This study proposed to investigate the influence of teachers’ self-directed professional learning in enhancing Teachers’ Leadership Competency (TLC) through teachers’ Action (ACT), Thinking (THI), Feeling (FEE), Accessing (ACC) in Facilitating Improvement and Establishing Standards (FIES), Modeling Leadership Attributes and Skills (MLAS), Participating in Organizational Development (POD), Fostering a Collaborative Culture (FCC), and Performing as Referral Leader (PRL) as well. The data will be collected from 301 teachers from 12 sample schools through self-administered of Teacher Learning and Competency Scale (TLCS) survey instrument. The samples will be selected through proportionate random sampling procedure. The collected data will be analyzed using SPSS software package. The pilot-test data will be analyzed utilizing Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The Second Order Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) or known as Pooled Measurement Model will be employed to assess the model .....

The main purpose was to assess preschool teachers’ peer leadership readiness in mobilizing ‘Fly with virtual Peer-Led Fun Innovative Inquiry’ (Fly with v-PeLFII) whilst validating the effectiveness of ‘Fly with virtual Peer-Led Fun Innovative Inquiry Model’ (Fly with v-PeLFII Model). The 3-point likert scale survey instrument which consists of seven constructs were gathered from 35 preschool teachers who attended the ‘Fly with v-PeLFII 21’ virtual workshop. Comparative analysis of Pre-Test and Post-Test of ‘Fly with v-PeLFII Model’ and descriptive statistics were utilized to analyze the data. The increased percentage from Pre-Test to Post-Test within the range of 57.14 percent to 71.43 percent revealed that 35 preschool teachers from Perak are ready to lead their peer teachers in mobilizing fun innovative inquiry in the new horizon. The result also portrayed that the newly developed ‘Fly with v-PeLFII Model’ was an effective online fun innovative inquiry approach .....

In this work higher Cu2+ removal efficiency was achieved by graphene oxide GO-based electrode with the constant magnetic field (CMF)-assisted electrodeposition system. The GO was initially synthesized by the electrochemical exfoliation method in the electrolyte containing custom-made surfactant. The as-prepared GO solution was then spray coated on the pre-heated stainless steel-cathode before annealed at 400°C for 1 hour. GO-based electrode with CMF-assisted electrodeposition system was successful removed 89.1% of Cu2+ from aqueous solutions as compared to the electrode without GO of only 75.5% of Cu2+ removal within a fixed 3 hours’ time. The efficient of Cu2+ removal by GO-based electrode was believed due to the high specific surface area of GO that increases the accommodation of the active species (Cu2+) at the electrode surfaces. In the meantime, it was found that the presence of CMF of 23 Gauss parallel to cathode surfaces enhances the convection and mass transport of Cu2+ char.....
