Kajian ini mengetengahkan kaedah Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Berasaskan Tugasan (PPBT) bagi merangsang murid-murid yang terdiri daripada penutur natif Melayu untuk bertutur bahasa Melayu. Dasar kedwibahasaan di Singapura yang menekankan pembelajaran bahasa Inggeris dan satu bahasa ibunda menyebabkan murid-murid yang mengambil bahasa Melayu tidak berupaya bertutur bahasa Melayu. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan meneroka keberkesanan PPBT untuk mengajar kemahiran bertutur bahasa Melayu. Kaedah kuasi eksperimen digunakan bagi mengkaji keberkesanan PPBT untuk mengajar kemahiran bertutur kepada murid sekolah rendah di Singapura. Kajian ini melibatkan murid darjah lima dari dua buah sekolah yang berbeza. Sebuah sekolah dengan murid seramai 30 murid menjadi kumpulan rawatan manakala sebuah sekolah lagi dengan 22 murid sebagai kumpulan kawalan. Kumpulan rawatan menggunakan PPBT dan kumpulan kawalan menggunakan pendekatan konvensional. Ujian pra dijalankan sebelum kumpulan rawatan men.....

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan faktor orientasi strategik, kepimpinan transformasional dan sumber organisasi dengan prestasi aktiviti ekonomi masjid. Pengaruh faktor persekitaran organisasi sebagai pemboleh ubah pengantara turut diuji. Kerangka kerja kajian ini dibina berasaskan Teori Kontingensi yang diintegrasikan bersama Teori Resource Based View (RBV), Prinsip Pembangunan Ekonomi Islam dan Teori Kepimpinan Transformasional. Kajian kuantitatif ini menggunakan soal selidik yang telah dijawab oleh 134 orang wakil jawatankuasa kariah dari lima daerah di negeri Selangor. Data-data telah dikumpulkan berdasarkan kaedah persampelan kawasan (area sampling). Statistik deskriptif dan inferens iaitu Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) digunakan untuk menganalisis objektif kajian. Keputusan ujian hipotesis menunjukkan pemboleh ubah orientasi strategik dan sumber organisasi berhubung secara signifikan dengan prestasi bukan kewangan dengan ni.....

To date, considerable research has been devoted to semipolar (11-22) III-N based-light-emitting diodes due to the high demand for the future generation of high indium adsorption materials. However, higher indium content can generate stacking fault defects and partial dislocation that deteriorate the crystal, morphological, and optical quality. This study describes the effect of indium flux and two-dimensional nanoscale strain periodic alternating superlattices on the surface evolution during the growth of semi-polar (11-22) InGaN light-emitting diodes. Semi-polar (11-22) light-emitting diodes were grown on different templates with and without AlN/GaN strain periodic alternating superlattices. A direct correlation between the surface evolution, crystal quality, and optical properties was demonstrated, suggesting higher indium adsorption with increased crystallinity. Moderate indium flux induced lower surface undulation with intensified photoluminescence emission in the green range. Subs.....

The use of organic materials has become an increasingly important issue in sensing devices in recent times. Phthalocyanine is among the most promising materials in this undertaking. Zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) based microporous device was fabricated and its capacitance was utilized as the sensing mechanism for a humidity sensor. The effect of the electrode gap of the device on the electrical properties was investigated along with the correlation between the device's performances and the morphology of the sensing film. Using the solution-processed spin coating method, the capacitive type humidity sensor devices have been fabricated in a planar geometry of Al/ZnPc/Al with the presence of a microporous template. The size of electrode gaps measured with a surface profiler was 53.00 ± 0.06 μm, 119.00 ± 0.03 μm and 286.00 ± 0.01 μm. The surface morphology was characterized by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray phot.....

Early childhood education is a non-formal education for children under the age of six. In Malaysia, Taska and Tadika are two types of childcare centers that provide early childhood education for young children whose ages range from one to four and from four and six, respectively. The main aim of such centers is to prepare such small children with basic knowledge before receiving a formal education as a first-grader in the primary schools. Premised in this context, this paper discusses the findings of a study that focused on childcare trainees' personal values in building a career in early childhood education. This study used the convergent parallel mixed method involving a survey and interviews, in which 1497 and 159 respondents were selected, respectively. In this study, the researchers used purposive sampling to select a sample of the population of Taska and Tadika operators and teachers and the officers of relevant agencies. The research instruments of this study consisted of a surv.....

Incidences of food contamination often lead to behavioral changes among consumers, and the long-term outcome may jeopardize economic returns to producers. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between food safety concerns, price consciousness, perceived severity, and food repurchase intention in the context of the canned sardine contamination issue in Malaysia. Moreover, the moderating and the mediating impact of perceived severity on repurchase intention are also uncovered in this study. A self-administered survey was distributed to a total of 400 respondents among consumers of canned sardine who had prior knowledge regarding canned sardine contamination. Empirical finding supported that price consciousness is related to repurchase intention. Perceived severity positively moderates the relationship between these two variables. The study results also reveal that, perceived severity fully mediates the relationship between food safety concerns and consumers? repurchase i.....
