The industrial revolution is now in great need of more skilful programmers with problem-solving skills. However, the learning process for programming is very challenging due to its complexity and limited educational application that covers both problem-solving and programming environments. This study aims to develop an introductory Integrated Development Environment (IDE) application (C-SOLVIS) and evaluate its usability. It integrates both environments for problem-solving and program development for the C language. The purpose is to guide the users in problem-solving and help in writing a C program. This study used a mix-method approach, in which qualitative methods were conducted during the requirement planning phase through a literature review supported by semi-structured interviews, document reviews, and content validation by seven expert programming lecturers. Meanwhile, a quantitative method to evaluate the application's usability among the same lecturers was conducted.....

This study aimed to assess the key determinants of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) (i.e., sustainable supplier management (SSM), sustainable operation management (SOM), and sustainable customer management (SCM) and examined their impact on sustainable performance (SP) (i.e., economic performance (ECP), social performance (SCP), and environmental performance (ENP)). Furthermore, this study investigated the mediating effect of sustainability governance (SSG) between SSCM and SP. A purposive sampling was used in this cross-sectional study through an online survey among managers of ISO 14001-certified Malaysian manufacturing organizations using an online questionnaire. Following a pilot test, an online survey was used to obtain 348 survey responses. After the data screening, only 328 responses were retained for analysis. The obtained data were analysed by employing PLS-SEM approach using SmartPLS 3.3.2 software. Results revealed that ECP (R2=0.540), SCP (R2=0.597), an.....

This research aimed to optimising the properties of surfactant-exfoliated graphene oxide (sEGO) as adsorbent and photocatalyst for methylene blue (MB) removal in aqueous solution. Modification of surfactants were made by increasing chain branching and exchanged in counter-ion with aromatic groups namely 1-butyl-3- methyl-imidazolium (BMIM) and anilinium. The role of these modified surfactants were compared to commercial surfactants. The mechanism in the stabilisation of sEGO, sEGO incorporated with nanofibrillated kenaf cellulose (NFC) and sEGO fabricated with titanium dioxide (TiO2) were systematically compared. Modified surfactants have been studied via proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy, air – water (a/w) surface tension measurement, zeta potential measurement and dynamic light scattering. The morphology of the synthesised adsorbents and photocatalytic materials were observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Raman spectroscop.....

Tujuan utama kajian ini ialah untuk mengenal pasti pengaruh dan hubungan antara kepimpinan distributif (KD), Komuniti Pembelajaran Profesional (KPP) dan efikasi kendiri guru (EKG) di sekolah kebangsaan negeri Selangor. Kajian ini juga bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti KPP sebagai mediator terhadap hubungan antara KD dan EKG. Kajian berbentuk kuantitatif ini menggunakan 459 responden yang dipilih di sekolah kebangsaan negeri Selangor untuk menjawab soal selidik secara talian. Data kajian dianalisis menggunakan AMOS Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) versi 24.0. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan tahap bagi kepimpinan distributif, Komuniti Pembelajaran Profesional dan efikasi kendiri guru berada pada tahap tinggi. Model KD disahkan dengan tujuh faktor iaitu organisasi sekolah, visi sekolah, budaya sekolah, program instruksional, artifak, kepimpinan guru dan kepimpinan guru besar. Bagi Model KPP sebanyak lima faktor dapat dimuatkan iaitu perkongsian sokongan kepimpinan, perkongsian nilai.....

Fokus kajian adalah bagi membangunkan platform sumber kerumunan, krumun.org di mana guru adalah khalayaknya. Namun, kejayaan platform yang dibangunkan bergantung kepada penerimaan dan hasrat penggunaan berterusan oleh khalayak. Maka, satu model yang menggabungkan faktor-faktor UTAUT dan ECM dibina bagi mengkaji penerimaan dan penggunaan berterusan platform krumun.org yang dikenali sebagai model Acceptance-Continuance Use (ACU). Analisis kajian merangkumi (i) analisis deskriptif yang menggunakan IBM SPSS 25, (ii) analisis inferens bagi menguji lapan hipotesis dan analisis prediktif menggunakan SmartPLS 3.3.9 bagi pembentukan model pengukuran dan (iii) model struktural serta prosedur penilaian keupayaan meramal PLSpredict. Analisis dilakukan ke atas 194 khalayak platform krumun.org. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan positif di antara konstruk-konstruk yang dikaji iaitu: (i) BI dengan UB memperoleh r2=0.218; (ii) PE, EE dan FC dengan BI memperoleh r2 0.627; (iii) SA.....

This study aims to develop and validate the game-based problem-solving framework to develop innovation capability among undergraduate students. This study focuses in the use of digital game-based learning (DGBL) approach to learn soft skills required for developing product innovation capacity. This study consists of two phases. The first phase involves exploratory study to develop the conceptual framework. In the second phase, a quasi-experimental design was used in this study. A total of 106 undergraduate students were chosen from two universities as studied subjects to participate in a onegroup pre and post-test study. There are three instruments developed in this study that were soft skills game “Inventors of Future” (IoF), a game-based training module and an achievement test. Wilcoxon Signed Rank test showed significant difference between two groups on pre-test and post-test scores of overall soft skills (p < .001), problem solving (p < .001), creative thinking (p < .....

This study aims to alleviate the low performance of writing proficiency by examining the effectiveness of implementing self and peer assessment (SPA) approach in the Collaborative-Student Takes Assessment Responsibility (Co-STAR) writing module of the Year 5 low achiever learners (LALs). This study focuses on self and peer reviewing as part of the writing process and as a pedagogical strategy that can help students develop their writing and self-regulation learning skills. It was conducted through mixed-methods based on Sidek’s Model which consists of two phases. In the first phase, need analysis results showed 83.3% of 46 teachers in Gombak District agreed that the SPA approach help to develop LALs’ writing skills and build up their confidence in assessing their own writing. The second phase involved the item verification process based on the agreement of seven experts using the Content Validity Index (CVI). A total of five constructs consisting of 20 items received exp.....

The real-time Sign Language Recognition Systems (SLRSs) have been developed recently to assist the deaf and dumb community in translating hand gestures to their spoken language equivalents. However, the multidimensional evaluation and benchmarking of these systems considered a Multi-attribute Decision-Making (MADM) problem due to the presence of several issues, including multiple evaluation criteria, multi ortance, and criteria confliction. In this study, a new extension of the Fuzzy Decision by Opinion Score Method (FDOSM) for evaluating and benchmarking SLRSs is developed under a Pythagorean Fuzzy Set (PFS). Fundamentally, the methodology divided into 4 phases. The first phase is the preliminary study, while the construction of the decision matrix is the second phase, then the third phase is the formulation of the proposed methods, and the fourth phase is the results evaluation. Results indicate the following: (1) individual benchmarking results of real-time SLRS showed h.....
