Developing an Instrument for Assessing University Students’ Engagement in Hybrid Learning
type: item
description: Practices of online and hybrid teaching and learning remain ambiguous across universities. This situation has encouraged research focusing on the effectiveness of their implementation and the strategies used in conducting hybrid teaching and learning. Hybrid teaching and learning enable simultaneous instruction through both in-person and remote methods. Such flexibility introduces new opportunities for students and represents a novel educational approach for university courses. In response, universities have begun developing and implementing criteria for hybrid instruction. However, hybrid teaching and learning are in early stages; additional validated criteria are required. There are limited instruments available to assess these criteria and the factors necessary for effective hybrid teaching and learning. This paper aims to develop a robust instrument to evaluate current hybrid learning engagement in hybrid classrooms. The proposed instrument has been tested and validated across a set of 29 items. Reliability and validity were established. For the reliability test, the values of Cronbach’s Alpha range from 0.84 to 0.94. For the validity test, factor analysis presents factor loadings ranging from 0.55 to 0.88. The instrument is ready for assessing students’ engagement in terms of skills, emotion, participation, and performance. It provides opportunities for students and lecturers with guidance and direction towards high engagement.

The Effectiveness of Google Read Along in Enhancing Reading Skills Among Primary ESL Learners
type: item
description: Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered reading applications are increasingly being used to support English as a Second Language (ESL) literacy development. This mixed-methods, one-group pre-test–post-test study examined the effectiveness of Google Read Along in improving reading fluency and comprehension among Year 5 ESL learners in a mixed-ability classroom in Pasir Gudang, Malaysia. Many learners experience reading difficulties due to varying proficiency levels and limited opportunities for individualised support. To address this issue, Google Read Along was implemented as an AI-powered reading application incorporating automatic speech recognition (ASR), immediate feedback, and guided reading support. Thirty purposively selected pupils participated in a six-week intervention comprising 18 sessions, each lasting 30 minutes and conducted three times per week. The quantitative findings showed significant improvements in both reading fluency and comprehension. These results were further supported by teacher observations and learner questionnaires, which indicated increased motivation, engagement, and confidence. Pupils also reported more positive perceptions of reading than with traditional Big Book shared reading. However, because the study employed a one-group design without a control group, the findings should be interpreted with caution. Future studies using experimental designs are recommended to provide stronger evidence of the intervention's effectiveness. A quantitative research design employing a pre-test and post-test approach was conducted with thirty Year 5 pupils who participated in thirty-minute reading sessions three times a week over six weeks. The findings indicate improvements in reading fluency and comprehension. Teacher observations and learner feedback further revealed increased motivation, confidence, and engagement. These results suggest that AI-assisted reading tools can support accessible and effective literacy development in diverse classroom …

An Interactive Digital Module for Vocational Bakery Education: Integrating VARK Learning Styles in Angel Food and Chiffon Cake Preparation
type: item
description: In vocational bakery and pastry education, learning the preparation of Angel Food and Chiffon Cake poses considerable problems due to the high sensitivity of the procedures required, especially with egg white foam stability and the folding process. Traditional teacher-centred demonstrations frequently prove inadequate, as students find it challenging to perceive nuanced texture variations and lack adaptable learning materials for autonomous review. This project intends to create an interactive digital module utilizing the Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic (VARK) learning paradigm, following the ASSURE instructional design framework to overcome existing restrictions. A Design and Development Research (DDR) methodology was utilized, with the module created using Canva. The module's functionality was appraised by five specialists, and its usability was reviewed by 30 Diploma Vokasional Malaysia (DVM) students. The findings indicated a strong consensus among experts over the module's functionality. Student usability findings demonstrated favourable acceptability across all VARK components, with the Read/Write element attaining the highest mean score (M = 3.65), succeeded by Visual (M = 3.61), Kinesthetic (M = 3.58), and Aural (M = 3.53). Furthermore, the efficacy of the module was corroborated by comprehension test outcomes, with 80% of students achieving scores of 70% or above. The findings indicate that the created interactive digital module successfully facilitates self-directed learning and improves students' technical comprehension in TVET culinary education.

A Comparative Study of Social Media Engagement for Learning Arabic Among Lower Secondary School Student
type: item
description: In Malaysia, Arabic language is among the languages offered and commonly taken by lower secondary school students, where Standard Secondary School Curriculum (KSSM) and Integrated Dini Curriculum (KBD) are among the curricula offered. With the evolving development of social media use for language learning, there are lacking number of studies on its use for Arabic language learning among lower secondary school students. The use of traditional approach and teacher-centred learning in Arabic language has persisted for many years, despite the rapid shift towards digitalised learning. This study aims to investigate the statistically significant differences of social media engagement for learning Arabic among lower secondary school students according to KSSM and KBD curriculum. The engagement has been measured across three patterns, namely Critical Cognitive, Social Interactive and Active Language Use. This study applied the quantitative approach using the cross-sectional survey design. An online questionnaire has been distributed to 364 lower secondary school students in Kuala Lumpur, which has been analysed through the independent samples t-test. Results showed that there are no statistically significant differences in social media engagement for learning Arabic between the two types of curricula. This study emphasises the need to encourage the social media engagement for learning Arabic among students regardless of their curriculum, as both types require support for social media as a complementary mode of language learning.

Exploring the Role of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Transforming Mathematics Teaching and Learning: A Systematic Mapping Review
type: item
description: Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), in particular, large language models (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.) have reshaped digital innovation in education. While prior studies have examined specific classroom applications, few studies to date have provided a comprehensive mapping of the empirical research landscape across tools, educational levels, mathematical domains, research designs, and geographical distribution, leaving structural patterns and research gaps insufficiently synthesized. This paper presents a systematic mapping review on the integration of GenAI in mathematics education. Using the PRISMA framework, studies published between 2022 and 2025 (final search conducted in December 2025) were retrieved from Web of Science and Scopus, complemented by a full-text search in ScienceDirect. After screening and eligibility procedure, 30 peer-reviewed empirical articles were included for analysis. The mapping results indicate that ChatGPT is the most frequently examined tool, with research predominantly concentrated at the tertiary education level and focused largely on algebra and calculus topics. Most studies employed qualitative or mixed-method designs, and the majority were conducted in Asia and Europe, reflecting emerging but uneven global research distribution. Thematic analysis was employed to identify commonly reported pedagogical applications, including problem-solving support, content generation, scaffolding, lesson planning, and differentiated instruction, as well as frequently reported challenges such as conceptual errors, limitations in abstract and spatial reasoning, and variability in output quality across platforms. Rather than evaluating effectiveness, this review provides an overview of research trends, identifies concentrations and gaps in the literature, and highlights directions for future empirical and theoretical work on GenAI-supported mathematics education.

Mekanisme Pedagogi dan Pengukuran Kemahiran Proses Sains dalam Pendidikan Sains Sekolah Rendah
type: item
description: Kemahiran Proses Sains (KPS) merupakan asas penting dalam pembelajaran sains kerana menyokong murid membina penjelasan berasaskan bukti, dan bukan sekadar mengingat fakta. Walau bagaimanapun, literatur semasa masih menunjukkan ketidakjelasan tentang mekanisme pedagogi yang paling konsisten menyokong pembangunan KPS, di samping wujud heterogeniti dari segi pengukuran, indikator, dan pelaporan dapatan, khususnya dalam konteks sekolah rendah. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan Systematic Literature Review (SLR) untuk mensintesis bukti kajian terkini berkaitan intervensi pengajaran dan pembelajaran sains serta amalan pengukuran KPS dalam kalangan murid sekolah rendah. Berpandukan protokol PRISMA 2020, carian sistematik dalam pangkalan data Scopus dan Web of Science bagi tempoh 2020 hingga 2025 menghasilkan 18 artikel akhir untuk sintesis tematik. Dapatan menunjukkan empat tema utama, iaitu: (1) teknologi sebagai sokongan terhadap pelaksanaan KPS, (2) pedagogi inkuiri berstruktur untuk mengaktifkan KPS, (3) kontekstualisasi budaya dan komuniti dalam pengukuhan KPS, dan (4) penilaian, diagnostik, dan peluang pembelajaran KPS. Secara keseluruhan, sintesis ini menunjukkan bahawa kekuatan dapatan berkaitan KPS lebih tepat difahami melalui ciri reka bentuk pedagogi, termasuk scaffolding, urutan tugasan, dan pemodelan langkah inkuiri, serta melalui kejelasan pengukuran dan keterwakilan peluang latihan dalam sistem pembelajaran. Kajian ini menyumbang dengan memperjelas bahawa pengukuhan KPS tidak wajar dinilai berdasarkan label pendekatan semata-mata, tetapi perlu dibaca melalui hubungan antara mekanisme pedagogi, pengukuran, dan konteks pelaksanaan. Implikasinya, pembangunan intervensi dan bahan PdP pada masa hadapan perlu memberi perhatian yang lebih sistematik kepada kejelasan indikator KPS, kesahan instrumen, dan peluang latihan yang seimbang dalam konteks sekolah rendah. ABSTRACT Science Process Skills (SPS) are fundamental to science learning because they s…

Immersive Virtual Reality in Geoscience Education: Effects on Conceptual Understanding, Spatial Reasoning, and Student Engagement
type: item
description: Virtual Reality (VR) has the potential to enhance geoscience education by enabling students to explore subsurface processes that are difficult to visualise using conventional teaching methods. This study describes the development and classroom implementation of an immersive VR learning module focused on geomechanics topics such as stress–strain behaviour, elastic deformation, and pore–fluid interactions, using Malaysian reservoir contexts. The study employed a one-group pre–post instructional design involving 40 final-year petroleum geoscience students at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. Data were collected through conceptual assessments administered before and after the VR session, a post-activity Likert-scale questionnaire, and short written reflections. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative responses were examined thematically. The results indicate high levels of student engagement and enjoyment, strong preference for VR-based learning compared to traditional lectures, and noticeable improvements in spatial understanding of geomechanics concepts. These findings suggest that immersive VR can serve as an effective complementary approach for supporting conceptual learning and student motivation in higher-education geoscience programmes.

Inquiry-Based Learning and Technology-Integrated Final Year Projects: A Case Study on Vocational Students at Kolej Vokasional Batu Lanchang
type: item
description: Final Year Projects (FYP) in vocational education are intended to function as authentic learning experiences that integrate theoretical knowledge, technical competencies, and digital technologies. However, their effectiveness in fostering systematic inquiry skills and technology literacy remains inconsistent, particularly when supervision practices are predominantly product oriented. Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) offers a learner-centred pedagogical approach that emphasises problem identification, investigation, and reflective learning, yet empirical evidence on its application within technology-integrated vocational FYP from a student perspective remains limited. This study examines vocational students’ perceptions of inquiry-based and technology-integrated Final Year Projects at Kolej Vokasional Batu Lanchang using a quantitative case study design. Data were collected from final-year vocational students through a structured questionnaire measuring inquiry engagement, technology literacy, perceived learning outcomes, and learning readiness. Descriptive and inferential analyses revealed high levels of inquiry engagement and moderate to high development of technology literacy, particularly in problem identification, digital tool utilisation, and reflective learning. Pearson correlation analysis further indicated a significant positive relationship between inquiry engagement and perceived technology literacy outcomes. Descriptive and inferential analyses revealed high levels of inquiry engagement and moderate to high development of technology literacy. Pearson correlation analysis indicated a significant positive relationship between inquiry engagement and perceived technology literacy (r = 0.68, p < 0.01, n = 30), suggesting a strong association between structured inquiry processes and technology-related learning outcomes. However, the findings should be interpreted with caution due to the small sample size and the case-based design, which may limit generalisability.

Game-Based Learning Innovation in Mathematics: Evaluating Student Experiences with Trigonometric PowerPoint Games
type: item
description: This study evaluates an innovative PowerPoint game targeting basic trigonometric identities and angle-finding skills to improve students’ learning engagement. Traditional trigonometric instruction presents significant challenges, with students struggling to connect abstract concepts to practical applications and master fundamental identity relationships. To address these learning difficulties, we developed an accessible game-based solution using PowerPoint, incorporating interactive identity verification exercises, visual angle measurement activities, and immediate feedback mechanisms for enhanced accuracy. A descriptive statistical approach assessed 35 diploma students' feedback and performance using a 12-item Likert scale. All items scored above 4.3 on a 5-point Likert scale, indicating strong favourable reactions. Students strongly agreed that the game helped them recognize and fix mistakes (Mean = 4.68, SD = 0.57) and kept them actively interested in the class (Mean = 4.55, SD = 0.60), demonstrating effective engagement and reflective learning promotion. High scores were observed for enjoyment, retention, and problem-solving capabilities. Items related to peer collaboration and game adaptability received slightly lower scores, suggesting enhancement opportunities for future iterations. The PowerPoint-based interface made abstract trigonometric ideas interactive, with students reporting enhanced confidence in identity manipulation and angle measuring procedures, providing useful insights for mathematics education innovation while maintaining practical classroom implementation feasibility.

type: item
description: Academic writing practices in education have changed significantly since the advent of artificial intelligence. AI technologies provide new possibilities for fostering student learning, feedback mechanisms, and student engagement. However, studies of AI supported academic writing are still scattered in the education literature and have yet to be synthesized. Within this context, the present study adopts a bibliometric approach to explore research trends, thematic developments and the evolving knowledge structure of AI for academic writing. English-language journal articles published between 2022 and 2026 were identified through an initial Scopus search, after which 397 articles were retained for analysis. Scopus Analyser was used to identify publication trends and descriptive statistics, OpenRefine to clean and standardise bibliographic data and VOSviewer to visualise author collaboration networks, international research collaborations and keyword co-occurrence patterns. The results show a significant growth in publishing capacity after 2022 in line with the rapid development of generative AI technologies. Publication output and international collaborations are concentrated in China and the United States. Keyword co-occurrence analysis shows that the core thematic clusters include academic writing, formative feedback, metacognitive support, argumentation development and academic integrity. Although research on AI-supported academic writing has grown rapidly, attention to discipline-specific writing contexts is still relatively limited. Overall, the results suggest that AI can be leveraged to enhance academic writing pedagogy through technology integration, streamlined feedback mechanisms and greater student participation. Effective implementation still relies on informed direct instruction, ethics around AI use and the creation of AI toolkits to meet academic writing goals. This paper provides a systematic overview of previous research and evidence-based considerati…

Enhancing Primary Students’ Conceptual Understanding of Density Using a 3D-Printed Teaching Aid
type: item
description: Teaching and learning in primary science often involve abstract ideas that are challenging for young learners to visualise and understand. One such challenge is explaining why objects float or sink, as students frequently rely on intuitive reasoning based on size or weight. This study examined the effectiveness of a 3D-printed teaching aid, Density Puzzle, in supporting Year Three students’ understanding of floating and sinking phenomena. A quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test non-equivalent control group design was employed. One group received prevailing instruction, while the experimental group engaged in inquiry-based learning activities using Density Puzzle. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to both groups, and the data were analysed using non-parametric statistical tests. The results showed significant improvements in students’ understanding within both groups. Although no statistically significant difference was found between groups in post-test scores, the experimental group demonstrated a larger median learning gain (25.00%) compared to the control group (12.50%). These findings suggest that while prevailing instructional approaches can effectively support learning, the integration of 3D-printed teaching aids may further enhance students’ understanding through hands-on exploration and inquiry. The study highlights the potential of practical and accessible teaching aids to support more effective teaching and learning of this topic in primary science classrooms.

Designing a STEAM-Based Ethnophysics Model to Strengthen Digital Literacy and Self-Regulated Learning
type: item
description: Digital transformation requires students who can critically evaluate information, collaborate online, and create digital products responsibly, yet technology-rich instruction often lacks explicit digital literacy (including foundational computer literacy) and self-regulated learning (SRL) scaffolds. This paper proposes the ESED (Ethnophysics-based STEAM model for digital literacy and SRL) instructional model, which integrates local Ethnophysics phenomena with STEAM design challenges to develop assessable digital competence and SRL in secondary science. Using an educational design research (design-and-development) logic, recent evidence on STEAM, SRL, and the DigComp 2.2 framework was synthesized and translated into six iterative phases: Cultural Anchoring; Inquiry & Data Literacy; STEAM Design Challenge; Digital Production; Reflection & Regulation; and Dissemination & Civic Action. Each phase specifies teacher roles, learner activities, digital tools, and assessment indicators aligned with DigComp competence areas and SRL cycles. Practical supports include a topic–phenomenon mapping, an assessment matrix, and an illustrative unit plan. As a design-product report, this paper does not present classroom trial data; instead, it offers a transparent blueprint intended for expert review and future empirical validation.

Prompt Engineering Frameworks and Their Educational Value in Higher Education
type: item
description: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping how students and educators access, construct, and evaluate knowledge. Central to this interaction is the prompt, which is the structured natural language input that steers large language models (LLMs). While prompt engineering is increasingly discussed in higher education, there is limited synthesis of how concrete prompt engineering frameworks and prompt patterns add educational value. This review analyses five key studies that offer explicit structures for prompting. These include a prompt pattern catalogue for LLM-based software development, a prompt pattern sequence for software architecture decision-making, an empirical study of student translators’ prompting behaviours, an automatic question generation system grounded in a teacher knowledge base, and an MCQ generation framework that integrates retrieval-augmented generation with chain-of-thought and self-refine prompting. The paper is guided by a single research question that examines what forms of educational value these frameworks demonstrate or imply for teaching, assessment, and curriculum design. The integrative analysis shows that such frameworks scaffold the teaching of prompt design, support AI-assisted assessment while maintaining quality, and position prompt engineering as a transversal curriculum competence. At the same time, evidence of intuitive and uninformed student prompting underscores the need for explicit, structured instruction and further research on assessing prompt engineering skills.

Decoupling Personalised and Adaptive Learning in AI-Enhanced Education: A Narrative Review and Conceptual Clarification
type: item
description: Personalised learning and adaptive learning are often treated as the same idea in AI-enhanced education, even though they represent different pedagogical purposes. This narrative review examines ten contemporary studies, including work on intelligent tutoring systems, adaptive platforms, multi-agent AI, and human-centred AI frameworks, in order to clarify the distinction between these two concepts. The review shows that personalised learning involves intentional, human-centred customisation based on learner goals, preferences, identity, and context. In contrast, adaptive learning relies on algorithmic, real-time adjustments based on performance data. While AI systems are increasingly sophisticated in adaptivity, they rarely achieve genuine personalisation, often limiting learner agency and overlooking socio-emotional or cultural dimensions. This review also introduces a conceptual model that positions personalisation and adaptivity as related but distinct constructs requiring different pedagogical intentions, data models, and levels of human oversight. Understanding this distinction is essential to prevent misinterpretation, guide responsible AI adoption, and ensure that automation supports rather than replaces human judgement. The paper concludes with recommendations for educators, instructional designers, and AI developers to integrate AI in ways that are transparent, ethical, and centred on meaningful learner autonomy.

Designing an AI-Resilient Assessment Framework in Open and Distance Learning
type: item
description: The emergence of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini has disrupted long-established ideas about teaching, learning, and assessment in higher education, especially within the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) context. Evidence from recent literature shows that traditional assessment formats, particularly take-home assignments and written tasks, are increasingly vulnerable to AI automation, which subsequently raises significant concerns about academic integrity. This conceptual paper proposes the AI-Resilient Assessment Framework (ARAF), a theoretically grounded framework that positions AI not as a threat but as a catalyst for higher-order learning. By synthesising evidence from GenAI assessment reviews, AI policy studies, authentic assessment strategy, and research on AI literacy, ARAF introduces three core principles, namely Transparency, Reflection, and Authenticity, supported by a set of Institutional Enablers. The framework shifts assessment design away from policing AI use and toward fostering ethical engagement, metacognitive reasoning, contextual judgement, and real-world performance. It offers both practical and theoretical guidance for ODL institutions that aim to implement sustainable, ethical, and future-ready assessment strategies within an AI-enhanced learning environment.

Improving Learning Activity and Concept Mastery in Physics for 12th Grade Students Using a Virtual Lab (PhET Simulation)
type: item
description: The Virtual Lab is one of the flagship products resulting from advances in information technology and laboratory development. By using a Virtual Lab, students can utilize laboratory equipment that cannot be physically presented and meet learning needs when teaching aids are unavailable. The use of the Virtual Lab is expected to enhance student learning activity and mastery of physics concepts for 12th-grade students during the odd semester at SMAN 1 Punduh Pedada. Following the implementation of learning activities using the Virtual Lab from one cycle to the next, the average student activity score increased from Cycle I to Cycle II. In Cycle I, the average student activity score was 84.08, categorized as active, while in Cycle II it rose to 89.34, also in the active category. Students’ average concept mastery score also increased by 14.16 points, from an average of 66.62 in Cycle I to 80.78 in Cycle II. This improvement occurred because students found it easier to understand concepts explained by the teacher through the Virtual Lab. However, there were still some students whose concept mastery remained at a fair level, and only slight improvements were seen in several subtopics tested. This may be due to students’ weaknesses in mathematical operations when solving test problems. Based on the average scores of student activity and concept mastery tests, it can be concluded that learning using the Virtual Lab can improve students’ mastery of physics concepts.

description: In this study, the creativity of physics education students was analyzed through a descriptive qualitative approach while they designed and produced simple physics products using simulation videos and Problem-based Project Learning (PJBL). This study focused on the application of the principles of thermodynamic energy and renewable energy in the construction of water-powered toy cars. Students took part in PJBL that included the watching of simulation videos that were designed to explain difficult physics concepts so as to motivate creative solutions. Participant observation, interviews, and documentation of student reports, sketches, and prototypes were used as data collection methods. Meeting the four creativity criteria: originality, fluency, flexibility, and elaboration drove the analysis. Findings indicate that simulation videos enhanced thermodynamic process visualization and re-imaginative processes, increasing originality. PJBL enhanced flexibility, elaboration, and creativity by prompting invention, strategic adaptation, and design refinement. This study shows the effectiveness of instructional simulation as a technique coupled with PJBL to foster creativity, understanding of concepts, and problem solving skills among learners in science education. The results suggest that these educational methods can improve student engagement and inspire innovative thinking.
