A systematic review of user perceptions and acceptance of virtual reality toward vocational training innovation
Systematic literature review
Introduction Gamification has emerged as a prominent strategy for enhancing teacher professional development. Despite growing interest, no systematic review has specifically examined gamification applications in teacher professional training contexts. Methods This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines to examine gamification integration in teacher professional training. A comprehensive search across four databases (Scopus, Web of Scie…
Digital literacy among primary school teachers
Although inclusive education is widely recognized as essential, there appears to be a lack of appropriate instruments for assessing the digital literacy of teachers working in inclusive settings. To address this gap, an instrument to measure the digital literacy of primary school teachers involved in inclusive education in Malaysia was designed and validated. The instrument development process comprised three main phases: (1) formulation of gener…
Virtual reality for sustainable and responsible pedagogy in art and design education
This systematic review examines the role of Virtual Reality (VR) in advancing sustainable and responsible pedagogical innovation in art and design education. Drawing on 52 peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2025, it synthesizes evidence across educational technology, leadership, and sustainability research. The review introduces a novel TAM-SDT-DL framework that integrates the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Self-Determination Th…
Effects of viewing digital environment images on college students’ positive emotions, nature relatedness, and environmental preference
Purpose This study aims to investigate the impact of viewing different types of digital environment images on college students’ positive emotions, nature relatedness and environmental preference. This aimed to address the gap in empirical studies regarding the effects of digital environment images on these psychological constructs. Design/methodology/approach This study used a three-group experimental between-subjects design. Participants (48 und…
Industrialisation and internationalisation of education in the context of Economy 4.0
The globalisation of science, industry and commerce has resulted in the internationalisation of education. In this context, ‘ a global citizen’, representing the Humboldtian educational model, has to have universal cognitive skills and cultural competences formed by an international/global education. However, Malaysia’s unique situation, as seen in the case of Penang Island, shows a multicultural education that effectively adapted to the global m…
Virtual reality for developing intercultural communication competence in Mandarin as a Foreign language
Design of a Clinical Practice Guideline in Nurse-Led Ventilator-Weaning for Nursing Training
Cardiothoracic intensive care unit (CICU) nurses have shared the role and responsibility for ventilator-weaning to expedite decision-making in patient care. However, the actions taken are based on individual's unstructured training experience as there is no clinical practice guideline (CPG) for nurses in Malaysia. Hence, this study aims to design a CPG for the process of weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) for a structured nursing training i…
Framework for Developing Intellectual Skills Using Collaborative Learning Tools
Background and Purpose: Students in higher education need intellectual skills for critical thinking, problem-solving and creating new knowledge. Social interactions during collaborative learning (CL) encourage these cognitive processes. However, instructors lack the skill to develop intellectual skills using appropriate pedagogy and CL tools. Hence, this study seeks to develop a framework for developing intellectual skills. Methodology: The Fuzzy…
Technical communication pedagogical model (TCPM) for Malaysian vocational colleges
Poor mastery of technical communication skills has affected the employability of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) graduates. This has arisen from the lack of communication between TVET institutions and the industry when designing a curriculum for technical communication skills development. In Malaysia, little emphasis is given to developing this skill. Therefore, the current study seeks to develop a technical communication p…
Reasons associated with preservice teachers’ intention to use immersive virtual reality in education
The recent interest in the use of Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) in education seems to correspond with the increased affordability, accessibility and functionality of IVR hardware and software. IVR has the potential to enhance immersion, improve spatial capabilities, promote empathy, increase motivation and possibly improve learning outcomes. However, the extent to which teachers capitalise on these potentials in the future depends their percept…
Lost in Machine Translation
The article considers the issues related to the semantic, grammatical, stylistic and technical difficulties currently present in machine translation and compares its four main approaches: Rule-based (RBMT), Corpora-based (CBMT), Neural (NMT), and Hybrid (HMT). It also examines some "open systems", which allow the correction or augmentation of content by the users themselves ("crowdsourced translation"). The authors of the article, native speakers…
