Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk menentukan korelasi secara langsung dan tidak langsung di antara pembolehubah penyumbang (pengalaman komputer, keberkesanan kendiri komputer, tanggapan kesenangan penggunaan dan tanggapan kebergunaan) dengan pembolehubah bersandar (kecenderungan mengguna teknologi komputer) dalam kalangan guru sekolah rendah berasaskan Model Penerimaan Teknologi (TAM) yang dibangunkan oleh Davis (1986). Kajian soal selidik ini melibatkan sampel seramai 341 orang guru yang dipilih secara rawak berkelompok dan menggunakan analisis bivariat Pearson dan regresi. Keputusan analisis bivariat Pearson mendapati terdapat perhubungan langsung yang signifikan (p < .01) di antara pengalaman komputer (r =.42), keberkesanan kendiri komputer (r = .35), tanggapan kesenangan penggunaan teknologi komputer (r = .59) dan tanggapan kebergunaan teknologi komputer (r = .56) dengan kecenderungan mengguna teknologi komputer. Dapatan analisis regresi berbilang tatatingkat menunjukkan pengalaman ko.....

This study aimed to examine the influence of teacher support on student engagement in mathematics. A cross-sectional survey was employed to recruit 632 students from grades 7 to 9 in junior middle schools across China. Participants completed various scales, including a teacher support scale, an academic self-efficacy scale, a student engagement scale, an achievement goal questionnaire, and a passing and failing math scale. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 20.0, Amos 24.0, and the SPSS macro PROCESS. The results indicated teachers’ autonomy support, emotional support, and competence support were positively associated with student engagement. Specifically, teachers’ emotional support (β = 0.32, p < 0.001) and competence support (β = 0.36, p < 0.001) had a significant positive impact on student engagement, with competence support making the most significant contribution and autonomy support having the weakest contribution. Additionally, academic self-efficacy mediat.....

Self-regulated learning is an active learning process including strategy use, meta meta- cognition, and motivation. Self Self-regulation failure is the core problem of academic procrastination, which seriously threatens academic success. This research aims to study t he direct effects of self self-regulated strategies on academic procrastination and academic success among undergraduate students. It also investigated the mediation effect of academic procrastination on meta meta-cognitive strategies, time management, effort regula tion, and student’s academic success. A fully quantitative study was conducted, and a questionnaire survey which includes Tuckman Procrastination Scale, the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, and the School Connectedness Scale was conducted a mong 239 university students who learn English as a foreign language. To explore the direct effects and indirect effects of time management, effort regulation, meta meta-cognitive self self-regula.....

This study investigated the feasibility of using piezoelectric tiles in harvesting energy from the footsteps of people. The piezoelectric tiles were made of three materials, namely wood, porcelain, and ceramic tiles, where five piezoelectric plates were attached to each corner and center of individual tiles. A voltmeter was then attached to the piezoelectric tile system to determine the voltage output when people step on the tiles. Study findings revealed that the wood tile produced a mean voltage of 0.711V, the porcelain tile, 0.698V, and the ceramic tile, 1.018V. Analysis of variance results showed that there were significant voltage output differences among the three tiles, and the post-hoc analysis revealed that the voltage outputs of wood and porcelain tiles were comparable with one another, while the voltage output of ceramic tiles was the greatest among the three. The study concluded that the mechanical energy coming from the footsteps could be harvested using the piezoelectric .....
