Geometric AR-based pedagogical module is beneficial: Affecting factors from the lens of Malaysian mathematics secondary school teachers
Faridah Hanim Yahya
The purpose of this study was to predict the likelihood that teachers would consider the Geometric AR-based Pedagogical Module (GeAR-PM) as beneficial, and study the factors that influence their decision. The data for this study was gathered via a survey method. A sample of 202 Malaysian secondary school teachers was randomly selected as respondents for this study. Specifically, the respondents were asked to answer questions using an instrument which was developed based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. This study comprised four UTAUT variables: performance expectation, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, and one additional variable, self-efficacy. All variables showed high reliability with Cronbach Alpha_s values between 0.87 to 0.91. The data was analyzed using a binary logistic regression via Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27.0. The findings revealed that a teacher's belief that GeAR-PM .....

Seeking higher order construction of cognitive abilities in a psychosocial learning environment
Nor Sa
In this study, we created a psychosocial learning environment consisting of five types of interaction, namely: student collaboration; specific learning objectives and curriculum coherence; learning facilities; independent learning; and constructivist instruction. This research aimed to determine the scope in which the five modes of contact improved students_ learning outcomes in higher order cognitive abilities. This quantitative study involved form four accounting students (N=352) in Malaysia who completed a self-administered questionnaire that included the higher order cognitive abilities (HOCA) test, the instruments of students_ perceived learning environment, and zone-specific demographic data. The results showed two of the five inventory of students_ perceived learning environment (ISPLE) scores. Specific learning objectives and curriculum coherence, were the most significant predictors and strongly correlated with higher order cognitive abilities. Even the components of the psych.....

A systematic review on research trends, datasets, algorithms, and frameworks of children’s nutritional status prediction
Bahbibi Rahmatullah
The monitoring of children's nutritional status serves as a crucial tool for assessing the health of both children and society as a whole. In this regard, machine learning (ML) has been employed to predict nutritional status for monitoring purposes. This topic has been extensively discussed. However, the question remains as to which algorithm or ML framework can yield the highest accuracy in predicting the nutritional status of children within a specific region. Furthermore, determining the appropriate dataset for predictions is also crucial. Therefore, this review aims to identify and analyze the research trends, dataset characteristics, algorithms, and frameworks utilized in studies pertaining to the nutritional status of children under the age of five from 2017 to early 2022. The selected papers focus on the application of ML techniques in predicting nutritional status. The findings of this research reveal that the Bangladesh demographic and health survey 2014 dataset is among the p.....

Wayang Edu: Digital application for Wayang Kulit Kelantan
Fara Dayana Mohd Jufry
Wayang Kulit Kelantan (WKK) is a traditional performance that has a long process in the learning session. This covers various aspects such as the background of the performance, repertoire, gambalan (puppets), as well as musical instruments and songs. This knowledge requires at least a year to understand the skills and techniques used. Therefore, Wayang Edu is a digital application built based on the analyze, design, development, implementation, evaluation (ADDIE) model to save learning time with traditional practitioners. The majority of users acknowledge that Wayang Edu offers a wealth of information and enables them to gain in-depth knowledge. Consequently, utilizing visual elements to convey messages is more impactful compared to traditional learning methods. Apart from that, Wayang Edu can be used anywhere at the user’s convenience. With the interaction found in the application, Wayang Edu has been used by students as a platform to get additional information about WKK. © 2024, I.....

Tween–80 coating in enhancing physicochemical stability, kinetics and release mechanism of layered double hydroxide-ferulate
Sharifah Norain Mohd Sharif
This study aims to enhance the targeted delivery of a powerful antioxidant, ferulate (FA), by developing a controlled release formulation (CRF) based on the incorporation of layered double hydroxide and Tween-80 polymeric surfactant. The layered double hydroxide-ferulate (LDH-FA) synthesized by co-precipitation method was homogenously mixed with the Tween-80 coater under continuous stirring. The successful Tween-80 coating was verified with PXRD analysis and supported by FTIR. No changes in interlayer distance between LDH-FA (at 17.4 and 8.7 A) and LDH-FA-T80 (at 17.6 and 8.6 A) were observed in the PXRD pattern. TGA/DTG analysis demonstrated good thermal stability of LDH-FA-T80, with the ability to withstand extreme temperatures up to 460 _C. The association of Tween-80 with LDH-FA progressively sustained the release time of FA in each aqueous solution, with a release time of up to 440 min. For both LDH-FA and LDH-FA-T80, the release of FA is through dissolution and anion exchange rel.....
