The purpose of this study is to explore the level of patience and confidence towards problem solving and mathematics achievement among students from Malaysian Institute of Information Technology, Universiti Kuala Lumpur. This study also observes the relationship between the level of patience and confidence towards problem solving and mathematics achievement. This research is a survey study that is conducted on 121 semester one students at diploma and bachelor program. This research uses one set of questionnaire to gather data. The data is then analyzed using The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The descriptive and inferential statistics analyses are used to analyze all the research questions.The research findings reveal that the level of patience and confidence towards problem solving are medium. The findings also show that there is significant relationship between the level of patience towards problem solving and mathematics achievement. On the other hand, the finding shows that there is no significant relationship between the level of confidence towards problem solving and mathematics achievement. This research also reflects that there is no significant relationship between overall level (patience and confidence) towards problem solving and mathematics achievement. Finally the research draws conclusion and recommendation based on students' attitude towards problem solving and the ways to improve students' achievement in mathematics.
This research is proposed to produce prototype of a system called Intelligent Flood Information System via SMS (IFIS). The purpose of this system is to provide an earlier warning to the residents or user who always face flood problem at the particular areas. This system is developed using water level sensor that gives information to a particular user via SMS and also the information can be viewed by the client. It can be used by anyone who has a mobile phone and has a Local Area Netwok (LAN) connection. The user will receive the SMS alert if flood occurs and the client can view the information at the front end application interface provided to check the current situation. The alert will be sent to them according to their area. This project is developed using specific hardware and software such as; built-in water level sensor, Siemens MC35i GSM Modem, Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Visual Basic, VMWare and Eagle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
