    Predicting Physical Activity Behaviours Among Chinese University Students: An Application Of Expanded Health Action Process Approach
    (2024-07)
    Peng, Sanying
    Insufficient physical activity (PA) among Chinese university students has become widespread and is a major cause of their low levels of physical fitness and various health problems. Effectively promoting PA requires accurately identifying psychological determinants and understanding the psychological mechanisms underlying PA formation. This study investigates the intrapersonal and interpersonal psychological predictors of PA behaviours among Chinese university students using the expanded Health Action Process Approach (EHAPA). A stratified random cluster sampling technique was employed to collect survey responses from 1,143 participants across six universities in five cities in southern Jiangsu, China. An explanatory sequential mixed methods design was used, beginning with a quantitative survey followed by qualitative interviews to explain the quantitative findings. For the quantitative research, ANOVA was conducted using IBM SPSS 26 to examine mean score differences in EHAPA constructs across different PA level groups and mindset groups. Structural equation modelling using IBM AMOS 26 evaluated predictors of PA behaviour and the mediating effects of planning. Multiple-group analysis examined the moderating effects of gender, Body Mass Index (BMI), and mindset group on the direct pathways predicting PA behaviour. The results show significant differences in maintenance self-efficacy (MSE), planning, social support (SS), and recovery self-efficacy (RSE) among different PA level groups.

    Baharuddin, Mohd Saharizal Mohd
    Kesukaran dan cabaran dalam pembelajaran kimia menjadi punca pelajar tidak memilih aliran sains pada peringkat pengajian lanjutan dan mengakibatkan kemerosotan bekalan bakat STEM dari sekolah yang tidak sepadan dengan ledakan kemajuan teknologi dan Revolusi Industri. Kajian ini mengetengahkan STEM Metaverse (STEM-MV) dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran asid bes dan garam (ABG) memandangkan pelajar sering mengalami kesukaran untuk memahami konsep ABG. STEM-MV adalah aplikasi pembelajaran menggunakan peranti yang mengandungi persembahan multimedia interaktif, realiti berperantaraan, grafik, video, animasi, makmal maya dan pautan untuk menyampaikan kandungan pembelajaran ABG kepada pelajar secara individu atau berpasangan mengikut kesesuaian tahap pemahaman mereka. Reka bentuk gabungan embedded dengan kaedah eksperimen kuasi digunakan untuk memperoleh data kuantitatif dan kualitatif terhadap 120 orang responden aliran sains tulen iaitu 60 orang Kumpulan Eksperimen dan 60 orang Kumpulan Kawalan serta menggunakan persampelan rawak mudah. Instrumen Ujian Kefahaman Asid Bes dan Garam dan instrumen Kajian Minat Kerjaya STEM digunakan dalam ujian pra dan ujian pasca untuk mendapatkan data kuantitatif keberkesanan STEM-MV terhadap pemahaman konsep ABG dan minat Kerjaya STEM. Data kualitatif diperoleh daripada 10 orang pelajar (5 orang Kumpulan Eksperimen dan 5 orang Kumpulan Kawalan) melalui temu bual pra dan temu bual pasca. Data kuantitatif dianalisis melalui Ujian MANCOVA menunjukkan bahawa xvi STEM MV adalah berkesan bagi meningkatkan pemahaman pelajar dalam ABG dan meningkatkan minat kerjaya STEM. Dapatan kualitatif menyokong dapatan kuantitatif. Kesimpulan

    Mohammed Na’aim, Mohammad Najib
    Kajian ini memperkenalkan permainan pembelajaran GBL STEM-PTTraveller dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran topik Jadual Berkala Unsur (JBU) yang digunakan untuk meningkatkan kefahaman topik JBU dan motivasi pembelajaran kimia di kalangan pelajar tingkatan empat. GBL STEM-PTTraveller yang dibangunkan adalah dalam bentuk permainan papan (board game) yang mempunyai konsep permainan yang menarik dan inovatif serta diintegrasikan dengan elemen STEM Bersepadu. Kajian ini menggunakan reka bentuk gabungan embedded yang melibatkan eksperimen kuasi. Sampel kajian melibatkan seramai 85 orang pelajar tingkatan empat (44 orang kumpulan eksperimen dan 41 orang kumpulan kawalan) daripada sebuah sekolah di daerah Kinta Selatan, Perak. Data kuantitatif didapatkan menggunakan Instrumen ujian kefahaman Jadual Berkala Unsur dan soal selidik motivasi pembelajaran kimia digunakan dalam ujian pra dan ujian pasca. Data kualitatif didapatkan melalui temu bual pra dan pasca daripada 10 orang pelajar (5 dari Kumpulan Eksperimen dan 5 dari Kumpulan Kawalan). Melalui Ujian Multivariat Kovarian (MANCOVA) menunjukkan bahawa GBL STEM-PTTraveller adalah berkesan bagi meningkatkan pemahaman pelajar dalam topik Jadual Berkala Unsur (Wilk’s Lambda = 0.55; F (3,80) = 21.976; p<.05, eta kuasa dua=0.452) dengan 45% keseluruhan varian dalam ujian pasca adalah disebabkan kesan rawatan GBL STEM-PTTraveller.

    The Influence Of Power On Individual Cooperation Development Among Teenagers’ Students In China
    (2024-08)
    Zhang, Lei
    Cooperation is an important manifestation of prosociality (i.e., voluntary thoughts and actions intended to benefit somebody else). Exploring the cooperation development of teenagers can further reveal the development law of their prosociality. Adopting teenagers of different ages as research objects, this study explores the influence of a sense of power on the development of different levels of cooperation (sense of cooperative, cooperative cognition, and cooperative behavior). Research was conducted among teenagers in a middle school, a high school, and a university in Huizhou, Guangdong, China.

    Exploring The Importance Of English Proficiency: An Analysis Of The Intended And Enacted Curriculum Of The Pismp Tesl Programme At The Institute Of Teacher Education
    (2024-09)
    Subramaniam, Nithiavani
    The demand for highly proficient TESL teachers has become a national concern, driven by the widespread issue of poor English proficiency among current English language teachers in Malaysia. In response, in-service teachers who did not meet the required proficiency levels were enrolled in the Professional Up-skilling of English Language Teachers (Pro-ELT) programme. This situation raises questions about the effectiveness of pre-service training in addressing proficiency needs, leading to this study’s focus on the importance of English proficiency within the PISMP TESL programme offered at Institutes of Teacher Education in Malaysia. This qualitative case study aimed to analyse the extent to which English proficiency is prioritised in both the intended and enacted curriculum of the PISMP TESL programme. Content analysis of relevant curriculum documents was conducted to determine how proficiency is explicitly addressed in the intended curriculum. Additionally, semi-structured interviews with six teacher educators and eight student teachers were used to gather insights into the emphasis placed on proficiency in the enacted curriculum. Participants were selected from two Institutes of Teacher Education in Malaysia. The findings reveal that English proficiency is not given significant importance in either the intended or enacted curriculum of the PISMP TESL programme. This research concludes that there is a critical need for policymakers, administrators and teacher educators to re-evaluate and enhance the curriculum.
