This approach integrated contextual picture sight words, sign language prompts, enrichment activities using word wheels, and a reward system through a word bank. The research methodology harnessed qualitative data collection techniques, and the acquired data was meticulously subjected to narrative analysis. This process yielded three distinct vignettes, each representing the unique learning journey of the three pupils involved in the study. The success of this approach hinged on repeated application, adequate pause intervals, and clear, succinct teacher instructions.

M-Learning refers to the use of mobile devices for the purpose of delivering educational content or learning experiences. Apps such as WhatsApp and Google Forms were harnessed as part of the strategy. Guided by Hendricks’ (2016) action research process, the study incorporated reflection, action, and evaluation phases. Data were qualitatively accrued from course presentation documents, student notebooks, and video recordings, then analysed and presented in a narrative format. This study not only enhanced PRS participants’ verbal and non-verbal communication skills but also provided a unique opportunity for educators to enhance their technology skills in a novel context. Abstrak Kajian tindakan berasaskan bilik darjah dalam konteks Sekolah Menengah di Malaysia ini menggariskan pendekatan integrasi untuk melaksanakan M-Pembelajaran bagi menjalankan kursus kemahiran komunikasi kepada Pembimbing Rakan Sebaya (PRS) sewaktu pandemik COVID-19. M-Pembelajaran merujuk kepada penggunaan peranti mudah alih untuk tujuan penyampaian kandungan pendidikan atau pengalaman pembelajaran. Aplikasi seperti WhatsApp dan Google Forms telah digunakan sebagai strategi M-Pembelajaran. Proses kajian tindakan Hendricks (2016) telah diadaptasi dengan merangkumi fasa refleksi, tindakan dan penilaian. Data dikumpulkan secara kualitatif melalui dokumen penyampaian kursus komunikasi, buku catatan murid, dan rakaman video. Kemudian, data tersebut dianalisis dan dipersembahkan secara naratif. Kajian ini bukan sahaja meningkatkan kemahiran komunikasi verbal dan bukan verbal PRS, tetapi juga memberikan peluang kepada guru untuk meningkatkan kemahiran teknologi mereka dalam konteks baharu.","PeriodicalId":473323,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Action Research","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134969422","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}

Through an exploration of key features and examples of this research approach, we demonstrate its unique contribution to the field of education. LET research places the individual at the centre of the research process, encouraging them to reflect on their own practices and develop ways to improve what they are doing in personally meaningful ways. This approach differs from conventional research methodologies that primarily focus on generating and analysing research data. In this article, we draw on insights from the work of Jack Whitehead, a leading LET researcher, to provide a comprehensive overview of the approach. Jack explores the concepts of valid explanation and video recording and their role in capturing and validating actions. Jack also discusses the relationship between LET and research theories and offers insights into how the research approach can contribute to human flourishing. Jack concludes with a discussion of the impact of published articles on others’ learning and how research impact can be evaluated. Overall, we provide an informative and valuable resource for researchers, educators, and practitioners seeking to understand and utilise LET research in their own context.","PeriodicalId":473323,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Action Research","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134969438","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}

I faced dilemmas involving parents as facilitators and intermediaries in helping to assess their children’s skills and tasks. I realised that good and continuous communication as well as maintaining positive relationships among pupils, parents, and teachers are very important in implementing meaningful PdPR. In addition, the preparation of a PdPR manual for parents is essential, and they need to be consulted about their roles and responsibilities when helping to complete their children’s assignments at home. This experience can serve as a lesson for teachers implementing PdPR and when giving homework assignments to pupils in the future. Abstrak Nukilan ini menceritakan pengalaman saya sebagai Guru Pendidikan Khas sepanjang tempoh pengajaran dan pembelajaran di rumah (PdPR) yang lalu. Saya menghadapi dilema semasa melibatkan ibu bapa sebagai fasilitator dan pemudah cara bagi membantu saya untuk membuat penilaian tugasan kemahiran pembuatan roti anak mereka. Saya menyedari bahawa komunikasi yang baik dan berterusan serta menjaga hubungan sesama murid, ibu bapa, dan guru amat penting bagi menjayakan PdPR yang bermakna. Selain itu, penyediaan manual PdPR kepada ibu bapa juga amat mustahak serta mereka perlu dirunding tentang peranan dan tanggungjawab untuk membantu menyempurnakan tugasan anak-anak di rumah. Pengalaman ini boleh dijadikan sebagai pengajaran untuk guru bagi melaksanakan PdPR pada masa hadapan dan semasa memberikan tugasan kerja rumah untuk murid.","PeriodicalId":473323,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Action Research","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134969440","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}

Storybooks are a crucial resource for helping pupils understand the world and connect it to their real-life experiences. The ‘funds of identity’ approach has been used across a range of research studies to create storybooks for deaf pupils. To further probe its potential, an action research study involving a ‘self-reflection’ cycle process was conducted in a primary school in Sabah, Malaysia involving eight deaf students. The qualitative and narrative findings of the study indicate that storybooks based on the funds of identity have increased pupils’ interest in reading and helped them connect the story with their reality. In short, these books are important in improving the reading skills of deaf pupils.

Buku cerita adalah penting untuk membantu murid memahami dunia dan mengaitkannya dengan pengalaman hidup sebenar. Maka, pendekatan ‘identiti dana’ telah diadaptasikan dalam membina buku cerita yang bersesuaian dengan keperluan murid pekak. Kajian Tindakan menggunakan proses kitaran ‘refleksi-kendiri’ telah dijalankan di sebuah sekolah rendah di Sabah, Malaysia melibatkan lapan orang murid pekak. Dapatan kajian kualitatif dan naratif menunjukkan bahawa buku cerita berasaskan identiti dana telah meningkatkan minat murid dalam membaca, membantu murid membuat perkaitan dengan cerita sekali gus menambah baik penguasaan kemahiran membaca mereka.","PeriodicalId":473323,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Action Research","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134969607","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}
