The growth of women’s participation in the labour force raises the number of childcare centres that compete relentlessly. To remain competitive, childcare centres need to systematically assess childcare risks because a safe and healthy environment is vital in parents’ childcare choices. Therefore, this study attempts to develop a risk assessment matrix for childcare services through a modified Delphi technique that combines two Delphi rounds with a focus group discussion. Twenty experts participated in the first round of Delphi and eighteen continued to answers the second round of Delphi. Focus group were held with six experts as a replacement of third round of Delphi. Twentytwo childcare risks were assessed, and experts agreed that choking and drowning were the most critical risks in terms of risk severity. Conversely, runny nose, flu and cough, and lice infection had insignificant risk severity. For risk likelihood, experts agreed that runny nose, flu and cough, skin c.....

This study was aimed to formulate m-learning framework for generation Z as a guideline to improve the teaching and learning process among generation Z learners,who was born in the year 1995 – 2012, also known as “Digital Natives”, “Me Generation”, and “Generation N”. This generation is the first generation to be born and grown with ready-to-use technology and a high-tech environment that differentiate their outlook from the previous generations. Although several researchers demonstrate the m-learning frameworks for teaching and learning, there is a limitation in the user interface (UI) design in the frameworks that suitable for the generation Z. To conduct this research study, Design and Development Research (DDR) method is used to identify the elements of generation Z characteristics, user interface (UI) design, and the m-learning instructional design (ID), formulate and evaluate the m- learning framework for generation Z. The instrument used in this research study is li.....

This study determines the effectiveness of digital learning materials on students’ academic achievement and motivation in the topic Geometry. The research design is quasi-experimental. A sample of 60 participants out of 200 target populations were carefully chosen using cluster probability sampling. A threeweek intervention was carried out. The instruments used are a set of pre-test and post-test on the topic Geometry. The motivation survey that was given to the treatment group only. A descriptive analysis was used to describe students’ achievement on the geometry topic, while an independent t-test was used to determine the differences between the two teaching strategies the digital learning and the conventional learning. The survey was designed to measure the extent of students' motivation after using the developed digital learning materials and also analyzed through descriptive statistics. Meanwhile the correlation coefficient is revealing the relationship between dig.....

This research aims to develop a valid and reliable Self-Directed PBL module using the adapted recommendations found in the models provided by Problem-Based Learning Network (PBLN) at Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) and the instructional design model for ill-structured problem-solving by D. H. Jonassen. These design concepts were combined to meet the module development model proposed by Sidek’s Model. Biology educator’s perception towards the Self- Directed PBL module’s learning guide, facilitator guide, problem scenario assessment, self-directed learning planning assessment and learning activity were investigated using quantitative approaches. A total of 44 educators were selected using random sampling from a population of 50 in one of the Perak districts. The validity and reliability of the module were measured using percentage of expert agreement and Cronbach’s Alpha respectively. A set of questionnaire was adapted and used to investigate the biolog.....

Chromolaena odorata has reported to have medicinal value due to the presence of active compounds which have antimicrobial and wound healing properties. Therefore, this study was carried out to formulate the antimicrobial cream from C. odorata extract used for wound healing treatment. The study aims to screen the secondary metabolites and determine C. odorata extract concentration for antimicrobial activity to be used in cream formulation. The leaves were extracted in 95% methanol and 95% ethanol for secondary metabolite screening and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Chromolaena odorata extract with a concentration of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% was performed for antimicrobial activity tested on Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans. The best of C. odorata extract concentration was used in six formulations of antimicrobial cream. The stability test was performed on all cream formulations. The methanolic extract .....

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti tahap persepsi guru dalam kesediaan guru untuk melaksanakan pendidikan abad ke-21 (PAK21). Tahap kesediaan guru melaksanakan pendidikan abad ke-21 dilihat berdasarkan aspek pengetahuan guru tentang pembelajaran pendidikan abad ke-21, kemahiran menggunakan sistem pengurusan pembelajaran Google Classroom dan sokongan pentadbir. Instrumen soal selidik dipilih sebagai medium untuk menjalankan kajian kuantitatif ini. Dalam kajian ini seramai 330 orang guru sekolah rendah dari daerah Barat Daya, Pulau Pinang telah dipilih secara rawak sebagai sampel kajian ini. Berdasarkan keputusan kajian, didapati bahawa majoriti guru berpendapat bahawa mereka mempunyai pengetahuan yang tinggi tentang PAK21(M=3.71, sp=0.464), kemahiran guru menggunakan sistem pengurusan pembelajaran Google Classroom adalah tahap sederhana (M=2.88, sp=0.704). Bagi tahap sokongan pentadbir, guru bersetuju mereka mempunyai sokongan dari pentadbir (M=3.86, sp=0.562). Selain.....
