The purpose of the study is to investigate how male and female characters are portrayed in four English novels used by Form 2 and Form 3 students in Malaysian secondary schools. It is believed that the content of books read by students can leave an effect on their gender development. If the content is biased towards gender, the students may be influenced to accept the biased beliefs. Therefore, the study aims to determine if characters in the novels are given different prominence, personality traits, and roles. Through content analysis, the novels have been found to have unequal portrayal of male and female characters in terms of the number of characters depicted, the use of gender-specific pronouns, the personality traits, and the roles played by the characters. These findings are, to some extent, consistent with the findings of earlier studies in Malaysia and other countries. Based on this conclusion, it is hoped that further studies on the content of textbooks will be carried out in.....

Effective teaching styles are the most desirable styles for a teacher to infuse in his or her teaching in capturing the interest of students as well as to promote successful learning in an English language literature classroom. The neo-ethnographic study provides several interpretations of reality and alternative interpretations of data throughout the study because it is an in-depth investigation of a single case by a participant observer in the literature classroom. The purpose of this study is to identify the teaching styles preferred and also to identify the factors that influence teaching styles. This method of observation is adapted from the Flanders Interaction Analysis System (FIAS).The findings denote that the teacher’s teaching styles have created a learner-centred learning environment in literature classrooms. The correlation between the teacher’s teaching styles and the factors that influence teaching styles has been observed to be one of the influential learning climate.....

The Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) is widely accepted by instructional designers as it provides a strong theoretical foundation for developing effective instructional design guidelines. Instruction that efficiently presents learning materials within our working memory influences our ability to store knowledge and skills in long-term memory. CLT suggests that the most effective instructional materials are those that direct cognitive resources toward learning-related activities rather than toward tasks that are only preparatory to learning.In applying CLT to the design of instructional courseware, I discovered that it provides a solid foundation for developing effective learning instruction. Furthermore, to enhance courseware-based instruction effectively, the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and multimedia elements must be developed in consideration of CLT principles.Since the capacity of working memory is very limited, CLT assumes that presenting multiple sources of information in the same .....
