Mohd Zuri Ghani — 2024-11-29

Challenging behavior in educational settings presents significant concerns for teachers and students alike, impacting the learning environment and overall educational experience. This literature review examines the definitions and contexts of challenging behavior, identifying it as any conduct that disrupts learning or poses risks to students and their peers. The review highlights the multifaceted nature of challenging behaviors, often associated with conditions such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), and various psychological and environmental factors. Effective management strategies are crucial for educators to foster a safe and productive classroom atmosphere. The review discusses the importance of early identification and intervention, emphasizing the role of Positive Behavior Support (PBS) and token economy systems in promoting prosocial behaviors. It concludes that while challenging behaviors can be altered through targeted approaches, collaboration among educators, students, and families is essential to mitigate these issues and enhance student well-being and academic success.

Exploring Student Emotional Experiences In Mathematics And Statistics Courses Via Online Learning

Suriana Ishak — 2024-11-29

Online learning is now generally acknowledged and seen as a crucial strategy for overcoming the drawbacks of on-campus instruction, particularly in higher education. Online learning adaptability provides students with a wide range of placement options, from on-the-go placements in the midst of their daily lives to dedicated time and space for learning. Since student emotional involvement has been linked to learning and academic success, it is crucial to investigate student emotions. Therefore, this study uses a factor analysis approach to explore the emotional experiences of all Universiti Poly-Tech Malaysia (UPTM) students that enrolled in Mathematics and Statistics courses for the academic semester of April 2022. The students have completed a survey-adapted version of the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire (AEQ-S) consisting of 24 items that surveyed emotional experiences before, during and after online classes. Demographic information was collected, encompassing variables like cumulative grade point average (CGPA), online learning tools, internet stability and measurement of students' enjoyment, pride, anxiety, anger, hopelessness, and boredom. A ten-point Likert scale ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree" measured the respondents' agreement with each item. The result demonstrated that emotions towards an online-based learning system are multifaceted, with three components explored, namely "Frustration and Disengagement", "Motivation and Achievement", and "Anxiety and Apprehension".

Mainstream School Teacher Understanding and Acceptance of Inclusive Education in Malaysia.

Mohd Zuri Ghani — 2024-11-29

This study examines mainstream school teachers' understanding and acceptance of inclusive education in Malaysia, involving a sample of 300 teachers. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through the Inclusive Practice Questionnaire and analysed using descriptive, frequency, correlation, and regression analyses. The results reveal that mainstream teachers face significant challenges in adhering to Malaysia's Special Education Needs (SEN) policy, including insufficient resources, large class sizes, inadequate training, and unclear policy guidelines. Although difficulties with parental involvement were noted, they were less significant compared to other challenges. The findings align with existing literature, which identifies insufficient training and resource limitations as primary barriers to effective policy implementation. However, some studies suggest that improved school leadership, collaboration, and teaching practices could alleviate these challenges despite resource constraints. Addressing these issues necessitates clearer policy directives, better resource allocation, reduced class sizes, and ongoing professional development for educators. Enhanced guidance and support systems are crucial for making Malaysia's SEN policy more effective and ensuring successful inclusive education.

The Impact of Reading Comprehension Challenges On Vocabulary Acquisition In Tesl Students

Fadhila Ahmad — 2024-11-29

This study examines the impact of reading comprehension challenges on vocabulary acquisition among TESL students at a selected tertiary institution. Reading is a fundamental skill that influences other language abilities, such as writing, speaking, and listening. However, TESL students at this institution encounter significant difficulties in reading comprehension, which hinder their ability to acquire new vocabulary effectively. The research aims to identify the most problematic reading skills for these students and analyze how these challenges affect their vocabulary development. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, with data collected via a questionnaire distributed to TESL students using Google Forms. The responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics in Microsoft Excel 2019 to uncover patterns and trends. Preliminary findings suggest that students struggle with key skills such as decoding, inferencing, and the application of metacognitive strategies during reading tasks. These challenges are expected to have a detrimental effect on their vocabulary growth. The study’s findings aim to contribute to TESL education by informing curriculum design and teacher training programs. By addressing these reading comprehension difficulties, educators can support improved language proficiency and academic outcomes for TESL students.
