A valid and reliable instrument is needed to assess the implementation of a program known as ‘Program Guru Penyayang’ in schools. The purpose of this study is to develop the instrument and validate it. The instrument is in the form of questionnaire distributed to a sample of 230 primary school teachers teaching Orang Asli students. The content validity is assessed by the experts and the construct validity is measured by Exploratory Factor Analysis. The reliability of the instrument is measured using internal consistence reliability, which is alpha coefficient reliability or Cronbach Alpha. Results of Exploratory Factor Analysis suggested that 23 items need to be removed due to their non-dimensionality as they have more or less equal loadings on several factors. Thus, the final draft of the instrument contains 46 items which is valid and reliable. It yielded high values of internal consistency as reflected by the Cronbach alpha values. Even though the validity and reliability of the.....

Artificial seed production technique for Carica papaya L. var Eksotika is considered as a valuable alternate technology of propagation. Limited availability of the elite genotypes apprehends the utility of the C. papaya L. var Eksotika plants, for industrial use and ecological improvement. Therefore, development of an efficient method for C. papaya L. var Eksotika artificial seeds production by encapsulation of micro shoots in sodium alginate matrix were produced. Artificial seeds of C. papaya L. var Eksotika were produced by encapsulated micro shoots of C. papaya L. varieties Eksotika propagated in vitro. The production of artificial plant seeds of this species offered ideal beads based upon stiffness, texture, size and shape of beads. It was found that 4% sodium alginate and harden in two hundred millimolar CaCl2.2H2O solution produced optimum beads with stiff, clear, round and homogeneous size for 30 minutes among the concentrations tested...
