were the expected apparent challenges during the restriction. The study underscores the importance of catering to the participants’ needs and addressing their lack, indicating a shift towards an andragogical approach of learner-centredness. Several actionable recommendations are forwarded to enhance the online Qur’an instructions for asnaf-mualaf.

The primary goal of this study is to improve the understanding of Mendelian genetics among Grade 8 students through the use of digital interactive Mendelian genetic comic stories (DIMenGeComS). This research contributes to the field of education by providing an innovative and engaging method to teach complex genetic concepts. Utilizing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods research design, this study involved pretests and posttests to measure the effectiveness of DIMenGeComS. The key findings indicate a significant improvement in the students’ comprehension of Mendelian genetics as specified by normalized gain scores in sections such as Linnaeus (0.57), and Sampaguita (0.69), all of which were medium to approaching high-class gain and had significant probabilities (p0.0001) less than 0.05 level of significance. These results suggest that DIMenGeComS can be a valuable tool in science education, offering the potential for further research into its application in other areas of the curriculum.
