Students fail to grasp the certain concepts of subject, which lead disinterest among students. Moreover students are often unable to apply their knowledge to advance studies. In concept attainment, students figure out the attributes of a group or category that has been provided by the teacher. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of applying the concept attainment model mix with other model on students critical thinking skill and the use of technology in teaching. The literature review method was used to collect and analyze the relevant literature in this field. The results of this literature review reveal that the concept attainment model mix with other model have proven effective in enhancing students understanding and practical skills and found there will be significant difference between the mean achievement scores of the science or social students taught. The strategy is based on the research investigated how different variables affected the concept learning process and the use of technology in teaching have proven effective in enhancing students understanding and practical skills. However, several challenges were also identified, such as the lack of adequate resources and facilities, the need for increased training of lecturers, and adaptation to technological changes in the concept attainment model. Further research is needed to address this challenge and develop the concept attainment model that are more integrated and relevant to industry needs. By taking into account the findings of this literature review, it is hoped that the concept attainment model mix with other model on students critical thinking skill and the use of technology in teaching can be improved, so that students can acquire the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in the world of computaion work.</p> Sofian Rizal, Basuki Wibawa, Ifik Lakswirinto Arifin, Ivan Hanafi, Teguh Trianung Djoko Susanto Copyright (c) 2024 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MODERN TRENDS IN SOCIAL SCIENCES (IJMTSS) https://gaexcellence.com/ijmtss/article/view/4149 Fri, 27 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0800 IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF CULTURAL INTEGRATION: THE DEVELOPMENT STATUS AND REASONS OF DIVERSE CULTURE IN MALAYSIA —— TAKE MAHUA CULTURE AS AN EXAMPLE https://gaexcellence.com/ijmtss/article/view/4147 <p style="text-align: justify;">After the end of the Second World War, the multicultural policies of developed Western countries have generally adopted a policy of cross-fertilization of assimilation, pluralism and integration in response to their respective national conditions. Based on the study of the development of multicultural integration in developed Western countries, this paper examines the current situation of multicultural development in Malaysia and explores the reasons for it from the perspective of cultural integration.&nbsp; As one of the Southeast Asian countries, Malaysia has had close exchanges with China since ancient times, and the Chinese are also an important force in the modernization of their country. Therefore, this paper applies the literature research method to explore the manifestation of multicultural integration in Malaysia by taking the&nbsp; phenomenon&nbsp; of&nbsp; Malaysian&nbsp; localization of the Malaysian-Chinese&nbsp; culture&nbsp; as&nbsp; an&nbsp; example,&nbsp; and&nbsp; further&nbsp; explores&nbsp; the historical reasons for the formation of the phenomenon of multicultural integration in Malaysia, and discusses the history of the exchanges of the two ethnic groups, the Malaysian-Chinese, from the ancient times to the modern times, and from the trade to the emigration.</p> Gao WenJun, Nur Arjun Khalid Copyright (c) 2024 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MODERN TRENDS IN SOCIAL SCIENCES (IJMTSS) https://gaexcellence.com/ijmtss/article/view/4147 Fri, 27 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0800 KEMAHIRAN KEPIMPINAN KENDIRI, TINGKAH LAKU KERJA INOVATIF DAN IKLIM SEKOLAH TERHADAP PRESTASI KERJA GURU DI SEKOLAH MENENGAH TS25, SABAH https://gaexcellence.com/ijmtss/article/view/4152 <p style="text-align: justify;">Kertas Konsep ini membincangkan kemahiran kepimpinan kendiri, tingkah laku kerja inovatif dan iklim sekolah terhadap prestasi kerja guru sekolah menengah TS25 di negeri Sabah.

This article explores the complex relationship between social media and the success of contemporary women, examining both the positive and negative impacts of social media usage on women's perceptions of success, self-esteem, and well-being. Drawing on a synthesis of existing literature, empirical research, and real-life examples, we delve into the ways in which social media platforms shape societal norms, cultural values, and individual aspirations, particularly among women. We discuss the role of social media in perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards, fostering comparison culture, and exacerbating feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. Conversely, we highlight the empowering potential of social media as a tool for self-promotion, networking, and community-building, enabling women to challenge stereotypes, amplify their voices, and pursue their passions. Furthermore, we propose strategies for harnessing the positive effects of social media while mitigating its negative consequences, including promoting authenticity, fostering digital literacy, and advocating for policy changes. Finally, we identify avenues for further research to deepen our understanding of the nuanced interplay between social media and women's success, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and ethical considerations in studying this complex phenomenon. By engaging in dialogue, research, and action, we can cultivate a digital landscape that empowers women to thrive, succeed, and authentically express themselves in the 21st century<em>.</em></p> Quyen Do Copyright (c) 2024 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MODERN TRENDS IN SOCIAL SCIENCES (IJMTSS) https://gaexcellence.com/ijmtss/article/view/4150 Fri, 27 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0800 QEEG-GUIDED CLINICAL NEUROFEEDBACK: BOTTOM-UP APPROACH PROTOCOLS FOR BRAIN FOG SYMPTOMS https://gaexcellence.com/ijmtss/article/view/4148 <p style="text-align: justify;">This case report details the procedures for a client with brain fog symptoms using quantitative electroencephalograph (qEEG)-guided neurofeedback to alleviate or improve functionality. Based on the qEEG brain mapping assessment of the client, four different sets of clinical neurofeedback training protocols were designed and implemented in order to alleviate brain fog symptoms and improve his self-regulation skills in dealing with past trauma. Several measurements were administered pre- and posttraining as indicators of treatment outcome. These included pre- and post-qEEG brain mapping, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Cognitive Disturbance Scale (CDS) to determine the effectiveness of the interventions for the client. There was significant changes reported on the targeted bandwidth brainwaves after the clinical neurofeedback sessions. As a result, the clinical intervention of qEEG-guided neurofeedback was found to be effective for the client with brain fog symptoms in reducing the cognitive impairment.</p> Koo Kian Yong, Loh Jun Ming, Wong Tianni, Lee Jia Wen, Gan Chi Kien Copyright (c) 2024 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MODERN TRENDS IN SOCIAL SCIENCES (IJMTSS) https://gaexcellence.com/ijmtss/article/view/4148 Fri, 27 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0800 KEPIMPINAN TRANSFORMASI PENGETUA, PENGURUSAN REFORMASI DAN MOTIVASI KERJA TERHADAP PRESTASI KERJA GURU SEKOLAH MENENGAH DI NEGERI SABAH https://gaexcellence.com/ijmtss/article/view/4153 <p style="text-align: justify;">Kertas Konsep ini membincangkan kepimpinan transformasi pengetua, pengurusan reformasi dan motivasi kerja terhadap prestasi kerja guru sekolah menengah di negeri Sabah.
