This study aims to formulate a motivational design framework for augmented reality (AR) in early childhood education (ECE) in Malaysia. A design and development research (DDR) approach was adopted, comprising three distinct phases. In the analysis phase, findings revealed a research gap in the context of ECE, particularly regarding motivational design frameworks for AR. The design and development phase involved formulating the Augmented Reality Motivational Design Framework (ARMDF) based on previous research findings, preschool children_ feedback, and the ARCS Motivational Model. The ARMDF was validated through expert consensus involving 14 specialists in AR and ECE using the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM). Following validation, an AR application, Pengembaraan Ali & Dino: Siri COVID-19, was developed based on the ARMDF specifications. In the evaluation phase, a qualitative study was conducted with eight preschool children through observations and interviews, with data analyzed thematically .....

Computational sustainability involves providing computational solutions to improve the quality of life, protect ecosystems, and preserve natural resources for future generations. The question of how prepared the computing faculty is to shape the next generation to recognize the importance of computational sustainability remains unanswered. This study aims to develop an instrument to assess the readiness of the faculty to offer computational sustainability, either in the form of knowledge or skills to students. Therefore, the study_s objective is to investigate and delineate the dimensions and levels of faculty readiness and develop an appropriate assessment instrument. A literature synthesis was conducted to propose suitable dimensions and levels of readiness, followed by developing a draft instrument. This draft was then validated by four experts with doctoral qualifications (Ph.D.) in computer science and information technology who are proficient in English. Subsequently, two rounds .....

The main of the study is to investigate the effects of flipped classroom approach (FCA) on Chinese EFL college students_ speaking skills. It employed a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design featuring a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group component. Convenience sampling was used for the quantitative phase, recruiting 128 students divided into control (n=64) and experimental (n=64) groups, while purposive sampling was utilized for the qualitative phase to select 15 participants across beginner, intermediate, and advanced proficiency levels. Data collection strategies for quantitative data included the College English Test-Spoken English Test (CET-SET) administered as pre- and post-tests and perception questionnaires, while qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and reflective notes. Data analysis for quantitative data involved independent samples t-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests to compare groups, paired samples t-tests and Wi.....

This research investigates the effectiveness of a Capture the Flag (CTF) game-based training module in enhancing students' understanding of cybersecurity concepts. The primary issue addressed is the gap in practical cybersecurity skills among students, despite theoretical knowledge. To tackle this, we developed a CTF web-based game called Script Kiddie Resilience Capture the Flag (SKRCTF) using a five-step gamification approach tailored for educational purposes. The game design process began with aligning the cybersecurity education syllabus from two universities with industry standards. This alignment ensured relevance and applicability. We then deployed a minimum viable prototype (MVP) of the game on an e-learning platform, guided by the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. The game's Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) was validated by four experienced academicians, and its Technology Content Knowledge (TCK) was assessed by two cybersecurity professiona.....

This study aims to develop modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes paste electrodes based on pyrazolone derivative ligand for detecting acetaminophen (APAP), dopamine (DOP), and ascorbic acid (AA). 1-Phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (HPMBP) has been synthesized by mixing of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) and benzoyl chloride. Second ligand, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(2-fluorobenzoyl)-5-pyrazolone (HPMoFBP) and third ligand, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(3-fluorobenzoyl)-5-pyrazolone (HPMmFBP) have been prepared by mixing of PMP with 2-fluorobenzoyl chloride and 3-fluorobenzoyl chloride separately. To produce the sensor, these ligands are mixed with multiwalled carbon nanotubes and placed in a Teflon tube. The carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR) spectrum of HPMBP exhibited chemical shift of 119.20 ppm and 132.01 ppm at the C2_ and C3_ position, respectively. The presence of the fluorine atom deshielded the C2_ of HPMoFBP and C3_ of HPMmFBP to 159.91 ppm and 160.99 ppm, respectivel.....
