The study was conducted to obtain the validity and reliability of the HM Learning Skill Module. The HM Study Skills inventory was used to measure validity while the percentage method was used to measure the reliability of the module. The HM Learning Skills Inventory is used to measure the validity and reliability with the aims to measure the habits and learning methods of students. The value of validity is measured using Russel's Validity which consists of modules related to the content of this module to meet its Population target, 85.7%; The contents of this module can be implemented; perfectly; 80.0%, The content of this module is in line with the time allocated; 78.6%, The contents of this module can improve student performance; 81.4%, and the content of this model can transform students towards greater excellence; 80% and all these items are accepted by experts as a good legality. While for the reliability based on the pilot study of the HM-Learning Skills Module conducted by the application of the Small Group Learning Skills (n = 10) application in 3 small groups and the Study Group on the Learning Skills (n = 30) found that the reliability of the HM learning group module overall is .948. Hence, high alpha values prove that the HM-Learning Skills Module is acceptable and reliable to be used in the Intervention of Learning Skills Lesson Group and the Master's Guide to Learning Skills.
Gerontological counselling is becoming the wave in the counselling profession in Malaysia. A growing population of elderly people in Malaysia will require not only counsellors but also volunteers who are well equipped with the counselling skills to work effectively with the elderly. A team of researchers have developed a training research module that based on gerontological counselling to prepare volunteers (who are not having counselling background) in providing more effective volunteering services toward elderly living in residential care. This study aims to develop a training module to enhance volunteers' competence in working with elderly. This study adapted Myers's work and ADDIE Model as a design for the study. It involves five phases of developing module namely analyse, design, develop, implement, and evaluate. The study proposed a training module that contains eight units including introduction to volunteer module based on gerontology counselling approach; introduction to volunteer services; understanding the clients; developing rapport and the therapeutic relationship; helping process; termination; helping skills for the special population; and keep up the good work! The training module on gerontological counselling for volunteers is expected to enhance the skills and competency of volunteers to work with elderly. In addition, the implications of the module for clinical practice are discussed.
