PANGAYAN1*, JURRY FOO1 1Pusat Kokurikulum dan Pemajuan Pelajar, Universiti Malaysia Sabah Seringkali isu yang membelenggu operasi Rumah Amal yang menempatkan golongan asnaf dan anak yatim adalah sumber kewangan yang tidak menentu, yang mana kebanyakannya bergantung harap pada sumbangan derma dan wang ehsan orang ramai. Kesan dari masalah ini menyebabkan kesejahteraan warganya yang kurang terbela dari segi pemakanan, kesihatan dan pendidikan oleh kerana kekangan sumber kewangan yang tetap dalam menampung perbelanjaan operasi mereka. Atas dasar ini, Pusat Kokurikulum dan Pemajuan Pelajar, Universiti Malaysia Sabah melalui salah satu kursus kokurikulum berkreditnya telah mengambil inisiatif dengan melaksanakan program UMS-SPRINT ESG yang bertujuan membantu warga Rumah Amal Kasih di Kota Kinabalu, Sabah untuk menjana kewangan yang lestari. Program UMS-SPRINT ESG (atau UMS-Siswa Prihatin ESG) adalah program yang menggabungkan objektif pembelajaran dan perkhidmatan yang dapat memanfaatkan komuniti setempat. Melaluinya, warga Rumah Amal Kasih berpeluang untuk menjalankan aktiviti ekonomi sendiri dalam menampung perbelanjaan operasi mereka melalui latihan penyediaan makanan dan kemahiran digital media sosial yang diberikan. Program yang bersifat “experiental learning” ini direka selari dengan matlamat ESG (berdasarkan toggak Sosial) dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan dan membantu menjana ekonomi komuniti tanpa terlalu bergantung kepada sumbangan derma dan wang ehsan.

Service-learning programs, however, offer a practical solution. They provide hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of developing generic skills, such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership while fostering a sense of social responsibility and empathy. This research discusses the impact of service-learning programs on developing generic skills among undergraduate students, specifically focusing on a case study of UTM Caring Society students in Malaysia who organised service-learning programs for Kampung Tampok Laut, Benut community. Through these programs, they built a prototype of a grading machine for separating clams. They also created a 3D landscape prototype for the Tampok Laut Recreation Park conservation to improve the village's visibility and branding. Students' competency in organising the service-learning program for the local community was evaluated by collecting feedback from 50 participants of the Kampung Tampok Laut community in Benut. Feedback was also gathered from the UTM Caring Society students to investigate the effectiveness of servicelearning programs in bridging skill gaps among students. The findings confirm that service-learning programs effectively address the disparities in generic skills among students. Therefore, service-learning programs provide a promising approach to help students develop generic skills essential for success in the challenges of the competitive world, offering a practical and effective solution to the generic skills gap.

Various methods and activities can foster leadership skills, with students benefiting notably from participating in co-curricular activities provided by their educational institutions. Given the critical role of leadership abilities in addressing graduate unemployment—where many recent graduates fall short of employers' expectations due to insufficient leadership skills—this research focuses on the leadership development potential of student involvement in the Reserve Officer Training Unit (ROTU) extracurricular activities. A quantitative survey was deployed, employing questionnaires to gather data from 88 second-year until fourth-year ROTU students. The collected data underwent analysis using descriptive statistics and oneway ANOVA via SPSS software. The findings indicate a modest perception among students regarding ROTU's contribution to leadership skill development. Additionally, the one-way ANOVA results revealed no notable disparity in leadership skill development across different faculties. These results highlight the need for enhancing student leadership development to ensure more satisfactory outcomes. The university should actively promote and support student engagement in co-curricular activities as a means to cultivate and refine their leadership capabilities.

The innovation of this teaching and learning technique started when improvements were made in the structure of the Materials Science Course (USM 2112) at the Vocational College in terms of the introduction to the Final Year Project Evaluation and the emphasis on practical aspects. As the new syllabus emphasizes fundamental theory in Materials Science, the creative idea of the project Crystal Voyage: Discover, Create, Learn! was conceived as a solution in overcoming the difficulty of understanding some topics related to atoms, lattices, and metal crystal structures, especially for TVET students who traditionally focus more on students' technical skills. The main focus of this innovation is to increase the interest and understanding of TVET instructors and students, especially in Vocational Colleges (KV) related to atoms, lattices and metal crystal structures. This innovation uses a comprehensive and interactive module focused on Project-Based Learning. The focus is on the aspects of exploration, creation, and hands-on learning in groups in line with Bloom's Taxonomy levels of remembering (C1), understanding (C2), applying (C3), and analyzing (C4) in Phase 1. While the innovations of Phase 2 are those form the four main structures of the metal crystal lattice using special software and a three-dimensional printing method (3D printing) in line with Bloom's Taxonomy level of evaluating (C5) and creating (C6). Phase 3 is the marketing of the metal crystal lattice atom model from Phase 2 as an innovation teaching aid for the topic of atoms, lattices and metal crystal structures. This project is in line with sustainable development goals (SDGs) 4 (Quality Education), 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), and 17 (Cooperation for Goals).

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 4Pusat Asasi Pertahanan, Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia, 57000 Sungai Besi, W.P. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Since its inception, Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) has prioritized students’ character development, given its strong association with the military. Therefore, defining the concept of Leaders of Character (LOC) for UPNM has been of utmost importance to ensure it translates into excellent character assessments for the students. This study focuses on defining Leaders of Character to provide guidelines that support the university’s mission and vision. Unfortunately, there is a lack of information to assist in defining these attributes, resulting in various perspectives that hinder proper assessment. Therefore, basic doctrines from military services worldwide have been used as the fundamental basis for these arguments, which are then adapted to fit UPNM’s local culture and principles. The resulting definition establishes a common understanding among administrators, academics, and students, leading to greater appreciation of the concept. This can then be used to create a standard character assessment or measurement tool to gauge the performance of students with regard to LOC.
