This study investigates the potential of Plaster of Paris (POP) as an alternative medium for producing water-based  screen printing ink. The project is based on the concept  of aesthetic experimental to explore different types of  print characteristics for instance, consistency,  workability, colour densities, and impression qualities.  Evaluation measures including medium particle size using  Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM)  testing, microstructural and chemical composition  analysis using Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy  Dispersive Spectrometer (SEM-EDS), and toxicity analysis  using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optimal Emission  Spectrometer (ICPOES). The results showed that the  formulated medium has a unique property and provided  opportunities in creating different types of luminosity  and opacity effects. It also created unique print  characteristics which capable to derive a huge aesthetic  potential within the context of ideas development.....

English language is one of the most important and second language after Bahasa Melayu, which is also a national language in Malaysia. Writing in English language is one of the most difficult skills for Malaysian students, especially if they do not have a good proficiency in thelanguage. Objective of this study is to identify L2 (English) syntax transferred negatively and positively from L1 (Bahasa Melayu) in writing English (L2) essays among Form Two secondary school students. The design of this study is a qualitative which is appropriate to identify the phenomena. The data collection instruments were document analysis and interview. To execute this study, 20 writing samples were chosen from low proficiency level of students. They were instructed to write about 100 word essays on a given topic in English language. The syntax was later corroborated and compared to substantiate the theoretical arguments in the field of language transfer. From the findings, it was found that first languag.....

Mathematics is vital in our life and society. However, gamification ofmathematics is rare for topics such as fractions and decimals. This paper presents the development of an educational mathematics game called one slash one hundred percent (1 Slash 100%). It is the hybridization of the conventional card game and quick response (QR). This research aims to study how the respondents explore the card game to master decimal, fraction and percentage. The testing was conducted among secondary school students in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia (n=12; age=14). The respondents were asked to answer a set of questions in pre-test and post-test question. The results are promising where the analysis showed a significant difference between pre-test (M=14.3, SD=2.103) and post-test scores (M=17.6, SD=2.234). Thus, gamification of mathematics using the hybrid card game increases their mastery of decimal, fraction and percentage.  ..
