Malaysian government has implemented various programs to encourage entrepreneurship among Bumiputra youths. However, the number of young Bumiputra entrepreneurs is still far below the expectation. The fourth industrial revolution (IR 4.0) and 5G technology has highlighted the importance of technopreneurship. Unfortunately, technopreneurship is still considered new and many challenges remained. This study was geared towards identifying the factors influencing technopreneurial intention among Bumiputra students in Malaysia. It used self-administered questionnaire to survey 138 Bumiputra undergraduate students from a public university in Malaysia. It developed a research model which integrated self-efficacy theory and individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) concept. Based on the analyses performed, it found that information and communication technology (ICT) self-efficacy and two elements of IEO (i.e.: risk-taking and proactiveness) positively and significantly influenced technopreneurial intention. However, innovation did not influence technopreneurial intention significantly. As such, this study suggested that higher learning institution should realize the importance of technopreneurial education in developing competitive technopreneurs among Bumiputra youths. Furthermore, students should be given more opportunities to pro-actively search for business opportunities, handle actual business to learn risk management and attend ICT courses to increase their ICT capabilities.

Video annotation (VA), a tool which allows commentaries to be synchronized with video content has recently received significant research attention in education. However, the application contexts of these studies are varied and fragmented. A review was therefore undertaken with the objectives to find out the extent to which the use of VA has been explored for different instructional purposes and summarize the potential affordances of VA in supporting student learning. Articles related to the use of VA in education context were searched from 2011 to 2020 (Nov). Of the final 32 eligible studies, it was found that VA tools were used predominantly to develop teaching practices, enhance learners' conceptual understanding of video content and develop workplace skills as well as clinical practices. Five most dominant educational affordances of VA tools were summarized as follows: (1) facilitating learners' reflection (2) facilitating feedback process (3) enhancing comprehension of video content (4) promoting students' learning satisfaction and positive attitude and (5) convenience and ease. With the outstanding weight of research evidence gained on educational affordances offered by VA, it is convincing that advancing the use of VA in education can further expand the learning opportunities in 21st century classrooms.

We leverage nationally representative data and statewide data from Washington to investigate trends in occupational career and technical education (CTE) participation for students with and without disabilities. Consistent with prior work, we document declines in occupational CTE participation since the early 2000s, but we provide the first evidence that this decline can be explained by movement out of courses that are no longer considered CTE. Under the definitions operating at the time, though, we show that participation by students with disabilities in applied science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medical/health (STEMM) CTE courses has increased over time, both nationally and in Washington. These trends are encouraging given prior evidence linking applied STEMM-CTE participation to better long-term outcomes for students with disabilities.

This report led to a study on child narcotics crimes. 17 district court decisions from 2017-2020 are the unit of analysis, using the Question Nvivo-12 plus software process. The aim of using Nvivo-12 plus is to analyze data with a data coding model. In addition, the writers also interviewed main witnesses, including judges who prosecuted child narcotics cases. . The data analysis procedure includes a validity test using triangulation of sources, time, and place. Grouping of data in the form of images and tables that have been processed for analysis with three data analysis techniques through percentages, making explanations, and comparing with theories or previous research results. According to the findings of the study, drugs education for youngsters involved in narcotics cases is critical. Furthermore, economic constraints, unsatisfactory home conditions, invites from acquaintances, and the influence of social media are all variables that lead to children committing narcotics offenses. In addition to these factors, the authors also found something new that makes children entangled in narcotics crimes, namely the involvement of adults who use children in the narcotics trade. For these factors, agile leadership is need, especially adult leaders with sensitivity, leadership unity, and quality of optimizing resources to protect children from the effects of drug abuse and the need to build particular educational institutions for children involved in crime. So children are given adequate education and skills, so they are not entangled again in drug cases.

Writing is usually the last skill to be touched upon in language classrooms, and more so, in the EFL or ESL classroom. Even so, postponing or the tendency to avoid the writing task is a common hindrance created by the learners, but is definitely one that retards the learning of the skill. The current study aimed to examine the efficacy of working collaboratively on digital platforms to enhance learners' engagement with writing in addition to boosting their writing proficiency. The participants in this study are forty-eight advanced level EFL learners at Qassim University. The study used both questionnaire and pre and post tests to collect data from he sample. Intervention lasted eight weeks and comparative results were computed using descriptive statistics in the standardised IELTS pre and post-test components for writing proficiency. Results showed a raise of between 47.36%-19.14 in group output from the first to the last week of the intervention. The paired sample t-value at 3.0402 suggests that the results support the null hypothesis that Collaborative Writing on a Digital Platform (CWDP) helps enhance writing performance in EFL learners since the difference between pre and post tests is statistically significant. Results obtained from a perceptions questionnaire evaluating learners' attitudes to CWDP clearly indicate a decided preference for the approach, both for its collaborative and tech value. The study concludes that collaborative writing in digital spaces contributes positively to enhancing Saudi university EFL learners' global writing proficiency and should be incorporated into the regular curriculum.

According to the researchers, the aim of this study is to determine the impact of the flipped learning approach on fifth-year students' understanding of reading content during their last year of preparatory education. To confirm the results of the study, the null hypothesis was developed, which claims that the experimental group's mean scores are not statistically significant when compared to the control group's mean scores when using the flipped learning strategy. To test the effectiveness of flipped learning, an experimental approach was used to create two equivalent experimental groups with a control group. One group learned by the flipped learning strategy and the other used the regular method for the second course (2019-2020) over eight weeks, with three classes each week. According to the findings, there are significant differences between experimental and control group means of reading comprehension and experimental group favor. The divergence in these parameters is a result of the experimental group using the Flipped Learning Strategy in their lessons.

In this study, the self-efficacy of conservatory students was determined in piano lessons. The piano lesson self-efficacy scale developed by Kurtuldu (2017) was used. The scale was applied to 55 students studying at the Musicology and Music Theory departments at Trabzon University State Conservatory in the academic year of 2020-2021. The result of this research revealed that significant differences were found only at the grade level between the piano lesson self-efficacy of the conservatory students. There was no significant difference in variables such as gender, the program attended at the conservatory, the type of high school graduated, the status of receiving piano education before undergraduate education, and the presence of a piano at the students' houses. As a result, several suggestions were put forward by evaluating the emerging differences in the context of computer literacy and distance education.

The COVID-19 epidemic, which deeply affected educational practices all over the world, caused significant difficulties in the process of effective evaluation of students with the suspension of face-to-face education. This research deals with the assessment-evaluation methods applied by science and physics teachers in the online education process in high schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey, and with the problems they have experienced in this process and with the proposed solutions. The research covers a 13-week period. A total of 65 teachers were included in the research. Qualitative method and phenomenology design was used in this research. Qualitative findings were evaluated with content analysis. During the online education period, it was determined that the teachers made assessments by sending questions and exams to the students via the Education Information Network (EBA), and sharing individual and group questions on social media, and there was no evaluation due to insufficient student participation in the courses. Alternative assessment-evaluation methods are mostly preferred by teachers who are open to academic development and a high level of digital literacy. Considering that online education applications are inevitable in emergency situations such as epidemics, the development of eligible assessment and evaluation applications and practices for online education is necessary as well as their presentation to teachers under the guidance of action researchers.

This paper discusses the insightful and illuminating findings of teaching critical reading within the theoretical framework of critical pedagogy. More specifically, this paper examines the impact of a critical-reading course on students' reading skills and beliefs about discourse production and interpretation. The course was conducted according to the principles of transformative participatory action research and, thus, a corpus of 50 essays, written by a convenience sample of 25 post-graduate students in the pre-test and post-test phases, was analyzed to examine the effect of the course on students' reading-habits and their representations of different discourses. Pretest findings showed that most students used to think that discourses are innocent and ideology-free and that reading a text consists in understanding its general idea, extracting its writer's viewpoint, making sense of its vocabulary, and paraphrasing it. As far as text's function is concerned, most students used to believe that a text's basic function is delivering information. In addition, most of them were unaware of the fact that a text has ideological and socio-political functions. Post-test findings revealed that students' discourse awareness and reading habits have become more critical and developed at two levels: the worldview level and the meta-language level. The t-test statistics suggest that there is a significant difference of p?0.001 between students' reading scores before and after the intervention. Therefore, the null hypothesis which says that there is no significant difference between studying critical reading from a critical pedagogy perspective and studying it from a functional or conventional perspective is false.

Satisfaction is an important usability attribute in developing a courseware which involves end users. Measuring satisfaction among hearing-impaired students is different than measuring it among common students because they learn using sign language and have different learning styles. An educational courseware for hearing-impaired students is employed to measure this. The courseware uses the Augmented Reality technology and it is called PekAR-Mikroorganisma. Hence, this article focuses on the methodology of measuring and the attributes that contribute to users' satisfaction. An adaptation of the System Usability Scale was used to identify the satisfaction value. Fifteen hearingimpaired students were employed as a case study. Findings show that the satisfaction level in using PekAR Mikroorganisma is high. It is hoped PekAR-Mikroorganisma can help the hearing-impaired to understand lessons better through the enhancement of their comprehension on abstract concepts.
