The use of technology in creating Teaching Aids (TA) for the Teaching and Learning (TL) process has a great impact on delivering knowledge and skills as well as expediting the learning process amongst students. Additionally, game-based TA plays an important role in improving the achievement and efficiency of students in the classroom. This research was conducted to develop the education kit for TL Resistor Color Code (RCC). The main purpose of this education kit development is to help students understand the RCC through a fun learning environment based on hands-on learning activity. This education kit known as Resistor Value Checker (RVC) kit is built on the concept of 21st Century Learning (21-CL) which concerns about the use of appropriate technology in the process of the TL in the classroom. It is designed with the latest facilities and different from existing products in the market...

Kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti sumbangan Modul Celik STEM yang dibangunkan terhadap pemikiran kreatif murid dalam pembelajaran sains. Kajian tentang reka bentuk kuasi eksperimen dengan jenis kumpulan kawalan tidak setara melibatkan sampel seramai 60 orang murid tingkatan satu yang berusia 13 tahun dari sekolah berasrama di daerah Baling, Kedah. Sampel dibahagikan kepada dua kumpulan; 30 orang mewakili kumpulan rawatan dan 30 orang lagi mewakili kumpulan kawalan. Data yang dikumpul daripada skor ujian pra-pasca-pemikiran kreatif (UPK) dianalisis menggunakan analisis kovarian sehala pada aras signifikan p < .05. Dapatan menunjukkan terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan bagi skor UPK antara kumpulan rawatan dan kumpulan kawalan apabila skor ujian pra dikawal secara statistik, F (1,57) = 16.639, p = .000, partial eta squared = .226. Selain itu, terdapat hubungan yang signifikan dan sederhana kuat antara skor ujian pra dan ujian pasca UPK dengan nilai partial eta squared = .082. Ke.....

In this paper, optimal control theory is applied to a system of ordinary differential equations representing a hantavirus infection in rodent and alien populations. The effect of the optimal control in eliminating the rodent population that caused the hantavirus infection is investigated. In addition, Pontryagin’s maximum principle is used to obtain the necessary condition for the controls to be optimal. The Runge–Kutta method is then used to solve the proposed optimal control system. The findings from the optimal control problem suggest that the infection may be eradicated by implementing some controls for a certain period of time. This research concludes that the optimal control mathematical model is an effective method in reducing the number of infectious in a community and environment...

The study aims to investigate the effect of photo-autotrophic cultural conditions on the productivity and biomass composition of Chlorella vulgaris. The following five photo-autotrophic cultural conditions were investigated: light intensity (4000, 10,500, 17,000, 23,000, 30,000 lux), temperature (25, 28, 32, 35, 40
C), pH (6, 7, 8, 9, 10), CO2 (0.03, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10%) and NO3 (0, 250, 500, 750, 1000 mg/L). Results indicate that lipid and protein yields were increased by 3.19 fold and decreased by 1.47 fold, respectively, under NO3 deficiency (0 mg/L). Meanwhile, carbohydrate yield was increased by 1.39 fold in 5% CO2. Further cultivation with parameters of the highest biomass productivity (10,500 lux, 28
C, pH 8, 5% CO2 and 500 mg/L NO3 ) achieved the maximum biomass productivity of 0.468 g/L/day. Moreover, cultivation with parameters of the highest lipid yield (23,500 lux, 40
C, pH 8, 0.03% CO2 and 0 mg/L NO3) achieved the maximum lipid yield of 43.70%. The major fatty acid methyl .....

This study investigates the relationship between the Arabic language and Islamic sciences. The paper aims at identifying the impact of learning Arabic on the understanding of Quran Interpretation, Islamic Law (Hadith), and Islamic Jurisprudence. The researcher uses the analytic descriptive approach and used the questionnaire as a data collection method. The population of the study was the students of Arabic language and Islamic Sciences at Malaya University, the sample was 55 students from this department. The main results of the paper were that non-Arab learners of Arabic find it very helpful in understanding the Quran and Islamic sciences. In addition, learners did not think that the Arabic language enables them to comprehend the Islamic sciences completely. Based on these results, the researcher suggested a few recommendations. The main ones are to improve the level of teaching the Arabic language in the university, reinforce the linkage between the Arabic language and the Islamic s.....

The aim of this experimental study is to determine the effect of early psychoeducational intervention process through Primary School’s Psychoeducational Cognitive Behavior Module (MPpKTSR) on psychological aspects (resilience, motivation, depression and coping skills). First phase of this study involved 160 participants who have Marker System characteristics. While second phase involved 80 subject (40 males; 40 females) who had been chosen from the result of the first phase based on few criteria (low level of resilience, motivation and coping skill; high level of depression). These criteria were measure through Instrumen Remaja Berisiko Sekolah Rendah (IRBSR). They were divided into two group (treatment and control group). Through ANCOVA analysis that have been conducted, MPpKTSR have positive impact where this module effectively increases the level of resilience, motivation and coping skill, and reduce depression level among subject in treatment group (male and female). As the concl.....

The purpose of this study is to compare the principals’ and the teachers' perception of aborigine’s pupils leading learning factors. The leading learning factors include school climate, principals' role, teacher leadership, teacher behaviour, student motivation, and parental commitment. This study provides an overview of the factors that need to be taken into consideration by principals, teachers, and policymakers to better plan and make decisions for the betterment of aborigine’s pupils. A total of nine principals and 113 teachers from nine aborigines primary schools participated in this study. Data were collected using questionnaires and analysed using descriptive statistics. The findings documented that the principals' mean score levels relatively higher than the teachers' score. There was no difference in the priority factor based on the mean score values between the principals and the teacher. The respondents agree that the role of the principals is most important, followed .....
