The implementation and development of the Common European Framework of References (CEFR) have received recognition and enthusiasm in language learning globally. The purpose of the present study, therefore, is to investigate the effectiveness of the implementation of CEFR reference of language in other countries generally as well as in the Malaysian secondary schools specifically. The evaluation of Malaysian teachers’ perceptions toward the implementation of CEFR is substantially important to carry out the significant problems of implementing the framework. A systematic literature review was done to several research studies in Asian and especially Malaysia to achieve the fundamental research objectives. Despite the several challenges faced by English Second Language (ESL) teachers in implementing the framework. Therefore, it was found that CEFR has potentially improved in the language learning context.  ..

The link between Civic Education and Social Studies is a unique one, the Social Studies curriculum consists of citizenship and societal values, which are also related to Civic Education. This makes the two subjects to be seen as a strong and effective tool to facilitate the production of responsible citizens.

This study investigated the impact of student response system (SRS) on students’ engagement in English language proficiency classrooms. It compared patterns of engagement exhibited by students’ physical behaviours during language classroom activities in two different settings – with and without the use of SRS. This qualitative study gathered data through classroom observations using field notes and observational checklist. All the data were analysed qualitatively using thematic analysis approach. Altogether, three lessons utilizing SRS and three lesson without the utilization of SRS were observed and analysed. The findings showed that students’ behaviours during lessons with SRS indicated positive engagement in the classrooms unlike their behaviours during lessons without SRS. The results of this study implied that SRS could be a preferred choice of interactive, educational tools that could help educators to engage their students during the process of language teaching and lear.....

Penyelidikan ini bertujuan mengkaji Kesatuan Organik iaitu subjek, bentuk dan makna karya berasaskan seni cetak oleh artis-artis seni rupa kontemporari Malaysia. Perkara ini bagi menjelaskan hubungan subjek, bentuk dan makna terhadap tindakan di luar batas disiplin konvensional seni cetak. Peranan media dan teknik seni cetak yang dianggap kurang penting dalam membentuk seni kontemporari abad ke-21 di Malaysia adalah isu utama kajian. Teori bentuk dan makna melalui model Kesatuan Organik dijadikan rujukan dalam membentuk kerangka konseptual. Kajian Kes dan Analisis Kandungan digunakan sebagai kaedah reka bentuk penyelidikan menerusi pendekatan kualitatif. Kajian Kes Pelbagai digunakan dalam pengumpulan data kerana artis-artis kontemporari mempunyai perbezaan latarbelakang dan penghasilan karya. Lima orang artis dipilih melalui kaedah pensampelan bertujuan, mudah dan pertimbangan. Data diperolehi menerusi teknik penelitian dokumen, pemerhatian visual dan temubual sebagai strategi triangu.....

Generasi Z adalah generasi digital yang mula didedahkan dengan internet dan mengikuti perkembangan teknologi sejak zaman kanak-kanak. Ianya memberi kesan kepada tingkah laku mereka terhadap persekitaran semula jadi. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji perubahan tingkahlaku Generasi Z terhadap persekitaran semula jadi melalui Immersive Virtual Nature (IVN). Dengan peserta kajian seramai sebelas orang, kaedah kajian kualitatif secara temu bual separa berstruktur telah digunakan dalam penyelidikan ini. Kajian ini mendapati tingkah laku Generasi Z terhadap persekitaran semula jadi mempunyai keterbatasan bergantung kepada persekitaran tempat tinggal, aksesibiliti, darjah ketersampaian, ketakutan terhadap ruang asing dan ketagihan terhadap dunia maya. Mereka cenderung terhadap persekitaran maya kerana terdedah dengan teknologi maya dari peringkat awal dan dipengaruhi oleh faktor peredaran zaman. Oleh itu, setelah IVN digunakan, peserta kajian mendapat pengalaman yang imersif, meny.....

This study aimed to investigate what teachers thought about integrating the teaching of HOTS in their ESL Reading lessons and the pedagogical strategies they used. It also intended to find out if their beliefs, assumptions and knowledge of HOTS influenced their pedagogical practices. The research used qualitative data gathering methods, namely interviews and classroom observations. 3 teachers were chosen as participants via purposeful sampling. 5 classroom observations were done for each participant. They were also interviewed before the first classroom observation and after the last classroom observation. The findings revealed that teachers pedagogical practices were influenced by their beliefs, assumptions and knowledge of HOTS. Hence, the degree of integrating HOTS via their lessons varied from one teacher to another. It was also found that teachers were confident of their content knowledge of HOTS. However, they were not sure of how to integrate it in the lessons. Theref.....

This study was intended to construct a new Escherichia coli-Pseudomonas shuttle vector for overexpression of elastase strain K in both E. coli and Pseudomonas as well as for rapid purification using new RTX-tag. A 6.5 kb novel shuttle vector, designated as pSIT/RTX, was constructed from pCon2(3) as to improvise the expression of pCon2(3). pSIT/RTX was employed with tightly regulated promoter PT7(A1/O4/O3) for controlling gene expression, stabilizing fragment (SF) for replication and maintenance of plasmid in E. coli and P. aeruginosa, attB gene for genome integration, elastase strain K as passenger enzyme and RTX-tag which is located at C-terminal for rapid purification. E. coli TOP10/pSIT/RTX was chosen to proceed with purification as the highest amount of proteolytic activity was detected at 12 h after incooperation with 0.6 mM IPTG (Isopropyl β- d-1-thiogalactopyranoside). Elastase strain K-RTX fusion protein was purified using Ca2+ as novel ligand in immobilized-metal a.....
