Peribahasa yang melambangkan kebijaksanaan masyarakat Melayu ini semakin terpinggir dalam sistem pendidikan dan menyebabkan falsafah dan akal budi penutur jati tidak dapat diekplorasi sepenuhnya. Semantik inkuisitif merupakan pendekatan kajian makna peribahasa yang melibatkan data, teori, kognitif, falsafah dan akal budi yang digunakan untuk memahami makna peribahasa dengan lebih mendalam dan menyeluruh. Kajian ini bertujuan menggabungjalinkan pendekatan semantik inkuisitif dengan kandungan pengajaran peribahasa melalui pendidikan Bahasa Melayu.\u0000\u0000\u0000Metodologi - Kajian berbentuk kualitatif ini menggunakan data-data peribahasa yang diambil daripada sukatan mata pelajaran Bahasa Melayu tingkatan satu hingga lima. Data-data peribahasa ini dikelaskan mengikut tema-tema yang diperoleh daripada kamus peribahasa. Seterusnya, Rangka Rujuk Silang (RRS) diaplikasikan mengikut kesesuaian konteks pembelajaran Bahasa Melayu.

Considering the rapid changes and transformations of the 21st century, it has become essential for teachers to possess this characteristic. Moreover, measuring learner autonomy is required to determine their levels. Thus, the purpose of this two-phased study was to adapt the Autonomous Learning Scale into Turkish and to investigate academic motivation and self-efficacy as the predictors of autonomous learning.\u0000\u0000\u0000Methodology - In the first phase, the Autonomous Learning Scale was adapted into Turkish with the participation of 335 pre-service teachers. In the second phase of the study, the autonomous learning of pre-service teachers was investigated in terms of a number of demographic variables along with academic self-efficacy and academic motivation using the data obtained from 776 pre-service teachers with a survey method.\u0000\u0000\u0000Findings - For the first phase, the confirmatory factor analysis showed that Autonomous Learning Scale was a valid and reliable tool to be used in Turkish samples. For the second phase, the regression analysis revealed that academic self-efficacy and academic motivation were significant predictors of autonomous learning of pre-service teachers. Additionally, their autonomous learning significantly differed in terms of department, high school type, and gender. Furthermore, the GPAs of the pre-service teachers were significantly correlated with their autonomous learning levels.\u0000\u0000\u0000Significance - The Turkish version of the Autonomous Learning Scale was presented to researchers. The relationships between autonomous learning and self-efficacy along with motivation have been asserted in a number of studies. However, the present study not only confirmed the correlations among these variables, but also revealed the predictive powers of these variables on autonomous learning. Therefore, teacher educators and policy makers can gain insights from these findings.","PeriodicalId":344259,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Learning and Instruction (MJLI) Vol. 16, (No.2) Dec 2019","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121854195","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}

A framework of comprehensive shipping operation was developed according to the syllabus of the Shipping Management course in Universiti Utara Malaysia. The course core content in the game covers two main services—liner service and tramp service in the shipping industry.\u0000\u0000\u0000Methodology – A quasi-experimental research design has been adopted to measure the effectiveness of the board game in post-learning. Data were gathered from a sample of 73 undergraduate students who enrolled in Shipping Management course using non-equivalent control group design. The data was analysed using McNemar Test to determine the effect of the students’ achievement.\u0000\u0000\u0000Findings – The findings of this study revealed that using board game in learning activities can contribute to the improvement of students’ knowledge and skill. Further analysis indicated that there were differences in students’ achievement for the tramp services and liner services content.
