Publication Exploring Learners’ Perception of Different Types of Reading Strategies in Academic Reading(Human Resource Management Academic Research Societ, 2023) ;Sakinatul Ain Jelani ;Nurul Hannan Mahmud ;Nur Hidayah Md Yazid ;Nur Safura Binti Ab. Ghaffar ;Nur Jalilah Abdul AzizNoor Hanim RahmatThis study was intended to find out learners’ perception of different types of reading strategies in Academic Reading. The utilization of reading strategies is important so that learners will be able to comprehend reading materials effectively. According to Khairiani (2012), the utilization of reading strategies has been recognized as a crucial element in enhancing students’ reading comprehension. The study is also aimed at transforming the learners’ perception on the difficulties of reading and lessening their views of it as being burdensome. The purpose of this quantitative study is to identify how learners perceive their use of reading strategies (Global Reading Strategies, Problem-Solving Reading Strategies and Support Reading Strategies). A questionnaire to explore motivation factors for learning among undergraduates was administered to 113 foundation students. The instrument used is a 5 Likert-scale survey rooted from Mokhtari & Reichard (2002) and it consists of 4 sections. Section A has items on Demographic Profile. Section B has 13 items on Global Reading Strategies. Section C has 8 items on Problem-Solving Strategies and Section D has 9 items on Support Reading Strategies. Findings showed that these strategies will contribute to an overall comprehension in Academic Reading and it has also been found that there is a positiverelationship across all reading strategies. It is recommended to study the effect of reading strategies on learners’ achievement and future researchers may also explore other avenues to further expand the reading strategies such as the usage of technological devices that are built to accommodate learners. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Exploring Postgraduate Students' Of Negotiated Curriculum(Elsevier- Science Direct, 2014) ;Nur Safura Binti Ab. Ghaffar ;Nur Hidayah Md Yazid ;Mumtaz Najiah Musa ;Nur Syarah Farhah Mohd Noor ;Nurul Munirah AzamriFaizah Abd MajidThis study aimed to explore postgraduate students’ perceptions of negotiated curriculum. The statement of problem is whether rigid curriculum is still relevant to postgraduate students’ learning. As the postgraduates are adult learners, they are generally working, family, and have other commitments than typical undergraduate students. This in turn suggests for a negotiated curriculum. Boomer (1992:227) defines classrooms in which teachers invite and allow students to help construct the learning journey as “negotiating the curriculum”. Comparatively, “curriculum negotiation involves giving students a voice in the choice and development of learning opportunities: both the “what” and the “how” of curriculum” (Carr & Kemmis, 1986, p. 171). A total of 30 TESL postgraduate students in UiTM participated in this study. An adapted questionnaire was used to collect the relevant data. Findings revealed that the respondents were aware of the existence of negotiated curriculum. It was also discovered that the main factor for the implementation of negotiated curriculum was hectic schedules of the postgraduate students. The major implication of negotiated curriculum is that it helps postgraduate students in managing their time to study and gives positive effect towards their learning strategies. The findings from this study will benefit students and also instructors at the same time through the implementation of negotiated curriculum in the classroom
