The documents are used as formal documents in teachers' performance appraisal evaluation since 2016. This article attempts to understand the issues of the implementation based on the teachers' experiences on the evaluation conducted by educational leaders in their schools. Performance appraisal is always stigmatized with the element of bias, and it is crucial to have clear perspectives of the teachers' true experiences on the positional of this claim. For the analysis, a single explanatory case study based on qualitative methodology was implemented by adapting deductive thematic analysis method. In order to collect transparent data, semi-structured interview questions were designed using the formal appraisal evaluation form as reference. The selection of informants was using purposive sampling which involved five teachers with working experience between five to 30 years. The analysed data from the interview transcriptions and formal documents were divided into three themes: practice, implementations, leaders' capabilities, and teachers' experiences. Through the data, it is interesting to find that the contrast between the documents implementation and the actual practice carries out in schools. Halo effect is one of the leadership biases which frequently occurred based on the data collected. This study could be a reference to the school and educational leaders to thoroughly examine the reality and capabilities of the school leaders to reduce bias in education service officers' performance appraisal.

This study is to explore the problems faced by the pupils in writing guided essay and to identify the effects of using process writing in teaching guided essay. This study implemented the classification scheme of Quasiexperimental design adapted from Cresswell (2008) which deals with a single group test for the post-test, treatments and pre-test. Two sets of questionnaires were designed for the pupils and the teachers to answer. At the same time interviews were also conducted. These instruments were used as tools to examine the influence of teaching and learning essay using the process approach on the pupils. Sixty pupils from year 6 and five teachers were selected to participate in this study. The pupils were asked to write guided essays and the essays were marked using the assessment marking scheme of the UPSR format. Initially, by referring to the pre-test conducted, the pu...

Network-Based Language Learning has been developed on the basis of various fields of problems such as differences of mediums, linguistic styles, and level of engagement which complicate the original goal of it. (Kern and Warschauer, 2000).

The introduction of the first revelation of Surah Al-'Alaq is a prove that Islam had been the pioneer in introducing the formal method in education to the children. Through this surah, scholars had expended the definition into a vast definition and interpretations, and one of the scholars was Al Ghazali. In his book, 'Ihya Ulum Ad Din', there is a chapter discussing only on the subject of 'ilm (knowledge) in which Al Ghazali mentioned that the utmost objective of learning knowledge is to fear Allah and to become pious. Knowledge and education are seen as a way to get closer to Allah and at the same time to develop a good behaviour or adab. Al Ghazali had seen the knowledge and education as exactly as what our Prophet Muhammad SAW taught us in which to seek Allah's blessings on those who seek knowledge. Knowledge is a tool to balance the meaning of our life, in which not merely focused on the worldly matters but also to achieve the goal of the life hereafter.

Political organizational support is always perceived as the opposites of the organizational support and practice. However, we need to give the in-depth views and definition on this matter. The political implementation in the working and organizational must be divided and interpreted in more precise and diverse manner. If the political implementation is towards the working environments, this might contribute an adverse effect onto the whole organization in a long term.
However, if the political views and implementations are being practiced by individual to gain a certain carrier achievement, it is unfair to directly allocate the political organizational support as something negative. I would agree with what the writers when they stated that how the individual practiced the term itself will bring the term ‘politics into a real purpose rather than practicing it in the organization. We cannot simply put aside the functions and the contribution of politics in an organization (Ferris, G. R., Russ, G. S. and Fandt, P.M, 1989).

Sesungguhnya ini adalah satu usaha yang murni dalam memperkaya khazanah perbukuan di Malaysia. Doa adalah pengharapan seseorang untuk mendapatkan kebaikan daripada Allah SWT dengan memohon secara langsung kepada-Nya. Setiap individu mempunyai keperluan dan keinginan masingmasing sama ada secara positif atau negatif, kerana mereka terpaksa menghadapi pelbagai rencam kehidupan berupa cabaran, halangan dan dugaan. Justeru umat Islam diajar supaya berdoa kepada Allah SWT bagi memohon limpah perkenan dan rahmat-Nya supaya hajat terkabul. Maksudnya: "Sesungguhnya doa itu bermanfaat terhadap apa yang telah diturunkan dan apa yang belum diturunkan. Oleh itu, hendaklah kamu berdoa wahai hamba Allah." Riwayat al-Tirmizi (3548) Riwayat Ahmad (15360), (15363); al-Nasa'ie dalam al-Sunan al-Kubra (9831) dan al-Tabarani dalam al-Du'a (293) Pada waktu petang, hendakah ditukar lafaz " " kepada " " َا ن ْ ح َ ب ْ ص َ أ َا ن ْ ي َ س ْ م َ أ Maksudnya: "Ya Allah, Engkau adalah Tuhan kami. Tidak ada tuhan yang berhak disembah kecuali Engkau, Engkaulah yang menciptakan kami dan kami adalah hamba-Mu. Kami akan setia pada perjanjian kami pada-Mu dan janji-Mu dengan sedaya upaya kami. Kami berlindung kepada-Mu dari kejahatan yang kami lakukan. Kami mengakui nikmat-Mu kepada kami dan kami mengakui dosa kami, maka ampunilah kami. Sesungguhnya tiada yang mengampuni dosa kecuali Engkau.

By this, religion will be our fundamental element of reference. This is understood as we; the Muslims, are very different from the Christians. The revealed Law or also known as the Sharia Law has always been our guide. It is the documentations of what was expressed through the teachings, what had been said and modeled by our Prophet ﷺ.

This process of developing and imparting the value if Islamization of knowledge are still being done but, surely there will be a few changes as it progressed.
The concept of Islamization of knowledge mostly adapted by the ideas of several Muslim scholars such as Syed Naquib Al Attas (1978) and Ismail al Faruqi (1982). Their ideas were later being expanded and refined by few prominent scholars and mostly mentioned are Dr. Abdul Hamid Abusulayman and professor Dr. Kamal Hassan; both were the former rectors of International Islamic University of Malaysia.
