Analisis penerapan nilai universal Ceyyul melalui buku teks Bahasa Tamil sekolah menengah

Puvaneswari Malayandy

Abstract

Kajian ini bertujuan menganalisis penerapan nilai universal melalui komponen Ceyyul dalam buku teks Bahasa Tamil sekolah menengah di Malaysia dengan menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan. Nilai universal seperti hormat, tanggungjawab, kejujuran, empati dan kerjasama merupakan asas penting dalam pembentukan sahsiah pelajar, selaras dengan aspirasi Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan serta Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Menengah (KSSM). Walaupun Ceyyul telah dimasukkan sebagai komponen sastera dalam buku teks, keberkesanan penerapan nilai masih dipersoalkan kerana pengajaran sering menekankan aspek kefahaman literal berbanding penghayatan moral yang tersirat. Melalui analisis kandungan, kajian ini mengenal pasti nilai universal yang terkandung dalam Ceyyul serta meneliti bentuk penerapannya dalam buku teks Bahasa Tamil. Kaedah ini membolehkan penyelidikan dilakukan secara sistematik dengan meneliti teks, mesej moral, imejan alam dan simbolisme yang digunakan dalam puisi klasik Tamil. Analisis kan.....

The role of emotional intelligence as a mediator in the relationship between psychological well-being and professional adjustment for primary school female teachers in the Sultanate of Oman

Al Ubaidan, Kother Shaban Ibrahem

Abstract

The current study aimed to verify the model fits of the assumed structural model of the relationship between the dimensions of psychological well-being and emotional intelligence and its role as a mediator in achieving professional compatibility among primary school female teachers in the Sultanate of Oman. The study included the psychological well-being scale, the emotional intelligence scale, and the professional compatibility scale. The scales were adapted and evaluated by experts in education according to the current study's circumstances and nature. The study sample consisted of 450 primary school female teachers in the Sultanate of Oman. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 24) and the AMOS Software, version 24 program were used to ensure the quality of the study model; specifically, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to answer the research questions. The study results: There is a relationship between the dimensions of psychological well-being and emotion.....

Pendekatan literature circle dalam penulisan cerita Bahasa Tamil murid tingkatan 1

Vimona Rengganathan

Abstract

Kajian ini dijalankan untuk menilai keberkesanan pendekatan Literature Circle (LC) dalam meningkatkan kemahiran menulis karangan bercerita Bahasa Tamil dalam kalangan murid menengah. Pendekatan LC diterapkan sebagai strategi pedagogi berpusatkan murid bagi menggalakkan pemikiran kreatif, interaksi aktif dan kolaboratif, serta penguasaan elemen naratif secara sistematik. Kajian ini melibatkan dua kumpulan iaitu Kumpulan Kawalan dan Kumpulan Rawatan. Ujian Pra dan Ujian Pasca digunakan untuk menilai perubahan pencapaian murid, manakala pemerhatian dan temu bual dijalankan untuk mendapatkan data kualitatif mengenai penglibatan serta minat murid terhadap pendekatan LC. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa Kumpulan Rawatan mencatatkan peningkatan yang signifikan dalam aspek kreativiti, penguasaan struktur karangan, dan kejelasan idea berbanding Kumpulan Kawalan. Tahap penglibatan murid juga meningkat secara ketara apabila pendekatan LC digunakan, dengan majoriti murid menunjukkan minat tinggi .....

Utilization of differentiated learning modules with blended and scaffold-based instruction in Mathematics education

Santillan, Jesus Parena

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the developed intervention-learning materials (Phase 1) that support distance teaching and learning in the Philippines. Specifically, the study focused on the utilization (Phase 2) of the developed Differentiated Math Learning Materials (DMLMs) to enhance academic performance and achievements in Mathematics 8: Linear Inequalities in Two Variables. The study employed a mixed-method approach and utilized the DMLMs on grade-8 students of a far-flung secondary school in the Department of Education in the Philippines. The results indicate a significant positive impact on the academic performance and achievements of students in the least mastered contents of Mathematics 8. The intervention learning materials designed for slow-paced and average-paced learners were found to be effective during the implementation of blended and remote learning education. The study's contribution to the field of distance learning education highlights the importance of developing and .....

Usability of WebMath-Kit as an educational platform for the topic Network in Graph Theory among grade 11 pupils in South Malaysia

Annie Gorgey

Abstract

The primary aim of WebMath-Kit is to address the challenges pupils face in understanding complex mathematical concepts by providing interactive, engaging, and visually appealing learning materials for the topic Network in Graph Theory. The platform includes components such as a learning kit, assessments, and a chatbot to facilitate comprehensive learning experiences. To evaluate its usability and effectiveness, a sample consists of 39 Grade 11 pupils were chosen in one of the high schools located in South Malaysia. Results indicated high reliability and validity, with Cronbach's Alpha _= 0.95 demonstrating strong internal consistency. About 92% strongly agree that usability of the WebMath-Kit as a teaching and learning platform and the average mean score across all items is 3.926, with an average standard deviation of 0.176. Usability assessments revealed that pupils found the platform user-friendly, engaging, and helpful in enhancing their understanding of Network in Graph Theory. The.....

Mathematics achievement: examining the interplay of student factors in senior secondary school

Asanre, Akorede Ayoola

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between student traits (attitude, interest and self-efficacy) and Mathematics achievement in senior secondary schools in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria. Three hypotheses guided the study. A quantitative approach was used while the research design employed was the descriptive survey. A sample size of 350 students was randomly selected. Two research instruments were used, yielding the reliability coefficient of 0.883 for Students_ Attitude, Interest and Self-Efficacy Scale (SAISS) and 0.861 for Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT). Percentage and Analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the data. Results showed a substantial relationship between student factors and senior secondary school mathematics achievement with the following results (F = 26.746, p..

Hydrometallurgical Synthesis of pure zincite (ZnO) powder from dead zinc carbon batteries for use in the manufacturing of antimicrobial products

Ayinla, Kuranga Ibrahim

Abstract

The conversion of waste materials in our environment into useable chemical products is a popular issue these days. Here, we report on the production of zincite powder using a very simple hydrometallurgical method. Within two hours, 92.23% of the original 10 g/L SZCB reacted at ideal leaching conditions (2.5 mol/L HCl, 80_C). The result predicted the diffusion model as rate determining step, with calculated Ea of 28.53 kJ/mol. The precipitated hydroxide was calcined to produce pure zincite powder of yield 85.2%. Analyses using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the high purity ZnO existed as a flower-like spherical aggregation and antimicrobial testing was later carried out to be reported in part B of the research. Keywords: Hydrometallurgy, Kinetics, Metallurgy, Powder Technology, X-ray, Zincite..

Examining the thermal dynamics of coffee cups: evaluating the impact of cup material on thermal characteristics via numerical simulations

Emmanuel, Sabastine

Abstract

This work examines the thermal diffusivity properties of four different materials, ceramic, stainless steel, plastic, and glass, using the one-dimensional heat equation's Initial Boundary Value Problem (IBVP) framework. We investigate the transient thermal behaviour of these materials using numerical techniques like the Crank-Nicolson method and the explicit FTCS (Forward-Time Central-Space) method. We perform simulations and analyse heat transfer dynamics and temperature distributions using Python implementations with uniform step sizes. According to our research, there are notable differences in the thermal diffusivity performance of the materials, with stainless steel showing better conductive qualities. Furthermore, a look at the midpoint temperature profiles of the cups provides information on the thermal and temporal dynamics. A comparison of the Crank-Nicolson and FTCS approaches shows how effective the latter is in producing precise and stable solutions. The study contributes t.....
