The high availability of technology-related jobs is currently not fulfilled by enough supply of technology graduates, specifically the ones coming from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses. This is related to the low enrolment rate of STEM-based courses at Universities. The notion that STEM subjects are intense and difficult to pass could be the reason of such phenomena. This research experimented different lecture delivery methods comprising of different seating arrangements, inclusion or exclusion of break, group size, and room size to investigate the generated levels of stress among STEM students, so that the method that would induce minimum stress could be discovered. The analysis of the generated heart rates as stress indication concludes that the level of difficulty of STEM subject’s topic is the one that most affected students’ level of stress, while inclusion of break during class is imperious to destress students. Class arrangement with far seat.....

The current nationwide deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) in Malaysia has never been assessed nor benchmarked against any Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). A proven IoT assessment standard called CREATE-IoT has successfully driven IoT projects in European countries, and it is hence used as a benchmarking tool in this research. The assessment that includes both technical and business perspectives concludes that 42 out of 50 KPIs (84%) in Malaysia are in the advanced state. Malaysia is thus rated as an IoT-ready country. However, rooms for improvement exist in the scopes of providing expected duration for completing an IoT service transaction to predict the level of customer satisfaction when using the service – and the ability to produce IoT sensors and devices locally to have sustainable, scalable, and economical continuous IoT deployments. © 2024, Semarak Ilmu Publishing.

The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of utilising wireless integrated configuration technology among students enrolled in networking courses. The proposed method entails using Raspberry Pi as the key hardware component to facilitate wireless configuration, hence facilitating seamless connectivity and communication across wireless devices. The networking solution facilitates the transport of data, exchange of resources, and cooperation in a wireless manner, eliminating the need for physical cables or wires. The research methodology for this study entails descriptive analysis in the form of a survey, which will have an impact on the quantitative findings. The results of the needs study found that over 90% of students agreed that the use of wireless configuration devices would improve understanding and interest them in doing network configuration. Based on the findings from interview sessions with experts, it has been demonstrated that the utilisation of wireless i.....

The evaluation of information systems (IS) models, which are employed to research the adoption or acceptance of metaverse systems, is thought to be a subject of major significance. Studying the adoption or acceptability of the metaverse system is not a recent study area, and many academics have taken on the task. We should be acquainted with the leading IS models used in this study trend to assess these models and give academics a comprehensive understanding of this study trend. The primary goal of this research, in contrast to previous reviews, is to systematically evaluate the metaverse research in education from the viewpoint of IS theories/models to offer a thorough pointer that might help the scholars to carry out additional research in metaverse acceptance. A total of 41 research that was published between 2011 and 2022 were examined in the present systematic review. The main study results showed that the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is recognized as the most widely used mod.....

In this work, electrochemically exfoliated graphene oxide-based photocatalyst was synthesised with the help of single- (sodium dodecyl sulphate; SDS) and triple-chain (sodium 1,4-bis(neopentyloxy)-3-(neopentylcarbonyl)-1,4-dioxobutane-2-sulfonate; TC14) anionic surfactants. The hybrid photocatalyst is a system consisting of surfactant-assisted electrochemically exfoliated graphene oxide (sEGO) and zinc oxide (ZnO). The system was prepared by exfoliating graphite in the presence of surfactant and ZnO, and it was used for the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye. Of these different surfactants, the triple-chain TC14 exhibited 98.53% MB removal, which was significantly higher than the system with SDS surfactant (50.94%) or ZnO alone (42.33%). Observations through field-emission scanning electron microscopy suggested an enhanced exfoliation degree upon increasing the number of surfactant chains. Results from zeta potential measurement also revealed increased system stability along with a hig.....

Sports culture can be defined as a positive value attitude of an individual to sport. These values act for the individual as social ideals, senses, symbols, norms, and samples of behavior that regulate the entire activity and social relations in a sports sphere. The Institute for Youth Research Malaysia (IYRES) initiated to determine the nation's sports culture since 2018. The latest research on the Malaysian Sports Index conducted in 2022, among 3735 respondents from various backgrounds according to age group, gender, ethnicity, and location using a self-designed questionnaire by IYRES with two domains and five indicators. The first domain is participation with activeness as the indicator. The second domain is sporting spirit with four indicators namely Voluntarism, Dedication, Expenditure and Contribution. Each and every indicator contributes towards Malaysian sports culture index based on the Index score scale created by experts from IYRES. The descriptive analysis showed Malaysian .....

English is an important subject for scoring in primary and secondary school exams in Malaysia. However, students are exposed to countless grammatical errors and are affected by the dialect they use in daily communication, especially for students who live in Kelantan. They are used to the use of dialect words in daily conversation. Therefore, they faced difficulties in understanding and translating the words from Bahasa Melayu to English. Furthermore, there is a lack of mobile application dictionaries to help primary school students to translate Kelantan’s dialect into English. The objectives of this research are (i) to analyse the needs and requirements to develop an AR mobile application to translate Kelantan’s dialect into English, (ii) to develop an AR mobile application that can look up the meaning of Kelantan’s dialect in English accurately, (iii) to evaluate the usability of the mobile application in terms of compatibility, consistency, flexibility, and learnability, and (i.....

Various technologies have been used in making teaching and learning sessions more effective, fun, and enjoyable. One of the ways to make teaching and learning interactive is by emphasizing the use of mobile augmented reality (MAR). Thus, this study has proposed using MAR for a chemistry subject, namely science exploration (SCIENEX). This study adopted design and development research (DDR) by employing the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) model. The phases involved in DDR are ADDIE. SCIENEX was evaluated based on its validity, usability, and effectiveness. Five experts validated SCIENEX after it had been completely developed. The samples for usability testing and effectiveness of SCIENEX were 30 secondary school students who were studying chemistry. The results of the evaluation of the experts’ validation revealed that SCIENEX is a valid and appropriate MAR application for the learning of topics in chemistry. The result also revealed that the major.....

With the rapid development of information technology such as big data and learning analytics, intelligent systems, a product of the deep integration of technology and education, have emerged. In this paper, a human-computer interaction teaching system for traditional New Year Painting is proposed based on the learner model. Firstly, the attention mechanism based long and short term memory network is used to mine the emotion from the course review text of learners, and the association rule algorithm and ID3 algorithm are used to initialize and dynamically update the text. Constructing a personalized HCI teaching system with the learner as the center. Based on the smart learning model, the functional modules of the human-computer interaction teaching system are analyzed and designed in detail, including online learning, online testing and educational information. The design of the database of the intelligent teaching system is proposed, and the design process of the database is fully dem.....
