Scientific/chemical literacy is currently the goal of science education in many countries. Students' chemical literacy can be developed through an innovative learning strategy that explicitly direct student learning to aspects of chemical literacy. This research aimed to examine the effectiveness of SOIE (Strengthening, Orientation, Investigation, and Evaluation) innovative learning strategies on students' chemical literacy. The study used a quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest control group design. The research subjects consisted of two classes (N=68) first year students in a public university: the experimental (n = 34) and the control (n = 34) groups. The experimental group was taught using the SSI context based SOIE strategy, while the control group was taught using conventional methods. Students' chemical literacy was measured using a chemical literacy test (r = 0.761) and the data were analysed using ANCOVA. The results showed that the innovative strategy significantly improves students' chemical literacy, and it greatly affected all aspects of chemical literacy measured (e.g. content, epistemic, and procedural knowledge). The average score of each aspect in the experimental group was higher than that of students in the control group. The research implication lies in incorporating explicit literacy aspects and socio-scientific issues in chemistry learning.

Almost every course in higher education involved some form of multicultural group work activities and these have resulted in numerous problems for undergraduates due to the attitudinal and cultural differences. This study aims to find out the undergraduates' attitudes as well as the effect of cross-cultural differences towards multicultural group work. The mixed method design was used in this study. Questionnaire and interview questions adapted from both Wegelius (2013) and Iskandarova (2016) were used to collect the data. Google form was used for collecting quantitative data. There were 140 respondents comprising both Malaysian respondents and respondents from other nationalities studying in UCSI University. Out of these 140 respondents, eight respondents were selected for in-depth interviews. In general, the findings of this study showed that the local and foreign undergraduates' attitudes and language proficiency play major roles towards working effectively in group work. Besides, the data obtained indicated that there are both positive and negative effects of cross-cultural differences towards multicultural group work. A majority of the international undergraduates have a positive outlook when engaging with undergraduates from other countries. However, at times they isolate themselves due to differences in culture, language barriers, cross-cultural communication and attitudes. At the individual level, the findings can be used by students and educators as reference for combating problems encountered during multicultural group work while at the organisation level, the Human Resource Department can plan team building activities to bring the undergraduates together.

Educational societies encountered rapid development in all fields of knowledge, assisted by the invention of new technologies and development of linguistic systems. Over time, researchers contribute to design well known instructional models such as traditional-based and inquiry-based models. However, the previous literature investigations showed that most of the instructional models run into some limitations and challenges in the context of learning, whereas, traditional-based and inquiry-based were the dominant figures. The present study invested in exploring the process of translation concerning the cognitive challenges which translators encounter during translation activity. It contributes to develop an embedded situational context model for enhancing translators' cognitive performance through deploying four functional concepts from translation approach in systemic functional linguistics. A mixed-method approach is implemented by conducting thinking aloud experiment operated by two translation task and followed with retrospective interview to attain this goal. Conversely, a questionnaire on self-confidence and participants' translations are used for the quantitative evaluations. Consequently, the shortcomings associated with the cognitive process of translation were surmounted. Thus, the functional concepts of the developed embedded model were incorporated to build, enhance, and validate background knowledge and cognitive skills of translators during translation activity toward professional translation practice.

The best way to learn how people will behave in what situation, their interests and abilities is to learn about their personalities. Personality is a stable structure specific to the individual that is formed by being influenced by many factors. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between Enneagram personality traits, gender, university department, horoscopes, and parental attitude. The participants of the study consist of 202 university students who were selected through convenience sampling. The data were collected by Enneagram Personality Traits and Perceived Parental Attitudes scales. In the analysis of the data, parametric tests were performed in cases with normal distribution and in cases where the number of samples was sufficient, and non-parametric analyzes were performed in places where the sample number was low. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the perfectionist and peacemaker characteristics of the male students were higher than female's ones. It was found that personality traits do not differ in terms of horoscopes; warmth parental attitude is related to many personality traits, whereas rejecting parental attitude is not related to any personality traits. Parental attitude is important in personality formation, so awareness of parenting should be given to parents. The influence of the horoscopes on the personality remains uncertain. The fact that men are more perfectionists can be explained by gender roles, but the reason why they are more peacemakers can be investigated.
