To preserve the heritage and identity of folk songs of Malaysian ethnic groups, it is necessary to include them in educational material using western notation transcriptions. This research continues from the previous study that was completed with the creation of the method book for viola at the beginner level. The current research result is a repertoire book containing transcriptions of folk songs (six Malay, two Chinese and one Indian) for intermediate viola players. Malaysian folk songs are rich in embellishment types and need to be studied by utilising the western ornamentation signs in music scores. The resulting book introduces the common types of ornamentation signs utilised in Malaysian folk song transcriptions and exercises with notated explanations and practice methods. The book is organised following international requirements for the intermediate viola level. Research was carried out using a quantitative approach, and the ADDIE (Analysis; Design; Development; Implementation;.....

To date, considerable research has been devoted to semipolar (11-22) III-N based-light-emitting diodes due to the high demand for the future generation of high indium adsorption materials. However, higher indium content can generate stacking fault defects and partial dislocation that deteriorate the crystal, morphological, and optical quality. This study describes the effect of indium flux and two-dimensional nanoscale strain periodic alternating superlattices on the surface evolution during the growth of semi-polar (11-22) InGaN light-emitting diodes. Semi-polar (11-22) light-emitting diodes were grown on different templates with and without AlN/GaN strain periodic alternating superlattices. A direct correlation between the surface evolution, crystal quality, and optical properties was demonstrated, suggesting higher indium adsorption with increased crystallinity. Moderate indium flux induced lower surface undulation with intensified photoluminescence emission in the green range. Subs.....

Dance pedagogy is a complex and dynamic field of competency that involves various skills and self-appearance. Therefore, dance instructors must widen the scope of their competency to strengthen and improve their level. This research aimed to identify the competency of dance instructors teaching the practical subject of Malay Court Dance based on factors including the components of pedagogy, curriculum, assessment, and professionalism. The data was collected from interviews with the instructors and was analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings indicated that the instructors’ competency level development could be mapped into three dimensions, namely orientation, agent, and competency content. It was concluded that art schools in Malaysia need to develop dance instructors’ competency in terms of (1) 21st-century learning needs, (2) vertical and horizontal knowledge sharing, (3) workshop, study tour, and competition, and (4) standardization of technological development relevant .....

Accuracy estimation is an important issue in time series forecasting field, for example Islamic investment namely sukuk. In order to provide the accuracy estimation of forecasting, the statistical estimator has to be unbiased and has minimum error. In this study, the statistical estimator of moving average model is applied to forecast the sukuk series data. However, the accuracy of this model is questionable and in order to improve the accuracy, this study proposed a hybrid approach using artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm for moving average model. Noted that, the parameter of moving average is selected by considering the AIC, AICc and BIC criterion values, and the selected parameter eventually to be used as input layer of ANN algorithm. In order to examine the forecasting performance, the proposed algorithm used to calculate the 10 days ahead and 15 days ahead forecasting. Based on empirical result, it has shown that, the proposed algorithm helps to reduce the error estimation .....

The main objectives of this research is to design and develop the Solar Energy project module entitled SESTEM. In this 34 pages module, technologies were embedded which there are QRCodes and links of videos that were mainly made for this module by the research assistant. This research is design based on ADDIE model (analyse, design, development, implementation and evaluation. Firstly, we analyse the requirements and criteria for developing the hands-on activity related to solar project. Next, designing the hands-on STEM-based and in the same time develop the module consist of several projects. Furthermore, we developed a set of questionaire survey using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) method in order to evaluate the students’ perception of the complete Solar Energy STEM module...

Di Malaysia, instrumen pengesanan awal disleksia kurang dititiberatkan untuk kanakkanak prasekolah. Maka, kajian ini dijalankan bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti kompetensi guru prasekolah dan ibu bapa dari segi aspek pengetahuan, kemahiran dan sikap terhadap pengesanan awal disleksia dalam kalangan kanak-kanak prasekolah. Terdapat dua objektif yang dirangka antaranya objektif pertama dibuat untuk mengenalpasti masalah pengesanan awal disleksia bagi kanak-kanak prasekolah dari pandangan guru prasekolah dan ibu bapa. Oleh itu, Kajian Literatur Sistematik (SLR) digunakan sebagai reka bentuk kajian. Sebanyak 29 artikel dipilih dari Scopus, Springer, Sage Publications dari tahun 2015 hingga 2020. Daripada 29 artikel hanya 6 artikel dipilih melalui teknik PRISMA untuk menjawab persoalan pertama. Manakala objektif kedua adalah bagi mengenalpasti kompetensi guru prasekolah dan ibu bapa dari aspek pengetahuan, kemahiran serta sikap terhadap pengesanan awal disleksia bagi kanak-kanak p.....
