Abstract: This study was conducted to identify the problem of presenting ideas sequentially faced by Form 1 students as well as improving the skills of presenting ideas sequentially through the Peer Teaching approach. This research was conducted using a mixed approach, with quantitative and qualitative data collected from 15 Form 1 students and 3 teachers from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri Sepang, Selangor. Instruments used to collect data include pre-tests, post-activity tests, interviews, and observations. After the initial test, the researcher implemented 4 activities namely Word Treasure Hunt, Snake & Ladder, Picture Connection, Mystery Words and Bingo to improve the oral skills of the students. The results of this study found that the Peer Teaching approach can be used to improve speaking skills. Through this, the skill of presenting ideas sequentially among students is improved.

ABSTRACT: Teaching Competence refers to a set of knowledge, abilities, beliefs teacher possess and bring to the teaching situation. It defined as adequacy for a task of required knowledge skills and abilities. It emphasizes on the ability haw to demonstrate knowledge. In the present scenario we need a competent teachers may sustain and the progression to facing challenges of teaching-learning process. So, with the intention of this, the investigator indents to carry out a research on impact of digital learning on teaching competency among B.Ed. trainees. The data were collected from 182 B.Ed. trainees from private colleges of education in Coimbatore District using Attitude towards Digital Learning scale adopted from Paula Mae Bigatel et. al. (2017). The simple random sampling method was adopted to select the sample. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and one way anova. The study concludes that there is no significant mean score difference in teaching competency between .....

The purpose of this study was to develop a relationship model between parental involvement and the social skills of children with intellectual disabilities (ID) and to examine the role that parenting stress and parental perceived social support play in this relationship. A total of 692 parents of Chinese children with ID were selected as the sample using convenience sampling. The scales utilized in this study were the Social Responsiveness Scale Short Form, Parenting Stress Index-Short Form-15, Parental Involvement Questionnaire, and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. The data were analyzed using SPSS 29.0 and SmartPLS 4.0. The findings revealed that parental involvement had a significant positive effect on social skills (_ = -0.091, p = 0.014) and a significant negative effect on parenting stress (_ = -0.137, p = 0.001). Additionally, parenting stress had a significant negative effect on social skills (_ = -0.546, p = 0.000). A mediation effect of parenting stress was.....

This research, entitled "The Methodology of the Contemporaries in Rejecting Hadith (al-Sahihain as Models), An Analytical - Critical Study " dealt with the methodology of some contemporary researchers and intellectuals in dealing with the noble Bukhari and Sahih Muslim as models for the Prophe - tic hadith, and took Sahih al study. These contemporaries spared no effort in raising doubts and problems about the authenticity of some hadiths and the confirmation of their attribution to the Prophet ___ ____ ____ ____, under the pretext of contradicting the apparent meaning of the Noble Qur'an or contradicting reason, logic, and reality as they see it. This research followed the inductive, analytical, and critical methodologies, so it studied the ideas and views of these skeptical groups and clarifies their general and specific approaches regarding the terminology of hadith. It also reviewed the efforts of the just scholars in responding to and refuting those doubts, demonstrating the weakne.....

The research aim is to create a calixarene-based nanosensor targeting paraaminobenzoic acid (PABA) using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method. The properties of the LB film were assessed. The optical and optomechanical characteristics were examined with ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and optical tweezers (OT). The host-guest binding energy was calculated using DFT method. Calix[4]arene (C4) and calix[8]arene (C8) solutions with concentration of 0.47 mM and 0.23 mM respectively, were prepared and different PABA concentrations (0.01 to 0.71 mM) was used to study the interactions. The thin films were optically analysed at wavelength of 250 to 400 nm. Microclusters with radii of 0.5-1.5 _m were optically trapped at various power density (0.23 to 2.49 MW/cm2). Complex_s binding energy were calculated using optimisation calculation. C4 and C8 monolayers effectively trapped PABA, resulting in 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometry ratios. C8 was significantly more sensitive towards PABA, detecting eve.....

This study aims to develop a STEMDISLEARN module; to test the module's effectiveness on the critical thinking (CT) skills, collaboration skills, and achievement in the Differential Equations (DE) Course; and to test the relationships between CT and collaboration skills, the relationship between CT and achievement, and the relationship between achievement and collaboration. The research employs design development research to develop the module. A quasi-experimental design was used to test the module's effectiveness. The research sample involved 123 students who enrolled in the DE course in the Mathematics Education Program at a university in Surakarta; 64 students of the experimental group, and 59 students of the control group. A t-test was conducted to determine the module's effectiveness on the critical thinking (CT) skills, collaboration skills, and achievement. A Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to test the relationship between CT and collaboration, the relationship betwee.....
