In order to ensure that our country is able to provide enough human capital in the future, Malaysia is striving hard to improve the quality of its science education system. Various strategies have been regulated but still, the percentage of students taking science stream keeps dropping each year. Thus, science education scholars need to focus their attention by examining the impact of socioculture factor on students' interest in science. This article reviews a few socioculture point of views which affect science education progress. It discusses the pros and contras that arise when modern science that originates from the west clashes with the culture, traditions and beliefs of non-western students. This study is important to ensure that the human capital produced by our education system is capable of competing at the global stage without sacrificing our identity, beliefs and cultural heritage.

Effective instructional strategies have been highlighted in teaching Quantum physics (QP) since this topic is theoretically complex and different from classical physics. In addressing this issue, a needs analysis (NA) was carried out to identify the anticipated challenges in QP learning and facilitation (L&F) and the integration of STEM education in a physics classroom. This research is a qualitative study where a semi-structured interview was conducted with two experts in physics education and two physics teachers selected under a purposive sampling approach. The interview was one-on-one through online platforms, held during the Covid-19 pandemic’s mobility control order (MCO). The data from the semi-structured interview was analysed using thematic analysis, and the findings were presented as thematic maps. Two major themes emerged from the thematic analysis: 1) the expectation in QP L&F based on experts’ and teachers’ views and 2) the discrepancies in SSQP-STEM L&F gathered from the teachers’ opinions and perspectives. The first theme denotes 1.1) teachers’ professional development, 1.2) pedagogical content knowledge, 1.3) instructional strategy, and 1.4) QP L&F resources. The second theme describes the discrepancies of SSQP-STEM L&F in terms of 2.1) QP nature, 2.2) insufficiency of resources in QP L&F, and 2.3) teachers’ perceptions of students’ characteristics in the physics classroom, and 2.4) the teachers’ competencies issues in teaching QP. Overall, the finding shows that a practical instructional module needs to be developed to cater to the physics teachers' demands.

Modern technological applications made quantum physics (QP) an important subject to include in secondary school curricula in other countries before it did so in Malaysia. Secondary school students in our county will be educated using the new, revised curriculum when QP goes into effect in 2021. Consequently, a study was done to determine the level of content knowledge and teacher readiness for teaching secondary school quantum physics in Sabah. A cross-sectional survey method was used to gather data from a sample of 175 Sabah Form Five Physics teachers, who were chosen through a multistage cluster sampling process. The research instrument used an adapted and modified questionnaire. The reliability values of this instruments were high at .87. The IBM SPSS version 28.0 software was used to analyze the study data. According to the findings of the study, physics teachers have a moderate level of content knowledge (m = 6.78) and teacher readiness (m = 6.96). Using the data from this study, the Malaysian Ministry of Education and policymakers can get a clear image of how prepared Physics teachers are for QP implementation once it is implemented in 2021.The implications of the study show that content knowledge towards teacher readiness of teaching secondary school QP is crucial to improve the quality of QP teaching.

It is indisputable that developing pre-service teachers’ lesson-planning skills plays a key role in the language teacher training program. However, lesson planning is currently inadequately evaluated as a laborious task to many pre-service teachers, and they encounter a host of difficulties in tailoring a meticulous lesson plan. Since there is not much research into this subject in Vietnam, this paper is carried out with the purpose of investigating the difficulties in designing lesson plans experienced by pre-service teachers at the University of Foreign Language Studies – the University of Danang. This research employs qualitative approach of the data collected from questionnaire and semi-structured interview. The subject involves in the research are pre-service teachers majoring in English Language Teacher Education. Seventy (70) trainee teachers took part in the questionnaire at the first stage of data collection. Among these participants, at the second stage for semi-structured interview, the recording was administered to a population of ten (10) pre-service teachers who were chosen randomly with convenience. Hopefully, the research would serve as a source of reference for trainee teachers, in particular and teachers of English in general.

This introductory Volume I presents six chapters of articles related to research in education, in particular North Borneo from the three countries: Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam. It is essential that the focus of research in education is to improve practice in the teaching and learning (Mohd. Zaki, 2009) in any curriculum. The practice is not only, about content knowledge, but also, issues related to pedagogy, psychology, sociology, and assessment. Other than practice, Millar (2003) emphasizes the importance of insights that a teacher can see the familiar in a new way, by sharpening thinking, by directing attention to important issues, by clarifying problems, challenging established views, encouraging debate and stimulating curiosity. The focus, practice and insights, are reflected in these six articles.

Objektif kajian adalah untuk meneliti faktor situasi keluarga (kawalan, keperihatinan sosial, konflik keluarga) dengan penghargaan kendiri dalam kalangan pelajar bermasalah sekolah menengah di Pedalaman Pantai Timur Sabah. Kaedah tinjau selidik telah digunakan dalam kajian ini sebagai reka bentuk kajian dengan menggunakan jenis pensampelan bertujuan. Terdapat 494 orang pelajar terlibat dalam kajian ini iaitu seramai 349 terdiri pelajar lelaki dan seramai 145 adalah pelajar perempuan. Beck Codependence Assessment Scale (BCAS) yang dibangunkan oleh Beck (1991) merupakan instrumen kajian yang digunakan untuk mengukur kebergantungan pelajar manakala alat kajian Rosenberg Self–Esteem (RSE) (Rosenberg, 1965) digunakan bagi mengukur penghargaan kendiri. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan perisian Statistical Package For Social Science (SPSS) - Windows 18.0. Statistik deskriptif dan inferensi digunakan bagi menjawab soalan dan hipotesis kajian. Hasil kajian mempamerkan penghargaan kendiri dalam kalangan pelajar yang bermasalah adalah berada pada tahap sederhana iaitu 69.2%. Di samping itu, hasil ANOVA Sehala menunjukkan terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan bagi penghargaan kendiri berdasarkan pendapatan F (6,487) =2.94, p< 0.05). Hasil kajian juga menunjukkan terdapat korelasi yang signifikan antara faktor situasi keluarga (konflik keluarga) dengan penghargaan kendiri (r = .22, p<0.05). Namun begitu, dapatan kajian juga mendapati tidak terdapat korelasi yang signifikan bagi faktor situasi keluarga (kawalan dan keperihatinan sosial) dengan penghargaan kendiri. Implikasi kajian ini menjelaskan pelajar–pelajar yang bermasalah ini harus diberi perhatian yang lebih serius oleh pihak sekolah terutama dengan menyediakan khidmat bimbingan dan kaunseling berkala supaya mereka mempunyai peluang yang sama dengan pelajar lain dalam membentuk jati diri yang lebih mencerlah. The objectives of the study were to examine family situational factors (control, social concerns, family conflicts) related to the self-esteem among problematic students in the rural secondary schools, Eastern Coast of Sabah. A survey method has been employed in this study as a research design, using a purposeful sampling. There were 494 students who were involved in this study in which 349 male and 145 female. Beck Codependence Assessment Scale (BCAS), developed by Beck (1991), is an instrument employed to measure students’ dependency, while Rosenberg Self–Esteem (RSE) (Rosenberg, 1965) is employed to measure self-esteem. Data were analysed using software of Statistical Package For Social Science (SPSS) - Windows 18.0. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to answer research questions and hypothesis. Findings showed that self-esteem among the problematic students were at the moderate level, 69.2 %. ANOVA indicated that there was a statitically significant different for self-esteem based on income F (6,487) =2.94, p < 0.05). Findings also showed that there was a statiticall

Suicide statistics obtained from the World Health Organization in 2014 revealed that approximately one million people worldwide die from suicide every year which is equivalent to one death every 40 seconds. Since suiciderates throughout Asia are higher than in Western countries, it was hypothesized that rates of self-hurt might also be higher. In recent years, adolescent self-harm behaviour has become an issue of major concern in the international arena. There is virtually no empirical data about self-harm in Malaysia, as the subject remainsa taboo. Records showing the prevalence of such behaviour among Malaysian Chinese adolescents are only available from non-government organizations and newspaper reports. Hence, any pioneer research carried out in this area should take cognizance of self-harm behaviour among the ethnic Chinese. The data obtained would then be compared with results from other countries.
