Abstract
The
teaching of Mathematics and Science in English has become a much-discussed
topic in Malaysian education system. This switch in the medium
of instruction has caused great concern among parents, students
and teachers. Among the many Language Support Programmes, undertaken
by the Ministry of Education to help Mathematics and Science teachers
cope with the teaching of these subjects in English, is a mentoring
programme called the Buddy Support System. The Buddy Support System
aims to provide resource persons in schools to help Mathematics
and Science teachers improve their English Language proficiency.
When approached by two colleagues to help them with their English
Language proficiency, I decided to form a Buddy Support System
in my work place, being a 'critical friend' to my two 'buddies'.
This action research explores features of our Buddy Support System
that brought about its success. It also seeks to discover certain
aspects of personal growth among the 'buddies' and their 'critical
friend' in this onsite support system.[Kandungan]

Abstract
This
survey research study aims to gather feedback about the understanding,
implementation and perceived effects of the QMS implementation
in the Institute. The information is collected through a questionaire.
78 respondents comprising the academic and administrative staff
of Institut Perguruan Gaya were involved in the survey. Quantitative
data was analysed using SPSS. Written comments were entered into
a document file and analyzed through manual coding and patterning.
On the whole, the staff of Institut Perguruan Gaya perceived that
they understood quite well the MS ISO 9001:2000 system. It was
found that direct involvement in the implementation engendered
more understanding, more involvement and favorable perception
of the effects of the QMS. There is a need to have more staff
involved directly in the implementation of the MS ISO 9001:2000
system. The staff did not think that the MS ISO 9001:2000 lightened
workload.[Kandungan]

Abstract
The
nature of Physics is such that there is the quest to find the
all embracing fundamental concepts. Historically the discovery
of such fundamental concepts have resulted in major breakthroughs
both theoretically and practically. This paper seeks to posit
the possibility of using these "Big Ideas of Physics"
as the basic framework to teach Physics more efficiently to young
learners. It also suggests that concept mapping could be a graphic
tool that could be utilised for this end.[Kandungan]

majority of published studies in educational research are seriously
flawed, containing analytical and interpretational errors. The
purpose of this paper is to highlight and discuss some major errors
and misuses when educational researchers applied one way analysis-of-variance
(ANOVA) F Test as their data analysis tool. This article intended
to equip readers with the basic ANOVA F test procedure, output
from Statistical Packege for the Social Sciences (SPSS) to aid
understanding of the procedure. Various parametric and nonparametric
alternatives to the F test under assumption violations conditions
are briefly discussed. Also contained in this essay recommendations
and guidelines for good data analytic practices for ANOVA F test
that is based on the extant literature.[Kandungan]

Puisi
Melayu tradisional lahir dan berkembang secara popular dalam masyarakat
Melayu yang buta huruf. Puisi Melayu adalah warisan tradisi lisan,
yang diwarisi sejak turun temurun. Penciptaan atau proses kreativiti
puisi tersebut dilakukan dengan rapi sehingga dapat menghasilkan

Abstract
This
article draws on the existing literature on the concerns, problems,
and difficulties facing beginning teachers to discuss their needs
and its implications for induction. Discussion of the topic will
be dealt with through answering a series of questions posed as
headings. Beginning teachers need the continued support they enjoyed
during teacher training. They need proper induction into the school,
and a mentor to help and guide them through their first year.
And to remain effective, they need to be involved in continued
professional development. The transition from teacher training
institute classroom to school classroom is fraught with difficulties
and frustrations if carried out without help. New teachers need
assistance in the translation of theory and methods into the everyday
classroom practice. Induction dan mentoring is a good continuation
of support that allow the beginning teacher to learn and grow
in the process of professional development initiated during initial
teacher training.[Kandungan]
