This research is driven due to significant role of textbooks possessed in a country. The purpose of this study is to analyse the Malaysian Form Two Science textbook as this learning tool may acts as one of the reason that affects national Science education. The textbook was analysed based on content element adapted from Florida University Department of Education [FLDOE] (2015). Only four chapters from the theme 'Energy and Sustainability of Life' were analysed due to its physics related concepts which consider notoriously difficult for students (Oon &amp; Subramaniam, 2011). This qualitative content analysis study found that all the requirements set by national syllabus were aligned with textbook. Other criteria were developed which were values and STEM careers. The values emerged were caring and patriotic aside from Science core values. Nevertheless, limited example of STEM careers and portrayal of caring and patriotism values found in the textbook which may result in lower efficiency of the objectives to be achieved in real life. Following the analysis, the treatment level or the complexity in the introduction chapter is generally consistent except for Chapter 8 (&quot;Force and Motion&quot;) as it demonstrates questions with lower order thinking skills (LOTS). There were also certain examples in the textbook were not further explained which shows insufficiency in its content. Meanwhile, the textbook does not consist of any error in scientific disciplines, however few inaccuracies were found in technical websites and language manner. These technical difficulties may affect classroom lessons while the grammatical errors may distort students' language coherency.

This research explores one-to-one, formal mentoring relationships between students in higher education and their partnered mentees from community and secondary school environments. The purpose is to enhance understanding of mentoring praxis, bringing insight into structures and support of relationships. This paper addresses gaps in the literature by focusing more on the interaction that takes place rather than the benefits of mentoring alone. The research adopts an interpretive methodological approach, incorporating qualitative methods of semi-structured interviews with mentors and mentees. Reflective portfolios, completed by students as an assessment for the university's Mentoring in the Community module, are another adopted method. Findings are presented in a framework model encompassing key components of mentoring interaction (see Figure 1). This model represents a two-way process in which mentors and mentees interact, participate, and build a relationship despite differences in socioeconomic grouping, background, and character. It is hoped that mentoring projects can engage, refine, and apply the theoretical model devised from this research in programmes to ensure that relationships supporting vulnerable children, young people, and adults are able to stride forward; to help individuals achieve their full potential in all aspects of life; as well as to discover a trusted companion along the way.

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a well-known academic support model to address retention and student performance in higher education. However, in studies reporting the effect of SI, the number of attendees at SI sessions are seldom mentioned or reflected upon. This study investigates whether there is a lower, optimal, and upper number of SI attendees for SI sessions with viable learning conditions. A literature review of 135 publications on studies of SI programmes was conducted along with a survey of 44 SI Leaders and 176 SI attendees at Lund University in Sweden. The literature review shows that there is no consensus regarding minimum, optimum, or maximum numbers of SI session size for viable learning conditions. In the survey, the number of attendees for optimal learning conditions was estimated to be 11-12 by both leaders and attendees. These respondents also estimated that if the number of attendees is below five or above 16 students, the learning conditions are likely to suffer. In the former case, this is attributed to too little collective knowledge, too few viewpoints, and a risk of the SI Leader being too prominent (less active participants). In the latter case, attendees are likely to find the conditions noisy and feel that they do not get seen, while the SI Leader may have difficulty structuring the session as well as getting an overview of the different group discussions. The results hint at the importance of reporting attendance numbers at an SI session. Otherwise, it is impossible for an outsider to determine whether the conditions were favourable for small group learning and thus makes it hard to judge SI's effectiveness.
