Digital games and virtual reality (VR) technologies are promising interactive learning tools for fostering computational thinking (CT) skills. However, robust and systematic frameworks for designing and implementing game-based learning experiences within VR environments are lacking, particularly for the development of CT skills. The research objectives are to: 1) develop an immersive virtual reality game-based learning (IVR GBL) framework to foster CT skills, 2) integrate the framework into a VR game, and 3) validate its usability and effectiveness in the context of the CT skills development. The framework was applied in the development of a VR game entitled _CT Saber_, designed to facilitate CT learning. The study employed a Design and development research (DDR) methodology, encompassing systematic literature analysis, expert reviews, and a quasi-experimental design. Nine experts in educational technology (digital games and VR) and CT validated the framework. The study involved 107 un.....

Augmented reality (AR) applications are increasingly gaining attention in education due to its ability to create interactive and engaging learning. However, there are limited studies on their effect towards motivation and achievement in STEM learning among Orang Asli students. As such, this study aims to: i) identify the effects of using AR applications to assess the level of motivation among Orang Asli students in STEM learning; ii) establish the effects of using AR applications on the achievement level of Orang Asli students in STEM learning; and iii) measure the strength of the correlation between motivation and achievement in STEM learning among Orang Asli students when using AR applications. A total of thirty (30) Form 1 Orang Asli students from a school in Perak. This study employed a quasi-experimental design involving control and treatment groups, where the data were collected through pretest and posttest, as well as from questionnaires based on the Attention, Relevance, Confid.....

This study examined the effectiveness of using Virtual Reality (VR) Headset Gear to reduce anxiety among male Sabah MSSM tennis players during the execution of a kick serve. A quasi-experimental design was utilized, comprising three phases: needs analysis with 26 coaches, validation by 10 experts, and an assessment of 40 male MSSM tennis players, 14 and 17 years old. The research instruments included the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2R (CSAI-2R) for measuring anxiety levels, the Sports Imagery Ability Measure (SIAM-M) for assessing mental imagery related to the kick serve, and the Relaxation State Questionnaire (RSQ) to evaluate relaxation levels. Results from the needs analysis indicated that 63.34% of the coaches agreed or strongly agreed on the potential benefits of VR in enhancing the training environment, with a mean score of 3.63 (SD = 1.22). Expert validation of the VR-based Psychological Mental Training Assessment demonstrated high reliability, achieving an overall mean .....

In disruptive need to create healthy workplace in organization, in other side, 98% employee experienced workplace incivility. Most of experienced workplace incivility instrument is developed and validated in English, and has not been much studied about experience workplace incivility instrument adapted from English to Indonesia. Hence, the research aims to cross-culturally adapt the Workplace Incivility Scale. The process of the translation and culture adaption is referred to the guidelines for the cross cultural adaptation process, as suggested by Beaton, consisting of 6 stages. The first stage is forward translation, second stage is synthesis, third stage is back translation, the fourth stage is expert committee review, the fifth stage is pilot-test, and sixth stage is submission and appraisal of all written reports by developer_s/committee. Translation is conducted using two independent translators, two language native translators, expert committee review that consisted of four expe.....

This study aims to analyze the need for developing PISA type problems in change and relationship content designed to assess mathematical representation abilities. This research is a type of development research by adapting the Tessmer development model. This research was conducted in two stages, namely the preliminary stage, namely preparation and design, then the formative evaluation phase which included self evaluation, prototyping, small group, and field tests. This research is limited to the prototyping stage. The subjects of this study were SMK Diponegoro Depok students, Indonesia. The instrument of data collection consists of observation guidelines, interview guidelines, documentation sheets, and questionnaires. Data was analyzed by qualitative and quantitative techniques. The results showed that the design of the PISA type that had been developed was declared valid, so that it could be expanded at the stage of developing small groups and field tests. Thus, the design of the PISA.....

This study investigated the impact of perfectionism and self-esteem on burnout with job satisfaction as mediating variable, among Omani teachers in basic education schools in the Governorate of Muscat. A descriptive-analytical approach was employed, and data were collected through a questionnaire administered to a simple random sample of 572 participants. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, as well as structural modeling, were conducted using AMOS software. The results demonstrated that the employed measures of the variables exhibited satisfactory factorial structures and psychometric properties. The findings revealed a statistically significant positive _=0.05 impact for perfectionism and self-esteem on burnout within the study sample, both independently and collectively, with job satisfaction acting as a mediator. No statistically significant differences were observed in self-esteem dimensions based on gender, years of experience, and marital status. Similarly, no significa.....
