Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti tahap kesediaan guru dalam menjalankan Model Tasmik di sekolah kebangsaan. Sampel kajian ini terdiri daripada 422 orang guru j-QAF. Dapatan kajian ini diperoleh menggunakan kaedah tinjauan (survey) yang menggunakan soal selidik sebagai instrumen. Sebanyak 22 item telah diuji dan dianalisis dengan menggunakan statistik deskriptif. Hasil dapatan kajian menunjukkan 19 item berada pada tahap tinggi dengan min antara (4.01 hingga 5.00), manakala 2 item berada pada tahap sederhana tinggi (min=3.01-4.00). Dapatan keseluruhan menunjukkan bahawa tahap kesediaan guru berada pada tahap yang tinggi iaitu (min=4.27, sp.=0.392). Diharapkan kajian ini mampu menjadi panduan dalam memperbaiki dan memantapkan lagi perlaksanaan pengajaran guru j-QAF yang telah sedia ada dan menyelesaikan perm.....

Pembiayaan pajak gadai konvensional telah wujud sejak abad ke-19 lagi. Namun, praktis pemberian pinjaman daripada pajak gadai konvensional sering dikaitkan dengan penyelewengan dan mempunyai unsur eksploitasi terhadap peminjam. Sebagai alternatif, pajak gadai Islam yang pertama telah diwujudkan pada tahun 1992 iaitu Muassasah Gadaian Islam Terengganu dengan inisiatif oleh Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Melayu Terengganu (MAIDAM). Sehingga tahun 2013, terdapat 464 buah cawangan daripada 10 institusi yang menawarkan pembiayaan pajak gadai Islam berbanding pajak gadai konvensional yang berlesen iaitu 259 buah. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk menganalisis persepsi tiga perintis utama pemegang pajak gadai Islam di Malaysia iaitu MAIDAM, YaPEIM dan Bank Kerjasama Rakyat Malaysia berkaitan aspek kemapanan dan daya saing produk, isu pembiayaan berfokuskan penggunaan dan kesedaran masyarakat terhadap kewujudan pajak gadai Islam. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif yang melibatkan temu bual sep.....

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti teknik yang digunakan oleh pelajar dalam pembelajaran tahfiz, perbezaan latarbelakang pelajar dan amalan teknik pembelajaran tahfiz. Kajian ini juga mengenal pasti adakah terdapat hubungan antara teknik pembelajaran tahfiz dengan pencapaian pelajar. Kajian ini melibatkan 212 pelajar dari seluruh institusi tahfiz yang mengambil Diploma Tahfiz Darul Quran di Malaysia. Instrumen soal selidik digunakan dalam kajian ini telah dibina sendiri oleh penyelidik dan disahkan kandungannya oleh panel rujukan pakar. Tahap nilai kebolehpercayaan Alpha Cronbach bagi semua bahagian dalam soal selidik adalah tinggi (>0.9). Data kajian dianalisis secara deskriptif menggunakan min, sisihan piawai dan peratus. Manakala untuk mendapatkan perbezaan dan hubungan, data dianalisis secara inferensi menggunakan ujian-t dan korelasi Pearson. Analisis data inf.....

Artists have interpreted and explore the concept of colour, space and environment in variety of different forms of installations to represent various contexts: physically and visually, emotionally and psychologically. Liam Gillick’s and Daniel Buren’s works especially manipulate colour reflection through the use of coloured panels that arrange in repetitive geometric forms effectively transform the space into a glowing colour reflection environment. By exploring the concept of illusionary planes, Sol LeWitt’s installations manipulate viewers’ perception and the relationship between colour, space and architecture. Meanwhile, Olafur Eliasson is the artist that explores colours and its effect on space and surroundings within the context of perception and reality. The unique character of each installation has a strong role in influencing a physiological and psychological experience...

Anatomy and morphological characters were employed to identify four samples of Tacca sp. (Belimbing Tanah) from different localities in Perak. Anatomical characters including leaf epidermal characters, leaf venation, type of stomata and trichomes were investigated through transverse sections, epidermal peel and leaf clearing procedures. The outline and vascularization of the sections were also investigated. Result has shown that Tacca from four different localities in Perak were similar anatomically. However, morphologically these four species can be differentiated mostly based on their leaves, flowers and fruits. The leaf margins are slightly different of either entire or denticulate, and the colours of floral bracts are either purplish-black or purplish-black at the base gradually turns white to the apex. Eventhough they are slightly different morphologically, Tacca of Gunung Lang and Gunung Liang were suggested as T. chantrieri based on dichotomous key of Kalkman which emphasizes on.....

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti hubungan antara tahap kemahiran al-Quran guru Kelas Khas Kemahiran Membaca dan Menghafaz al-Quran (KKQ) dan pencapaian pelajar dalam pelajaran tajwid al-Quran di Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur. Seramai 134 orang pelajar KKQ terlibat dalam kajian ini. Kajian kuantitatif ini menggunakan reka bentuk kajian tinjauan dan data kajian diperoleh dengan menggunakan sebuah instrumen soal selidik. Kesahan data dilakukan dengan menubuhkan panel rujukan pakar. Data dianalisis secara inferensi untuk mendapatkan nilai korelasi pearson bagi pemboleh ubah yang dikaji. Melalui kajian rintis yang dijalankan, didapati kebolehpercayaan alat kajian berdasarkan alfa Cronbach berada pada tahap tinggi iaitu >0.80. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan, terdapat hubungan signifikan pada tahap yang rendah antara tahap kemahiran al-Quran guru dengan pencapaian tajwid al-Quran pelajar. Justeru, kemahiran ini perlu dikuasai dan ditingkatkan oleh guru KKQ kerana ia merupakan salah sa.....

The teaching of engineering courses is relatively challenging due to the nature of the courses that are perceived as “difficult courses” by a number of students. Thus, the purpose of this action research was to explore the problems faced by electrical and electronic engineering (PKEE) students studying a difficult topic–transistor. This research was also aimed at identifying the students’ attitude towards Problem-based Learning (PBL). Literature has shown that PBL could enhance students’ understanding and make the learning more meaningful. The theoretical framework of this study was based on Kemmis and Mc Taggart model. Cooperative learning method was also utilised in this study consisted of Jigsaw technique in the first and second rounds of the study. In the final round, the discussion method was used. In an action research design, a classroom is a usual research site. Thus, an engineering class of 30 Form 5 students in a Technical School was selected. The PBL method was app.....

The talking‐head animation is an instructional animation capable of improving the communication skills through enhancing the pronunciation skills; whereby a word is pronounced correctly and accurately. This had been proven by several researches, which indicate that learning with interactive animation is much more advantageous than conventional learning. Hence, the mistake in choosing the realistic level of an animated character at a particular condition has negative effect on students’ learning performance. Therefore, this study would focus on the Uncanny Valley phenomenon, which is understood to have an effect on the students’ emotions. This phenomenon is mainly attributed to the animated character design which is almost similar to real humans. To overcome these problems, the non‐realistic three‐dimensional and two‐dimensional talking‐head animation courseware has been developed to ensure that students get the maximum learning from the point of emotional reaction and lea.....
