This study examines how end-of-course surveys administered at the same institution in two modalities (online and in-class) differ. In particular, substantive responses to qualitative questions appeared systematically less substantive than those administered in class. However, students did respond to qualitative questions at a higher rate, even though these responses were, on average, less substantive. It also appears that survey response was far less consistent with one another in the online modality than the traditional, in-class modality. On the other hand, there is very little convincing evidence that shifting to online end-of-course surveys leads to more positive or negative responses. Keywords end-of-course surveys, assessment, online learning, modality shifts, institutional assessment _..

The study was carried out to evaluate the performance of undergraduate students in Test and Measurement Achievement test with samples from probabilistic and non-probabilistic sampling procedures. Three research questions and one hypothesis guided the study. A sample of 200 students (100 from proportionate stratified random representing probabilistic and 100 from purposive representing non-probabilistic). Test and Measurement Achievement test was the instrument used for the study. It has face and content validities. It has a reliability coefficient of 0.79 obtained through Kuder-Richardson formula 20. The data collected with the instrument were analysed in line with the research questions and hypothesis. Mean was used to answer the research questions while Z-test was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that the undergraduate students who were selected through the probabilistic sampling procedure performed better than sample of students from the .....

Objektif kajian ini ialah untuk mengenal pasti peranan interaksionisme simbolik terhadap interaksi silang budaya berdasarkan empat elemen makna simbolik iaitu objek, bahasa, perkataan dan perlakuan manakala masalah akulturasi juga diteliti oleh penyelidik terhadap pelajar antarabangsa di UPSI. Reka bentuk penyelidikan kualitatif dipilih berdasarkan kajian kes yang berlaku di lokasi kajian. Pungutan data pula menggunakan kaedah triangulasi data untuk mengumpulkan data kajian seperti temu bual, analisis dokumen dan senarai semak. Seramai 10 orang pelajar antarabangsa dipilih menjadi informan menggunakan teknik pensampelan bertujuan dan teknik pensampelan snowball. Dapatan kajian mendapati empat elemen dalam makna simbolik iaitu objek, bahasa, perlakuan dan perkataan memainkan peranan yang sangat penting dalam interaksi silang budaya. Penggunaan bahasa pula membawa peranan paling utama dalam interaksionisme simbolik. Manakala makna simbolik juga diadaptasikan melalui cara pemikiran indivi.....

This study aims to design and develop a preschool integrated-thematic-instruction STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) module to enhance teachers' skills. The Design and Development Research (DDR) approach was employed in this study, which consisted of three phases. The first phase analysed the need for developing the STREAM module for preschool. A survey method was conducted involving 40 early childhood educators and 40 pre-service early childhood educators as respondents. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis. The findings from the needs analysis revealed that the development of the STREAM ITIPreschool module is necessary to enhance teachers' skills in STREAM ITI-Preschool education. The second phase focused on designing and developing the STREAM ITIPreschool module, which involved consensus among ten experts on the module's main components through two rounds. Thematic analysis was conducted in the first round, where emerging themes includ.....

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneroka pengajaran Fiqh al -Ayat dalam Kurikulum Bersepadu Tahfiz (KBT) di Sekolah Menengah Imtiaz Terengganu. Fiqh al -Ayat merupakan komponen penting dalam pendidikan tahfiz yang menekankan kefahaman terhadap ayat -ayat al-Quran, namun pelaksanaannya dilihat kurang diberi perhatian berbanding hafazan. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan kaedah temu bual separa berstruktur, pengamatan dan analisis dokumen. Seramai lapan orang guru dari empat buah sekolah SM Imtiaz d i Terengganu telah menjadi informan kajian. Hasil dapatan menunjukkan bahawa guru menggunakan pelbagai kaedah seperti syarahan, penceritaan, soal jawab dan dialog. Pendekatan deduktif dan tematik adalah paling dominan, disesuaikan mengikut konteks ayat dan tahap penguasaan pelajar. Strategi berpusatkan guru lebih kerap digunakan kerana ketiadaan silibus khusus dan keperluan memastikan penyampaian yang seragam. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat usaha berpusatkan pelajar melalui aktivit.....

The study was conducted to analyse the effect of a robotic program to primary school children. In order to succeed in a world increasingly dependent on technology, computational thinking is important. Computational thinking is considered as an important skill for students in 21-st learning century. Computational thinking provides basic knowledge in the design of generalization problem; decomposition, data representation, generalization, modeling, and algorithm. Educational robotics associated much with computational thinking and the subject of computer science through programming module has been emphasized by the education ministry recently and was introduced formally in the primary school curriculum, which focuses on solving technological problems. The instrument used to measure the technological problem solving is Technological Problem Solving Inventory (PSI-TECH). Quasi-experiments was implemented in this study, involved experimental group and control group which were equal in selec.....

Mathematical thinking is an act of sense-making and rest on the processes of generalizing, specializing, convincing and conjecturing. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of mathematical thinking students in primary schools and whether there is any difference in the level of mathematical thinking of students from different types of school. The data was collected from 516 Year 4 students which are from 7 primary schools in the state of Terengganu, Johor, Kedah and Federal Territory. Data were collected using a paper-and-pencil test that were directly administered to the sample. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Statistical software was used to compute the means (M) and corresponding standard deviations (sd). T-tests were also conducted to determine if there are any significant difference in the levels of mathematical thinking of the students according to the different types of schools. The descriptive analysis of the study revealed that .....

This  study  examines whether  the  effect  of  oil  rent  on  economic  growth  in Nigeria  depends on the levels of corruption and the size of the underground economy (UE) over  the period 1990-2022. Relying on the Sachs-Warner resource‑curse theory, it employs the  autoregressive  distributed  lag  (ARDL)  approach,  as  well  as  the  fully  modified  ordinary  least  squares  (FMOLS),  canonical  cointegration  regression  (CCR),  and  dynamic OLS (DOLS) estimators. The estimation results show that oil rent contributes  positively to both short- and long-term growth, whereas reductions in corruption and  an expanding UE exert immediate and sustained negative effects on growth. Moreover,  the study  reveals  that  the impact  of  oil  rent  on growth varies  with  both  the  level  of  corruption and the size of the UE. Specifically, the marginal effect of oil rent on growth  is positive when corruption is low or the UE.....
