Mastering 4Cs skills which consist of critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity has become an important agenda in 21st century learning and education based on 4.0 revolutions. Therefore, this study was carried out to identify level of practice of fostering 4Cs skills in teaching and learning. This study was implemented on 84 teachers as they answered the questionnaire provided. According to descriptive analysis which applied calculation of mean and standard deviation, respondents were found to state agreement at high level in average on three of the 4Cs skills namely critical thinking (Min = 3.56), collaboration (Min = 4.02) and creativity (3.72) while moderate level on communication skill (Min = 3.25). The findings show that it is necessary to put great effort on teaching and learning in order to ensure the process of fostering 4Cs skills can happen optimally so that pupils will be able to master the skills effectively..

Kajian  ini  dijalankan  untuk  mengenal  pasti  pengaruh  amalan  kepimpinan  guru terhadap keberhasilan pelajar dalam kalangan pelajar tingkatan enam. Kajian ini adalah kajian kes  yang menggunakan dua jenis instrumen soal selidik iaitu soal selidik kepimpinan guru dan soal  selidik keberhasilan pelajar. Populasi kajian ini terdiri dari 187 pelajar tingkatan enam atas di  daerah Perak Tengah. Berdasarkan jadual saiz sampel Krejcie dan Morgan, jumlah sampel adalah 123  pelajar. Pemilihan sampel kajian menggunakan teknik persampelan rawak mudah. Data kajian dianalisis  secara deskriptif dan inferens. Hasil kajian menunjukkan kepimpinan guru (min= 4.15, sp= 0.47) dan  tahap keberhasilan pelajar (min= 4.07, sp= 0.43) berada pada tahap yang tinggi. Namun kepimpinan  guru mempunyai hubungan yang lemah dengan keberhasilan pelajar (r= .238, p < .05). Hasil analisis  regresi linear mudah menunjukkan kepimpinan guru mempengaruhi keberhasilan pelajar (β=.238,  p=0.0.....

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk membangunkan modul pembelajaran berasaskan projek yang diintegrasikan dengan konsep Sains, Teknologi, Kejuruteraan dan Matematik (Modul PRO-STEM) dalam  topik Biodiversiti dan Ekosistem serta mengkaji kesannya terhadap kemahiran berfikir aras tinggi  (KBAT) dan kemahiran abad ke-21. Kajian ini menggunakan kajian reka kuasi eksperimen bagi menilai  keberkesanan modul. Pembangunan modul PRO-STEM adalah berpandukan Model Pembangunan Modul Sidek.  Modul PRO-STEM yang dibangunkan mempunyai kesahan dan kebolehpercayaan yang baik dengan indeks  kebolehpercayaan alfa Cronbach sebanyak 0.92. Kajian keberkesanan modul terhadap KBAT dan kemahiran  abad ke-21 dijalankan di sebuah sekolah menengah di daerah Batang Padang, Perak. Sampel kajian  melibatkan seramai 63 orang murid yang dipilih secara rawak kelompok, 33 daripadanya dalam kumpulan  rawatan manakala lagi 30 orang murid berada dalam kumpulan kawalan. Kumpulan rawatan menjalani  proses pengajara.....

The research aimed to investigate the effects of Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) as a control group compared to Sport Education Model (SEM) and Hybrid TGfU and Sport Education Model (HTGfU–SEM) as treatment groups on the psychomotor domain in badminton doubles game play. The effectiveness of these models were assessed based on execution skills off serve, forehand, lob shot, drop shot and smash in badminton doubles game play. The research employed Quasi Eksperimental preposttest design. The sample involved a total of 96 students aged 13 years old chosen intactly and distributed equally each in three groups with 16 girls and 16 boys. The adopted Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI) was employed to access psychomotor aspect of serve, forehand, lob shot, drop shot and smash. The data were analyzed using Mean, SD, ANOVA, MANOVA, MANCOVA and post-hoc test. MANCOVA analysis results showed that there were significant improvement in serve performance, forehand, lob shot and d.....

In this paper, the authors discuss on the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and facilitating (TaF) Malay Literature where it plays an important role in keeping with current educational developments. Through the Malaysian Education Development Plan 2013-2025 (Pelan Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia 2013-2025) it appears that efforts to increase ICT in education in preparation for generating human capital that ICT literacy need to be further enhanced. Furthermore, the country is facing severe challenges in its efforts to provide a quality education system. The main objective of this study was to identify the TaF method practiced by the teachers of Malay Literature and how they integrate ICT in TaF. The study was conducted in three selected schools in Negeri Sembilan which offer elective Malay Literature in the fourth grade. A semi-structured interview method for six teachers was conducted. Questionnaire techniques and observations during the TaF proc.....

Cancer represents a significant burden on both patients and their families and their societies, especially in developing countries, including Libya. Therefore, the aim of this study was to model the geographical distribution of lung cancer incidence in Libya. The correct choice of a statistical model is a very important step to producing a good map of disease in question. Therefore, in this study will use three models to estimate the relative risk for lung cancer disease, they are initially Standardized Morbidity Ratio, which is the most common statistic used in disease mapping, BYM model, and Mixture model. As an initial step, this study begins by providing a review of all models are proposed, which we then apply to lung cancer data in Libya. In this paper, we show some preliminary results, which are displayed and compared by using maps, tables, graphics and goodness-of-fit, the last measure of displaying the results is common in statistical modelling to compare fitted models. The mai.....

In Malaysia, the students’ academic assessment has changed over time as it is now made to be more holistic. Predictive models used for educational data in Malaysia are still inadequate in giving a true picture of the students’ academic performance. The reason behind this is due to the lack of research in Malaysian context on predictive models and factors affecting students' academic achievement. Therefore, this study will conduct a systematic review on the literature, in order to identify the predictive methods for students’ academic performance in higher education. Through three major bases: WoS, Science Direct and IEEE Xplore, an extensive search was conducted to find any related articles from 2014 to 2018 that use "predict", "forecast", "academic performance", "student" and "higher education" keywords in their text. Initially, 195 articles were selected to be used in this review. However, through titles and abstracts’ filtering and screen processing, only 69 articles found t.....

Conventional classroom teaching and learning of programming tends to be didactic, which is usually tends to be monotonous and less interesting. In learning programming – a subject that is deemed extremely challenging to master – such a situation can have a serious repercussion in that students can easily become unmotivated and demoralized to learn. As such, students need to use relevant learning tools that can stimulate and motivate them to learn such a course. Of late, many researchers have started using online game-based learning (GBL) tools to improve students’ motivation and performance. Invariably, most of the studies mainly focused on GBL tools to move avatars. As such, this study focuses on programming as the activities in such a game. In this study, the researchers used the prototyping model to develop an online GBL application called Prog-GBL by integrating the elements of mastery learning approach and ARCS model to help motivate students in learning programming. The eva.....
