Measuring the content validity of MEPI using Content Validity Ratio

Abstract

The main intention of this research is to examine the content validity of Marine Engineer Personality Inventory or MEPI for student candidates of Diploma in Marine Engineering course at Malaysian Polytechnics by using Content Validity Ratio (CVR). The assessment was conducted through the evaluation among 14 subject matter experts (SME) selected via judgment sampling. Seven professional university experts involved with the expertise in psychology, psychometric, educational measurement, and linguistics. The field experts specializing in particular fields of study consisted of seven practitioners who worked in the polytechnics field and maritime industry. The instrument involved 288 items with six main constructs. The results of the research show that the instrument has a good content validity and proved that MEPI has great potential to be promoted as a good measurement instrument of personality screening for Marine Engineering student selection process. It is recommended to apply more so.....

Kerangka piawaian pengajaran dan pembelajaran berasaskan aplikasi Tik Tok di Politeknik Malaysia

Nurul Aesyah Ismail Chong

Abstract

This study aims to identify the components needed for the development of a teaching and learning module framework based on the TikTok application in Politeknik Malaysia. The popularity of TikTok among students is increasing, but educators face challenges in integrating this technology into teaching and learning. One important aspect for successfully using TikTok in teaching is providing clear and detailed guidelines to ensure the design and development of learning materials go smoothly, meet lecturers needs, and are effective for students. The conceptual framework of this study is developed based on a literature review of the main theories proposed by scholars. It integrates connectivism theory, cognitive load theory, and multimedia learning theory as the foundation for developing the research guidelines. Using the Fuzzy Delphi method with a 7-point Likert scale, 15 experts in the fields of curriculum and multimedia were selected to assess the consensus level on the components identifi.....

The mediating effect of risk factor management on the relationship between economic literacy and performance of public Universities in Southwestern Nigeria

Bomiro, Nurudeen Babatunde

Abstract

Nigerian universities face economic and funding challenges, resulting in infrastructural deficits, low rankings, and limited human capital development despite administrative autonomy. Studies on economic literacy and organizational behaviour in educational contexts remains underexplored, particularly in developing countries like Nigeria, where studies predominantly focus on non-educational sectors and emphasize financial literacy, a subset of economic literacy. This study investigates the mediating role of risk factor management in the relationship between economic literacy and university performance in Southwestern Nigeria. It measures the levels of economic literacy, risk factor management, and university performance while analyzing the impact of economic literacy on both risk factor management and university performance. Additionally, it assesses the effect of risk factor management on university performance and their mediating role in the relationship between economic literacy and .....

Experimental analysis of enhanced mechanical properties in steel fiber-reinforced recycled concrete

Zhang,Li

Abstract

Environmental protection and recycling of resources are issues of international concern today, recycled concrete, as a green building material, can promote the healthy development of the construction industry. This study aims to assess the mechanical enhancements in recycled concrete when reinforcing with varying steel fiber volumes, evaluating its potential for broader structural applications. By reinforcing the recycled coarse aggregate, the addition of steel fibers, and the study of improved mechanical properties of the recycled concrete improved scale. Designing a comparative experiment to analyze mechanical properties of three different coarse aggregate steel fiber-reinforced recycled concretes, steel fiber volume rates were 0%, 1%, 2%, and 3%, and strength class was C30, a total of 144 pieces of 100mm x 100mm x 100mm cubic specimens. Analyzing uniaxial compression, split tension, shear, and biaxial compression-shear forces, the study of damage mechanisms and stress-strain curve p.....

Keberkesanan kaedah demonstrasi video dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran bagi modul pendawaian elektrik tiga fasa

Jamunarani Muthusamy

Abstract

Kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenalpasti kesesuaian kaedah demonstrasi dengan video dalam bidang pemasangan elektrik. Modul yang dipilih untuk kajian ini adalah modul pendawaian elektrik tiga fasa yang memfokuskan proses amali membentuk sesalur dan pembuluh logam dengan betul dan tepat. Proses amali ini memerlukan fokus dan perhatian yang terperinci bagi menjalankan amali tersebut. Responden kajian ini adalah pelajar semester dua dari jurusan Sijil Pemasangan Elektrik (SPE) yang sedang mempelajari modul berkenaan di Kolej Komuniti Kuala Langat. Keberkesanan kaedah demonstrasi dengan video ini dikaji menggunakan Teori Pembelajaran Gagne Sembilan Fasa. Data yang diperolehi daripada soal selidik dianalisis menggunakan Statistical Packages for Social Science Version 17.0 (SPSS Versi 17.0) bagi mendapatkan skor min dan peratusan bagi setiap item.

Investigating usability guidelines in developing mobile application

Siti Asma Mohammed

Abstract

The extensive use of smart phones has become an increasingly trend in promoting and disseminating the sharing of information. Use of smart phone is also widely in use among university students to help them in term of education, time management, and access of information. However, numbers of mobile application for public universities in Malaysia is still low. Usability has been recognized as a significant quality dimension to determine the success of information sharing among the mobile phone users. Usability has become the key factor for successful use of mobile applications especially for those who have limited experiences with new technology. User expectations are the most basic thing in designing mobile applications. Therefore, the selection of the best guidelines should be taken into considerations in determining the usability aspects in the early design phase of the application. Nevertheless, there is still lack of structured guidelines that are available from the literature of mo.....

Haslina Hassan

Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is one of an important factor in developing and implementing effective ways in teaching and learning. As learning at higher learning institution becoming a challenging experience, students are required to acquire knowledge and skill in ICT. It could help them to engage actively in learning process and becomes motivated learner. This paper investigated students_ perceptions on using ICT in learning and evaluated their score on knowledge test and task-based test. The perceptions test is looking at how students perceived the usage of ICT in their learning process and; the knowledge and task-based test are used to identify their knowledge and skills score in ICT. Later knowledge tests data are compared with perceptions data to look at any similarity and differences. Both perceptions and knowledge test were developed based on seven knowledge constructs (ethical usage, communication, basic computer operation, personal management, information sea.....

The development and evaluation of an automated system in detecting environmental data for monitoring forest activity

Shahrizuan Shafiril

Abstract

Forest ecosystems have always received worldwide attention due to their biological diversity and these forests are vital for human existence since their area is decreasing due to human negligence and over-exploitation by the human population. Recent reports showed the evidence of illegal logging and harvesting activities, detected late, thus coming up with serious consequences. Therefore, an early detection system must be developed to monitor these illegal activities by collecting the environmental data. This research characterized the dynamics, cycle of temperature, humidity, and phase particle based on the conceptual framework that has been developed. The ADDIE model was selected as the proper model to be implemented in developing the prototype. The sensing data has been identified as a salient data for preserving the forest ecosystem that must be protected as part of the population well-being and prolong heritage. The hardware components for designing this prototype consisted of tem.....
