In this study, callus induction of three different varieties of A.annua, namely T1, T2 and Hi varieties was carried out using leaf explants on Murashige & Skoog (MS) and Litvay (LV) media with three different supplementations. MS medium added with 0.5 mg/L BA, 0.5 mg/L NAA and 0.5 g/L of casein hydrolysate (CH) induced the highest yield of callus biomass compared to the effect of picloram- or 2,4-enriched MS medium. T2 variety was found to be the highest yielding variety in this medium. Picloram-enriched MS medium induced better callus in term of callus biomass and friability than 2,4-enriched medium. Hi variety induced in MS medium added with 0.5 mg/L picloram produced highest callus biomass among the three varieties. Callus formed on 0.5 mg/L picloram was also much more easily dispersed than callus of all three varieties cultured in the other two MS medium. LV-based medium was generally shown to be poor in inducing callogenic response from leaf explants. Therefore Hi callus sourced from MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L picloram was selected to initiate liquid cell culture of A. annua which can further be explored for production of artemisinin, an anti-malarial compound. \u0000Abbreviations: MS – Murashige and Skoog’s salts and vitamins [1]; LV – Litvay medium [2]; BA – 6- benzyladenine; NAA – alpha-napthaleneacetic acid; 2,4-D – 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid; picloram – 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid, CH – casein hydrolysate","PeriodicalId":11475,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATUM Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76746291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The attitude in this study included interest, perception towards science and motivation. The study was carried out in Johor Bahru, Johor. The study adopted quantitative descriptive research designs and questionnaires were used in the study. A total of 370 respondents constituted the sample of the study, which included Form 2 lower secondary students from Johor Bahru. Data was analysed to obtain frequency, mean and standard deviation. The results revealed that laboratory activity, curiosity to discovery science and science as a tool to understand the world is able to improve science learning. As a conclusion, interest especially created by laboratory activity, perception of student when they are curios to discovery science and motivation factor when students know that science as a tool to understand the world are able to improve students science learning in lower secondary schools in Johor Bahru. The implication was that school teachers could prepare more laboratory activities in science lesson. They also can stimulate students’ curiosity to discovery science and related science knowledge to the world so that students are interested and motivated to learn science. Future studies on this subject would be beneficial to understand more deeply the relationship between student personal factors with science achievement.","PeriodicalId":11475,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATUM Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology","volume":"18 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91427850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this application was hindered because of their low dispersion in polymer matrix and tendency to self-associate into macro-scale aggregates. Recently, diffusion of MWCNTs in cellulose polymer matrix was studied and prepared via latex technology approaches by the addition of 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium (BMIM)-surfactant. The performance of BMIM-surfactants for dispersing MWCNTs in polymer was characterized using a range of techniques including field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Meanwhile, the conductivities of the nanocomposites were also investigated using four-point probe measurements. In this study, MWCNTs were efficiently dispersed in cellulose utilizing 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium-dodecyl benzene sulfonate (BMIM-DBS). Interestingly, it was found that BMIM-DBS performs much better than that of the commercially available surfactant sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS), demonstrating the importance of the effect of surfactant counter-ion leading to improved dispersion of MWCNTs in cellulose. This finding will significantly contribute towards the improvement of properties of cellulose for nanocomposite industries.","PeriodicalId":11475,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATUM Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76704419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the emphasis on this aspect is still low especially among science educators as well as secondary science students which in the long run will retard the production of knowledge worker who are able to behave when confronted with life’s problems. The study addressed the integration of Thinking Based Learning (TBL) and the 6E Instructional Model as a teaching approach in nurturing habits of mind among secondary students while doing their Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) project. The study involved 30 students from a Lower Secondary School in a sub urban school in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Students were given a STEM Raft Module integrating TBL and 6E Instructional Model for five weeks to come out with a model of a raft based on science concepts using material available in their community. Data of the study were captured from students’ documentation analysis, classroom observation using camera and video cam recording, and interview. The findings showed that TBL and 6E Instructional Model can nurture habits of mind among secondary students while doing their STEM project. Seven characteristics of habits of mind have been identified; (1) questioning and problem solving, (2) listening with understanding and empathy, (3) thinking about your thinking, (4) thinking flexibility, (5) applying past knowledge to novel situations, (6) creating, imagining and innovating and (7) thinking independently. \u0000 Keywords: Habits of mind, Thinking Based Learning, the 6E Instructional Model, STEM project","PeriodicalId":11475,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATUM Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84682059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data collected was analyzed by a phenomenological reduction method. The results of students’ procedural knowledge were categorized into assumption determination (54,84%), strategy development (22,58%), chemical equation (41,94%), factors affecting the equation (61,29%), using the other knowledge (29,03%), quantitative analysis (38,71%), and alternative strategy (25,81%). According to the operator in each framework answer, the result of students’ answers of chemical equilibrium problem-solving skills was classified into phenomenological and formalism answers. In phenomenological answers, students began their framework from the chemical equation to factors affecting the equilibrium shift. In the formalism answer, the students began their framework from the information given in the problems and related it to the stoichiometry and alternative ways to find the final states (goals).
