The study's primary objectives are threefold: i) To evaluate the goodness-of-fit indices of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) measurement model, ii) to examine parameter estimates within the CFA measurement model and iii) to establish discriminant validity for the measured constructs. The measurement model's fitness is assessed using data collected from a survey of 374 undergraduate students and analyzed through AMOS. Goodness-of-fit indices, including the Comparative Fit Index (CFI), Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA), and Normed Chi-Square (cmin/df), are employed to validate the model's fit with the data. Additionally, the study investigates convergent and discriminant validity of the instruments by scrutinizing disattenuated correlations among the constructs. Notably, this research expands Amabile's Componential Theory by incorporating proactive personality into the model. The study's findings hold potential value for enhancing program syllabuses, co-curricular activities, and soft-skill enhancement programs within higher learning institutions.","PeriodicalId":487075,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135247540","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}

Consequently, these have forced wildlife to encroach upon human settlements, resulting in conflicts between humans and wildlife. While authorities have taken steps to address the issue, it is essential for them to start prioritizing preventive strategies including the environmental education program. In such program, the theory of emotional attachment (EA) can serve as a valuable tool in finding ways to educate people in protecting the environment by significantly impact human behaviour. Realizing the potential of wildlife conservation centre as ecotourism destination, specifically in resource conservation, this paper aims to understand the viability of the National Elephant Conservation Centre as a desirable ecotourism site in promoting pro-environmental behaviour and how tourists develop their emotional attachment potential toward the centre. A survey research was carried out among visitors at a wildlife conservation centre by employing the Structural Equation Modeling as the central framework in further examination of relationship between variables. Finding of the study showed that emotional attachment was confirmed with three multi-dimensions include place identity, place dependence and place affect had significant relationship with pro-environmental behaviour of domestic tourist at the centre. This study had proposed that wildlife conservation should be promoted as environmental education in carrying out its roles in propagating pro-environmental messages.","PeriodicalId":487075,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"5 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135247670","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}

This approach considers the students’ unique cultural and linguistic backgrounds and aims to incorporate their traditional knowledge and practices into the curriculum. By doing so, students can understand the relevance of their studies, including the subjects of mathematics in their daily lives and gain a deeper understanding of the subject. Furthermore, involving the community and utilizing culturally relevant materials and activities has increased student engagement and motivation in learning mathematics. This concept paper discusses implementing Indigenous Pedagogy methods in teaching mathematics that can enhance academic outcomes and promote cultural preservation among Orang Asli students. In addition, this concept paper also discusses the difficulties of Orang Asli students in learning mathematics at the primary school level and how Indigenous pedagogy, which is widely practised in many countries, can help tackle the issue. The concept paper delves into the roles of various parties in enhancing the usage of Indigenous pedagogy in Mathematics teaching and learning for Orang Asli students. These parties comprise the Ministry of Education, the Department of Orang Asli Development, NGOs, teachers, parents, and the Orang Asli communities. By collaborating and pooling their resources, the cultural and environmental barriers faced by Orang Asli students in Malaysia can be effectively addressed, eventually enhancing their academic performance.","PeriodicalId":487075,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135247677","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}

For non-native speakers of English, acquiring the language is an intricate journey that demands substantial time and effort, accompanied by a range of challenges. In recent years, English movies have emerged as captivating tools for language learning, effectively aiding in enhancing vocabulary and essential language skills. These insights stem from past research that studied how non-native speakers learn English through movies. However, despite the valuable findings from these studies, there remains a discernible gap in our understanding of this field. In addressing this gap, the current study intended to investigate the perception and motivation of non-native speakers in learning English through movies. The study collected data by conducting surveys among non-native English speakers who were undergraduate students at a local public university. The findings revealed that these non-native speakers favour using movies as a method for learning English as a second language, and this medium enhances their motivation to learn. Building upon the existing foundation of research, this study significantly contributes to the body of knowledge by addressing the substantial research gap that exists in comprehending non-native speakers' perspectives on learning the English language through the medium of movies.","PeriodicalId":487075,"journal":{"name":"Malaysian Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135248091","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}

Looking into this point, literature regarding the factors contributing to delinquent behaviours in adolescents involved in delinquency indicates that parental neglect, peer pressure, low trust in teachers, lack of self-esteem, attention-seeking and risk-taking might be possible stereotypes upon adolescents involved in delinquency. This study proposes that close friends and acquaintances of delinquent adolescents might have different perspectives in terms of stereotyping adolescents involved in delinquency. With that, this study examined the differences in stereotypes on adolescents involved in delinquency, considering the factors established by literature regarding delinquent behaviors. The study aims to investigate the perspectives on this topic between close friends to delinquent adolescents (versus acquaintances) in the Malaysian context. 160 participants (Malaysian close friends versus acquaintances) were recruited to complete an online survey.
