Kesan penggunaan prosedur pembelajaran kawalan kendiri (self-regulated learning) terhadap pencapaian akademik, kemahiran meta kognitif dan motivasi pelajar politeknik : kajian kes

Pembelajaran Kawalan Kendiri (PKK) merupakan satu strategi pembelajaran efektif yang membantu pelajar untuk kompeten dan mempunyai autonomi dalam diri. Namun, prosedur yang betul bagi mengaplikasikan PKK masih memerlukan penambahbaikan disebabkan oleh pelajar cepat bosan belajar subjek teori. Pelajar juga didapati mengamalkan surface learning, mudah hilang fokus dalam kelas dan tidak cekap dalam mengawal kemahiran meta kognitif. Oleh itu, tujuan kajian ini dilaksanakan adalah untuk membangunkan satu prosedur PKK khusus untuk pelajar politeknik yang mengambil subjek Prinsip Pengurusan dan diuji keberkesanannya terhadap pencapaian akademik, kemahiran meta kognitif dan motivasi pelajar. Terdapat dua (2) fasa telah digunakan dalam kajian ini. Fasa pertama (1) ialah pembangunan prosedur PKK menggunakan analisis dokumen dan model Kemp. Analisis frekuensi telah digunakan dalam fasa ini. Terdapat tiga (3) hasil dapatan kajian daripada fasa pembangunan iaitu Prosedur PKK, Aktiviti Pengajaran dan Rancangan Pengajaran Harian (RPH). Fasa kedua (2) ialah pelaksanaan prosedur PKK menggunakan reka bentuk kuasi eksperimen iaitu ujian pra-pasca bagi kumpulan-kumpulan tidak seimbang. 43 orang pelajar Politeknik Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah (POLISAS) telah dipilih sebagai kumpulan rawatan manakala 38 orang pelajar Politeknik Merlimau (PMM) sebagai kumpulan kawalan. Analisis deskriptif skor min dan analisis inferensi MANCOVA telah digunakan dalam kajian ini bagi menguji perbezaan antara kumpulan kajian. Berdasarkan hasil analisis MANCOVA yang telah dijalankan, didapati wujud perbezaan yang signifikan secara statistik antara kumpulan rawatan dan kawalan bagi pencapaian akademik [F (1, 76) = 24.786, p = .000], kemahiran meta kognitif [F (1, 76) = 14.864, p = .000] dan motivasi [F (1, 76) = 65.148, p = .000]. Kesimpulannya, prosedur PKK terbukti berkesan dan boleh dijadikan panduan kepada pensyarah dalam mengaplikasikan PKK dengan lebih efektif dan berkesan

Preliminary Study: Self-Regulated Learning Procedure

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is widely adopted by various educational institutions all over the world. A simple guideline is important and essential for the successful implementation of SRL that yields good results. Hence, a procedure and lesson plan of SRL for the subject of Principles of Management are developed and tested in a preliminary study. The objective of the preliminary study is to determine the reliability of the instruments so that the implementation procedure and lesson plan for the real study can be executed smoothly. This study was conducted for a cycle of SRL designed procedure. ANCOVA was used to analyse the effects of the procedure and lesson plan in relation to students’ motivation, metacognitive awareness and academic achievement. Based on the results of the preliminary study, the items reliability index using alpha cronbach was 0.92, indicated that the questionnaire was good and effective. Each variable was significantly different, indicated that the procedure and lesson plan have positive effects on motivation, metacognition, and academic achievement. In conclusion, the procedure and lesson plan of Principles of Management developed are ready for an actual study

Exploring the Elements of Integrity in Peer Assessment

Peer assessment is one of the best methods to evaluate group work of students. However, integrity of students as assessors is still questionable. Hence, the purpose of this study is to explore the elements of students’ integrity in carrying peer assessment. The qualitative approach using the document analysis and interviews is used to explore the elements of integrity in peer assessment. In an effort to increase the acceptance of this evaluation approach, the results show that the student’s integrity in conducting peer assessment consists of three elements, which are self-integrity, integrity in social interaction and work commitment
