The effect of a three-week multisensory training program for postural sway control
Lee, Ai Choo
Evaluating postural sway parameters can play an integral part in a rehabilitation program. One device capable of quantifying postural sway measures is the Chattecx Dynamic Balance System (CDBS). The purpose of the Study 1 was to determine the test-retest reliability and the discriminant validity of the CDBS. Forty non-injured females, ranging in age from 20 to 49 years (mean age 30.03 ± 6.95 years) were randomly assigned according to the hours spent per week practicing sporting activities. This study demonstrated that the CDBS revealed good test-retest reliability (ICCs > 0.80), but it did not have good discriminant validity in distinguishing the effect of hours spent at sporting activities per week for postural sway control between Group 1 (exercise five hours or more) and Group 2 (exercise less than five hours) when testing static and dynamic balance. Study 2 used a randomized controlled intervention to investigate whether a threeweek multisensory training program would lead to a de.....

The effect of games on year three pupils' vocabulary acquisition, interest, motivation and attitudes in the Chinese language classroom
Choo, Kan Fah
The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of the use of games as a strategy during practice for improving vocabulary acquisition of year three pupils in the Chinese language classroom. Quasi experimental was used in the research. This research also sought to examine the effects of game-based practice on pupils' interest, motivation and attitudes. Two different teaching practices were adopted, that are game-based practice for the experimental group and conventional practice for the control group. Each group had 30 pupils who were randomly assigned. Data was collected through a vocabulary acquisition test, a questionnaire on pupils' interest, motivation and attitudes, focus group interviews with pupils and the experimental group teacher's interview. Statistical results revealed that there was no significant difference between the two groups on vocabulary acquisition test. However, the middle vocabulary level pupils in the experimental group made significant improvemen.....

Sensitivity optimisation of hybrid calixarene-reduced graphene oxide langmuir-blodgett thin films via langmuir, optical, structural and elektrical characterisations
Lim, Darwina Choo Kheng
The  study  aimed  to  investigate  the  characteristics  of  calixarene,  reduced  graphene oxide  (rGO) and their composite in order to optimise the sensitivity of the composite. The   calixarenes    (calix[4]arene,   calix[6]arene   and   calix[8]arene)   and   rGO   were prepared  in  solution   to  form  a  Langmuir  film  by  using  Langmuir-Blodgett  (LB) trough. The values of 30 mN/m and  15 mN/m were selected for calixarenes and rGO respectively  for  the  thin  film  deposition.  The   surface  potential  (?V)  and  effective dipole  moment  (µ?)  of  calixarenes  were  also   investigated.  The  optical  properties  of calixarene   in   solution   and   thin   film   were    studied   using   UV-Visible   (UV-Vis) spectroscopy  and  compared  to  ensure  the  stability  of   the  thin  film.  Meanwhile,  the rGO thin film was characterised with UV-Vis spectroscopy for t.....

Development and the effect of mobile enthalpy game application on matriculation students achievement in thermochemical equation
Choo, Sze Yee
The purpose of this study is to develop a mobile enthalpy game application (MEGA) and study its effect on matriculation students’ achievement in writing thermochemical equations.   MEGA  is  an  Android  game  application  developed  for student  to  acquire skills to write  thermochemical equations. It is developed based on ADDIE’s, Kwon’s and the game-based learning  engineering models. MEGA was validated in terms of content,  pedagogy  and  multimedia  by  using   Cohen’s  kappa  agreement  coefficient. Reliability of MEGA is determined by using the reliability  coefficient. This quantitative study  employed  time-series  quasi  experimental  design  involving   36  students  in  the control group (PowerPoint slides) and 36 students in the experimental group  (MEGA). Samples are chosen by using a simple random sampling technique. The effect of MEGA versus   PowerPoint  slides  on  student  achievement  of  thermochemical .....

Assessing financial and macroeconomic factors influencing the Islamic Real Estate Investment Trusts stock return in Malaysia
Choo, William Keng Soon
The Islamic Real Estate Investment Trust (i-REIT) serves as an alternative Islamic investment instrument to sukuk and shariah compliant stock, which observes i-REIT experiencing a significant growth and demand in portfolio property value and Islamic market capitalization. The attractiveness of i-REIT has made it to become one of the common real estate investments apart from the physical property investment with a long-term and cheaper capital for property ownership. Likewise, the continual expansion of the i-REIT market in Malaysia is making great financial motivation that expands the investment spectrum. Therefore, the need to study the driving financial and macroeconomic interaction force with i-REIT stock return, which in turn further contributes to the Islamic finance literature. This study was confined to nine study variables and two latent which the financial and macroeconomic factors. The financial factors comprise the long-term bond yield, systematic risk, stock mark.....

The effectiveness of graphic organizers in comprehending literary texts
Ooi, Judy Suan Choo
The implementation of the Literature Component in the new Malaysian syllabus for English Language  provides ample impetus for the promotion of a reading culture and improvement of competence in the  English Language.  Therefore, it is important for ESL students in Malaysia to study literature.  However, this poses problems for most students as a majority of them have not been exposed to any  genre of Literature in their six years of primary education. Thus this study was postulated to  explore whether graphic organizers could be used as a tool in enhancing the learners' comprehension  of literary texts such as a novel.  It also attempts to find out if this teaching strategy could be  utilized in the classroom to promote better comprehension of this literary text. Both the learning  and teaching aspects are essential in this study as there is a wealth of knowledge to be gained  from the proceedings in the classroom. Besides that, this study was conducted over a perio.....
