Embracing Diversity in Psychological Assessment and Research

By: Melissa Ng Lee Yen Abdullah,Lim Hooi Lian,Yeo Kee Jiar

Diverse learners bring a broad range of experiences and perspectives into the classroom and offer a powerful resource for learning. However, they also pose major challenge to practitioners and researchers working in the field of education. Biases and inequitable social consequences may occur when assessing young children, students with disabilities, high-ability students, and culturally and linguistically diverse learners. Through a compilation of empirical studies, this book aims to present both theory and applications of assessment in educational research. Each chapter focuses on different groups of learners, which include Malaysian students, Japanese pre-schoolers, gifted Saudi students, Nigerian adolescents, and foreign language learners in Gaza. Based on the assessment procedures and outcomes obtained in each study, good practices of assessment are provided at the end of the book.

Self-Regulated Learning: Theory and Application (Penerbit USM)

By: Melissa Ng. Lee Yen Abdullah

Self-regulated learning is recognized as one of the most essential skills that students should possess in this information age. Nevertheless, most students are accustomed to the conventional teacher-centered way of learning, thus, they are not competent at self-regulated learning. A Self-Management Tool was developed to guide and enhance students' usage of self-regulated learning strategies. The tool comprises three components; Information-Management Tool, Personal-Management Tool and a Teacher's Manual. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to test its effectiveness and the details of this empirical research were documented in this monograph. The monograph is divided into six chapters, with detailed descriptions on the research methodology. The Self-Management Tool was found to be effective in improving students' self-regulated learning. The findings have significant research and educational implications. Recommendations for future research are included in the final chapter of the monograph.
