MODEL KESIHATAN MENTAL REMAJA LUAR BANDAR DI MALAYSIA
type: item
description: Di Malaysia, remaja merupakan kelompok yang sering dikaitkan dengan isu kesihatan mental akibat kurang daya tindak dan terdedah dengan tekanan. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk membina model khusus kepada kesihatan mental remaja, dan ianya berfokus kepada remaja luar bandar. Jika kita lihat, isu remaja di luar bandar menjadi satu agenda penting pembangunan negara kerana mereka sering dikaitkan dengan penglibatan dengan gejala-gejala negatif yang sering menjadi perhatian pihak kerajaan Malaysia. Kajian ini telah melibatkan 385 orang remaja luar bandar daripada Zon Utara Semenanjung Malaysia yang secara sukarela dan mereka telah dipilih menggunakan teknik persampelan bertujuan. Dalam kajian ini, empat alat ukur yang releven dengan isu kesihatan mental remaja telah digunakan iaitu, Skala Kesejahteraan Psikologi oleh Ryff dan Keyes (1995), Skala COPE oleh Carver (1997), Inventori Emosi Bar-On oleh Bar-On (1997) dan Skala Ketara Sedar oleh Brown dan Bryan (2003). Melalui item-item daripada alat ukur ini, pengkaji telah membentuk pelbagai dimensi model menggunakan keadah analisis faktor (exploratory factor analysis). Setelah itu, pengesahan dan kesepadanan data yang diperolehi diukur menggunakan confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) bagi membentuk satu model pengukuran. Berdasarkan analisis kajian, terdapat tujuh faktor yang terbentuk mewakili dimensi kesihatan mental remaja luar bandar iaitu (i) emosi, (ii) penyelesaian masalah (problem -solving), (iii) kesejahteraan intelektual (intellectual wellness), (iv) kerohanian (spirituality), (v) penglibatan sosial (social engagement), (vi) resiliensi dan (vii) tingkah laku (behavioral). Ketujuh-tujuh dimensi model yang terbina ini mewakili mekanisma remaja bertindak dalam menghadapi cabaran isu kesihatan mental. Elemen ini juga dipercayai mampu menjadi pemangkin kepada mengurangkan keterlibatan remaja luar bandar kepada risiko gangguan mental dalam menjalani kefungsian kehidupan. ABSTRACT In Malaysia, youth is a group often as…

COMBATING DRUG AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE AMONG ‘PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL’ LEARNERS IN WATERFALLS DISTRICT, HARARE, ZIMBABWE
type: item
description: The study investigates the causes of drug and substance abuse and proffers workable solutions to overcome the challenge within the private high school environment in Zimbabwe. The researchers used a qualitative research design and data collection method in the form of semi-structured interviews. The participants of this study involved five private high school learners, three private high school teachers and two headmasters from Waterfalls, Harare, Zimbabwe. Data was thematically analyzed. The study established that private high school administrations are neglecting the fundamental pillars of education, thereby compromising the standard of moral fiber in learners. Nonprocedural enrollment policies, lack of weekend and holiday rest and no sporting activities were established as the key causal factors of drug and substance abuse among learners in private high schools. The study concludes that the unconducive learning environment in private high schools in Zimbabwe is fertile ground for learners to succumb to drug and substance abuse usage. Whereas on the contrary, learners should have time to relax, play sports, and engage in creative activities. Therefore, this study recommends the enforcement of standardized healthy living principles of practice in private high schools in Zimbabwe.

ISLAMIC FAMILY LAW ON POLYGAMOUS MARRIAGE IN MALAYSIA: BETWEEN ROSES AND THORNS
type: item
description: Marriage is a way of gaining a peaceful mind and soul, be it monogamous or polygamous marriage. This is the sweetness of marriage as enshrined by Islam. To achieve this wisdom, conditions laid down by the religion and legal requirements must be observed. Otherwise, a marriage may turn into a miserable and thorny life for couples, especially in polygamy. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to disseminate legal knowledge and refine the understanding about polygamous law in Malaysia. The central arguments of this study are two-pronged: (1) to deliberate on the Malaysian legal framework for polygamous marriage and (2) to discuss a crucial legal issue related to polygamy, namely cross-border marriage and its effects. The qualitative method of doctrinal legal research was employed to obtain and analyse primary and secondary data from various sources. It included examining the statutes and decided cases of the Syariah Courts, including reported and unreported cases. The relevant statutes studied were the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984 and the Enactment of Islamic Family Law (Kedah Darul Aman) 2008. In substantiating arguments, data from e-Syariah Version 3 (ESV3) was used together with existing literature. The findings revealed that refusal or failure to comply with legal requirements pertaining to polygamous marriage may lead to cross-border marriage and its aftermath effects on the legality of the marriage, jurisdiction of the court, and the rights of wives and children in the context of law. Hence, the enforcement of existing laws on polygamy should be emphasised to control any abuse of power by a man to contract a polygamous marriage. More importantly, the laws and enforcement should be strengthened to protect the rights of the wives and children. Future research may focus on issues involving the rights of the wives and children of a polygamous marriage upon the death of the husband or father according to Islamic family law in Malaysia and its impleme…

PROPERTY PURCHASE: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES FACING BY FIRST HOUSE BUYERS IN MALAYSIA DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC (YEAR 2020-2022)
type: item
description: This article intended to identify issues and challenges facing by first house buyers when they are buying first house in Malaysia. The results from this article can provide insights to related stakeholders in helping first house buyers to come up with better policies. With the development of the economy, housing prices are still unaffordable and are gradually rising every year. However, household income has not increased accordingly, which is the main problem affecting Malaysians’ difficulty in affording a house. Previously the Malaysian homeownership rate is already declining due to the expensive house price where the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a severe downturn to Malaysia, especially the housing market which has been affected poorly. This article adopted quantitative research method where the primary data was collected through questionnaire surveys. The sample size was determined by referring to Krejcie and Morgan method. The questionnaires are distributed through internet platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp to collect more responses as online survey brings convenience to respondents. 155 responds were collected from the respondents. From the results, unstable financial positions, unemployment rate, difficulty in obtaining loans, and location factors are the first house buyers’ main issues and challenges. These factors required intervention from the government to save the economy through several policies. Since majority of first house buyers are not familiar with the issues and challenges that they need to consider before making the decision to purchase their first house, this article’s outcomes help first house buyers to do decisions by discussing the issues and challenges that need to be considered. Furthermore, the outcomes can be referred to once the first house buyers encounter similar situations as the results can be used as guidance to help them to understand the problems.

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE INTENTION TO USE COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY FOR E-LEARNING AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
type: item
description: The utilisation of gadgets and computer technology has become a significant aspect of e-learning. This condition requires students to use various online platforms for learning purposes. The current study aims to explore the potential factor in explaining the intention to use computer technology during e-learning among private university students. Online questionnaires were distributed to 174 university students from various programmes in a university in Selangor. The items in the questionnaire covered three independent variables: perceived ease of use of technology, perceived usefulness of technology, and computer self-efficacy. The dependent variable is the intention to use computer technology in e-learning. Pearson Correlation was used to assess the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Furthermore, Hierarchal Multiple Regression analysis was used to determine the predictor of the intention to use computer technology. The result showed that the intention to use computer technology for e-learning was significantly related to technology’s perceived ease of use, usefulness, and computer self-efficacy. However, when computer self-efficacy is controlled, students’ intention to use computer technology is driven by their perceived notion that technology is easy to use and usefulness of the technology. The study concludes that when students perceive technology as easy to use and sense its practicality, they will have a stronger intention of using technology for learning. This research implies that a systematic strategy should be practised by integrating computer technology into teaching and learning in the current situation. Future studies could further explore the potential of differences across students’ backgrounds towards e-learning.

type: item
description: Usahawan sering berhadapan dengan cabaran dan rintangan dalam menguruskan perniagaan. Maka, usahawan harus merancang, mengurus, mengelola dan melaksanakan strategi perniagaan dengan efisyen, cekap dan berkesan. Ketika pandemik Covid-19 melanda dunia, Malaysia juga turut terkesan dengan wabak ini sehingga berlakunya krisis ekonomi yang mencabar. Bagi perusahaan kecil dan sederhana (PKS) pula, keadaan pandemik ini sudah pasti memberi cabaran utama terhadap aliran pendapatan perniagaan kerana operasi perniagaan terpaksa dihentikan sepanjang tempoh Peraturan Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) yang dilaksanakan oleh kerajaan dalam membendung wabak ini. Kertas kerja ini membincangkan cabaran dan permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh usahawan ketika tempoh PKP yang dilaksanakan oleh kerajaan. Kaedah pengumpulan data secara kualitatif telah dilakukan melalui temubual secara atas talian dan bersemuka terhadap sepuluh (10) usahawan kecil yang menjalankan perniagaan madu kelulut di Daerah Sik, Kedah. Seterusnya, penyelidik juga telah memperolehi maklumat berkaitan usahawan tentang cabaran yang dihadapi melalui temubual bersemuka. Hasil dapatan mendapati usahawan kecil menyatakan tempoh pandemik Covid-19 memberi impak negatif terhadap jualan dan aliran pendapatan usahawan PKS. Terdapat lima permasalahan dan cabaran utama yang dihadapi usahawan kecil ketika pandemik Covid-19. Cabaran dan permasalahan tersebut dikategorikan kepada lima klasifikasi utama iaitu masalah pemasaran, masalah pengurusan, masalah pengeluaran, masalah produk dan masalah kewangan. Justeru, usahawan PKS haruslah bijak menangani dan menguruskan perniagaan ketika wabak pandemik daripada segala aspek perniagaan demi kelestarian perniagaan usahawan kecil di Malaysia.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FAMILY COMMUNICATION PATTERN AND YOUTH SELFCONCEPT IN RURAL MALAYSIA
type: item
description: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between family communication patterns and self-concept among youth in rural areas. The sample consisted of 315 participants (150 boys and 165 girls), selected using a simple random sampling technique. The Revised Family Communication Pattern (RFCP) Survey, which has two dimensions - conversational orientation and conformity orientation, was used to measure the relationship between the variables. The Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, which has six dimensions - social, moral, family, ethical, physical, and personal - was also used. Demographic factors such as gender, race, education, and religious affiliation were measured. The results showed significant relationships between family communication patterns for conversational orientation and physical, ethical, personal, family, and social self-concept, with the exception of moral self-concept, which showed medium levels. Additionally, there were significant relationships between conformity orientation and moral and ethical self-concept, and weak relationships with physical, family, and social self-concept. These findings reaffirm the importance of family communication patterns in shaping the selfconcept of youth in rural areas.

HOW DOES ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY REDUCE BURNOUT AMONG ACADEMICIANS FROM MALAYSIAN RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES? A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
type: item
description: The prevalence of burnout among academicians in Malaysian Research Universities (RUs) is a growing concern in contemporary times. The confluence of high job demands, and limited job resources has contributed to heightened levels of burnout among this population. Recognizing the urgency of addressing this issue, the present study conducts a systematic review to examine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in reducing burnout levels among academicians in RUs in Malaysia. Through a comprehensive analysis of relevant literature, a limited number of studies meeting the inclusion criteria were identified and reviewed. The findings of the study demonstrate that ACT holds promise as an effective intervention for decreasing burnout levels among academicians, while simultaneously enhancing psychological flexibility. The implications of this study extend to both scholars and experts invested in mitigating the pervasiveness of burnout among academicians in Malaysian RUs, offering valuable insights for the development of targeted interventions and strategies.

HOUSE OWNING CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS FOR MALAYSIAN FIRST HOME BUYERS IN THE POSTCOVID- 19 PANDEMIC ERA
type: item
description: This study intended to identify the factors and solutions that help first home buyers successfully purchase their first home after the COVID-19 pandemic where the current issues and challenges faced by first home buyers in Malaysia should be investigated. The housing prices are still pricey and the prices are progressively rising every year, as the economy develops. However, household income has not increased in lockstep, which is the primary cause of Malaysians’ inability to purchase a home. Furthermore, during the COVID-19 pandemic, this scenario intensifies as economic containment tactics have a negative impact on the economy and social aspects. This study adopted a quantitative research method where the primary data were collected through online survey. The survey was conducted through internet platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp to collect more responses as online survey brings convenience to respondents. 155 feedbacks were collected from the respondents. From the results, the personal income has the highest impact on the affordability of respondents to purchase their first property in Malaysia where the respondents think the government should promote more incentives and initiatives in helping youngsters to purchase their first home. The government should emphasize the housing sector development as this sector is linked with social development significantly in term of citizens’ satisfaction level with the government policies. The outcomes can be referred to by first home buyers when they encounter similar situations as guidance to help them understand the problems. Although, the government has implemented several housing measures, including allocating available homes to qualifying homebuyers but it is insufficient. The outcomes can help the solutions developed by the government and private banking companies in resolving and alleviating the challenges reported by first home buyers in Malaysia.

FATHER ABSENCE AND LIFE HISTORY STRATEGY OUTCOMES AMONG MALAYSIAN WOMEN
type: item
description: Understanding about the life history strategy (LHS) of Malaysian women who experienced father absence (FA) during childhood is limited. This systematic literature review (SLR) pursued a narrative synthesis methodology to investigate the links between FA and six life history (LH) decision-nodes constitutive of an individual’s LHS: pubertal timing, number of offspring, first marriage timing, first birth timing, sexual debut age, and sexual partner count in the Malaysian female population. It investigated if these decision-nodes clustered together to lie predictably on the slow-to-fast continuum. On July 17, 2022, APA PsycARTICLES, ICTRP, MEDLINE, CINAHL, ProQuest, CT.gov, Scopus, and Embase were searched for studies published prior to December 2021. One cross-sectional study, involving 567 women was found relevant. The review found that FA at any time in childhood was not linked with pubertal age or number of offspring but only FA experienced during late childhood, not early childhood was associated with a swifter age of getting married and giving birth for the first time. It found that FA did not provoke a grouping of LH decision-nodes that were describable as ‘slow’ and ‘fast’. The review yielded no results on how FA relates to sexual debut age and sexual partner count. The Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool (CCAT) examined risk of bias and found the study to be low-risk. These findings have implications for LH decision-making research, fathering research, extant theories on fathers’ influence on daughters’ psychosexuality, LH theory’s postulation of a slow-to-fast continuum, Malaysian family policies, and Malaysian daughters from father-absent homes.

type: item
description: Setiap tahun Malaysia kehilangan tenaga kerja yang sangat berharga kerana konflik keluarga-kerjaya yang dihadapi oleh wanita-wanita muda yang sudah berkahwin. Banyak kajian mendapati bahawa ibu muda yang bekerja mempunyai kesukaran untuk mengimbangi antara pekerjaan dan kehidupan keluarga (Delina & Raya, 2013; Pradhan, 2016 dan Boushey, 2016). Terdapat pelbagai faktor yang mendorong fenomena tersebut. Faktor-faktor lain yang juga menyumbang kepada masalah ini ialah penyediaan yang tidak cukup dari segi fasiliti, perkhidmatan dan prasarana yang sesuai untuk menyokong keperluan wanita dalam mencapai keseimbangan kehidupan kerja dan pekerjaan. Keseimbangan kehidupan dan pekerjaan adalah penting untuk meningkatkan kebahagiaan serta kualiti hidup keluarga mereka dan seterusnya mempengaruhi produktiviti dan kreativiti mereka dalam pekerjaan.

MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND HELP-SEEKING BEHAVIOUR AMONG MALAYSIAN ACADEMICS
type: item
description: The National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) reported the number of mental health cases among Malaysian aged 16 years and above has shown an increment trend - 10.7% (1996), 11.2% (2006) and 29.2% (2015). In the year 2015 only, 1 in 3 Malaysians have mental health problems. NHMS report in 2019 showed that the occurrence of depression among Malaysian adults is about half a million people. These statistics obviously hinted that something is missing when dealing with mental health issues in Malaysia. Though many studies have been conducted in the past, most are focusing on the causes, and little attention has been given on the aspect of helpseeking in addressing mental health issues. Therefore, this study was done to explore factors that influence individuals to seek help when having mental health problem. To uncover these issues, input from 3 participants were gathered through an online semi-structured interview. Through snowball sampling technique, the participants were invited and willingly to participate in this study. Specifically, 2 participants are the academics from private universities in Malaysia and 1 participant is an academic from a public university in Malaysia. As shared by the participants, the main factor that forces them to seek help is due to not able cope with the problems any longer. On the other hand, stigma from the society, job insecurity, and lack of management support and preservation of profession credibility were found to be among the factors that hinder a person to go and seek helps. Based on the findings, several suggestions and recommendations were put forward to encourage more people to go and seek professional help.

type: item
description: Despite concerted efforts taken since the launched of immunization campaign for Malaysians, the country still wary of individuals who consistently disputing the validity and legality of the vaccine. Further to that, there are also Malaysia citizens who do not believe in the effectiveness of the vaccine which lead to refusal in receiving it voluntarily. The study aimed to (i) to explore the understanding of the Malay senior citizens on health communication campaigns related to the COVID-19 vaccination programmes, (ii) to review the sources of information used by the senior citizens in obtaining information related to the vaccine and COVID-19, and (iii) to explore the behaviours of the senior citizens and their acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine. The study involved 10 Malay senior citizens within the range age group of 55-65 years. In order to seek diverse insights on the information seeking behaviour and the preferred sources, the study focused on the influence of cultural, religious diversity and the implementation of health communication campaigns by the government on the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine. Further, the study also explored the level of understanding and perception on the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine among senior citizens. Qualitative methodology was applied using focus group discussion in the data collection, and NVIVO software was used for analysis. The study found hesitancy on the vaccine resulting from the unsure sources of information. Senior citizens from Malay community were very concerned on receiving the vaccine. Additionally, the result indicated that the national immunisation campaign is less effective especially to those who reside in rural areas. The majority of the participants obtained information sources related to vaccines and COVID-19 through social media compared to mainstream media. Inasmuch the overseas media provided more authentic information than the local media, it was equally significant that the informants also fou…

MODUL LATIHAN PENASIHAT MAHKAMAH BAGI KANAK-KANAK DI MALAYSIA
type: item
description: Penubuhan Mahkamah bagi Kanak-kanak (MBKK) dalam sistem keadilan jenayah kanak-kanak bertujuan memberikan perlindungan undang-undang terhadap kanak-kanak. Mahkamah ini dianggotai oleh seorang Majistret dan dibantu oleh dua orang penasihat seperti yang diperuntukkan dalam seksyen 11(2) Akta Kanak-Kanak 2001 (AKK 2001). Penasihat MBKK berperanan menasihati Majistret dalam memberikan perintah kepada kanak-kanak yang berkonflik dengan undang-undang dan jika perlu menasihati ibu bapa atau penjaga kanak-kanak tersebut. Namun penasihat MBKK berdepan cabaran untuk menasihati mahkamah akibat kurang pendedahan kepada modul dan latihan berkaitan. Sekyen 11 AKK 2001 juga tidak memperuntukkan keperluan latihan bagi penasihat MBKK. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti modul dan latihan sedia ada berserta isu dan cabaran yang dihadapi oleh penasihat MBKK dan pihak-pihak terlibat berkaitan pelaksanaan modul dan latihan tersebut. Analisis dibuat terhadap jurnal akademik, dokumen perundangan dan modul berkaitan. Temu bual separa struktur turut dijalankan dengan Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM), Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita Keluarga dan Masyarakat (KPWKM) dan lima orang penasihat MBKK (mewakili kawasan bandar dan luar bandar) bagi mengenal pasti isu dan cabaran yang dihadapi oleh penasihat MBKK. Kajian mendapati modul latihan bagi penasihat MBKK telah dibangunkan pada tahun 2013 oleh JKM dan Fakulti Undang-undang (FUU), Universiti Malaya yang mencakupi aspek perundangan. Namun terdapat beberapa kekangan dalam pelaksanaan modul latihan tersebut. Kajian ini mencadangkan kerangka penambahbaikan kepada modul dan latihan penasihat MBKK bagi meningkatkan wibawa serta profesionalisme penasihat MBKK selain membantu mereka untuk berperanan secara efektif dalam sistem keadilan jenayah kanak-kanak di Malaysia.

type: item
description: The loss of a caregiver or loved one is a tragic moment, which can have psychosocial impact on a child. Children inside institutions either in foster or residential care are prevalence to the experience of neglect and parental loss bereavement. Bereavement endures a variety of factors that influence negatively on child mental health. The purpose of this concept paper is to explain noteworthy contributions with regards to information on bereavement among children and their psychosocial problems in institutions and residential cares. The attachment theory is significant to explain the association of bereavement and institutions, which supported the evidence that bereavement among vulnerable population inside institution, are at high risk of social deterioration. The theory implies a cause-effect relationship between early attachments. Children are potentially psychologically affected by any traumatic events, which caused them to experience prolong mental developmental delay that are associated with different psychological disorders. Institutionalized children can easily become victim of their psychosocial inability to defend themselves from ruthless violence. Research had examined the differentiating factors of certain symptoms in normal grief and bereavement within the context of depressive disorders, including self-guiltiness, death thoughts, maltreatment, and worthlessness. Experiences of bereavement may occur over the loss, which then shifted to transient withdrawal. Parental loss is one of the most extreme social deprivations that a child can experience Therefore responses to parental loss may be age-specific, related to temperament and to culture. The literature indicated that bereavement in institutional settings has the potential to cause significant risks of mental health with the most prevalent impact related to psychological issues. To cope with the consequences of child maltreatment, prolonged effective interventions should be encouraged. Noteworthy, studi…

REALIZATION OF THE SPEECH ACT OF REFUSALS AMONG MALAY ESL STUDENTS
type: item
description: Refusing to participate in an action is a negative response that might lead to a dispute and jeopardise the connection between the hearer and the speaker. To avoid the conflict that may arise when a speaker must decline a request, the speaker must offer an acceptable refusal and adjust to the position of the interlocutor as well as the circumstances of the situation. This study examined the strategies and sequence order of the strategies employed by Malay speakers of English as a second language (MSE) when they refused requests made by higher and equal status interlocutors. Twelve MSE undergraduates from a local university participated in the study. Data were collected using an open role-play which were transcribed, classified into semantic refusal strategies (Beebe et al., 1990) and categorized into the types of sequence orders of the strategies. The findings revealed that the MSE preferred indirect strategies when refusing higher and equal status interlocutors’ requests. When using direct strategies, they opted for lesser and the least degree of directness. The sequence orders of the strategies employed to refuse both interlocutors were also similar; immediate refusal and delayed refusal. However, they deferred in terms of their preference between the two types of sequence orders and the specific strategies used in the pre-refusal, head act and post-refusal. These variations show their effort to adapt to the status of their interlocutors; higher and equal status and the given situations. Their use of strategies at the post-refusal for both interlocutors were varied and lengthier compared to the sequence orders revealed in the previous studies. The findings reflect the participants’ effort to search for equilibrium between upholding their stance and at the same time remain respectful in the case of their employer and being concerned toward their friend. These findings provide pragmatic input which could be utilized by English language teachers to develop their stud…

type: item
description: Institusi pendidikan tinggi kini berhadapan dengan cabaran untuk menghasilkan graduan yang bukan sahaja cemerlang dari segi akademik tetapi juga dapat menjadi penyumbang kepada pasaran pekerjaan apabila mereka memasuki alam pekerjaan. Pembentukan identiti kendiri yang proaktif sangat penting dan perlu diberi perhatian sepenuhnya oleh pihak universiti bagi merealisasikan hasrat untuk melahirkan graduan yang berkualiti dan dapat memenuhi permintaan dalam pasaran global. Kajian ini bertujuan membuat perbandingan pembentukan identiti kendiri dalam kalangan pelajar tahun pertama dan tahun empat di universiti dengan bersandarkan kepada Teori Pembangunan Diri Chikerings (1969). Pengumpulan data menggunakan kaedah temu bual separa berstruktur. Seramai sembilan orang pelajar Universiti Utara Malaysia yang terdiri daripada lima orang pelajar tahun pertama dan empat orang pelajar tahun akhir telah ditemu bual. Data diproses menggunakan perisian NVivo 10.0. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa Teori Pembangunan Diri Chikering adalah sesuai untuk digunakan bagi mengenal pasti pembentukan identiti kendiri pelajar tahun pertama dan tahun akhir. Oleh itu, teori ini boleh dijadikan sebagai panduan kepada institusi pengajian tinggi yang terlibat dalam merangka aktiviti kurikulum dan kokurikulum pelajar dengan mengambil kira elemen pembangunan identiti diri pelajar. Hasil kajian juga mendapati bahawa Teori Pembangunan Diri Chikering sesuai diaplikasikan untuk melihat pembentukan identiti kendiri pelajar. Dalam pengkelasan pembentukan identiti kendiri pelajar berdasarkan Teori Pembangunan Diri Chikering, tujuh vektor tersebut boleh dibahagikan kepada dua tahap yang utama, iaitu tahap pertama pembentukan identiti kendiri pelajar terdiri daripada vektor 1 hingga vektor 4, manakala tahap kedua pembentukan identiti kendiri pelajar bermula dari vektor 5 sehingga vektor 7. Kajian ini diharap dapat membantu universiti untuk menjalankan aktiviti pembangunan pelajar dengan memfokuskan kepada pembe…

POLICY AND SERVICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
type: item
description: The inclusivity of students with disabilities into the mainstream education is getting more attention when all institutions of higher learning, public and private, are expected to implement the disability inclusion policy. Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) has been supporting the potential of students with disabilities by offering academic programmes. This study examines the policy regarding inclusivity for people/students with disabilities and services provided. Using a qualitative approach, the primary data were obtained through the interviews with the officer of Student Affairs Department (HEP) and three disabled students. Responses were recorded, transcribed and analysed using thematic approach. HEP was selected since the Department involves with students affairs and provides services for students with disabilities. A focus group discussion was held with the three students, taking different programmes, and having different type of impairments. The study found that: (a) UUM has adopted the PWD Guideline by the Ministry of Education; (b) UUM supports the inclusivity education when students with disabilities are offered to enrol into the academic programmes; and (c) services offered for students with disabilities are limited. It is recommended for the institution to have a written disability policy that suitable with the surrounding and environment of the campus and education. At the same time, its true implementation is essential along with the application of the social model in materialising the inclusivity concept.

Children’s Psychological Affect on Their Daily Life in Private Welfare Institutions (Keadaan Psikologikal Kanak-Kanak dalam Kehidupan Harian di Pusat Kebajikan Persendirian)
type: item
description: Children who are separated from their biological families have an unusual life experience compared to their counterparts residing with their biological families. This paper describes children’s psychological affect by measuring their self-expression based on their daily experiences in welfare institutions. A total of 163 children in four private children’s homes completed the Malay version of the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) developed by Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener (2009). The results show that more than half of the children (60.1%) had high levels of positive expression, while 63.2 percent recorded intermediate levels of negative expression. In total, only 30.1 percent of the children had high affect balance. Independent sample t-test shows that male children had significant positive expression and higher affect balance compared to their female counterparts. Female children had higher negative expression than male children. Correlation analyses show that no significant relationships can be established between self-expression and the factors of age and length of stay at the private welfare institutions. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) indicates that there was a significant difference in mean affect balance between male and female children while adjusting age and length of stay. This implies that gender is an important factor in the positive expression of children in out-of-home care. Any efforts to help the children feel positive about their living experience should begin by considering their gender.
