The purpose of the study is to identify factors that influence behavioral intention (BI) of teachers in the developing of the MoblieHeutagogical (m-Heutagogical) Acceptance and Use Model. Many recent surges in published studies have revealed that m-Heutagogy has significant impacts on Edu. 4.0. However, the integrations seem to face a low level of its use among educators in the Malaysia setting. Methodologically, the study used the quantitative approach. A selfadministered survey was conducted involving 246 teachers, who were randomly selected from several teacher institutions and universities, where 58.1% (143) of the respondents were pre-service teachers, and 41.9% (103) were practicing teachers. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the use of IBM SPSS Amos was performed to determine the estimates of the parameters of the study model. The study showed that the proposed model fulfilled the requirements of the predetermined fit index, showing Use Expectancy (UE), Facilitating Condit.....

This paper explores the impact of aggregate overqualification on regional economic growth in Malaysia from 2005 to 2017 using Dynamic Panel Data (DPD) approach. The aggregate overqualification was gauged as the percentage of workers with at least a bachelor’s degree qualification who employed in an occupation below than the professional job level. Following the method, while the incidence stood at 1 percent, it was however higher in Kuala Lumpur (4.4 percent) and Selangor (3.9 percent) and was much lower in Perak (-0.26 percent) and Perlis (-0.12 percent). Moreover, the incidence was higher after 2010. Empirical findings revealed strong evidence of negative impact of the aggregate overqualification on regional economic growth. Yet, the magnitudes of the effect were smaller, between 0.02 and 0.03. Further analysis revealed the negative impact was greater in most developed states and for the period after 2010. The findings depict that there is a growth penalty for not being fully utili.....

This study propose the conceptual framework the relationship between 5S lean tool, value stream mapping (VSM) and warehouse performance (WP) among Malaysian manufacturing industry. The data collected will be analyzed using two packages statistical software. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software will be employed to analyze the reliability test and descriptive analysis. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique will also be employed in future study using AMOS software to investigate the relationship between the developed conceptual frameworks through the path analysis by the SEM approach. Thus, the implication of this study is seen as important and useful in increasing knowledge, propose dimensions, and propose conceptual framework for 5S lean tool and VSM are initiatives to improve WP among Malaysian manufacturing industry. Finally, it can be provided as a guideline and reference for the manufacturing practitioners and academicians..

Several previous research showed that students had difficulty in understanding the concept of transformation. Students are more likely to be introduced by using formula, and their learning is separate from the daily experience of students. This underlies the researcher to design a learning trajectory of learning transformation and to connect it with experience-based activities. The purpose of this research is to design of hypothetical learning trajectory in learning translation using motif of Anyaman Bambu as a starting point or learning context. The method used in this research is Design Research with three-step that is preliminary design, design experiment, and retrospective analysis. Design Research is a research method that has five characteristics, namely interventionist nature, process oriented, reflective component, cyclic character, and theory oriented. The subjects in this research were several samples of student’s class VIII junior high school. Data collection techniques us.....
