Students motivation toward science learning in secondary schools in Oman and Malaysia: a comparative study
Salih Maria, Y.M. Mai Mohammed, Al Shibli Abdullah,
The purpose of this research was to compare the Omani and Malaysian students' motivation toward science learning in secondary schools. Motivation is an important component from any teaching and learning process. The results of previous studies revealed that students with better motivation usually perform better in school grades. The sample size is 359 students: 37.6% of them were Malaysian (135 students) while 62.4% were Omani (224 students). The 30-item Science Motivation Questionnaire (SMQ) was used in this research. It was developed by Glynn, Taasoobshirazi and Brickman. The results showed that the students had a “moderate” motivation in general. Regarding the subcategories, the students had “high Extrinsically Motivation” while they had a “moderate” level of motivation in the other subcategories or motivational factors. An independent-samples t-test was conducted to compare the motivation towards science scores of Omani and Malaysians. This finding implied that the Oman.....

Mental models of the concept of carbon cycle via self-generated visualisation among matriculation college science students
Abd. Rahman Roszelina, Salih Maria,
Among the objectives of this study was to identify and explain matriculation college science student’s mental models generated from self-visualisation of the concept of the carbon cycle. Five students were purposively sampled and the study was carried out in a naturalistic setting qualitative approach. Data was collected through a visualisation task and followed by interviews. The constant comparative qualitative technique was used to analyse differences and similarities that led to patterns in their mental visualisation. Findings showed two patterns of mental models; namely pictorial and graphical mental models. These students visualised themselves from their own experiences and made relationships to their prior and new knowledge. Keyword selection coincided with the concept used for the generation of visualisation. This study expects to help formulate a framework for teaching and learning to guide students to generate a significant mental visualisation of abstract science concepts......

Curriculum framework for preparing quality teachers for the future: developing guiding principles
Ratnavadivel Nagendralingan, Chang Lee Hoon, Salih Maria, Low Jeffery, Karuppiah Nagalingam, Omar Ainon, Md. Yassin Sopia, Dawi Amir Hasan, Saad Noor
Globalization is constantly impacting on education and is radically transforming it in terms of the mode and culture of learning. The shift from product-economy to knowledge-economy has profound implications for the kind of education a nation has to offer its future generation. The need for knowledge workers places emphasis on new attributes for learners, particularly those which pertain to twenty-first century skills. The last decade and a half has also seen the emergence of international student ranking lists such as TIMSS, PISA, PIRLS, Olympiads, which have put tremendous pressure on education ministries. A response to this pressure of „rank and shame‟ has been a flurry of education reform initiatives, including in Malaysia. The ability to develop learners who can think critically and creatively and to reason logically and to innovate is the challenge in education. The Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 has identified teacher education among the eleven shifts to transform th.....

Teachers perceptions and students motivation to Thinking-based Learning (TBL) in a classroom context
Salih Maria,
This paper will present part of a larger study on the development and implementation of a Thinking-based Learning (TBL) instructional manual for secondary science. Two of the research objectives discussed in this paper is to determine teachers’ perceptions in conducting the TBL approach in the regular classroom and the students’ motivation after undergoing a series of TBL activities. Four teachers from 4 different schools volunteered to conduct TBL science lessons to an intact group of 187 students. Another group of 40 MRSM science teachers were given a 2 days TBL workshop. A five point Likert scale questionnaire on teachers’ perception and an intrinsic motivation inventory was used to collect data. The findings showed that despite 79% of teachers who are in favor of the TBL approach, many constrains faced by them might impede the implementation and success of the approach. 85.6% of the students were highly motivated intrinsically after undergoing the TBL lessons. It can be concl.....
