The Effect Of Stem Project Based Learning On Self-Efficacy Among High-School Physics Students, Mohd Ali Samsudin, Seyedh Mahboobeh Jamali, Ahmad Nurulazam Md Zain, Nader Ale Ebrahim Mar 2020

The Effect Of Stem Project Based Learning On Self-Efficacy Among High-School Physics Students, Mohd Ali Samsudin, Seyedh Mahboobeh Jamali, Ahmad Nurulazam Md Zain, Nader Ale Ebrahim

Research Publications (2016 to 2020)

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is increase effectiveness, create meaningful learning and influence student attitudes in future career pursuit. There are several studies in the literature reporting different aspects of STEM into a PjBL pedagogy. However, the effect of implementing STEM PjBL in terms of improving students’ skills in self-efficacy levels in physics mechanics at high school level has not been demonstrated as expected in the previous literature. This study followed a quasi-experimental research method. Bandura’s social cognitive theory is used to assess and compare the effect of STEM PjBL with conventional teaching method on students’ …


Does A Long Reference List Guarantee More Citations? Analysis Of Malaysian Highly Cited And Review Papers, Nader Ale Ebrahim, H. Ebrahimian, Maryam Mousavi, Farzad Tahriri Feb 2015

Does A Long Reference List Guarantee More Citations? Analysis Of Malaysian Highly Cited And Review Papers, Nader Ale Ebrahim, H. Ebrahimian, Maryam Mousavi, Farzad Tahriri

Research Publications (2011 to 2015)

Earlier publications have shown that the number of references as well as the number of received citations are field-dependent. Consequently, a long reference list may lead to more citations. The purpose of this article is to study the concrete relationship between number of references and citation counts. This article tries to find an answer for the concrete case of Malaysian highly cited papers and Malaysian review papers. Malaysian paper is a paper with at least one Malaysian affiliation. A total of 2466 papers consisting of two sets, namely 1966 review papers and 500 highly-cited articles, are studied. The statistical analysis …


Publication Trends In Physics Education: A Bibliometric Study, S. M. Jamali, A. N. Md Zain, M. A. Samsudin, N. Ale Ebrahim Jan 2015

Publication Trends In Physics Education: A Bibliometric Study, S. M. Jamali, A. N. Md Zain, M. A. Samsudin, N. Ale Ebrahim

Research Publications (2011 to 2015)

A publication trend in Physics Education by employing bibliometric analysis leads the researchers to describe current scientific movement. This paper tries to answer “What do Physics education scientists concentrate in their publications?” by analyzing the productivity and development of publications on the subject category of Physics Education in the period 1980–2013. The Web of Science databases in the research areas of “EDUCATION - EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH” was used to extract the publication trends. The study involves 1360 publications, including 840 articles, 503 proceedings paper, 22 reviews, 7 editorial material, 6 Book review, and one Biographical item. Number of publications with “Physical …
