iCGPA, IR4.0 and Graduate Employability from the Lens of the Academics
Authors: Abd Majid Faizah 
Published: April 2020

This paper focuses on heated issues in the Malaysian public universities of late. Specifically, the paper uncovers the perceptions of a group of lecturers in a selected public university regarding iCGPA, IR4.0 and Graduate Employability. In eliciting relevant data, series of semi-structured interview were conducted. A total of ten lecturers from a faculty volunteered as participants. In collecting the data through the semi-structured interview, saturation stage was achieved at the end of the 5th participant. Anticipating no new themes could emerge from the subsequent interviews upon the saturation stage, it was decided that the research findings would be derived from the relevant excerpts from the existing five interviews. The interviews were done separately, and each lasted between 45 minutes and an hour. In ensuring the trustworthiness of the research findings interpretations, member-checks and an inter-rater were done. The salient findings include frustration over iCGPA implementation and a vague understanding of IR4.0 among the participants. The findings, however, revealed the participants’ awareness of graduate employability. Most importantly, the findings concluded that though the participants were clear with the importance of graduate employability, they were unsure about iCGPA’s role in enhancing graduate employability and how IR4.0 could be embedded in their syllabus to promote graduate employability. All in all, this paper has confirmed a potential gap between the three main aspects namely; iCGPA, IR4.0 and graduate employability. The implications include the need to revisit the existing curriculum in complementing the training needs of IR4.0 skills, to re-skill lecturers in their teaching approaches and to examine the implementation of iCGPA as a platform to indicate IR4.0 skills and to promote graduate employability. Various parties could benefit from the research findings such as the curriculum developer, the lecturers themselves and most importantly the policymakers.

Published: April 2020

Interdisciplinary is a huge innovation in education. It sets a wide perspective of knowledge boundaries with different background of expertise in order to achieve better outcomes and social impact. Innovation in the other way closely related to the creative mind as being portrayed as design thinking. A cross-field research has been conducted between occupational therapist (expert-user) and designer due to innovation activities occurs in the rehabilitation setting. Increasing creation of assistive technology (AT) for patients grows in numbers but unfortunately issues of the low rate of usage being highlighted. What went wrong to those creation? The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effective design practice that suits to the need of interdisciplinary for design intervention in rehabilitation setting. In design education, several approaches were applied by the designers to help the non-designer to innovate products in their field such as co-creation. Hence, a total of selected studies from design and innovation journal between year 2010 until 2018 being reviewed using Mendeley to analyse the difference design activities involved. Upon findings, attributes for interdisciplinary for design education for expert-user are including types of user, experience and technology factors. Recommendation for further research in design method for interdisciplinary collaboration for expert-user is perceived to bring better creation by future Design Innovation Catalyst (DIC) where they can adopt design intervention in their field for effective problem solving; either in design or non-design activities. The importance of these findings for design interdisciplinary is discussed.

Authors: William Tandang Tracy Anak , Mohd Arif Marina 
Published: April 2020

The study has given a myriad of insights and a deeper understanding of the issue of second language anxiety, especially in Malaysia. This study encompassed several aspects of second language learning. This study focused on the relationship between second language anxiety and beliefs about language learning. Besides that, the role of gender in second language anxiety has also been one of the main focuses of the study. On top of that, this study also emphasized the effect of second language anxiety on second language achievement. To achieve the purpose, a study was conducted quantitatively among 334 respondents from a local public institution, which is a polytechnic in Negeri Sembilan. The respondents of the study were from Commerce Department which is the largest department in the institution. The respondents were the students from the third semester in the second year. This study used the modified version of the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) and Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory (BALLI). From the study, it is found that the second language anxiety of the students is moderately related to their beliefs about language learning. Besides, the second language achievement is negatively correlated with the second language anxiety, thus explains the low performance while experiencing high level of anxiety. This study also reveals that there is no significant difference found between male and female students in second language anxiety. It is anticipated for researchers to continue and expand the field of study in order to continue contributing to the body of knowledge on second language anxiety.

Published: April 2020

Visual art is a subject that emphasizes on creativity, innovation and critical thinking, therefore, Visual Art Education (VAE) teachers have been urged to utilize the full potential of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Despite numerous literature have highlighted the benefits of ICT, VAE teachers were found not serious toward integrating ICT in teaching. Hence, this study was carried out to determined Malaysian VAE teachers’ attitudes and beliefs and their level of confidence toward incorporating ICT into art classrooms. This study explored teachers’ specific approach of ICT and factors that influence their integration of ICT into art classrooms. The participants of this study were eighteen VAE teachers from three-selected secondary school in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. Data for the study was gathered by face-to-face interviews. The findings of the study indicated that Malaysian VAE teachers were still at moderate levels of ICT integration. The support from the school administrator and continues professional development were identified as two main factors that contribute towards successful ICT integration. In light of the published research on the integration of ICT in the VAE subject area, hopefully, the findings of this study will assist school organization, teachers training institutions and the Ministry of Education toward establishing a standard for successful ICT integration, especially in the context of the VAE.

Linguophilosophical Aspect of Communicative Influence: Theoretical Basis
Authors: KUTUZA Natalya , Kravets Inna 
Published: April 2020

The article deals with the phenomenon of communicative influence, where the main attention is paid to its theoretical consideration in linguistics and philosophy. The subject of the study was the theoretical basis of communicative influence. The purpose of the proposed article is to consider communicative influence in linguophilosophical aspect. A number of research methods have been used to achieve this goal: descriptive to shed light on the nature of communicative influence; specifics of the review of influence in philosophy and linguistics; a method of analysis and synthesis for the identification of the components of communicative influence and the combination of their single complex; modeling method for constructing the degree of suggestiveness expression; the induction method served to conclude the general conclusions.
It is found that philosophers have focused their attention on the "magic" of the word when studying influence; close connection of spirit, soul with language, psychophysiological phenomena; inaccuracies and variability of interpretation of reality; language as activity, motives for action. In the linguistic aspect, in the light of new and emerging disciplines, attention is focused on the variability, imagery, associative potential of lexemes and linguistic complexes, which is a suggestogenic potential, which is analyzed at all linguistic levels. It is emphasized that language is generally a suggestive phenomenon. The authors propose to consider the impact actualizers (suggestems / suggestogens) according to the degree of suggestiveness manifestation, where implementation at two language levels is poor actualization, at three - moderate, more than three - strong.

Study of Current - Voltage Characteristics of Normal and Abnormal Glow Discharge in Air at Low Pressures
Authors: Owaid Ahmed Y. 
Published: April 2020

In the present study experimental measurements have been carried out to investigate the variation of air discharge voltage (V) and current (I) as a function of working pressure (p), in the ranges (300-500 V), (2-15 mA) and (0.09-0.13 Torr) respectively. Two thick, flat and circular electrodes of radius (4 cm) of Aluminum with a Pyrex cylinder tube of length (10 cm) and radius (3.5 cm) were used to generate the air glow discharge modes. The (V-p) characteristics have shown that an increasing in the discharge voltage of normal mode and reduction in that of abnormal mode with increasing the working pressure. It also displayed that the range of upper voltage from breakdown to abnormal glow has a minimum value (15.7 V) at (0.117 Torr). In addition to that, it is found that the (I-V) characteristics of air glow discharge modes are consistent with those reported in the literature for other gases, as argon, hydrogen and oxygen. It is expected that these observations can help to reduce the voltage needed to get an intense abnormal glow discharge in the air, and to understand well the behavior of two modes of glow discharge, that is important in various applications.
