“…According to Zulkifli, Mohammad Hussain, Abd Wahid, and Che Rus (2019), teaching and learning in vocational courses were expected to be conducted using the 21 st century teaching and learning activities which focused on student-based learning supported by sufficient technologies. The 21st-century teaching and learning also requires teachers to be competent in computer usage because 21stcentury learning involves the use of the internet in the teaching and learning.…”

The Electronic Hardware Repair and Maintenance Course (EHRM) is one of vocational courses at Malaysian Vocational Colleges which have theoretical concepts that students find difficult to understand. Thus, implementation of technological teaching aids (TA) has been expected to help teachers better explain the theoretical concept in this course. The purpose of this study was to identify the various teaching aids applied in EHRM learning sessions as well as to study the usage level of technological teaching aids. This quantitative study was conducted using the questionnaire as the research instrument, the data were analysed descriptively then were reported in percentage and mean. The samples of the study involved 360 students and 106 teachers in the field of Electronic Technology at Malaysian vocational colleges. The findings show that the most widely technological teaching aids used by the Malaysian Vocational college teachers in EHRM classes are radios, televisions, computers and LCD projectors. However, this study found that the use of online material, such as websites, in the EHRM Course is still at low level. This study also indicates that the overall usage of teaching aids in EHRM classes is still at moderate level. Based on the outcome of the study, teaching and learning of EHRM course in Malaysian vocational colleges have been suggested to increase the level of technological teaching aids usage, especially by utilising online-based learning resources to make class sessions more interesting as well as enhancing the student learning outcomes.

“…Educators have made extensive use of digital technology to make the teaching and learning process easier. TVET programmes are also intended to use 21st-century teaching and learning activities that are supported by adequate digital technologies [17]. The use of technology in the teaching and learning process was found to improve students' self-directed learning skills, allow for self-paced learning, provide interactive learning materials, and promote active learning [18].…”

The problem and the aim of the study. Safety of university laboratories is of paramount importance. Performing hands on in a university laboratory can be considered as work with lower risks if compared with other processes in the industries. Yet, it is revealed that there are still many accidents that results in injuries or even fatalities to the staffs and students. More effort particularly in laboratory management is required to minimize the occurrence of laboratory accidents. Research methods. This study evaluated perception of laboratory technicians working in several university electrical and electronic laboratories located in the four states of Northern Region of Malaysia regarding the implementation, effectiveness and challenges on the implementation of 5S practice using cross-sectional survey. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire that has been developed and validated by four experts with background of occupational safety. Population of this study was 111 electrical and electronic laboratory technicians from universities in Northern Region of Malaysia. Questionnaire was distributed to all the laboratory technicians and the response rate was 76.6%, where 85 laboratory technicians returned the questionnaire. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the perception of laboratory technicians among the four states. The level of significance is 0.05. Results. Around 54% of the respondents have more than 3 years working experience 59% of the electrical and electronic laboratories in the Northern Region of Malaysia have an average usage of 10 to 20 hours per week, with 81% have an average of 2 to 4 courses per semester. Approximately 49% of the electrical and electronic laboratories occupied 21 to 30 students per session. Kruskal-Wallis H test for the implementation of 5S practice showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the four states but the test reported statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of at least one pair of groups for effectiveness and challenges of 5S practice. Dunn-Bonferroni post hoc test was employed to further identify the states that were different significantly in the mean rank of scores. Conclusion. Findings from this study give information about the level of implementation, effectiveness and challenges faced by the laboratory technicians working in several university electrical and electronic laboratories located in Northern Region of Malaysia. It can be seen that the knowledge delivered to the students might be similar in the implementation of 5S practice, resulting in a similar level of implementation. Intriguingly, effectiveness of 5S practice resulting from similar implementation of 5S practice in the electrical and electronic laboratories was not the same as it might be affected by other factors. Future study will be focusing on understanding the challenges faced by the laboratory technicians so that the authorities such as the university management could identify the challenges faced by the laboratory technicians in their own university while taking appropriate actions to support the implementation of 5S practice in the laboratory.
