Abstract

Literature in Education (LIE) is aimed at enhancing the pupils’ linguistic competence by providing an early beginning to a foundation in literature and literary works.  In 2006, the literature component was introduced to pupils in Malaysian primary schools through two programs: Contemporary Children’s Literature (CCL) and Extensive Reading Program.  The literature program is viewed as a vehicle to provide an early exposure to pupils on literary genres to enhance their understanding and appreciation of people’s cultures, values, and traditions.  The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the provision of support, resources, training, and time allocation in the implementation of children’s literature among upper primary school teachers in Malaysia via the utilization of survey questionnaires, classroom observations and interviews.  This study was conducted in a district in the state of Selangor.  A sample of 56 upper primary school teachers from 19 schools were selected to answer the survey questionnaires.  Interviews were conducted in one selected school in the District.   The school was chosen based on the highest academic performance in the Malaysia Standard Examination for Primary Schools.   Data were analyzed using SPSS version 19, and coded manually.  Findings from survey indicated that 75% of the school management understand the objectives and goals of CCL in order to provide effective support to the program.  Majority of the respondents (82%) agreed that the school management has allowed the English Language Department to manage its own expenses or resources for the program.   Almost three-fourths (71.4%) of the respondents agreed that the provision of training and resources has produced capable and knowledgeable teachers to teach literature. However, the majority of the respondents (76.8%) disagreed that the time allocation provides sufficient time for them to fulfil the requirements of teaching two textbooks in a year.  Interview data confirming the survey data reveal that the respondents were less satisfied with the time allocation to conduct their lesson for literature.

Abstract

Taxonomy can be defined as the naming or classification of an idea or name, according to one discipline. There is a lack of regulation in the concept of vocational education. Vocational education (SMK) cannot fully use Bloom's Taxonomy. Vocational Taxonomy is centered on psychomotor theory which emphasizes aspects of physical movement. However, the purpose of this research is to determine the appropriate Vocational Taxonomy hierarchical structure for SMKN 1 Jeunib. The design of this research is qualitative research which using interview method to assess the perception of the Vocational teacher in terms of determination the Vocational Taxonomy. The sample chosen was SMKN 1 Jeunib, Bireun, Aceh, which selected 54 teachers from all departments. The result presented that the teachers believed Vocational Taxonomy is important for SMK learning and teaching. In addition, the taxonomic function is very important and assisting in teaching and learning, aiding the curriculum preparation and contributing the practical activities. Then also, the taxonomy function is important in measurement and assessment of psychomotor activities. So, the Taxonomy was recommended to related parties (SMK, Polytechnic, Vocational College, or training Institution). The research also stated that there was a need for a link between cognitive and psychomotor aspects. Finally, the students not only mastered the aspects of knowledge but also proficiency.

Abstract

In a world dominated by digitalization, digital intelligence is critical. Digital intelligence is required for education, employment, and active participation in the community. Digitalization has transformed our way of thinking, feeling, and living, and its rapid evolution has made change, which was once the exception, the norm. As a result, change management has emerged as a fundamental skill for people in the 21st century. But far more important than this is the development of digital intelligence, which, to be developed, necessarily requires disruptive education. An online mind map is a visual aid that is becoming extremely prevalent in today's classrooms. Given the importance of empirical research and evaluation, it is perhaps surprising that so little effort has been directed toward the application of online mind mapping among technical students to enhance design thinking. This study aims to examine Malaysian technical students’ perspectives with regards to the use of an online mind map to enhance design thinking. 372 technical students from selected public higher institutions were involved in this study. A quantitative method using an online survey was conducted for the students. The results from questionnaire items and open-ended items were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and thematic analysis. The findings from the study revealed that the technical students agreed that the online mind map helped them enhance their design thinking. The study makes important contributions on how the tool can develop design thinking in technical terms to address IR4.0 needs and produce balanced graduates who are globally competitive. Finally, this study contributes a new framework for technical students’ design thinking.
