Inspired by positive results of Problem Based Learning (PBL) implementation within an array of disciplines, PBL was also implemented in teacher education fields since 1980’s. Since then, the literature of PBL implementation and its impact teacher education have been growing. However, there was no review work reported to conclude on how PBL impact specific learning outcomes in teacher education. Hence the aim of the paper was to review the research evidences concerning the impact of PBL implementation focusing on pre-service teachers´ knowledge and skills. Resources (journal articles and paper proceedings) were obtained from bibliographic databases and key research journals. The resources were chosen based on specific inclusion criteria, followed by a common review framework to ensure commonality and comprehensiveness during the review. The review works concluded that a PBL experience within teacher education provided opportunities for pre-service teachers to simultaneously acquire k.....

Research supervision is an academic activity that are planned and executed to enhance learning and maximize learning experience in the first-degree level of Institute of Teacher Education (ITE) Malaysia. The study aims to identify and rank the elements in Supervision Process construct for The Synergistic PsychoSocial Model (SyPSM) based on expert consensus. The expert consists of 15 experts from all ITEs, and possess variety of expertise in research supervision for first degree level. In addition, the chosen expert equipped with 10 years of experience in their respective fields. The study utilizes Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) technique to analyse the data. The findings indicate that all 13 elements in Supervision Practice construct were accepted. These elements were accepted since the threshold (d) value is less than 0.2, the Fuzzy A score is > 0.5 and percentage of expert group consensus is more than 75%. In conclusion, the research has successfully identified elements for supervision pr.....
