Forest ecosystems have always received worldwide attention due to their biological diversity and these forests are vital for human existence since their area is decreasing due to human negligence and over-exploitation by the human population. Recent reports showed the evidence of illegal logging and harvesting activities, detected late, thus coming up with serious consequences. Therefore, an early detection system must be developed to monitor these illegal activities by collecting the environmental data. This research characterized the dynamics, cycle of temperature, humidity, and phase particle based on the conceptual framework that has been developed. The ADDIE model was selected as the proper model to be implemented in developing the prototype. The sensing data has been identified as a salient data for preserving the forest ecosystem that must be protected as part of the population well-being and prolong heritage. The hardware components for designing this prototype consisted of tem.....

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menilai kejayaan pelaksanaan sistem maklumat dalam sektor pendidikan di Malaysia khususnya Sistem Pengurusan Maklumat Pendidikan (EMIS). Isu penjajaran (fit) antara pengguna, tugas dan teknologi yang digunakan, serta hubungan dengan kejayaan pelaksanaan sistem maklumat merupakan fokus kajian. Faktor yang mempunyai impak kepada kejayaan pelaksanaan sistem seperti ciri-ciri individu yang mengguna teknologi, tugas yang dilakukan, dan ciri-ciri teknologi yang digunakan merupakan elemen yang dikaji. Model Penjajaran Task-Teknologi (Task- Technology Fit) oleh Goodhue dan Thomson diadaptasi oleh penyelidik bagi menilai kejayaan pelaksanaan sistem maklumat tersebut. Selain daripada dokumen yang berkaitan dengan pelaksanaan EMIS, seramai 43 orang pegawai perkhidmatan pendidikan telah ditemuduga. Mereka terdiri daripada guru data, pengetua, guru kanan, penolong pegawai pendidikan (daerah dan negeri). Hasil kajian menunjukkan wujud penjajaran yang tinggi di antara pengg.....

Bimbingan daripada pensyarah adalah sangat penting bagi pelajar untuk memahami kursus yang dihadiri. Pertemuan sewaktu sesi kuliah adalah tidak mencukupi bagi pelajar memahami apa yang diajarkan, jesteru, pertemuan di luar daripada sesi kuliah perlu dipertimbangkan. Walau bagaimanapun, salah satu masalah yang dihadapi oleh pelajar adalah kesukaran untuk menetapkan masa pertemuan. Pelajar dan pensyarah disempadani oleh jadual harian mereka yang merumitkan proses untuk membuat temu janji. Student Appointment and Consulation System (SAPCoS) adalah satu aplikasi mudah alih yang telah dibangunkan untuk membolehkan pelajar membuat temu janji dengan pensyarah dengan mudah. Dengan menggunakan aplikasi ini, pelajar dan pensyarah dapat mengatur, mengetahui dan mengemakini status dan memperolehi notifikasi temu janji dengan menggunakan telefon pintar dengan lebih cepat dan cekap. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan pembangunan model air terjun, aplikasi telah berjaya dibina dan diuji. Hasil soal selidi.....

The Named Entity Recognition (NER) field had been thriving for more than 15 years. NER could be defined as a process that recognizes named entities, such as the names of persons, organizations, locations, times, and quantities. The research field of NER generally emphasizes on the extraction and classification of mentions for rigid designators. This ranged from text, such as proper names, biological species, temporal expressions, and so on. NER has been utilized in many sectors, for example ranging from inquiries to morphological syntax, besides information extraction. However, most of the work had been delegated on limited domains and textual genres such as news articles and web pages. Techniques used during the processing of English text cannot be used to process Malay-related terminology. This is due to the different morphological usage of a particular language. Finding co-references and aliases in a text can be reduced to the same problem of finding all occurrences of an entity in .....

Learning English pronunciation is crucial in enhancing primary school pupils_ communication skills, yet many struggle. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a natural language processing (NLP) tool in improving primary school pupils_ English pronunciation by measuring motivation, confidence, and performance. Conducted in a primary school in Johor, the research used a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design with 30 Year 3 pupils divided into two groups (15 pupils for each group), which are a control and a treatment group. The English teacher assessed motivation, confidence, and performance using a rubric-based evaluation, with a Cronbach_s Alpha value of 0.932, indicating high reliability. This study compares conventional teaching methods with NLP. With _ = 0.10, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) assessed the effectiveness of the teaching methods. The combined dependent variables significantly differed based on teaching methods, Pillai Trace = 0.95, F (24, 5) = 3.72, p < 0.....

Planning for teaching imposes a significant burden on teachers as they need to prepare different lesson plans for different classes according to various constraints such as students_ ability and previous knowledge. SmartLP, a casebased lesson planning system, has been implemented as a means of assisting teachers in constructing quality lesson plans more quickly and efficiently. SmartLP applied Case Based Reasoning (CBR) approach which consists of the following processes; retrieve, reuse, revise and retain within its cycle. CBR is the process of solving new problems based on the solutions of similar past problems. The first and most crucial step of solving new problem in CBR is the process of retrieval relevant cases from the case base. There are several factors that affect case retrieval such as similarity measure, indexing approach and all techniques within the approaches. Both computational (measures of similarity) and representational approaches were used for case retrieval in Smart.....

The main aim of this study is to develop the Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) standard for Malaysian ICT teachers. The researchers used the Delphi method to analyze data elicited from a group of practitioners, namely 245 expert ICT teachers who volunteered to participate in the study. Using this method, the teachers_ opinions were elicited through three rounds of survey to reach a consensus regarding the importance of three domains of ICT teaching: (a) Knowledge of students and learning, (b) Knowledge of curriculum, and (c) Knowledge of teaching strategies. The analysis of the data showed that there were 13 important knowledge items required by ICT teachers, 45 very important knowledge items, and one moderate item. This finding helped the researchers in developing the PCK standard that can help institutions of higher learning to improve current training practices of ICT trainee teachers. Keywords Content Knowledge, Delphi Method, ICT Teachers, Pedagogical Content Knowledge..

The main aim of this study is to design and develop a recycling management system called ReMaS. An efficient recycling management system is important in assisting related activities in order to protect the environment, and furthermore, it also helps to educate the community, especially in universities, in practicing recycling activities in their daily lives. The development of this system is not only timely but necessary in view of the low awareness about recycling among many sections of the Malaysian community. ReMaS was built based on the prototype approach and was then appraised through a survey, in particular, to measure the system usability and user interface. The findings revealed that all the respondents agreed that the multimedia elements used in the system were appropriate and the system itself was easy to use. Thus, through a user friendly, easy to use recycling management system such as ReMaS, efforts to inculcate a high level of empathy toward keeping our environment clean .....
