TY - JOUR AB - The main objective of this study was to examine whether the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) students were ready to pursue self directing learning as their new learning style. This study applied a quantitative approach using questionnaire as the survey instrument. The instrument was distributed to a sample of 470 final year undergraduate students from Faculty of Information Management (IS), Faculty of Office Management and Technology (OM), and Faculty of Communication and Media Studies (MC) of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). The total response rate was 87.23% or 410 responses. A combination of descriptive statistics, mean ranking, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), were used to analyze the data. On the average, students perceived themselves to be ready with self directed learning style. The component of Positive Orientation to the Future was the most important in contributing to the readiness in self directed learning. The students of OM were relatively the most ready for the new learning style than students ofMC and students of IS and the differences were significant. The findings will be useful to educators and policy makers in universities and those designing Flexible Learning Program for lifelong learning.

Motivation consists of three main components, namely value, expectancy and affect. This study was aimed at investigating motivation differences (1) between students with different prior experiences, namely students with prior experience (SWE) and students without prior experience (SNE), (2) between students of different genders, and (3) between students with interactions of different genders and different prior experiences. This study used a questionnaire that was adapted from The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) involving 182 students which were selected based on the disproportionate stratified random sampling. The study revealed that (1) SWE scores significantly higher than SNE in intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, task value and self-efficacy and significantly lower in test anxiety; (2) Females scored significantly higher than males in extrinsic motivation, task value, control of learning beliefs and self efficacy; and (3) there are no statistically significant differences in all components with the interaction of prior experience and gender. This study suggests that UiTM students have to be categorized according to their prior experiences. Otherwise, some additional Arabic classes need to be carried out for inexperienced students before registering for the actual Arabic classrooms. Learning activities also need to involve students of mixed gender in order to create a collaborative environment and also bridge the motivation gaps between them. AU - Yusri, G. AU - Rahimi, N.M.

It focuses on teachers perception on information literacy practices by teacher-librarians or library media teachers. MJSCs are boarding secondary schools managed by Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), a statutory body in Malaysia that run 42 MJSCs nation-wide and employs a teacher-librarian or library media teacher at each MJSC. Teacher-librarians only teach seven hours per week and spend most of their working hours managing their school resource centres. The objectives of this studv are: to identify the perception of MJSC teachers on the roles of teacher-librarians; to find out the practices of information Literacy by teacher-Librarians in the schools; and to identify the collaborative effort that are being practiced between teachers and teacher-librarians. Respondents are school teachers from four MJSCs in Kedah who are teaching various subjects. The instrument used was adapted from a questionnaire developed by the Council on Teacher Education (C.O.T.E) (2003). From 200 questionnaires distributed, 157 questionnaires were returned. About 47.8% of the teachers were unsure about information Literacy. Many respondents admitted that teacher-librarians have been performing the roles very well but they are unsure of the roles of the teacher-librarians.

Kajian ini meninjau sikap pelajar terhadap pembelajaran kemahiran lisan bahasa Arab di Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) yang merangkumi dua aspek iaitu sikap terhadap pengajaran bahasa dan sikap terhadap bahasa Arab. Objektif kajian adalah untuk meneroka sikap pelajar dari segi kognitif, afektif dan konatif. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif yang melibatkan 21 temu bual, iaitu 13 siri temu bual bersama pelajar dan lapan siri temu bual bersama pensyarah. Pemilihan pelajar dibuat dengan mengambil kira faktor latar belakang pengalaman bahasa Arab dan gugusan fakulti pelajar. Data temu bual yang diperolehi telah ditranskripkan secara verbatim dan diproses menggunakan perisian NVIVO7 bagi mewujudkan tema yang berkaitan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa dari segi kognitif, semua pelajar menyatakan kepentingan bahasa Arab walaupun sebahagian mereka lebih mementingkan subjek yang lain. Persepsi pelajar dari segi kesukaran pula bergantung kepada tahap pengalaman mereka yang terdahulu. Dari segi afektif, semua pelajar menunjukkan sikap yang positif terhadap bahasa Arab, cuma pelajar yang tiada asas menyatakan rasa tidak selesa dengan keadaan kelas yang mencampurkan antara pelajar yang ada asas dengan yang tiada asas. Dari segi konatif, pelajar menunjukkan ketekalan mereka dalam pembelajaran dan ingin terus mempelajarinya pada masa-masa akan datang. Kajian ini mencadangkan agar pendekatan pengajaran yang digunakan perlu sesuai dengan latar belakang pengalaman pelajar. Pendekatan yang sesuai penting kerana ia mempengaruhi pembentukan sikap pelajar seterusnya memberi kesan terhadap prestasi pembelajaran kemahiran lisan bahasa Arab.

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk melihat penggunaan strategi belajar bersama-sama rakan dalam kalangan pelajar dalam konteks kemahiran lisan bahasa Arab di UiTM. Ia berbentuk kajian campuran antara kuantitatif dan kualitatif serta menggunakan instrumen soal selidik pembelajaran kendiri (self-regulated learning) yang diubah suai daripada skala The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) serta temu bual. Seramai 445 orang sampel terlibat dalam soal selidik yang dipilih melalui teknik persampelan rawak berstrata (stratified random sampling). Data kualitatif pula melibatkan 13 siri temu bual bersama pelajar. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa secara keseluruhannya, pelajar menggunakan strategi ini pada tahap yang tinggi. Penelitian terhadap subkomponen strategi ini pula menunjukkan bahawa ia paling banyak digunakan dalam gerak kerja berkumpulan, manakala tahap kesediaan pelajar untuk menerangkan pelajaran kepada rakan serta kesediaan pelajar untuk meluangkan masa untuk berbincang dengan rakan, masih lagi sederhana.

Consequently, various architectural elements of housing units including windows are subject to modification. This phenomenon is evident when 42% of the respondents of this research experienced window replacement in their homes. This study has been undertaken with particular focus on users’ reasons for having flexible windows. To achieve this, quantitative surveys were carried out among staff members of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. The results indicate 74.4% of the users, spread among various social groups, are enthusiastic about having flexible windows installed in their houses. Consideration of this demand for flexible windows reveals that personalized housing and the various levels of environmental comfort shows parallelism. Flexible windows are in demand to fulfil physical and psychological housing needs. By linking the user’s needs to flexible windows, user-congruence environment, hence propagation of sustainable living environment will be improved.

One of the steps to improve students’ quality is to understand their learning approach. Thus, the aims of this research are: to determine the impact of students’ learning approaches on their academic performance, to rank the learning methods and learning environments preferred by them. The instruments used are the Revised SPQ, and Jarvis and Woodrow’s learning environments and methods. The subjects (N = 400) of this study were undergraduates students of Universiti Teknologi MARA Sarawak. The survey used self-administered questionnaire. The key findings were: students using deep learning approach performed better academically than those using surface learning approach; lecture, and hearing and explanation are preferred by most students. In line with the findings, program management and academician need to tailor their teaching with students’ specific needs. Furthermore, program management needs to plan intervention programs – such as effective study skills – to encourage students to be more independent, learn in groups and be more resourceful learners.
