The purpose of this study was to seek the validity and reliability of net game’s performance-based assessment on the context of elementary school physical education students’ achievement. Research and development used as a primary research method. The subject were forty students in Yogyakarta’s table tennis school club which chose through random sampling technique. Content Validity Ratio (CVR) is used to test the validity, on the other hand, Anava-general Multifacet model for the inter-rater reliability. the results were as follows: CVR of the decision making is 0.714; CVR of the skill acquisition process is 1; CVR of the skill acquisition product is 1; and CVR of the returning on beginning position is 0.714. as for the decision making inter-rater reliability r = 0.785; skill acquisition process reliability r = 0.872; skill acquisition product r = 0.785; and returning on beginning position r = 0.885. As the conclusion, performance-based assessment instrument of net game, particul.....

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of segmented-animation, playpause- animation and continuous-animation in facilitating learning of low prior knowledge learners. A courseware prototype entitled Transmission Media was developed for the research purpose. The courseware contains nine animations on various topics in Transmission Media. Pre-test and post-test experimental design was employed on three different groups respectively. The data collected were analyzed statistically by using one-way between-groups ANOVA with post-hoc comparisons. Apparently, the result suggests that segmented-animation was significantly more effective than play-pause-animation and continuous-animation in enhancing students’ learning performance. The result indicates that segmented-animation was beneficial for students in conducting adequate cognitive processes of the information depicted in the animation. Furthermore, the result shows that allowing students to decide the segmentation in play-.....

This thesis is concerned with the impact of mobile learning (mLearning) on the study of local culture at Malaysian universities. For convenience, the term Local Cultural Studies (LCS) is given to Humanities subjects related to the teaching and learning of Malay culture, for example: Local History, Local Culture and National Heritage, Malay Wood Craft, Malay Drum, Cooking, Batik Textile, Ceramic, and Local Drama. These subjects are not as popular as Science and Engineering and are often referred to as 'dying traditional knowledge' with an uncertain future. They have a lesser degree of significance in modem Malaysian society in achieving a 'developed country' status. One motivation for introducing mLearning into LCS subjects is to make them more interesting: the learning activities and the subjects should appear more modem by linking them to the latest technology. The fact that all students own mobile phones in Malaysian universities creates an opportunity to use mLearning for the benefi.....

As a useful base for scale development, self-efficacy construct can be used in measuring competency and self-perception of individuals in their social behavior and academic achievements. The aim of this study was to develop a self-efficacy scale with two subscales of writing and social self-efficacy. To this effect, 261 high school students’ responses were used and resulted in development and validation of a 25-item self-efficacy scale. The presented two-factor model was supported with a principal factor analysis with high alpha reliabilities. It was also checked for model fit through conducting confirmatory factor analysis and was approved. Moreover, the developed scale was tested for presence of differential item functioning (DIF). The results presented confirmation for reliability and construct validity for the proposed scale and no DIF was detected. Further implications of the developed self-efficacy scale along with the limitations for this research are discussed in the concludi.....

Peristiwa 9/11 membawa suatu dimensi baru dalam perkembangan Pelancongan Islam di peringkat global. Selepas tahun 2001, trend penganjuran persidangan antarabangsa dan penerbitan dalam Pelancongan Islam semakin mendapat perhatian serius dalam kalangan sarjana. Selain itu, pola dan aliran ketibaan pelancong antarabangsa telah berubah dan memberikan manfaat kepada pembangunan pelancongan di negara Islam. Pelancongan Islam sering dikaitkan dengan pelancongan budaya, keagamaan dan spiritual. Sehingga kini, tidak terdapat satu pengertian yang khusus tentang konsep pelancongan Islam. Kepentingan dan keperluan perjalanan dalam Islam ditegaskan dalam beberapa surah Al-Quran. Ia turut berkait rapat dengan beberapa konsep perjalanan dalam Islam seperti haji, umrah, rihlah, ziyara dan tabligh.
