This study investigated the students’ perceptions of Classroom Assessment Practices (CAPs) in Malaysian Higher Education Institutions (MHEIs). The objective of this study was to explore students’ perceptions towards CAPs and investigate if there is any relationship among the students’ perceptions towards the six scales of CAPs. There were 109 participants participating in this study and they were randomly chosen from first semester of diploma students in Malaysian Higher Education Institutions (MHEIs). This study employed quantitative research method utilising questionnaire survey, adopted and adapted from Fisher, Waldrip, & Dorman (2005). The data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The findings of the study suggested that the students in MHEIs agreed the CAPs implemented were congruent with planned learning, authentic and transparent,a mean to consult the lecturers and classmates, appropriately matched with their level and capability and have helped them to develop and improve their soft skillsand there was a significant positive correlation among the six scales of CAPs. The recommendations and limitations of this study were also discussed.

The University

This chapter emanates from a study which sought to investigate challenges of teaching and learning computer programming in higher education. The study was conducted at Sokoine University of Agriculture. The study had three specific objectives: first, to identify learners' prior knowledge on computer programming at the time of joining the university; second, to investigate learners' self-efficacy in computer programming course; the third objective was to evaluate the learning styles used by learners in the computer programming course. The study adopted a quantitative research method, grounded in experiential learning theory. The data was collected from respondents using questionnaires and the analysis of the data was done using statistical software. The findings indicate that inadequate computer laboratories, lack of competent staff in ICT-based instructional design, inadequate teaching and learning materials, and students' lack of prior knowledge on computer programming at the time of joining the university are the main challenges.

In this paper, the authors reviewed the empirical mobile technology (MT) studies, and those focused on adopting and designing MT for students’ learning, published in SSCI journals from 2003 to 2012. It is found that the number of articles has significantly increased, particularly after 2008. Among the 74 published papers, most of them were conducted in higher education, as well as on computing domain. Furthermore, the quantitative research method was used more in MT and e-learning research. The findings in this study may provide potential direction and help policymakers in governments and researchers in professional organizations to allocate the necessary resources and prepare for supporting future research and applications of MT.

Students Success

Completion of a first-semester chemistry (Chem I) course lays the foundation for understanding second-semester chemistry (Chem II) topics. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of basic arithmetic skills on students’ Chem II success in understanding mathematics-grounded concepts (e.g., solutions and aqueous reactions, kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, solubility and equilibria, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and nuclear chemistry). Previous studies suggest a strong correlation between arithmetic preparation and performance in general chemistry courses, though few have focused on the second-semester course. In this investigation, researchers from six higher-education institutions in Texas, USA of different sizes and with student bodies of different diversities have collaborated to determine whether the Math-Up Skills Test (MUST) is able to reliably identify at-risk students from a population of n = 1599 at the beginning of a Chem II course.
