RT 331.59595 ANG The purpose of this study was to (a) examine the
relationships between a set of organizational experiences
and employment outcomes, and (b) investigate the extent
to which subordinate disability moderates the above
relationships. Organizational experiences were
operationalized as upward influence, performance of in-
role-behavior (IRB) and OCB (organizational citizenship
behavior), leader-member exchange (LMX), and
organizational support, whereas employment outcomes
were considered in two distinct dimensions: objective
(salary progression) and subjective (career satisfaction
and promotability). Subordinate disability was viewed as
a continuum along the extend of the disability and its
importance to job performance. Eight broadly
hypothesized relationships were tested in a field study
with a sample of 129 employees with disabilities and 100
non-disabled co-workers working in 63 manufacturing and
service entities in Penang. Data were obtained from both
employees and their supervisors via face-to-face
interviews and self-administered questionnaires
respectively. By and large, the results from hierarchical
regression analyses provided little to moderate support
for the hypotheses. Person with disabilities (PWD),
particularly the intellectually- impaired, were generally
found to experience less favourable outcomes in
comparison to their non-disabled counterparts. The
findings on direct effect revealed a dissimilar pattern for
each indicator of employment outcomes. Rational tactics
were found to be positively related to salary progression,
whereas organizational support positively influenced
career satisfaction. Promotability was significantly
predicted by rational tactics, IRB, civic-virtuous OCB,
LMX-leader regard, and organizational support. Results
of moderated effects suggest that engaging in national
tactics, fostering high quality LMX-member regard, and
receiving substantial organizational support could prove
advantageous for the promotability of employees with
high disability scores. Across disability type, the findings
were generally mixed, advocating that efforts directed at
augmenting PWD's employment outcomes should be

RT 378.1 TAN The main aims of this were to identify nine aspects of
scientific evidence applied by science teacher trainees in
conducting three physical science practical and also to
describe their conceptions of scientific evidence
associated with both the measurement reliability and
design validity categories employed in both the practical
and scenario tasks. The relationship between gender and
trainees' conceptions and applications of scientific
evidence were also investigated. In addition, a cross-
protocol comparison was also made of their conceptions
of scientific evidence associated with the above two
categories across both tasks, overall and by gender. The
sample consisted of 87 science teacher trainees (45
males and 42 females) who came from a teacher training
college in Sarawak. To identify the sample's conceptions
and applications of scientific evidence, a quantitative
methodology involving observation interview, practical
report and scenario was used. The results reveal that the
most applied aspects of scientific evidence in the practical
task (at least 78% of sample) were identifying key
variables, controlling appropriate variables, repeating
measurements, recognizing and identifying patterns in
graph correctly. Using a suitable scale and suitable table
to organize data collection while the least applied (less
than 10% of sample) was in giving suitable accuracy to
their measurements. As to the cross-protocol comparison
of the sample's conception of scientific evidence across
both tasks, the findings indicate that these two different
measures did not seem to have much convergent validity.
In the practical task, about 87% (76), 36% (31), 25% (22),
64% (56), and 5% (4) of the respondents had the right
conceptions on repeats, variance, treatment of
anomalous result, fair test and external validity aspects
respectively. In contrast, about 44% (38), 75% (65), 26%
(23), 41% (36) and 6% (5) of the sample possessed
similar conceptions on each of the above aspects
respectively over both scenarios. It was also found that
gender did not significantly affect trainees' total task score
and conceptions of scientific evidence across both tasks
at p < .05. Lastly, the findings of this study suggest that
science teacher trainees who possessed the right
understanding of a scientific evidence aspect also tended
to apply the related aspect more readily. The results also
indicate that for those scientific evidence aspects which
were routinized as part and parcel of the college's

RT 003.3 SIE The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of
inquiry-based computer simulation with heterogeneous-
ability cooperative learning (HACL) and inquiry-based
computer simulation with friendship cooperative learning
(FCL) on (a) Scientific reasoning (SR) and (b) conceptual
understanding (CU) among Form Four students in
Malaysian Smart Schools. The study further investigated
the effects of the HACL and FCL methods on
performance in scientific reasoning and conceptual
understanding among students of different reasoning
abilities. The SR and CU score were measured through a
scientific reasoning test and a test of conceptual
understanding of gas laws respectively. A Quasi-
experimental method that employed the 3 x 2 Factorial
Design was applied in the study. The first factor was three
types of instructional method, namely, (a) inquiry-based
computer simulation with heterogeneous-ability
cooperative learning (HACL), (b) inquiry-based computer
simulation with friendship cooperative learning (FCL),
and (c) inquiry-based computer simulation with traditional
group work (TG). The second factor was student
reasoning ability levels, namely, empirical-inductive (EI)
and hypothetical-deductive (HD). The dependent
variables were student performance in SR and CU. The
sample consisted of 301 students from 12 pure science
classes in four Smart Schools which randomly selected
and assigned to the treatment groups. The equivalence of
all group was established using the pre-SR and Pre-CU
tests. The result showed that students in the HACL group
significantly outperformed their counterparts in the FCL
group who, in turn, significantly outperformed other
students in the TG group in scientific thinking and
conceptual understanding. Also, HD students in the HACL
group significantly outperformed their counterparts in the
FCL and the TG groups in conceptual understanding.
Further, HD students in the HACL group significantly
outperformed their counterparts in the TG group in
Scientific reasoning, but did not significantly outperformed
their counterparts in the FCL group. However there were

RT 302.2 ANN This study report on how English language (EL) teachers
perceive and manage oral communication apprehension
(CA) among learners in the language classrooms. The
main purpose of this qualitative study was to understand
language teachers' perception and how they think
they are addressing the phenomenon. This study report
on how teachers operate in the language classrooms in
relation to learners' fear of oral communication and how
they manage it. Additionally, the issues and problems that
have emerged in relation to oral language
development in general will be presented and discussed.
A qualitative methodology was employed to explore the
respondents at their natural setting. The data generated
through interview, classroom observations and document
review were able to capture the teachers' thoughts,
teaching and management of learners in relation to the
phenomenon in five Malaysian secondary school. A total

comprised eight English language teachers, one principal
and three heads of the English language department. The
teachers are the primary respondents. These teachers
shared their thought, experiences and perceptions on the
phenomenon. The data from the primary respondents
were triangulated with the secondary respondents, the
principal and the heads of the language department. The
data were analyzed manually by coding and categorizing
them based on common patterns that emerged. The
study found that teachers are perceptible of learners'
manifestations, which indicated that the learned are oral

RT 374.13 WAN The need to change and employ the necessary learning
skills are essential for successful learning considering
their other responsibilities in life which is part and parcel
of being an adult learner. One solution is for the adult
learners to undergo an educational transition from the
earlier mindset to the needs of the current environment
and to be self-directed in their learning thus
assuming the responsibility for their own learning by
building and employing the necessary skills to deliver the
desired results in learning. This study examined the
educational transition in self-directed learning by looking
at the respondents' prior beliefs, the phases that they
went through as adult distance-learners at the
University Putra Malaysia. The study was guided by
three research questions: (1) What were the learners'
prior beliefs about learning? (2) How to adult distance-
learners experience the phases of self-directed learning?
and (3) How do they employ self-directed learning as
adult distance-learners?. A qualitative research design
was employed for this study which was deemed
appropriate, given the research questions which were to
obtain a view into the respondents' life-worlds and to
understand their personal meanings constructed from
their life experiences. Data were primarily gathered
through interviews on six selected respondents based on
the criteria set by the researcher. Three conclusions
were drawn from this study. First, adult learners do have
a set of beliefs which are; learning would change their
lives, mode of teaching and learning and also on their
ability to face the challenges prior to their engagement as
adult distance-learners at the University Putra
Malaysia. Second, adult distance-learners went through
five different phases of learning to be self-directed which
includes the phases of disorientation, exploration,
transformation, adaptation before they are able to come
to terms with learning as distance-learners or the
reconciliation phase. Third, after going through the
phases of learning, adult distance-learners to employ
self-directed learning skills in their learning. The

reinforcement behaviour headmasters in primary schools
tend to utilize in their management of their teachers (b)
examine the impact of this reinforcement behaviours on
teachers' performance, and (c) examine the moderating
effect of perceived interpersonal justice in the above
relationship. Headmasters' reinforcement behaviours
were operationalized as contingent reward behaviour,
omission for performance and contingent punishment,
whereas teachers' performance was considered in three
distinct dimensions: job satisfaction, Discretionary
Collaborative Behaviour (DCB) and students' academic
achievement ( a proxy for teachers' performance).
Interpersonal justice was viewed as a moderator. Six
broadly hypothesized relationships were tested in a field
study with a sample of 203 teachers from 51 primary
schools in Penang. Data were obtained from
teachers using self-administrated questionnaires and from
archival data ( students' academic achievement). By and
large, the results from the hierarchical regression
analyses provided moderate to high support for the
hypotheses. Headmasters tend to utilize more
contingent reward reinforcement behaviour does have a
significant relationship especially on teachers' job
satisfaction and their and their DCB but not on the
students' academic achievement. However, teachers
perceived interpersonal justice acts as a predictor rather
than as moderator as hypothesized in this study. The

RT 371.9142 MIN This study aims at exploring the nature and the extent of
the speech problems faced by 14 children with Down
Syndrome of the Malay ethnic group. The subjects
whose ages range from 9-12 years are studying at special
government schools around the Klang Valley. This
study thus, intends to investigate the speech output
which includes the phonemic systems, speech patterns
and evidence of some idiosyncratic patterns
representative of DS children. Since impairments in
articulation are common in the population with DS, this
study provides a combination of a qualitative and
quantitative approach in identifying inconsistent
articulatory errors and linguistic patterns of BM
consonants. Several studies from the West have
reported that the articulatory abilities of DS children are
poor, but have provided little detail on the nature of the
articulation problems. This paper presents (a) inventory
of consonants of each subjects (b) a comparison of target
consonant phonemes with the subjects renditions of these
phonemes and (c) a characterization of the subjects
errors in terms of phonological processes. A multifaceted
approach to assessment is carried out. The study
encompasses the traditional assessments whereby
speech samples for linguistic analysis are obtained from
spontaneous picture-naming task and imitation task. The
selection of the test items was according the familiarity of
the items and mental capacity of the subjects. Informal
assessment includes questionnaires and interviews with
parents and teachers. The analysis is conducted on
speech data which have been transcribed phonetically.
The primary purpose of the analysis is to contribute to the
understanding of the linguistic performance of the
consonants by the subjects. The secondary purpose
is to ascertain which aspects of phonetic deviance and
phonological processes are being demonstrated by the
subjects. This study provides a descriptive account of the
production of the consonants in syllables, single-words
(monosyllabic, bisyllablic and pollylabic words) and
clusters across various phonemic categories, resulting in
providing a unique profile of the speech disorders and
speech motor abilities of children with DS. The findings of

Practices
RT 820.712 NOR The main purpose of the study was to examine teachers'
beliefs and practice regarding meaning-making in the
teaching of literature. The study was carried out through
a detailed investigation of two research questions : (1)
what are teachers' beliefs regarding meaning-making in
the teaching of literacy texts? (2) How do teachers make
meaning accessible to students in a literature
classroom? These questions were continuously
addressed throughout the study with the specific concern
of investigating teachers' beliefs in meaning-making,
understanding the process of meaning-making in the
teaching of literature and linking these concepts to actual
classroom practice in the English language teaching
classroom in the secondary schools in Malaysia. A
naturalistic qualitative inquiry was selected as the
methodology of the study since it was deemed the most
appropriate for a phenomenon of this nature. Data was
gathered and generated from eight teachers from two
government schools. The participants were selected
based on criterion reference purposive sampling. The
data collection method to achieve the purpose of this
study was in-depth interview, non-participant lesson
observation and document review. Each interview lasted
one to two hours, were recorded using digital audio
recorder, transcribed verbatim, and analysed manually.
In addition, a non-participant lesson observation of
teachers' teaching the literature component was made
available to the researcher by some of the participants.
Documents in the form of teachers' lesson plans,
syllabus and students products were also analysed. The
trustworthiness of the study was ensured through
member checks, peer examination, triangulation of data
sources and audit trail. The findings yielded nine beliefs
regarding meaning making and three approaches
employed by the participants in the literature
classroom. The findings were further conceptualised to
form a thematic portrayal of teachers' belief and practice.
the study concludes by constructing a model of teachers'
beliefs and practices in meaning-making which could
enhance understanding of the phenomenon of meaning-
making process in relation to teachers' beliefs and

RT 371.332 GOH This study explores the teachers' views the change
scenario, that is, how they have integrated ICTTL (
Information and communication technology in teaching
and learning); and their views about the change
conditions, that is how the conditions within their
environment of change influenced their implementation.
The conceptual framework for this study is based on Ely's
(1999a) "Conditions that facilitate the Implementation of
Educational technology Innovation" model. This model
focuses on eight conditions predisposing an environment
towards change. They are : dissatisfaction with the status
quo, existence of knowledge and skills, availability of
funds and resources availability of time, existence of
incentives and reward, the spirit of participation,
commitment and leadership. Data for this was obtained
via a case study research, employing the interview,
observation, questionnaire and document collection
techniques. Descriptive statistics from the
questionnaire was used to support the qualitative data
and to provide further details to the analysis. Findings
revealed that the teacher's reception of the ICTTL
innovation was positive; they saw the relative advantage
(Roger, 1995) in ICTTL. However there was 'low take-up'
(Handal, 2003) in its implementation, evidenced by its
density and low frequency of use. Sekolah Menengah

RT 820.712 NAI This study examined the ways ESL teacher trainees from
one teacher training institute in Malaysia use scaffolding
as a form of learning strategy to comprehend literary
texts. The study investigated the types and characteristics
of scaffolding and the effectiveness of scaffolding strategy
training (SST) as used by teacher trainees of three
different levels of proficiency. The study utilized a quasi-
experimental design and employed a mixed method of
collecting and analyzing data that ran concurrently. In the
first phase, 96 subjects were selected based on the
proficiency test administered and divided accordingly into
the experimental and control groups for the quasi-
experimental design. Each group consisted of subjects
from three levels of proficiency: high proficiency (HP), low
proficiency (LP) and mixed proficiency (MP). In this study,
the researcher looked into the possibility of using SST
to improve comprehension of literary texts among dyads
from the experimental group. A pre-and posttests of
comprehension questions based on two short stories
were carried out. SST was used as a treatment for the
experimental group. Subject from the control group
were expose to the same short stories through the normal
lecture conducted by the lecturer from the teacher training
institute. In the second phase, subjects' interactions (in
dyads) from the experimental group were recorded twice:
before and after SST. Interviews and diary studies were
analyzed to identify the types and characteristics of
scaffolding utilized in the meaning making process. SST
was conducted for a duration of 2 months involving
eight sessions on the experimental group. The training
sessions mainly focused on the use of five different types
of scaffolding; modeling, feedback, cognitive structuring,
questioning and asking for participation. The results of the
quasi-experimental study revealed that mixed proficiency
subjects from the experimental group out performed their
peers from other levels of proficiency. One of the reasons
identified from the qualitative study is the choice on
the types of scaffolding utilized by the peers. High
proficiency participants from the mixed proficiency dyads
are seen to use analogy as a form of scaffolding to assist
their understanding. The scaffolding strategy training was

RT 641.303 ZAI Field survey which was conducted from 2003 to 2005
over four consecutive seasons showed that 44 weeds
species in 29 general belonging to 18 families were
recorded in the Muda rice field. Of these, 18 species
were broadleaves, 12 sedges, 9 grasses and 5
aquatic plants. The hierarchy of five dominant weed
species based on important value (I.V) was as follows :
Oryza Sativa complex (weedy rice) > Echinochloa crus-
galli > Ludwigia hyssopifolia > Fimbristylis miliiaceace >
Ischaemum rugosum. Soil seed bank study showed that
a total of 577 seeds germinated which equal to 3337 seed
m-2 (33.37 million seed ha-1) in 1/2004 season, 979
seeds (5659 seed m-2 or 56.59 million seed ha-1) in
2/2004 season, 928 seeds (5364 m-2 or 53.64 million
seed m-2 ) in 1/2005 season and 471 seeds (2722
seed m-2 or 27.22 million seed m-2) in 2/2005 seasons.
Water seeding method was able to control weedy rice
infestation and subsequently produced higher yield. The
average number of weedy rice panicles was greatly
during off-season ( season 1/2004) and during main
season 2004 (season 2/2004) the rate decreased by
15.55% number of weedy rice panicles. Average
expected and actual yield were relatively similar for all
selected farm lands for four consecutive seasons.
During seasons 2/2004 to 1/2005 and season 1/2005 to
season 2/2005, the gross yields increased by 6.02% and
7.94%, respectively. The variants of weedy rice namely;
awn and non-pigmented; open panicle and non-
pigmented and compact panicle and pigmented collected
from Guar Chempedak showed that growth pattern and
anatomical differences were quite similar particularly on
compact panicle and pigmented variant. Weedy rice
completes its life cycle within 85-95 days after
emergence. Based on plant demography study, under
treatment of 150 kg N/ha, the rate of seed production
from all survival adult individuals was 368 seeds per
panicle (8464 seeds per plant) and without N was 255
seeds per panicles (2295 seeds per plant ). Result
from redox potential study, showed that the values of
redox potential decreased with depth. Based on the
control and weed management aspect, the species could

RT 375.001 ASI The role and status of the English language has always
been an important policy issue in Malaysia especially
after independence from Britain in 1957. In the early
years after independence there was a strong urge to
develop and promote Bahasa Malaysia as the national
language leading to a relative neglect of the role of the
English language. As time passed there was a growing
concern about falling standards in English and the need
to improve proficiency in the language in order for
Malaysia to be more competitive in international trade and
commerce. Since the early 1980s several measures
were taken by the Ministry of Education to enhance
competency in English. However the results were uneven
and unsatisfactory. This growing concern finally led to the
decision by the government to introduce the bilingual
policy of teaching Science and Mathematics in English in
2003 (termed the new policy by this research). This New
Policy not only changed the medium of instruction for
Science and Mathematics and English language, in
