This paper introduces a conceptual Teacher-Learner framework for collaborative learning with serious games. An initial study identified 12 attributes of educational serious games that can be used to support effective learning. These attributes can be applied to the development of a conceptual framework for games to support learning. A considerable number of serious games have been developed over the 10 years, with varying degrees of success. Due to a lack of clear standards and guidelines for game developers, it is difficult to justify claims that a specific game meets the learners_ requirements and/ or expectations. This paper provides an account of a conceptual framework for serious games that will guide their designs and the measurement of achievements in meeting the learners_ requirements. Keywords conceptual framework, model, serious games, teacher-learner..

Henan Province is renowned for its rich intangible cultural heritage, yet the participation of young adults in traditional cultural consumption remains low. This study aims to develop and validate a design framework to enhance young adults' purchase intentions for cultural and creative tourism products in Henan Province. Through a systematic literature review, the researcher developed the CFI-MD design framework to investigate the relationships among cultural, functional, and interactive meanings in the design of cultural and creative tourism products. Inspired by the woodcut New Year paintings from Zhuxian Town in Henan Province, the researcher designed, developed, and validated a series of cultural and creative tourism products named _Here Comes Door-God._ As an example of the CFI-MD framework, the product was evaluated using an adapted Decomposition Theory of Planned Behavior (DTPB) model, renamed as the DTPB-MD model. The DTPB-MD model incorporates three independent variables: perc.....

The study aims to investigate the relationship between the public's social media usage (SMU) and identification of local government image (ILGI) in Henan Province, China, and explore appropriate strategies to optimize local government image brand communication (GIBC) based on brand equity (BE) using government social media (GSM). This study used an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. Firstly, in quantitative research stage, based on conceptual framework, this study developed a model with independent variable as SMU, dependent variable as ILGI, and mediator variables as social trust (ST) and social participation (SP), adapted from existing literatures to form the questionnaire. Data were analysed using SPSS 26.0 and SmartPLS 4, and structural equation modelling was developed through PLS-SEM. Seven hypotheses were tested and supported. Quantitative results indicated that SMU had a significant positive effect on ST, SP, and ILGI, and ST and SP had significant positive effect on I.....

The purpose of this study was to investigate the essential oil composition, phytochemicals, and antioxidant activity from the leaves of Piper crassipes. Essential oil was obtained from the leaves by hydrodistillation, and its chemical compositions was determined using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Soxhlet extraction was performed for the leaves part, followed by isolation of phytochemicals using silica gel column chromatography. The chemical structures of isolated compounds were determined using spectral analysis (Infrared Spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, and Mass Spectrometry) and comparison with literature data. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the 2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay and total phenolic content. Twenty-two compounds (97.8%) were identified in the leaf oil with chavibetol (59.8%), chavibetol acetate (10.4%), _-muurolene (5.4%), and germacrene D (4.6%) as major comp.....

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menilai tahap Pengetahuan Teknologi Pedagogi Kandungan (PTPK) guru Pendidikan Islam (GPI) dalam pengajaran Jawi di sekolah kebangsaan seluruh Malaysia, di samping mengkaji hubungan antara PTPK dan amalan pengajaran GPI. Berdasarkan tinjauan terhadap 378 GPI yang dipilih melalui pensampelan rawak berlapis dan kelompok, dapatan menunjukkan bahawa GPI memiliki pandangan positif terhadap tahap keseluruhan PTPK, tetapi menunjukkan tahap sederhana dalam amalan pengajaran. Kajian ini juga mendedahkan perbezaan signifikan dalam PTPK berdasarkan faktor jantina dan infrastruktur, sementara faktor lokasi dan pengalaman mengajar tidak menunjukkan kesan ketara. Analisis korelasi mendapati hubungan positif dan signifikan antara setiap komponen PTPK terhadap amalan pengajaran guruguru Pendidikan Islam (GPI). Sementara itu, analisis regresi berganda mengenal pasti bahawa infrastruktur memainkan peranan sebagai pengantara dalam meningkatkan hubungan antara PTPK dan amalan pen.....

Kajian kualitatif ini bertujuan untuk memahami pembangunan kompetensi, amalan dan impak kepimpinan guru besar muda (GBML). Kajian kes tunggal ini dijalankan terhadap peserta kajian yang dipilih secara bertujuan, manakala informan yang terdiri daripada kalangan kakitangan GBML pula dipilih secara bebola salji. Protokol temu bual dibina daripada kerangka konseptual kajian yang diadaptasi daripada tiga teori iaitu Teori Kepimpinan Instruksional (Hallinger & Murphy, 1985), Teori Kepimpinan Distributif (Gordon, 2005) dan Teori Kepimpinan Transformasional (Slocum & Hellriegel, 2007). Pemilihan tiga teori ini adalah berdasarkan aspirasi Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia untuk melahirkan pemimpin yang mengamalkan kepimpinan instruksional, distributif dan transformasional melalui Pelan Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia 2013-2025. Kajian dijalankan dengan menemu bual GBML dan kaki tangannya serta triangulasi semakan dokumen, pemerhatian persekitaran sekolah dan media sosial sekolah. Data daripada se.....
