Fabian Society is a type of political think tank which was founded by a group of students and
intellectuals at London School of Economics (LSE), United Kingdom in the late of 19 centuries. The
Fabian political thought is a new manifestation of socialist ideology in United Kingdom emerged through the role of Labour Party Partiat that time. After the World War II, the influence of this political
thought began to widespread throughout Malaya via British-educated Malayan students. This
development brought about a new form of political idealism based on social-democrat orientation
which emphasized on class struggles and civil issues in Malaya. Thus, the aim of this article is to
scrutinize objectively and descriptively the influence of the Fabian political thought in the Malaysian
political development from 1952 to 1970. Using the approach of history reconstructionist, the analysis
discussion was developed based on the use of primary sources as the argument base. The research
findings indicate that the influence of the Fabian political thought developed in Malaya by the role of
the socialist intellectual-progressive group throughout the research. The development did not only
involve labour movements and left-wing political parties such as Malayan Democratic Union (MDU)
and the Malayan Labour Party, but it also influenced students movements at universities through
University of Malaya Socialist Club in Singapore around 1950s and students societies in Universiti
Malaya, Kuala Lumpur around 1960s. In fact, at the same time the progressive Fabian group slipped in
right-conservative group through their direct involvement in UMNO and the Perikatan regime at the
time. This indirectly proves that there is a different side of the socialist role through the role of the
Fabian group in the development of democracy and politics in Malaysia.
On May 2018, Malaysia witnessed a full-scale wave of change when the dominant authoritarian party
Barisan Nasional was defeated under the pretext of democratic process known as the “mother of all
elections”. The electoral victory was finally secured by the opposition party Pakatan Harapan. The
outcomes suggested that the wave of political change and the democratization process were not
impossible and yet inevitable and inclusive by taking into account the notion of multi-racial society.
This study presents a theoretical debates by inserting an empirical comprehension so that the embedded
phenomenon can be explored profoundly in regards to the ideas of regime change and democratization
through election.
This concept paper aims to discuss the relationship between co-curricular management with student involvement in secondary school.

This survey study aims to identify whether there is a correlation between intrinsic motivation and history subject achievement, as well as to determine whether the predictor variables of interest, competence, effort, pressure, choice, usefulness and relevance contribute significantly to the history subject’s achievement. A total of 521 Form Four students were involved in this study through simple random sampling techniques. This research instrument is the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory questionnaire and the history subject achievement test which has been verified by the expert and has good reliability value, difficulty and good discrimination index. Quantitative data in this study was analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression tests through IBM SPSS software. The findings showed that there is a significant negative linear correlation between intrinsic motivation and the history subject achievement. In addition, the interests, preferences and usefulness constructs have reported a high moderate negative linear relationship with the history subject achievement, while competency, effort, pressure and relevance have a low negative linear relationship with the history subject achievement. Furthermore, interest, choice, effort and usefulness are the predictor variables that contribute significantly, while competence, pressure, and relevance are the predictor variables that contribute non-significantly to the history subject’s achievement in this study. The implications of this study are suggested to all departments to develop intrinsic motivation among students as it is strongly related to increase and decrease the history subject’s achievement
Darwinisme sosial merupakan sebuah teori yang diagungkan oleh kuasa Barat bagi mewujudkan jurang perbezaan manusia dalam pelbagai aspek dengan mengangkat status mereka sebagai bangsa ‘superior’, manakala bangsa kulit hitam dan berwarna pula dikategorikan sebagai ‘inferior’ atau “lesser breed’’ pada abad ke-19. Justeru kajian ini akan memberi tumpuan kepada analisis bagaimana kuasa barat cuba untuk mengimplementasikan teori ini kepada penduduk di Borneo Utara dengan menggunakan dan menerapkan sistem sosial serta budaya mereka sebagai acuan bagi membentuk masyarakat yang mempunyai ketamadunan moden seperti yang mereka percayai bahawa itu merupakan tanggungjawab mereka menerusi slogan “white man burden”. Bagi mencapai objektif ini, kaedah kajian secara kualitatif telah digunakan dengan merujuk kepada sumber primer dan sekunder sebagai sumber utama. Sumber-sumber tersebut merupakan bahan yang dapat diakses di Arkib Negeri dan perpustakaan, serta terdiri daripada buku dan artikel yang terdapat dalam jurnal. Selain itu, sumber daripada laman sesawang yang releven juga digunakan bagi mengukuhkan hujah dan perbincangannya. Dapatan utama kajian ini mendapati bahawa penjajahan kuasa barat khususnya British dalam menguasai Borneo Utara bukan hanya bermatlamatkan pengeksploitasian ekonomi sahaja, namun mereka juga bertujuan untuk mengubah kehidupan tradisional penduduk tempatan memandangkan mereka beranggapan bahawa itu adalah suatu tanggungjawab yang mereka pikul dalam mendidik bangsa yang lebih rendah dari mereka, banyak berkait rapat dengan status dan maruah mereka sebagai kuasa imperialis yang mempromosikan ketamadunan. Maka, demi mencapai matlamat tersebut, pelbagai transformasi dan perubahan yang telah dilakukan oleh British dalam pelbagai aspek bagi mengubah taraf hidup penduduk tempatan khususnya dalam aspek ekonomi, politik dan sosial. Oleh itu, penulis akan membincangkan secara lebih mendalam mengenai justifikasi teori tersebut, serta dengan lebih lanjut bagi membincangkan apakah aspek dan pendekatan yang digunakan oleh Barat dalam mentamadunkan penduduk di Borneo Utara seperti apa yang mereka percayai menurut Darwinisme Sosial.

Teaching method is an essential element in stimulating the interest in students subsequently their
achievement in a subject, especially for the subject of History that is, for a long time, considered as a
boring subject. The objective of this study is to identify the method of preference for pre-university
students, particularly those who take the History subject and the reasons that motivate the students to
be interested in the method. This study uses a qualitative design that combines the two main methods
of interviewing and observation. The sampling was intended to be used in this study. The sample of the
study consisted of four students who took the History subject at the Malaysian High School Certificate
(STPM) level in the district of Kota Kinabalu. The findings of this study can be seen from the main
theme of the study which is the method that interest the students and the justification of selection of the
method among them. Overall, the findings show that there exist diversity of methods that students are
interested in, namely the presentation method, questionnaire session, Gallery Walk and debate. Furthermore, being able to inculcate new skills, increasing motivation, interest and improving students’
achievement are the justifications given by students to the selection of methods among students. As
such, teachers play an important role in selecting the teaching methods that are appropriate to the needs
of students throughout the teaching and learning process to ensure the objective of teaching and
learning can be achieved.
Arabic learning among religious-oriented students is a must and should be studied as it is included in
public examination such as PT3, SPM and STPM. To learn it effectively, students need to have high
level of motivational beliefs because Arabic language is a rather difficult and challenging subject for
students who are non-speakers. Previous studies recorded a low level of motivation for Arabic
language because it was difficult to master it. Hence, this study will explain the possibility of teachers'
teaching influence students’ motivational beliefs in Arabic language. A quantitative approach used in
this research and conducted using the Student's Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness Rating Scale
(SETERS) and Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) questionnaire as an
instrument that was responded to by 542 form 4 religious-oriented students. The data was processed through Pearson correlation analysis. The findings show that the moderate, but significant and positive
relationship between teacher’s teaching and motivational beliefs of religious-oriented students in
learning Arabic language. In this regard, teachers need to diversify their teaching strategies in terms of
delivery learning materials, interaction and the provision of conducive learning environment. This
effort will increase the student's motivational beliefs to Arabic language while developing more
effective and comprehensive Arabic language mastery potential.

Healthy competition in the field of education makes every individual strive to improve their abilities and competencies in terms of knowledge, skills and values related to mathematics. Mathematics as an important communication tool in the pursuit of the progress of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era requires a community that is fluent and literate in mathematics. The main focus is to produce a generation of leaders who are analytical, critical and logical thinking urging the education sector to identify issues and shortcomings of self-efficacy related to mathematics from the grassroots level. The purpose of this study is to make a systematic literature review on the components of self-efficacy and its inclusion in mathematics education research. Two research questions that are emphasised are the components of self-efficacy and how self-efficacy is studied in empirical research in mathematics education. This study uses the PRISMA Model. Two search engines are used, namely the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) and Google Scholar. Out of the 152 articles identified, a total of 20 articles were accepted that met the purpose of the study. Based on the analysis conducted, there are 4 components of self-efficacy that have been identified, namely mathematical self-efficacy, technological self-efficacy, academic self-efficacy and teaching self-efficacy. The findings also show that the majority of self-efficacy studies are conducted quantitatively compared to qualitatively. The main research lines observed were the level of self-efficacy, the relationship between self-efficacy and other relevant variables, and the development of self-efficacy. Although many previous studies have been conducted in the Asian continent, the number of studies that emphasise self-efficacy in the Malaysian environment is still considered small. Therefore, the results of this study are expected to provide a deep understanding so that such studies can be implemented in the context of education in Malaysia.
The purpose of this survey study is to identify the type of student learning style preferences in history
subjects, as well to identify whether there are significantly mean differences of learning style on
student demographic aspects such as gender, achievement level, subject stream and school location.
This study involved a total 521 form four students from a state of north peninsular of Malaysia through
simple random sampling technique. This adapted Perceptual Learning Style Preferences Questionnaires
which are validated by the content expert matters and have a good reliability values are the research
instrument in this study. The data of this study were analyzed descriptively and inferred such as
independent sample-t test through IBM SPPS software. The findings of this study indicated that the
history student preferences learning style is auditory style for physiological dimension and collaborative style for sociological dimension. Furthermore, the findings also showed that there are
significantly mean differences between learning style and student demographic aspects such as
achievement level, subject stream and school location. Therefore, the findings also reported that there
are no significant mean differences in learning style among male and female history students.
Essentially, the findings can be used by the State of Education Department, the Curriculum
Development Center and the history teachers to redesign the implementation of meaningful history
teaching and learning process by taking account of the student learning styles aspects.
The Malaysian Constitution has set Malay language as the official language of the country and the
medium of teaching and learning (Noraien Mansor & Noor Rohana Mansor, 2013). The usage of the Malay language should not be disturbed as it becomes an important medium in establishing and
strengthening the harmonious and unity of the Malaysian society. However, it is found today that the
solidification of Malay language has continuously been challenged and undermined it as a national and
unity language as a result of the influence and development of the world's new order which shows that
the usage of English language has been prioritised in the field of education, employment and
communication (Nor Hashimah Jalaluddin, 2010). The emphasis on the importance of science and
technology as well as English language has been resulted in losing confidence towards the Malay
language among some individuals including the non-Malay students from the private universities and
those who are using English language as their learning medium. Furthermore, there is a group of
students who are more convenience in using their mother tongues languages than the Malay language.
This study aims to discuss the issue of the usage of Malay language in the private higher education
institutions and to analyse the weaknesses in the usage of Malay language among the private university
students. Hence, a study was conducted on 100 private university students by using random sampling
methods. The findings reveal that the level of strengthening of Malay language among the private
university students is moderate. This is due to the issues of Malay language usage in the private
universities including the students' priorities on the English language, lacking of fluency in Malay
language, lacking of co-operation and efforts among the lecturers and university management, lacking
of emphasis on constitutional meanings and lacking of confidence on the status of Malay language.
Thus, the scenario in strengthening the Malay language among the private university students should
not be undervalued but need to be strengthened prior to the threat of destruction as Malay language has
the greatest potential in various fields and this generation is able to shape the stability of social
relations as well as the continuity of the Malay language in the Malaysian civilization.
This social psychology study sought to understand how the inability of former drug addicts controlling
interpersonal conflict that occurs in the community resulted in relapse or back to their addiction. A
qualitative phenomenological approach was taken to conduct interviews with former drug addicts that
are participating in a rehab program in Cure and Care Service Centre, Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan,
Malaysia. Eight informants were consented and interviewed. Purposive sampling was used and
responses were analyzed thematically. These themes included the issue of labeling drug addicts as
convicts, isolation from the community and restricted from participating in community-based
programs. Researcher suggests related agencies to work with rehabilitation officers in restructuring the
rehabilitation learning module and improve the interpersonal conflict management module. Therefore,
it is hoped that in the future, former drug addicts would be capable to manage interpersonal conflict
and simultaneously avoid from recidivism in addiction.
Behaviour is the way an individual translate input derived from interactions into action and reaction, either through verbal communication or through nonverbal communication. Behaviour is also influenced by an individual's emotions to respond or to react when interacting in the social context of society. However, social symptoms are getting a huge blow from the teens. The negativity in socialization are intensely prominent among teenagers. The behaviour of a school teen who violates the norm is a behaviour of a delinquent. These cases of misconduct have a negative impact on the wellbeing and peace of life in the community. In addition, there have been cases of social collapse of morals now widely circulating in the media regarding sexually explicit acts such as rape and premarital pregnancy. Several social factors can be identified to influence teens, of which most of them are still schooling. Therefore, this research aims to study the factors, relevance and differences of socialization in influencing individual behaviour. Total of 120 students, including 70 boys from Sekolah Tunas Bakti Sg. Besi and 50 girls from Asrama Bahagia Kg. Pandan. Both schools are those who are involved in juvenile cases and under control of the Department of Social Welfare (JKM). The design of the study is descriptive. Data was collected through a three-part questionnaire, which comprises of A Background Information of Students, B Five Socialization Factors, and C Aggressive Behaviour. The data collected was then analysed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) to evaluate percentages, frequency, correlation, T-test and Anova. Results found that male students were more likely to be influenced by mass media factors while female students were more likely to be influenced by peers. Ultimately, the research results reveal that the behaviour of individuals is influenced by three main factors, namely the media, peers and individual self. There were no significant differences between male and female gender for socialization factors influencing aggressive behavior. Therefore, some proposals have been formulated such as form new acts, emphasizing the importance of family as well as educational institutions such as schools.
The community has active roles to play to mitigate child maltreatment. In reviewing the Child Abuse
and Neglect prevention measurement in Malaysia, the readiness score is relatively at the moderate level
based on World Health Organization assessment tools. The primary objective was to assess a
relationship between collective efficacy and child maltreatment in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. The crosssectional
and correlational study has been adopted. A sum of 390 questionnaires were disseminated to
Petaling Jaya community, particularly those who were married with at minimum one child. The
findings have revealed that the social cohesion and child maltreatment possesses a significant
relationship (r= 0.111, p0.05) with child maltreatment. The findings of this study contribute to several significant
contribution. Several suggestions were provided for the Malaysian government to initiate some
community approaches in effort to mitigate child maltreatment. It is practically to recommend the
government to invigorate the comprehensive policies in fostering the community awareness to exercise
their social responsibility in community in addressing the child maltreatment issues. The community
awareness enables to enhance proactive involvement in which it could prompt the active action and
establish a set of partnership among community group members. Hence, it is able to strengthen the
solid protection to increase the resilience of children due to the proactive society to protect the
vulnerable children and have zero tolerance on violence against children.
