The application of augmented reality (AR) as a learning tool is crucial for incorporating virtual objects into real-world environments to support learners in their educational journey. Despite the growing interest in AR applications for learning, research in this area is still in its early stages, particularly concerning the development of AR applications tailored for children, taking into account their needs and design preferences. This study aims to gain insights into children's perspectives on interface and content design, specifically for augmented reality application development. By involving children in the design process, the study seeks to identify their interface design preferences for AR characters and explore the topics that interest them the most. To achieve these objectives, the paper outlines the development process of an AR mobile application named "AR-Speaking Buddy," which was designed by considering children's content needs and interface design preferences. The applic.....

The purpose of this study was to translate the LOTCA-G into a Malay language (M­LOTCA-G) for assessing cognitive deficit among institutional elderly who undergo occupational therapy. LOTCA-G battery is being used by Occupational Therapist in Malaysia to identify the underlying cognitive deficits among elderly. The study was based on a single group test-retest design where 52 selected subjects (among elderly) have been tested for reliability and validity. The new version of LOTCA-G called M-LOTCA-G was compared with the original version and another cognitive screening instrument Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) to examine its consistencies and abnormality interpretation. This study concluded that M-LOTCA-G is reliable as the Cronbach Alpha value is more than 0.9 and the overall reliability of the subtests are very good for 23 sub-tests that have been tested. This study also indicated that LOTCA-G and M-LOTCA-G are consistent in the subject performance. Subject’s performances have.....

Dribbling is the basic function of allowing players to maintain control the ball while running past opponents or accelerating into open space. This study aims to develop futsal dribbling sensor instrument (FDSI) based on the analysis of dribbling distance of futsal players in matches, evaluate the validity and reliability, and investigate the relationship between anthropometric factors and physical condition with dribbling speed. This study uses the research and development method. Researcher recruited 132 Indonesian futsal players with Age 19.5 _ 1.1 Years, Height 166.9 _ 5.8 cm, Weight 60.0 _ 8.6 kg. The results revealed that the average dribbling distance of futsal players in matches is 10.55 meters. The initial product in the form of 10 m x 4 m FDSI was revised and the final product was 10 m x 6 m. FDSI presents construct validity with value of Aiken V (0.80) > 0.69, participant acceptability is 93.18%. The concurrent validity of FDSI with the zig zag running test (recount = 0.70, .....

Hasil kajian mendapati tahap pengetahuan alergi sampel adalah rendah (min 36.8, sisihan piawai 15.15). Tahap pengetahuan guru adalah sederhana (min 49.9, sisihan piawai 11.9); pelajar, ibu dan bapa pada tahap rendah masing-masing dengan min 33.3, 34.5 dan 33.2; sisihan piawai 12.2, 15.9 dan 15.3.
