Mata Pelajaran Vokasional Kimpalan Arka dan Gas (MPV-KAG) is an initiative of the Ministry of Education (Malaysia) to provide opportunities for students in academic secondary schools who have not succeeded in getting a place in Sekolah Menengah Teknik (SMT) or Sekolah Menengah Vokasional (SMV). Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the readiness for the implementation of vocational subjects (gas and arc welding) in daily secondary schools in Malaysia. A total of 106 students who took the MPV-KAG course at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Malim, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Ledang, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Ungku Husin, and Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Ungku Aziz were involved in this study. The questionnaires for this study were distributed to students who took the MPV-KAG course at the four daily secondary schools. This study uses a descriptive analysis method (mean and standard deviation). The reliability value for the study instrument is α = 0.86. Overall, the results of the study showed that the level of willingness of students to follow MPV-KAG courses, the level of opportunities given by the teacher to the students in doing activities according to their own abilities during the teaching and learning process, and the availability of sufficient, functional, and appropriate workshop equipment facilities throughout the MPV practical class were at a high level, with a mean value of (M = 4.11, M = 4.06, M = 4.29). In conclusion, this study found that the implementation of MPV-KAG in daily secondary schools in Malaysia is in good condition.
Mata Pelajaran vokional Kimpalan Arka dan Gas (MPV-KAG)是马来西亚教育部的一项倡议,旨在为在学术中学中未能成功进入Sekolah Menengah Teknik (SMT)或Sekolah Menengah vocational (SMV)的学生提供机会。因此,本研究旨在评估马来西亚日常中学实施职业科目(气体和弧焊)的准备情况。共有106名学生参与了这项研究,他们参加了马来西亚国立大学、马来西亚国立大学、马来西亚国立大学、马来西亚国立大学、马来西亚国立大学和马来西亚国立大学的MPV-KAG课程。本研究的问卷分布在四所普通中学的MPV-KAG课程学生中。本研究采用描述性分析方法(均值和标准差)。研究仪器的信度值为α = 0.86。总体而言,研究结果显示,学生对MPV- kag课程的学习意愿水平、教师在教学过程中根据自身能力给予学生活动机会的水平,以及整个MPV实践课中充足、功能齐全、合适的车间设备设施的可用性处于较高水平,平均值为(M = 4.11, M = 4.06, M = 4.29)。综上所述,本研究发现马来西亚日常中学的MPV-KAG实施情况良好。

Job satisfaction refers to an employee's positive or contented feelings about his or her work. Significantly, the job satisfaction of TVET educators will impact academic achievement, engagement, and student well-being. Thus, this study aimed to determine job satisfaction among TVET instructors at vocational colleges, which involved 44 lecturers from the Vocational College in Negeri Sembilan. This quantitative study employs 50 questions covering five factors: working conditions, salary, direct supervision, coworkers, and promotion opportunities. The Statistical Package for Social Science Version 22.0 software analysed the data. The study results indicate that overall job satisfaction among TVET instructors at the Vocational College is moderate. The colleague factor is at the highest level of satisfaction, while the promotion opportunities factor is at the lowest level of satisfaction. The data analysis also revealed no significant correlation between job satisfaction and gender, expertise, or years of experience. In order to improve the quality of teaching and the commitment of lecturers, stakeholders need to increase the level of job satisfaction of lecturers by offering them more promotion opportunities. At the same time, the lecturers should take advantage of the excellent teacher pathway opportunities for career advancement.
