“…On the other hand, our study also found that motivation has a significant correlation with the enhanced readiness of VR practitioners. The study results also agreed with many recent articles that illustrated a direct correlation between motivation and learner readiness in participating in e‐learning (Yılmaz, 2017), m‐learning (Mizad, Yusoff, Sayadi, Latif, & Sukiman, 2018), as well as other training and development approaches (Kim, Park, & Kang, 2019). Nevertheless, not much study has been conducted to determine the relationship between motivation and enhanced readiness for VR training.…”

Nowadays, patients' safety is the top priority for medical services around the world. However, it is believed that many of the adverse events in hospitals are preventable. Type and screen (T&S) procedures require intense practical training by each medical practitioner in each hospital. This study applied an interactive Virtual Reality (VR) technology to supplement the traditional approach to facilitate procedural training. The VR system made use of the Unity3D for application development. To investigate the reliability and validity of the conceptual medical training model, a survey was conducted to measure the content, motivation and enhanced readiness of practitioners. The partial least squares (PLS) modelling was carried out to investigate the correlation between each pair of measured variables. The study results indicated that the learning model has good reliability for each measurement factor and validates the survey study. The PLS modelling also indicated a significant correlation between each pair of measured variables. The project developed a VR training program for training in T&S procedures. The study provides important implications on the development of a practical VR training program for medical practitioners, as well as valuable insights for the development of similar VR training programs in the future.

<p class="0abstract">Although extensive research has been carried out to investigate EFL learners’ readiness of using smartphone and problems in EFL contexts, there remains a scarcity of evidence on EFL learners’ readiness of using smartphone and problems for learning oral English communication skills at tertiary level in EFL context, especially in Bangladesh. The present study was conducted to explore Bangladeshi tertiary level learners’ readiness of using smartphone and problems for learning oral English communication skills. This study employed a mixed-method design, using a survey questionnaire and semi-structured interview as data collection instruments. The participants of this study were sixty-one learners (35 females and 26 males) who were studying at the department of English of a university. The findings from the questionnaire illustrated that EFL learners’ level of readiness of using a smartphone was high and the frequent problems they faced were authentic materials, audio-video aids, oral practice environment, large size class and existing teaching method. Similarly, the findings of semi-structured interview emerged three themes regarding EFL learners’ readiness were availability, usability and positivity for the use of smartphone and four themes regarding EFL learners’ problems, such as psychological, linguistic, teachers’ efficacy and use of mother tongue and for learning oral English communication skills.</p>

“…Previously, research on parenting practices and styles revealed that male and female parents showed a significant different in raising their children; however, this study believed that due to the negative implications of rapid development, globalisation, modernisation and other constraints faced by today's parents, both need to undertake almost similar responsibility towards their children, especially in terms of the child protection and privacy. Although the role theory can explain the differences between fathers and mothers; however, through gender socialisation, male and female parents are continuously learning the social expectations associated with one's sex (Garcia & T. de Guzman, 2017;Mizad, et al 2018).…”

Paedophilia issue has become a global issue around the world, including Malaysia. In today's era of globalisation and modernisation, the seriousness of paedophilia issue is undeniable. As the closest persons to children, parents have been recognised as the critical actor that contributes to children's protection and security. However, research related to "parenting practices" and "parenting styles" specifically to address the paedophilia issue remains limited in Malaysian context. Thus, a doctoral research, conducted by one of the authors, aimed to fill the gap. Based on the findings, this paper presents the socio-demographic and sociocultural pattern of Malaysian parents in upholding child protection and privacy to prevent paedophilia issue. A survey involving 900 parents representing the equal number of genders (male and female) and ethnicities (Malays, Chinese and Indian) was undertaken. Based on the statistical analysis, there were two key findings highlighted in this paper, which were: (1) the socio-demographic pattern revealed that female parents have higher interest in upholding the child protection and privacy, as compared to male parents; and (2) the socio-cultural pattern showed that Indian parents have high commitment in upholding the child protection and privacy, followed by Malay and Chinese parents. Although every parent has different approaches in upholding their children's protection and privacy; however, this paper argued that the socio-demographic and socio-cultural aspects are among the main indicators influencing parenting practices and parenting styles in Malaysia.Based on this main gap, one doctoral research is being undertaken entitled: "Do not publicise me; I may be the victim of paedophiles": The parenting practices and parenting styles in upholding the child protection and privacy in Malaysia. Based on the result gathered during the survey of this study, this paper aimed to present a part of the findings which can be divided into three main objectives of: 1) to identify the parents' behaviour in upholding child protection and privacy to prevent paedophilia issue; (2) To examine the socio-demographic patterns (gender and age groups) of parents in upholding child protection and privacy to prevent paedophilia issue; and (3) to examine the socio-cultural pattern (ethnics) of parents in upholding child protection and privacy to prevent paedophilia issue. The detail analysis and discussion is presented in the following sections and sub-sections.
