This study aims to develop a Classroom Activity-Based Instructional Design (CAID) Model to support teachers in teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (TCFL) through activity-based teaching in universities in Beijing. The research was conducted in three phases. In Phase I, a need analysis was carried out with 285 TCFL teachers through an online survey, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics of mean scores and standard deviations. The findings revealed issues in activity design, implementation, and evaluation, highlighting the need for a systematic CAID model to guide teachers. In Phase II, the design stage involved semi-structured interviews with five experts, who confirmed the proposed components and elements while suggesting three additional elements. In the development stage, 19 experts validated the model using the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM), and the results confirmed that all components and elements were accepted with expert consensus exceeding 75%, threshold values.....

As the world is becoming increasingly borderless with the advent of technology, the academic spaces  are increasingly becoming less confined to the four walls of a classroom. Many higher educational  institutions abroad have started harnessing the connective power of SNSs to further engage with  students outside the classroom. In line with this current trend in education, ideally there should  be online platforms which support the teaching and learning of subjects in Malaysian secondary  schools. This research is a systematic study of design, development and evaluation processes to  establish an empirical basis for the creation of THE EXCHANGE, a prototype of a virtual platform  using a SNS, to support the teaching and learning of English in a secondary school. The development  of THE EXCHANGE is based on an ISD model, ADDIE. The research also aims to obtain the users'  evaluation on the prototype developed in terms of its usability. THE EXCHANGE is evaluated by 46  .....

This study examined relationships between ethnic identity, family environment, learning motivation, and academic performance among ethnic minority undergraduates in Guangxi Province, China. A cross-sectional survey involved 828 students from three colleges. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. The instrument measured four latent constructs: (i) ethnic identity, using items adapted from established ethnic identity instruments; (ii) family environment, using items adapted from the Family Environment Scale; (iii) learning motivation, using items adapted from the Academic Motivation Scale; and (iv) academic performance, using self-reported indicators of grades, academic engagement, recognition, and academic-related experiences. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics in IBM SPSS (version 27), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) in SmartPLS4. SEM results showed that ethnic identity (_ = 0.366, p = 0.000) and family env.....

This paper extends the study of over-education in Malaysia by looking at the incidence and wage effects of over- and under-education across ethnic groups. Using the second Malaysia Productivity Investment Climate Survey (PICS-2), around 18% and 28% of workers employed in jobs for which they are overeducated and undereducated, respectively. By ethnic group, around 19% of Malays were overeducated with the corresponding figure of 15% each for the Chinese and The Indians. By contrast, around one-third of Chinese and Indian were undereducated as compared to 26% for the Malay. With respect to earnings outcomes, Ordinary Least Square (OLS) models showed that being over educated resulted in a greater earnings loss, around 9 to 11% irrespective of gender. However, being undereducated increases the individuals_ wage premium by around 9 to 12%. Close examination by ethnic groups revealed that the penalty is greater for the Indians (15%) and followed up by the Malays (10%) and Chinese (5%).Neverth.....

This study aims to examine the causal relationship between the variables education level, income, unemployment, and poverty in the District of Sumenep. Data that isused in this study is a time series data from the period 2003-2012. Methods used to view the data stationary using Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and Phillips-Perron (PP) method and testing the causal relationship between variables using Granger Causality Test. Based on the results of the data analysis it can be concluded that relationship between education level and poverty are not mutually independence or influence; the relationship between poverty and unemployment is not independence or influence each other; the relationship between unemployment and income is interdependence or mutual influence; the relationship between income and education level is interdependence or mutual influence; the relationship between education level and unemployment are not mutually independence or influence; the relationship between income and p.....

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneroka pengaplikasian kecerdasan buatan (AI) dalam pembelajaran dan pemudahcaraan Palamoly Bahasa Tamil di peringkat sekolah rendah. Palamoly yang bersifat kiasan dan sarat dengan nilai budaya sering menimbulkan kesukaran kepada murid untuk memahami makna tersirat secara mendalam. Kajian ini menggunakan reka bentuk kualitatif melalui temu bual mendalam bersama enam orang guru Bahasa Tamil bagi mengenal pasti cabaran pengajaran, tahap penglibatan murid serta keberkesanan penggunaan AI dalam PdP. Data dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan hermeneutik bagi menafsir pengalaman guru dan makna tersirat berkaitan penggunaan AI dalam pedagogi. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa AI membantu meningkatkan kefahaman kontekstual, keyakinan murid serta keupayaan mentafsir Palamoly secara bermakna melalui visualisasi, interaksi dan sokongan pembelajaran yang bersesuaian. Walau bagaimanapun, kajian ini turu t mengenal pasti kekangan dari segi kesediaan guru, masa dan sokongan p.....

Aluminum alloy AlSi12CuFe (AA332.0) is use as matrix material and Mg2Si (_ 10 _ 15 _m) as reinforcement will study. Composites containing of 15wt. % and reinforcement develop by stirring casting route. The ingot alloy melts in a graphite crucible in an electric furnace at 750_C _ 5_C. This molten stir for 45 minutes and the Mg2Si particles will add inside the vortex during stirring. After completion of the particle feeding, the molten will re-melt in the same temperature for another 15 minutes. The molten finely pours into the metal mould and allowed to solidify at room temperature. Full heat treatments will provide for the samples; solution treatment consist of heating in an electrical furnace at 500_C (_1_C) for 5 hours and then quenching in water at room temperature. The aging treatment shall be done at 170_C for 2 hours. Hardness analysis conducts by following the ASTM E384 _ 09 using a Vickers hardness tester. The wear tests conduct using a pin on disc sliding wear testing machine.....
