The writing problems of Kurdish students in the English department were worth studying and investigating. This study examined some selected writing problems, such as misuse of tenses, misuse of singular/plural forms, subject-verb agreement, articles, prepositions, spelling, and logical connectors. Data collection was based on written essays from 31 students, both female and male. The students made numerous errors related to these issues, which indicated their weak command of the English language. The investigated grammatical errors were as follows: spelling errors (801 errors, 39.77%), misuse of tenses (548 errors, 27.48%), articles (261 errors, 13.89%), subject-verb agreement (157 errors, 8.79%), prepositions (122 errors, 5.22%), misuse of singular/plural forms (87 errors, 4.31%), and logical connectors (12 errors, 0.53%), totaling 1988 errors. The causes of these errors were interlingual and intralingual, which were presented and explained based on the data collection and analysis. T.....

Tujuan utama penyelidikan ini adalah untuk meninjau pelaksanaan kaedah Penilaian Kendalian Sekolah Menengah (PKSM) di kalangan guru-guru Pendidikan Seni Visual di dua buah sekolah menengah di daerah Hulu Selangor. Kedua, adalah untuk mengetahui tahap kompetensi guru dalam melaksanakan PKSM. Sampel kajian terdiri daripada 20 orang guru yang mengajar Pendidikan Seni Visual di sekolah tersebut dan 80 orang murid Tingkatan 4 yang mengambil elektif dalam mata pelajaran ini mengikut tiga tahap iaitu lemah, sederhana, dan baik.Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kaji selidik dengan menggunakan soal selidik sebagai alat kajian yang telah diubah suai. Ia dibahagikan kepada dua bahagian iaitu: Bahagian A terdiri daripada item latar belakang seperti jantina, umur, bangsa, kategori jawatan, opsyen, dan lokasi sekolah, manakala Bahagian B pula terdiri daripada 21 item yang berkaitan dengan pengetahuan pengajaran dan pembelajaran serta tahap kemahiran dalam penilaian PKSM.Bagi responden murid pula, item s.....

Tujuan projek yang dicadangkan adalah khusus untuk membangunkan sebuah produk yang merupakan sebuah buku sumber Awang Batil yang mengandungi aspek-aspek lengkap tentang sejarah, tokoh, muzik, persembahan, dan penceritaan seni penglipur lara Awang Batil. Produk ini dirasakan perlu kerana tidak terdapat bahan yang lengkap tentang Awang Batil yang boleh digunakan sebagai bahan rujukan untuk mengajar Muzik Rakyat Malaysia dalam Sukatan Pelajaran Pendidikan Muzik Sekolah Menengah Tingkatan Empat. Kaedah temu bual dan pemerhatian adalah dirasakan sebagai satu kaedah yang paling sesuai digunakan untuk mendapatkan maklumat yang lengkap dan betul dari responden yang merupakan seorang tokoh penglipur lara Awang Batil. Dapatan daripada projek ini mendapati bahawa produk yang merupakan buku sumber Awang Batil ini sesuai digunakan sebagai bahan bantu mengajar untuk pelajaran Pendidikan Muzik, Kurikulum Bersepadu Sekolah Menengah (KBSM). Hasil kajian ini juga menjadi panduan asas kepada guru-guru mu.....

A need analysis is carried out to identify the current needs and wants of students to develop a Game-Based Learning Kit (GBL) on Form 1 Mathematics subjects. 70 respondents involved and randomly selected as a sample of studies involving teachers that teaching secondary school Mathematics subjects throughout Malaysia. In this study, a quantitative approach was used to collect information through questionnaire method using the Need Analysis Questionnaire (SSAK) instrument. The information and data obtained are analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings showed that 98.6% felt there was a need to develop a GBL Kit for Form 1 Mathematics. Next, 81.2% of teachers have chosen the Rational Number as the title that needs to be focused on developing the GBL Kit. In conclusion, there is a need to develop this PBP Kit for the Rational Number. As a result of the analysis, the GBL Kit to be developed should follow the characteristics of the content, activities, materials and assessment. Ke.....

The mathematical modeling of Nipah virus transmission, incorporating the bat-to-pig-to-human pathway, is essential for understanding this disease dynamics and optimizing control measures. Nipah virus, which naturally resides in animals, particularly fruit bats, spreads to humans via intermediate hosts like pigs. This research work highlights the significance of including this pathway in mathematical models for several crucial reasons. Firstly, it aids in comprehending zoonotic transmission, essential for designing effective control strategies. Secondly, it facilitates early detection and intervention by encompassing bats, pigs, and humans in the model. Monitoring factors such as bat population dynamics, pig infections, and human exposure enables timely intervention to prevent or mitigate outbreaks. Moreover, the complexity of Nipah virus transmission involving multiple species underscores the need for multifaceted control measures. We present a detailed mathematical model for Nipah vir.....

This study determined the effectiveness of interactive and indirect instruction in developing critical thinking skills among Grade 10 students of Sta. Anastacia – San Rafael National High School in a flipped science classroom. A quasi-experimental research design through pre-test and post-test strategies was utilized. The pre-test and post-test results measured the effectiveness of the flipped teaching strategies in developing the critical thinking skills of grade 10 learners and identify whether significant differences exist between the pre-test and post-test scores of the respondents exposed to interactive and indirect instruction. The findings indicated that four variables of critical thinking skills showed no significant difference in terms of the pre-test scores of the respondents. Moreover, there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the respondents in the different critical thinking skills as they are exposed to flipped teaching strategies sp.....

Recent studies have demonstrated substantial advancements in the treatment of dye wastewater through the synergistic incorporation of graphene oxide (GO) and metal oxide. This research focuses on the successful fabrication of a GO-based composite membrane using the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method. Two distinct metal oxides, titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO), were incorporated into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as the membrane carrier. The resulting membranes, namely PVDF/TiO2, PVDF/ZnO, and PVDF/TiO2/GO, were developed as photocatalyst membranes for the treatment of methylene blue (MB) dye contamination through adsorption-photocatalytic activity. The adsorption process was conducted for 30 minutes before initiating the photocatalytic activity. Upon UV-Vis measurement, the PVDF/TiO2/GO composite membrane exhibited superior dye degradation efficiency, reaching 91.89%, as compared to PVDF/TiO2 (91.38%) and PVDF/ZnO membrane (86.80%). This noteworthy enhancem.....

This paper investigated the magnetic field strength of a solenoid using the magnetometer of a smartphone. There were three experiments: magnetic field strength versus current; magnetic field strength versus number of turns; and magnetic field strength vs distance between smartphone and solenoid. The result of the experiment has found that magnetic field strength and current and magnetic field strength and number of turns have direct relationship to one another and conformed with the Ampere’s Law. Meanwhile, the magnetic field strength vs distance between smartphone and solenoid has an exponential relationship. This paper recommended to verify the permittivity of free space by revising the experimental set-up. From educational uses to practical applications, it provides the teaching and learning process with a convenient tool for measuring magnetic field strength at various points with incredible precision and accuracy with minimal effort required. Keywords: magnetic field strength, .....
