Penerapan akidah tauhid dalam kepimpinan pendidikan

This study aims to identify the principles of tauhid in the leadership practices of the principals of SMKA, (Malaysian National Religious School). This qualitative study uses interviews and observation as data collection instrument. Chosen by cluster sampling, respondents in this study were eight principals that represented the schools in western and northern zones of Peninsular Malaysia. The findings showed that these SMKA principals successfully inculcate the principles of tauhid in their leadership through various school activities involving the whole school community. It was also found that the school environment that was created through the teachings of Islam as a way of life has been able to improve the school pupils’ self-esteem and leadership

Understanding Malaysian ESL learners' orientation to a computer-mediated communication L2 task : A socio-cultural perspective

This in-depth qualitative case study investigates Malaysian ESL learners' orientation to an asynchronous computer mediated communication (aCMC) L2 task: their interpretation of the task, perceptions, and experiences in the task. This study also examines the factors that may provide explanations for the similarities and differences in the learners' orientation to the online L2 learning task. Framed by Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory of teaming and development, a central argument of this study is that learning is a process involving an overlapping, intertwining, and complex network of factors encompassing both the individuals and the collective nature of the group of individuals that make up the community of L2 learning.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo

Use of learning resources on the World Wide Web (WWW) among UTM Students In Project Based Learning for English Academic Purpose

This research is a survey on the use of learning resources on the World Wide Web (WWW) for project based learning for the subject English for Academic Communication among UTM students in Skudai, Johor Bahru. 218 UTM students from various faculties were involved in this research. Data were collected using questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicated that in general UTM students used the learning resources on the WWW moderately for their project based learning especially for those students who are currently taking English subject UHB 1322

Development of ESP courseware via the world wide web (WWW): a computational linguistics analysis approach

english language programmes that are being designed to meet specific needs of the learners would benefit not only the learners themselves but also their stakeholders. An example of an English language programme that has been designed to meet the english for Specific Purpose (ESP) needs of Civil Engineering (CE) students of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) is the programme called English for Civil Engineering or ECE. This programme was a three- semester programme that has been planned through very close collaboration between the faculty of Civil Engineering (FCE) and the Department of Modern Languages (DML). The ECE programme ‘rests on the principle that language learning is and should be part of the mainstream CE programme (DML of UTM, 1996). Its ultimate aim was to be able to assist CE students in using English for executing their academic work assigned by their faculty, the FCE. In general, the ECE programme was mainly intended to ‘serve as the foundation of the long term objective of enhancing the marketability of CE graduates by integrating language training into the overall training plans of the FCE’ (DML of UTM, 1996). The ECE programme offered three different courses which are UHB1312, UHB1322, and UHB2332, to the CE students. Although it is subdivided into three courses, that is, one course per semester, the courses should be regarded as a continuous and coherent training scheme. Hence, in general, the ECE programme intends to assist the CE students in extracting information for written and oral communication for both academic and professional purposes. In relation to the second course of the programme, UHB1322, in every phase of the course, the students are required to perform two parallel and complementary types of activities – the core activities and the support activities (also called pedagogic activities). The core activities are activities which would train the CE students to extract information from texts related to Civil Engineering Materials (one of the core topics in Civil Engineering), that are written in English, and consequently, make notes from them. These notes would then be used to write essays and reports related to Civil Engineering Materials (CEM). As for the pedagogic activities of the UHB1322 course, they are activities which lead to and support the core activities of the course. All pedagogic activities such as the reading of texts, vocabulary/glossary work and language exercises, will be related to the topic on Civil Engineering Materials. In relation to the above pedagogic activities, they are very time-consuming as they require several classroom sessions with the language instructor. They also require frequent referencing to an extremely limited number of monolingual and bilingual Civil Engineering dictionaries as well as English CEM textbooks in the UTM library. In order for the CE students to perform the pedagogic activities much more efficiently and efficaciously, a unique self-access courseware that can be accessed via the WWW (World Wide Web, Web or Internet) using the computational linguistic analysis approach, has been designed for the ECE programme in UTM, which will be referred to as ‘UNITEKMA ECE Courseware’. This chapter aims to describe the process of producing the prototype of the above courseware in which its lessons focus both on content words and language structures taken from texts on Civil Engineering Materials. The following sections of this chapter will discuss related literature to the design of the courseware

Model kepimpinan syura menurut al Quran dan al Sunnah yang mendominasi kepimpinan organisasi pendidikan

Kajian ini dijalankan untuk membina model kepimpinan syura berasaskan ayat al-Quran dan Sunah serta meninjau dorongan komitmen kerja menurut dimensi identifikasi, penglibatan dan kesetiaan dalam mewujudkan kepimpinan organisasi pendidikan yang mapan. Kajian ini dijalankan menggunakan kaedah kuantitatif yang melibatkan 200 responden dalam kalangan guru dari 23 buah sekolah agama bergred A di daerah Johor Bahru. Dapatan analisis statistik yang dibuat mengunakan Statistical Package for The Social Science (SPSS) 22.0 menunjukkan elemen keterbukaan, kesepakatan, kepercayaan, amanah, dan nasihat terbina dari ayat al-Quran dan sunah yang mendominasi kepimpinan organisasi pendidikan. Manakala komitmen kerja terdorong melalui dimensi identifikasi, penglibatan dan kesetiaan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan pada nilai Alpha Cronbach yang tinggi 0.932 bagi elemen komitmen kerja tanggungjawab, kerjasama, disiplin, kompetensi, dan hubungan organisasi sebagai impak utama model 419 kepimpinan syura. Secara keseluruhan, dapatan analisis menunjukkan amalan syura amat penting dilaksanakan sebagai dorongan peningkatan komitmen kerja guru terutama dalam institusi pendidikan. Model kepimpinan syura diharap dapat diaplikasikan sepenuhnya dalam arena pendidikan bagi mengungguli kepimpinan Islam menurut teladan sunnah Rasulullah SAW seiring kemajuan dan peradaban dunia yang diredai Allah SWT
