Mariam Nainan — 2021-01-03

Learning from worked examples, or example-based learning, has been found to be effective for learning problem solving. Several instructional principles for worked example design have been proposed based on research studies conducted in several domains. However, research on the design of worked examples for programming education is limited. This study reviews research studies on worked examples proposed for teaching and learning how to solve programming problems and analyses the proposed designs with respect to the instructional principles for example-based learning. This paper presents the results of the analysis and the characteristics of the proposed designs. This paper also discusses the findings and suggests areas for further research.

The paper aims to identify the applicability of RFID in higher education. Being one of the most robust wireless communication technologies, RFID can be applied to wireless applications in different fields. In order for the higher education sector in Malaysia to improve the teaching system and administration of institutions, it should take advantage of the adoption of RFID to improve the quality of education in higher education. In order to ensure that students are best provided, educational sectors should be encouraged to invest more in the growth and advancement of RFID technology. Given the difficulties and obstacles of integrating RFID technology, refinements and enhancements to RFID technology should be the highlight of academic discussions among decision makers and stake holders in the higher education ministry. RFID is also viewed as an IOT precondition. If all everyday objects were fitted with radio tags, computers could recognise and inventory them. When the RFID readers are linked to the Internet terminal, they can identify, track and control objects attached to tags globally, automatically and in real time as necessary after they have been distributed around the globe. This is one of the many advantages of the Internet of Things in the future especially in the Industrial Revolution 4.0

This study aimed to help Unitrade West (UW) company to understand the acceptance of online shopping technology, which AbanteCart. The researchers were able to identify 1125 customers of the UW company to measure the acceptance level of the web-based shopping cart. Modified TAM model was used to measure the acceptance level of current customers. The questionnaire was sent via Google form to each customer and analysed using SmartPLS 3.1. The result PEU >PU= (β=0.4210, p<0.05); PEU>AU= (β= 0.3470, p<0.05), PU>AU=( β=0.2450, p<0.05); AU > IU= (β=0.1350, p<0.05); and PU>IU=(β=0.1526, p<0.05), have significant relationship. All five hypotheses are accepted. The R² value is 0.471 tells that 47.1% variance explained by predictor variables. The finding shows that the AbanteCart software is still relevant in online trading purposes. The company was advised to update the current version and continue to use it as the present customers accept it.
