This study explored on process drama and its potential as a constructivist, experiential, cooperative, and problem-based strategy for second language teaching to match with 21st Century Learning and the competencies of the K-12 curriculum. Conducted using a descriptive-developmental design, the study aimed to develop lesson exemplars using process drama in enhancing listening and speaking skills. Needs assessment was done to 288 students and 12 teachers to collect data on competencies deemed to be difficult. The top 15 most difficult listening and speaking competencies were then utilized for the development of four lesson exemplars which were validated by three drama and language experts prior to a trial demonstration. Results indicated that the developed lesson exemplars gathered validation ratings of 3.51- 4.00, interpreted as “Acceptable Without Any Revision”. After the trial demo, a thematic analysis of the 34 demo participants’ reflections was used to determine whe.....

Water is one of our most precious resources and as much as wanted it to be, it is not an infinite resource. Water not only supports human life and activities but also helps to maintain the ecological structure. Water was used for everyday household purposes, such as bathing, dishes, flushing toilets, and washing machine. These activities are producing greywater. This project aims to develop the prototype of greywater treatment to conserve water and convert contaminated water from the washing machine (greywater) into clean water that can be used for watering the plants. Arduino Uno, pH sensor, ultrasonic sensor, solenoid valve, servo motor, and potassium alum are components and materials used in this project. This project was achieved by chemical filtration of the greywater using Arduino Uno. The greywater will be collected and identify the pH level by using a pH sensor. The quantity of potassium alum inserted in greywater was based on the accumulated pH value. The potassium alum was in.....

Fertigation is a technique that combines plant fertigation and irrigation that becomes most used by the commercial farmers as well as home growers. However, fertigation systems required a constant water supply and the exact amount of nutrient that plant needed as it changes depending on their growth. The paper aims to research, create, built, test and implement an automatic mixing fertilizer by implementing Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) monitoring system according to the plant’s nutrient level needed. It is also exploring the potential of optimum water usage by constructing an automatic timer for watering the plants according to the routine schedule. The system used an Arduino UNO R3 as a microcontroller. TDS sensor sense and measure the dissolved solids in a nutrient solution which gives information on the number of nutrients or impurities in TDS value. In an automatic watering system, the pump is running according to the timer set by a microcontroller. The frequency of distribution .....

Mathematics is the subject that has the least frequency of using technology in the school. It is preferred chalk and talk method rather than the use of technology or presentation. Due to pandemic Covid19, the suitable method for the teaching and learning process is virtual learning. The same goes for teachers who need to change the method and think about how to implement it through online learning. Interactive multimedia is one of the best media that can attract students to learn in distance education, especially for Mathematics subjects that are most suitable to be conducted on the traditional method. It is more challenging as this new era has happened suddenly and it creates emergency online learning where most teachers do not experts in enhancing the interactivity learning at first. The purpose of this study is (1) to identify students’ perception of interactive multimedia in learning Mathematics during online distance learning and (2) to understand students’ motivation towards .....

The implementation of full online teaching and learning activities in Higher Educational institutions invites tangible challenges to sustain students’ interest and engagement in the course, throughout the semester. Meaningful learning encourages students to develop concepts constructively in active learning that promote the integration of knowledge in daily life and potential career applications. Meaningful learning also applies richer application capabilities in synchronous or asynchronous learning systems. Visualization is a technic to support concept description and imagination and provide an additional effective layer for learning towards increased motivation. In this paper, a discussion of the active involvement of students using visualization in online data analytics courses at the tertiary level is presented. Based on functional context principles of visualized course content, recommendations to practitioners are discussed.  ..

While fatty acids found in human milk account for half of the energy consumed by exclusively breastfed infants, fatty acids such as monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) plays critical roles in infant growth. Fatty acids components in human milk are vary widely accordance to the maternal diet during lactation but has not been sufficiently studied. The objective of this paper was to determine the correlation between maternal macronutrient intake with human milk’s fatty acids composition among exclusively breastfeeding mothers. A total of N=36 lactating mothers were recruited based on convenience sampling basis from Dengkil, Selangor and Kuantan, Pahang. A 24-hour dietary recall (24HR) was used to capture mother’s dietary intake in the past 24 hours. The human milk sample was collected in the next day morning after the diet recall and stored before proceeded to another fatty acids extraction and transesterification process namely Blig.....

This study examines the relationship between exchange rate and crude oil price of five Southeast Asia countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Singapore from January 1979 to January 2022 using monthly data. Augmented Dickey-Fuller test is used to examine the stationarity of the data. DCC-GARCH model is used to investigate the correlation between oil price and exchange rate. The result shows that skewness, kurtosis, autocorrelation and ARCH effects were found in both oil price and exchange rate. Results suggested that both short run persistence (α) and long run persistence(β) are found to be highly significant for oil price and exchange rate of all countries except Indonesia. Furthermore, the correlation coefficients vary over times for all the countries studied. Negative relationship was found between oil price and exchange rate over most of the periods studied in all countries studied...

This case study aims to analyze voice-controller (VC)’s implementation of five, national-type secondary schools, Kinta Utara, Ipoh, Perak, teachers in teaching mathematics form-one (T1) Dual Language Programme (DLP). VC consists of three elements: sound level and voice level practice (SL-VL-P); marker and voice level practice (M-VL-P); and activity and voice level practice (A-VL-P). Students’ voice level barrier disturbs teaching and learning. Teacher should control students’ voice level. This study contributes an alternative classroom control strategy for teachers and reflection to Secondary School Standard Curriculum planner about learning and facilitating’s situation in school from communication perspective. Data collection methods were teaching observation, interview, and document analysis. Content analysis method was used to analyze data. The research’s findings indicate the number of participants who had the VC’s goal: cognitive domain (five), affective domain (four),.....

This study investigated the use of collaborative learning to enhance mathematical understanding among elementary students. This study will give an overview on the usage of collaborative learning in mathematical teaching and learning as an interactive and interesting alternative approach that helps in enhancing mathematical understanding of learners. Mathematics may be regards as hard and difficult subject by most learners as they tend to be learning this subject in more traditional approach. This study focuses on the objective to study the interactions of the students during the collaborative learning activities, to investigate students’ perception and attitude towards collaborative learning as well as the effectiveness of collaborative learning in enhancing student’s mathematical understanding. This study employed the qualitative approach by combining the Communication Study Framework by Sfard and Kieren (2001) and The Pirie-Kieren Theory (1992,1991). The data collected from selec.....
