The Introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT) course in the third semester of the Certificate in Information Technology program at Community College presents unique challenges. Students need visualization skills and creative thinking to understand microcontroller concepts, describe installation processes, and write program code. Effective teaching aids are crucial for learning electronics, including circuit design, simulation, microcontroller connections, programming, and testing. However, the syllabus does not adequately address the visualization skills needed for understanding microcontrollers. This study focuses on developing an Augmented Reality (AR) module to address these issues. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with three experienced instructors, including a curriculum developer with expertise in information technology and electronics. The interviews transcribed and analyzed using ATLAS.ti software revealed unanimous agreement on the need for teaching aids, particularly for microcontrollers and electronic components design. The respondents advocated for a digital learning platform, with an AR module as the proposed solution. The findings highlight the urgency and efficacy of developing an AR module for teaching the IoT course. This solution aims to bridge gaps in the educational system, enhancing student understanding and engagement, with implications for lecturers, researchers, and the Ministry of Higher Education.
社区学院信息技术证书课程第三学期的物联网（IoT）介绍课程提出了独特的挑战。学生需要形象化技能和创造性思维来理解微控制器概念、描述安装过程和编写程序代码。有效的教学辅助工具对学习电子技术至关重要，包括电路设计、模拟、微控制器连接、编程和测试。然而，教学大纲并没有充分涉及理解单片机所需的可视化技能。本研究的重点是开发一个增强现实（AR）模块来解决这些问题。采用定性方法，对三位经验丰富的教师进行了半结构化访谈，其中包括一位具有信息技术和电子专业知识的课程开发人员。使用 ATLAS.ti 软件对访谈内容进行转录和分析后发现，受访者一致认为需要教学辅助工具，尤其是微控制器和电子元件设计方面的辅助工具。受访者主张使用数字学习平台，并提出了 AR 模块作为解决方案。调查结果凸显了开发 AR 模块用于物联网课程教学的紧迫性和有效性。该解决方案旨在弥合教育系统中的差距，增强学生的理解力和参与度，并对讲师、研究人员和高等教育部产生影响。

Technology transfer (TT) constitutes a primary focus of government initiatives in Malaysia, aimed at augmenting the forecasted compounded annual growth rate (CAGR). Notable governmental investment has been channelled into research, development, commercialisation, and innovation, with the overarching objective of catalysing technological innovation conducive to the application and adoption of technology within industries and communities. Despite the engagement of various stakeholders in this endeavour, previous studies have underscored the capability of Technology Transfer Professionals (TTPs) as a central constraint, thereby complicating the process. Through qualitative inquiry, this study identifies several factors contributing to these obstacles, including commercialisation awareness, government support, technology maturity, and TTP skillset, which may impede the technology transfer process. Accordingly, the study aims to explore the challenges hindering TTP performance and propose fundamental talent requirements – training model for enhancing their work efficacy.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between perceived transformational leadership and work performance based on social exchange theory in the context of higher education institutions. Meanwhile, the paper also aims to test the role of self-efficacy working as a mediating variable in this relationship, since the potential mediating mechanism has found its support in the theoretical context of social cognitive theory, where interaction and influence take place among environmental, personal, and behavioral elements. Thus, this study may offer a better understanding of the role played by personality traits such as self-efficacy in the influential path of transformational leadership toward work performance. The research findings from a different sample (lecturers) and context (higher education) will not only broaden the existing literature but also encourage future research initiatives on the topic.

In the rapidly changing economic environment driven by globalization, shifting customer and investor needs, and increasing product-market rivalry, public organizations face immense pressure to enhance their performance. Strategic management practices, which involve the planning, directing, organizing, and controlling of strategies, are essential for achieving organizational objectives. Despite the theoretical and empirical support for the positive impact of strategic management on organizational performance, there is limited understanding of the underlying mechanisms that mediate this relationship. This study explores the theoretical framework of the mediation roles of organizational commitment and teamwork in the relationship between strategic management practices and public organizations' performance. Strategic management, a continuous process encompassing the planning, directing, organizing, and controlling of strategies, is vital for achieving organizational objectives. It involves evaluating business environments, setting goals, and reassessing strategies to ensure their effectiveness. This study posits that organizational commitment enhances teamwork, as committed employees are more inclined to collaborate towards common goals, thus fostering effective team dynamics. Teamwork, in turn, facilitates the implementation of strategic management practices by enabling better information sharing, coordination, and conflict resolution. Consequently, effective teamwork and strong organizational commitment can significantly enhance the impact of strategic management on organizational performance. The findings indicate that cooperation and organizational commitment are essential mediators in the link between strategic management practices and organizational success. This theoretical framework highlights the importance of strategic management in improving organizational performance by reducing costs, developing innovative goods and processes, and enhancing quality, productivity, and market

As a result, the students’ academic performance will naturally be affected. This main aim of this study is to investigate the sources of occupational stress experienced by primary school EFL teachers in Shanxi Province teaching English as a Foreign Language. The research design employed in this study is qualitative in nature. Twelve teachers were selected using purposive sampling technique. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twelve teachers in the school. The interviews were recorded and transcribed manually. Data collected were reviewed meticulously to develop themes and codes. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis. Findings showed that the sources of stress experienced by primary school EFL teachers in Shaanxi Province were workload, external demands, maintaining classroom order, availability of resources, additional duties outside of teaching, and individual circumstances. The findings from this study have demonstrated that teachers need the social support that serves as a safeguard for them against stress in a broad sense.
