The purpose of the project was to develop useful job skills in the Christian individuals entering the workforce, increase future earning potential and enhance employability. This empirical study depicted that more than 32 trades have been selected by the 500 apprentices, and it gave a systematic investigation review and opportunity to test the validity of different assumptions, in the form of hypotheses, before arriving at any findings. This study illustrated that 20% of the apprentices had adopted the profession of tailoring/sewing, whereas 17% of apprentices like to join the trade of beauticians/beauty parlor. These two professions are mostly adopted by girls. 15.6% of apprentices like to work at barber shops or hair salon, which is mostly occupied by boys. 74.4% of apprentices say that they will have significantly more chances of finding work in future, whereas the rest of the apprentices confirm that there will be slightly more chances to find work of their own interest in the future. 51.2% of apprentices stopped their studies due to financial issues & 34.8 % are those who couldn’t continue their studies because of a lack of interest in studies. There were different quantitative and qualitative methods of data gathering that were used during this empirical research study, which included surveys, experiments, and various observatory methods. Surveys are one of the most common methods that have been used in this study which were administered physically.","PeriodicalId":445152,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Learning and Development Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132092138","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}

In this study, a special educational program was applied to students in the primary stage, where that program and its effectiveness were tested on 200 students (ages: 6-12 years) who suffer from malnutrition, which led to their academic delay and low grades. The effectiveness of the program was evaluated by following up the academic average of students regularly for six consecutive weeks, which is the duration of that special program. The results and statistics have confirmed the effectiveness of the educational program for these students as a method for educating them about the importance of food and the basic nutrients that are important for a healthy body and mind and also a way for educating them in a theoretical and practical manner about appropriate nutritional behaviors, methods of cleaning food, washing hands before eating and about other contents of the program that was applied with the help of the school teachers.The application of the program has resulted in an increase in the academic averages of students and an up to 94.5% improvement in the level of weak students (rate 1). About 9.5% of students included in this study have got the highest academic average (rate 4), after applying the program for six weeks. The study thus recommends that different organizations and societies, especially schools, universities and educational bodies, apply special programs for people with malnutrition to increase health awareness and food culture for them and their families.","PeriodicalId":445152,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Learning and Development Studies","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115606139","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 students must complete three levels (I, II and III). Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the methodology of teaching the Arabic language was by using the traditional way, which was face-to-face instruction. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the methodology of teaching in UiTM has shifted to Open and Distance Learning (ODL). This new way of teaching affected the students’ acceptance of learning the Arabic language as they were familiar with the traditional method of teaching. This study aimed to get feedback on student’s acceptance of using Microsoft Teams in teaching and learning the Arabic language. The objectives of this study are (i) to evaluate the Perceived Usefulness (PU) of Microsoft Teams among UiTM Students learning Arabic Language, (ii) to assess the Perceived Ease of Use (PEU) of Microsoft Teams among UiTM Students learning Arabic Language and (iii) to investigate the students’ attitudes towards using Microsoft Teams in learning the Arabic language. The sample consisted of 121 students from three different faculties:  Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences (FSKM), Faculty of Sports Science and Recreation (FSR) and Faculty of Administrative Science and Policy Studies (FSPPP). The data were collected using Google Forms. The result shows that the students agreed that the application of Microsoft Teams for learning the Arabic language was easy to access, convenient and user-friendly. Other than that, they also agreed Microsoft Teams helped them to learn the Arabic language efficiently and perform a task quickly and were interested in using the apps for learning. It is suggested that MS Teams is one of the convenient online applications that can be used in learning the Arabic language via the Open Distance Learning (ODL) mode.","PeriodicalId":445152,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Learning and Development Studies","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115195415","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 data was collected through a survey conducted on eight foreign companies that employ employees with Japanese language skills. This research shows that the industry's need for Japanese language proficiency tests is still very high. Specifically, the industry requires graduates with business communication skills in Japanese and graduates who have mastery of the vocabulary of industrial terminology. It is a challenge for vocational graduates, so there is continuity between vocational graduates and the needs of the industrial world. In addition, English language and soft skills, the ability to work in teams, and high integrity are still needed in the industrial world.","PeriodicalId":445152,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Learning and Development Studies","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117168740","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}
