Higher education academics are lacking the knowledge on how to implement Design Thinking for transdisciplinary design studies that would produce Fourth Industrial Revolution Workforce Skills (4IRSkills), due to the sparsity in literature and implementation guidelines. This research aims to develop a Teaching and Learning Framework (TLF) for transdisciplinary design studies with a desktop-based Virtual Reality Learning Environment (VRLE) simulation of studio-based learning. The TLF builds on Selander’s Learning Design Sequence (LDS) with the embedded Design Thinking process complemented with social constructivist pedagogies of project-based and situated studio-based learning. The study employed a sequential explanatory mixed-method approach with triangulation protocols to examine the effectiveness of the TLF with VRLE on 30 undergraduate transdisciplinary students. A quasiexperiment was conducted on a control and treatment group over two different fully online academic sem.....

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between need-supportive coaching behaviour, self-efficacy, subjective task value, goal orientation and engagement among Chinese high school football players, and the mediating role of selfefficacy, subjective task value, and goal orientation in the relationship between needsupportive coaching behaviour and athlete engagement, to better understand the determinants and mechanisms of athlete engagement. Participants were 385 Chinese high school football players (228 boys; 157 girls; Mage = 16.07 years; SD = 1.15; range = 14-19 years) on 20 teams from 45 high schools using a proportional stratified random sampling method. They completed a set of previously validated questionnaires, including the Interpersonal Behaviours Questionnaire (IBQ), Self-efficacy Questionnaire for Soccer (SEQ-S), Subjective Task Value (STV), The Task and Ego Orientations Questionnaire (TEOSQ) and Athlete Engagement Questionnaire (AEQ). A mult.....

The aim of the study was to investigate English learning motivation among ethnic minority English learners in rural China. Based on Dörnyei’s L2 Motivational Self System theory, participants’ English learning motivation was investigated and factors which affect their motivation to learn English were explored. Besides, the relationship between the participants’ English proficiency and learning motivation was also investigated. The study adopted a mixed methods case study research approach. 38 students of Uyghur and Kazak ethnic groups in Ningxia University were selected as the participants and 6 of them were recruited as cases. Research data was collected on English proficiency test, questionnaire and interview. Quantitative data was analysed by conducting descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation analysis, while the qualitative data was analysed by using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that ethnic minority English learners in rural China had a favourable d.....

Kajian lepas menunjukkan isu ketidakpadanan penawaran program pengajian di politeknik dengan permintaan pihak berkepentingan menyebabkan program pengajian dianggap tidak relevan dengan keperluan industri semasa. Oleh itu, tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk membangunkan kerangka baharu keperluan perancangan penawaran program pengajian di politeknik. Teori Pihak Berkepentingan dan Model Elemen Organisasi telah digunakan untuk mengukur dimensi perancangan. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan reka bentuk dan pembangunan (DDR) oleh Richey dan Klein yang melibatkan tiga fasa – penilaian keperluan, reka bentuk dan pembangunan serta penilaian. Sampel kajian terdiri daripada 20 pakar bidang dan 30 pentadbir politeknik. Instrumen kajian terdiri daripada protokol temu bual dan soal selidik. Kesahan konstruk soal selidik telah disahkan oleh 5 orang pakar dan indeks kebolehpercayaan soal selidik berdasarkan Alfa Cronbach adalah 0.97. Dalam fasa pertama, pakar bersetuju bahawa kerangka bahar.....

Athletes' food habits and nutritional understanding are closely related and have a significant impact on their performance. Athletes should always consider the importance of nutrition in their growth and development but yet, there still lacks study on nutrition knowledge toward individual sports. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in prevalence of nutritional knowledge between genders among UiTM Perlis athletes who are playing individual sports. One-hundred and seventeen athletes has completed the Component of Nutritional Questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 30 questions which test the nutrition knowledge of the athletes. The questionnaire was divided into two sections which consist of section A (covered demographics questions) and section B (the nutritional knowledge questions). The data showed the mean nutrition knowledge score of female athletes (18.98 ± 2.64) was slightly higher compared to male athletes (18.78 ± 2.27), (p = 0.65). The prevalence o.....

Nutrition knowledge will provide correct information on the nutritional values of food and lead to healthy eating habits among athletes. However, a lack of nutritional knowledge can lead to questionable dietary practices or behaviors, which can result in adverse effects on their health and performance Thus, this study aims to assess nutritional knowledge among high school athletes and its association with the occurrence of sports injury. Approximately 200 participants (50% were male) aged range from 13 years old to 21 years completed this study. They answered an online questionnaire that consisted of two parts, demographic background and nutrition knowledge. The result showed that most school athletes were lack in nutritional knowledge with mean scores of 32.5 ± 10.6%. There was no significant association between nutritional knowledge and occurrence of injury during sports involvement except for micronutrient components (p..

This study was conducted to determine the kinematics during high loads forward lunge (70% and 85% 1RM). Thirty recreationally active, untrained men (mean age = 22.04 ± 0.81 years old) were recruited and were assigned to perform forward lunge with 70% 1RM (70FL) and 85% 1RM (85FL) with both their dominant and non-dominant leg. No significant differences were found on all the joint angles (ankle, knee, hip and trunk) between 70FL and 85FL. Ascend time, descend time and time taken were found to be significantly shorter during 75FL while step length was found to be significantly greater during 75FL. Besides that, ascend time, descend time and time taken were significantly faster and the step distance was significantly greater in the dominant limb compared to the non-dominant limb during both loading. To conclude, kinematics during movement are affected by the loading lifted and the dominant and non-dominant sides of limb used. Keywords: loading, forward lunge, untrained men, kinematics..
