This study examines the efficacy of commercially available fertilizers and organic foliar fertilizers in enhancing the harvest of SL-8H hybrid rice. It aims to address several key questions related to the effects of these fertilizers on various parameters, such as yield, plant height, number of tillers, panicle length, quality based on farmers' preferences, and economic analysis. A Randomized Complete Block Design was used to collect data on the effectiveness of fertilizers in different garden plots. SL-8H rice yield and quality were significantly influenced by both commercial and organic foliar fertilizers. In terms of yield, plant height, number of tillers, and panicle length, organic foliar fertilizers, particularly those derived from Malunggay leaves and molasses, as well as banana peels and molasses, demonstrate comparable or even superior performance compared to commercial fertilizers. Additionally, organic foliar fertilizers provide economic advantages, offering lower production.....

Technological advances provide support to education in presenting more relevant and effective learning. One of the technological tools that is popularly implemented in physics learning as a learning medium is Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). These two technologies have various impacts on their use in the learning process. However, the review of the impact of learning from various previous researchers on the technology on physics learning is still limited. This literature review aims to identify the impact and challenges of applying DGBL and AI in physics learning. The method used for this article review is based on four stages. The first stage is the formulation of planning by determining the formulation of research questions. The second stage is the search for articles from Scopus, ProQuest, ERIC, Google Scholar, and open-access databases. Articles are obtained based on searches with keywords in the title and abstract and are in the range of.....

The use of game for mathematics teaching has widely been explored. However, development of localized game is limited especially in the context of Sorsogon province. This descriptive-developmental study developed a localized interactive game for grade 7 content topics which may serve as an enrichment activity for grade 7 and enhancement activity for grade 8. The localized concepts featured the local setting of Sorsogon province and was designed to provide students way to interact with the game and other students. The content of the game, up-to-datedness of information, and other details about the manipulative, passed the validation of 7 experts. Also, the game was found to be acceptable for the 32 student-respondents. Furthermore, revisions for improvement of the game were made for the game to better achieve its objectives. Keywords: Assessment Tool, Board game, Enrichment, Enhancement, Interactive, Localized..

Awareness of technological advancements in education is crucial to ensure that teaching and learning methods are more relevant and effective. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a new emerging technology in education, enabling computers to have human-like cognition. However, research on the effectiveness of AI technology in teaching and learning (TaL) science subjects is still limited. This literature review aims to identify trends, impacts, and challenges of AI implementation in science learning. The review employs a systematic review method consisting of four steps: framing research questions, searching for relevant articles or journals, reading and analyzing abstracts, and extracting information from the articles or journals. A total of 30 articles were reviewed in this study. The results of the review indicate that AI provides a positive effect on learning. A popular trend in the use of AI technology in science learning is chatbot from ChatGPT. The impact of applying AI in science educ.....

Sustainable household waste management is crucial for any nation. Currently, Malaysia relies heavily on landfilling as a waste disposal method. Unfortunately, most of the waste disposed of is recyclable. One of the contributing factors to householders' unwillingness to recycle is inadequate collection systems. The implementation of an efficient system for collecting recyclable waste would contribute to the improvement of Malaysia's waste management infrastructure, particularly regarding the restricted availability of suitable landfill space in the future. Therefore, this study employed the Miller-Tucker-Zimmer Travelling Salesmen Problem (MTZ-TSP) as a framework to address the issue of collection routing for recyclable material within household areas. For our research study, we have selected twelve households in Rasah, a suburban neighborhood located in Negeri Sembilan, as the empirical preliminary work. It took less than 150 minutes to collect the recyclables from these twelve househo.....

Academic engagement is a potential antidote to issues surrounding students’ learning outcomes. It is a multidimensional construct, which comprises of three aspects such as; emotional, cognitive and behavioural engagement. These dimensions are vital to one another and should not be considered in isolation. This paper investigated the dimensions of students’ academic engagement as predictors of male and female self-efficacy in and attitude to Senior Secondary School Mathematics. The study used an ex-post facto correlation approach. 1680 students from Senior Secondary School Two made up the study's sample from the twenty one randomly selected schools in the three Local Government Areas of Remo division of Ogun State. Three instruments were used namely, Mathematics Student Academic Engagement Scale (MSAES) with r  0.776; Mathematics Attitude Scale (MAS) with r  0.928 and Mathematics Self Efficacy Scale (MSES) with r  0.882 Findings showed a significant contribution in.....

Pelajar merupakan hasil utama Pusat Pengajian Tinggi (IPT). Bagi memastikan kejayaan universiti, pihak pengurusan universiti harus memastikan semua pelajar mendapat bantuan pendidikan yang sewajarnya dan berjaya bergraduat dengan cemerlang. Salah satu cabaran besar perancangan IPT adalah untuk meramal pencapaian pelajar semasa mereka mendaftar di IPT lagi, misalnya pelajar mana yang berpotensi untuk cemerlang serta pelajar manakah yang perlu dibantu supaya boleh berijazah dengan cemerlang. Berdasarkan situasi yang dinyatakan, kajian ini mengemukakan satu model pohon regresi, iaitu salah satu alat dalam kaedah perlombongan data untuk meramal pencapaian pelajar. Kajian ini menggunakan data profil pelajar yang diperoleh dari pangkalan data Bahagian Akademik UPSI (1997-2008), data tersebut dilombong dengan menggunakan bantuan pakej perisian R Language. Pencapaian pelajar diukur berdasarkan PNGK semasa pelajar bergraduat. Kajian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif, keseluruhan populasi kajia.....
