Does conformity occur during students' decision making for their careers?

Putri Fathia Fadilla

Abstract

Students between ages 13 to 18 years old are exposed to have career development assignments of life focused on the education field such as choosing majors or career fields. Students see career decision making is always accompanied by feelings of doubt, uncertainty, and even stress. In the end, students make their choice on careers by just following the decisions of their peers, which is not necessarily the right decision for them. Their decision taken can lead to career success. The purpose of this study to determine the effect of the conformity of students' decision making for their careers. The quantitative research methods are used where the samples are 136 students of class XII. Data are obtained from the Likert scale instrument and analyzed using regression analysis. The result shows there is influence between conformity and students_ decision making for their career. The findings of the research are the categorization score of conformity is in high category with 60.29%, while the.....

Assessing the validity and reliability of Creative Thinking Skills Module in a pilot study on engineering undergraduate in Malaysia

Yaw, Long Chua

Abstract

This research paper presents the outcome of a research conducted to assess and determine the Validity and Reliability coefficient of Creative Thinking Skills for Conceptual Engineering Design Module administered to engineering undergraduates at a private institution of higher learning. The Creative Thinking Skills Module features few proposed creative thinking tools such as Brain Sketching, Mind Maps and Morphological Analysis. The validity consists of module content validity, and session and activity validity, evaluated by a group of five experts. The Cronbach Alpha value was determined through conducting a pilot study in a local private university where mechanical engineering undergraduate underwent the module workshop and activity. Questionnaires were given to respective experts and students respondents to measure the validity and reliability level of the module, sessions and activities. Keywords: Validity, Reliability, Cronbach Alpha, Creativity, Torrance Test of Creative Thinking.....

Application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in estimating the contributing factors to satisfaction of TASKA services in East Coast Malaysia

Azrul Fazwan Kharuddin

Abstract

This research shows the application of the Structured Equation Modeling (SEM) to obtain the best model for studying the relationship between the more efficient and accurate against the findings and the interpretation of the variables. The objectives of the study are to assess the reliability of the developed instrument and to test construct validity of the research instruments in estimating the contributing factors to TASKA service satisfaction. The proportionate stratified random sampling method was used to select a total of 61 TASKAs from three states on the east coast of Malaysia consisting of 273 parents and guardians which are currently using the TASKA services. Validity and reliability of the measurement model in the analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. Measurement models were data-based and fit based on the fit index (CMF) _2 = 3230.541, with degrees of freedom (df) = 902, CMIN / df = 3.582 (_5.0), CFI & TLI (_0.9), and RMSEA = 0.070 (_0.1).

Nurul Husna As Saedah Bain

Abstract

This study aims to synthesise and characterise new blue phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes and investigate their structural and photophysical properties through experimental techniques and theoretical calculations. Complexes of bis(phenylpyridine)(2,6- difluorobenzylpyridinylformimidamide) iridium(III) (IR1), bis(2,4- difluorophenylpyridine)(2,6- difluorobenzylpyridinylformimidamide)iridium(III) (IR2), bis(phenylpyridine)(4- methylbenzylpyridinylformimidamide)iridium(III) (IR3) and bis(2,4- difluorophenylpyridine)(4- methylbenzylpyridinylformimidamide)iridium(III) (IR4) were synthesised by reaction between dichloro-bridged iridium(III) dimers with the respective triazolium salts. Characterisation was conducted using carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen (CHN) elemental analyser and spectroscopic techniques: nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Photophysical properties were examined using ultravioletvisible .....
