Effects of determinants for computer use among teachers in Malaysia

Kung Teck Wong, Swee Pauline Choo Goh, Osman Rosma,

Abstract

This study seeks to identify effects of determinants for computers use among teachers in Malaysia. In Malaysia, there is widespread recognition that computer can play a powerful role in supplementing and complimenting the process of teacher’s teaching and learning. Given current recognition of the value of computer integration, as well as the investment costs that technologies represent for schools, this study attempted to develop a model which demonstrates the variables that affect computer use among teachers and which also explain its interactions. The proposed research model is based on previous models of technology acceptance. Three variables (computer teaching efficacy, computer attitude and learning outcomes) were selected to build a model for this study. Methodologically, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used as the main technique for data analysis. The findings support the notion that computer attitudes, computer teaching efficacy and learning outcomes have effects on .....

Student-teachers approaches to learning, academic performance and teaching efficacy

Choo Pauline Goh Swee, Teck Wong Kung, Osman Rosma,

Abstract

Purpose - It is argued that the approaches to learning of students undergoing teacher training are likely to be related to their teaching and learning environment, especially as they move from a more regimented, structured learning environment in school to a tertiary learning environment that encourages more independent thinking and perhaps questions ideas. Therefore, this investigation has an overall goal to use the unique approaches to learning (surface and deep approaches) of students in a teacher preparation program to address the needs of this particular group of students during their teacher education. The study examines the associations between scores on student-teachers’ approaches to learning, their academic performance and teaching efficacy. Methodology – The approach to learning instrument used was the Bahasa Melayu R-SPQ-2F and the teaching efficacy was collected through the Bahasa Melayu Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES). The sample for this study was a total .....

Effects of Fish Amino Acid (FAA) and boron application on growth and yield of Solanum lycopersicum (Tomato) in soil and soilles media

Rosma Che Nordin

Abstract

An application of chemical fertilizers to enhance crop yields by increasing the availability of nutrient has been raised in agriculture sector but excessive consumption of chemical fertilizers recently causing serious environmental problems. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of different liquid organic fertilizers and boron (B) application on growth and yield of tomato in soil and soilless media. There were 2 main experiments in this study. In Preliminary Experiment, there were 16 treatments with 5 replications, including controls, liquid organic fertilizers (fish amino acid [FAA] and shrimp extract [SE]) and B application. In Experiment 2, there were 6 treatments with 4 replications were chosen from the previous experiment. The experiment was designed in a factorial RCBD and data were analyzed by using ANOVA, SPSS software and the differences between treatments mean were compared using Tukey HSD test with significant level (P..
