“…Therefore, to obtain a good data analysis of survey questionnaire, a statistical software for Rasch model analysis named Winstep software V3.72.3 was used. Literature studies showed that the Rasch model has been used in other research fields such as education [32]- [36], food and beverages [23], [37], medical [24], and sport [38] and it was proven capable to measure any subjective assessment. At the same time, Rasch is also capable to convert all ordinal data into ratio data.…”

This paper presents a case study to analyse the workers’ satisfaction level on the implementation of an integrated quality system between the IATF 16949 and Toyota Production System focusing on internal audit activity in one automotive company in Malaysia. The main goal was to validate and investigate the issues and challenges those employees in the organisation faced before and after the systems were integrated. Rasch Measurement Model was used to analyse the data collected. Initially, pilot data were conducted, and the data were used to construct the survey questionnaire with 3 constructs and 47 items. A total of 30 respondents from various departments were assessed with the demographic traits of position in the organization and years of service. From the pre-implementation survey, most of the respondents agreed that too many documents were involved throughout both audits and lack of training for auditee on both systems was the main cause to the ineffective implementation of both systems, particularly at mass production process. Both items were measured below the person mean value in variable map (pre-implementation). After the integrated system, the post-survey analysis proved that too many documents and lack of training were above person mean value in variable map (post-implementation). The results revealed that most of the respondents agreed the integration of both systems has given an effective result and good impact to the organization’s performance.

“…Dalam konteks pengujian dan pengukuran bahasa Arab di Malaysia, terdapat kajian-kajian mengenainya tertumpu kepada penyelidikan morfologi Arab oleh sarjana lepas seperti Abu Bakar (2008), Jalil (2012), Rasad dan Mahamod (2013), Norazwa (2014), Baharudin et al (2017), Asbulah et al (2018), Maskor et al (2018) dan Tuan Omar et al (2018). Kebanyakan dapatan kajian melaporkan kerumitan pelajar terhadap penguasaan dan permasalahan morfologi terutamanya aspek kata mahupun kosa kata Arab.…”

“…Metodologi pengukuran dan pengujian menggunakan aplikasi Model Pengukuran Rasch ini turut dilakukan oleh Maskor et al (2018). Hasil penganalisisan menggunakan Model Pengukuran Rasch dapat mengukur nilai rata-rata infiniti dan pakaian persegi (MNSQ) serta memberi impak kebolehpercayaan pengujian yang memuaskan.…”

“…Perkara tersebut ditegaskan kerana kajian-kajian lepas yang dilakukan khususnya di Malaysia seperti kajian Abu Bakar (2008), Jalil (2012), Rasad dan Mahamod (2013), Norazwa (2014), Baharudin et al (2017), Asbulllah et al (2018, Maskor et al (2018) dan Tuan Omar et al (2018), kebanyakannya tertumpu kepada penguasaan dan permasalahan morfologi terutamanya aspek kata mahupun kosa kata Arab. Manakala pengesanan permasalahan yang ditemui, menggunakan instrumen yang tidak bersandarkan teori yang kukuh dalam pembinaan sesuatu instrumen bagi mengukur dan menguji permasalahan aspek kata dalam bidang morfologi Arab.…”

Morfologi bahasa Arab bersifat kompleks berbanding morfologi bahasa lain. Hal ini kerana sistem morfologinya berasaskan kepada kata akar dan pelbagai lapisan proses derivasi (perubahan bentuk kata). Penentuan kata akar daripada perkataan berimbuhan Arab antara kesukaran pelajar bahasa Arab lebih-lebih lagi jika struktur dalaman sesuatu perkataan mengalami banyak derivasi. Justeru, kajian ini melaporkan kesahihan konstruksi dan kebolehpercayaan instrumen rintis bagi mengukur kesukaran struktur dalaman kata (SDK) imbuhan bahasa Arab. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif. Ujian Struktur Dalaman Kata Imbuhan (USDAi) mengandungi 130 item aneka pilihan yang dibentuk berdasarkan teori SDK dan teori paradigmatis serta konsep derivasi bahasa Arab. Pemilihan sampel kajian menggunakan pensampelan bertujuan bersasar. Seramai 45 orang pelajar dari Kolej Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Selangor (KUIS) dipilih sebagai responden. Data dianalisis menggunakan Model Pengukuran Rasch. Nilai indeks kebolehpercayaan person ialah 0.95 (α = 0.97) dan indeks pengasingan pula ialah 4.33. Item pula menunjukkan nilai kebolehpercayaan 0.87, indeks pengasingan 2.65 dan mean infit 0.97. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan 130 item USDAi produktif bagi mengukur struktur dalaman kata (SDK) imbuhan bahasa Arab. Kajian ini turut memberi implikasi terhadap pembelajaran morfologi Arab agar penguasaan struktur dalaman kata perlu dikuasai oleh para pelajar.

“…The Cronbach's alpha value for the instruments is 0.828. Fraenkel and Wallen, as cited in Maskor, Baharudin, and Lubis (2018) emphasized that the reliability of an appropriate item has an alpha value of between 0.70 and 0.99. The post-test used the same set of questions administered in the pretest.…”

ESL instructors across the world acknowledge the importance of vocabulary among their students which led them to experiment with many teaching approaches and language stimuli to find ones that are effective. In line with global technological advancement, the captioned video has become a key stimulus in facilitating vocabulary acquisition among second language learners. The use of technology is highly encouraged in the Malaysian education system to promote meaningful and active learning to accommodate, particularly, the young learners’ needs. By using highly interactive and visually stimulating materials, Malaysian teachers are expected to improve the alarmingly low proficiency in English among primary school learners. This study aims to investigate the effects of captioned videos on English vocabulary involving 44 participants of Year Four (age 10) and Year Five (age 11) at a rural school in Kapit, Sarawak. Using a pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental research design, the participants were divided into a treatment group and a control group. The data were analyzed using SPSS and it was demonstrated that participants from the treatment group outperformed the control group which suggests the effectiveness of captioned videos on vocabulary acquisition in an ESL setting. The results of the study serve as empirical evidence to guide policymakers in their professional decisions and as insights to other ESL practitioners in expanding their teaching repertoire.
