The Worker Wellbeing Index and Vocational Domain Exploration for Vocational Wellbeing Taxonomy Development

The era of modernization has given rise to new vocational, which emphasizes vocational training in educational institutions' curriculum. Graduates are provided with specialized skills, which include vocational and academic skills required by the labor market. The industrial revolution requires many skilled workers to boost the industrial and economic sectors. In the field of work involving skills, there is a need for mastery of knowledge in the cognitive domain. However, hand-on skills are also salient to be competent in the field. In academic education, Bloom's taxonomy does not meet the principles for assessing "wellbeing" via vocational skills to get a job in highly-skilled fields. Wellbeing is the value of an individual's happiness and contentment, and it is closely related to psychological capacity and human capital skills. The concept of wellbeing is closely related to human capital that can be translated into individual skills, as highlighted in TVET. Unlike academic or liberal education, vocational education involves developing all aspects of individual competence to function well in the workplace. Thus, VWT is essential to provide a framework for determining objectives and evaluating learning outcomes related to vocational education. This taxonomy is important to the development of a comprehensive vocational curriculum. The index of wellbeing and vocational domains are classification in the form of VWT and are expected to contribute to workers' wellbeing and sustainability growth. This initial study will employ a thorough review of relevant literature and theories.

NEEDS ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN UNIFORM PERCEPTION AND ORGANIZATIONAL PRIDE AND JOB SATISFACTION AMONG POLICE OFFICERS

In the early '80s, police officers were highly respected individuals, diligent and earnest in carrying out their duties, maintaining public order, and keeping the community safe and secure. However, the study of job satisfaction related to the uniform perception and organizational pride has received little attention from the context of the country's main security force, the Royal Malaysian Police. The purpose of this study therefore was to detect the direct and indirect connection between the uniform variable of perception and the organizational pride variable in the satisfaction of work among police officers of past scholars.This study is based on the theory of job satisfaction selected by adding the value of the relationship between uniform perception and organizational pride as independent variables among Sabah contingent police officers. At the end of this study, we should present the most recent models which can be applied to improve efficiency and organizational morale as well as to maximize community productivity.The findings of this study will be used to assist in assessing future interventions and team policies.

The Development Vocational Well-Being Taxonomy for Social and Economic Sustainability of the Nation: A Review

Well-being is the value of an individual's happiness and contentment, and it also refers to the physical, emotional, spiritual, and cultural comforts that can be achieved when the needs are met. It is closely related to psychological capacity and human capital skills. The concept of well-being is closely related to human capital that can be translated into individual skills, as highlighted in TVET. TVET agenda is also highlighted as one of the strategies in achieving Shared Prosperity Vision 2030. The purpose of Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 is for Malaysia to make life quality as a developed nation focused on the well-being of the people through various innovation strategies and transformation. However, Malaysia still critically lags in terms of the number of skilled workers, accounting for only 20% as compared to OECD countries such as Germany (60%), Singapore (51%), and Finland (43%). The main problem with the education system in Malaysia is that it focuses too much on the academic stream so that the vocational stream is considered second class. As the rate of unemployment among the academic stream begins to rise, there is awareness to enhance students' participation in the vocational stream to ensure the well-being of the people in terms of getting a job. In academic education, Bloom's taxonomy was created to classify educational goals, objectives, and outcomes. But Bloom's Taxonomy does not meet the criteria for assessing "wellbeing" through vocational skills in order to get a job in highly-skilled fields. The well-being of the people through full-employment may not be achieved without the strategy of increasing skilled workers through TVET. As such, it is critical to determine the important domains for vocational well-being that could be developed as a taxonomy for the social and economic sustainability of the nation. This initial study will employ a thorough review of relevant literature and theories.

The Need for Vocational Taxonomy for Vocational Teachers and Practitioners: An Initial Analysis

Malaysia's new Vision 2030 is for the people to attain quality life as a developed nation focused on relevant knowledge, high-skills, and the well-being of the people through various innovative strategies and transformations. The goal is to reach a balance of psychosocial wellbeing and economic sustainability of the nation. Taxonomy is an important tool in human civilisation. In an educational context, since 1956, Bloom taxonomy has been used to classify educational goals, objectives, and outcomes. However, the deficiency of the Bloom taxonomy is that it does not focus on the domain of psychomotor − which is the main domain in vocational education and training. Several theories are useful as the basis for vocational taxonomy. The relevant theories are cognitive, behaviourist, and psychomotor theories. Psychomotor theory is assumed relevant to explain psychomotor ability and domain. Furthermore, psychomotor domain is highly relevant to vocational education and training because it involves hands-on skills and tasks. The research design used in this study was the needs analysis based on experts' opinions. Seven vocational experts were selected based on the specific criteria. The key result shows that based on the qualitative interview data − a new vocational taxonomy is needed. The vocational taxonomy is important to classify vocational domains from the lowest level which is the theoretical vocational knowledge to the highest level which is inventive thinking. This vocational taxonomy is crucial for vocational instructors and practitioners. The vocational taxonomy could be used to map the subject content or curriculum, the level of teaching and learning, the practical tasks, and the vocational assessment.

levels with the coorperation of various parties to protect the earth life support systems. Orang Asli Indigenous
Knowledge of ‘Green Technology’ (IKGT) is a naturalistic and environmentally friendly technology which is used
to conserve and reduce the human impact on the earth as well as to create a way of sustainable development.
This study aims to examine the use of Orang Asli indigenous knowledge of their ‘green technology’ to practice
environmental sustainability and conserve natural resources now and later on to make the earth ‘greener’. The
study employed a descriptive case study qualitative approach which used in-depth interview, ϐield observation,
and document analysis as an exploration instrument. The design of the conceptual framework was framed based
on 2 themes; Indigenous Medicine (IM) and Indigenous Handicraft (IH). This research was carried out at Orang Asli
settlements in 4 states: i) Selangor, ii) Perak, iii) Terengganu and iv) Pahang which involved six informants aged
30 and older. The ϐindings of the study will be valuable for the purpose of sharing Orang Asli IKGT and provide the
main strategies in which the beneϐits of utilizing their green practices in the future world would overweight its cost.
Orang Asli IKGT’s framework can be used by the current society as a guide to lessen carbon footprint and others
harms evolved. In addition, it serves as a basic or medium for all levels; institutional, regional, national, and local
scales which aspire to launch sustainability programs locally or internationally as well as expanding economic and
market forces while safeguarding cultural diversity.

This knowledge is at risk of being lost due to the impact of colonization, habitat destruction and modernization. Indigenous knowledge of Orang Asli is naturalistic and environmentally friendly which is used to reduce the human impact on the environment as well as to create a sustainable development. Hence, this study was conducted to explore the indigenous knowledge in green technology of Orang Asli and how they transmit this knowledge to preserve their environment. This study adopts a qualitative approach through exploratory study whereby the study was carried out at the Orang Asli settlements located in Peninsular Malaysia. Data sources were obtained from the village headman (Tok Batin) and tribal elders who served as informants using in-depth interview, field observation, and document analysis. The conceptual framework in this study was based on An Integrated Model of Indigenous Economy, Social World and Ecosystems Model. Five aspects; (i) medicine, (ii) food, (iii) handicraft, (iv) music, and (v) forestry were selected to be studied. The interviews were audio-recorded for data analysis, transcribed verbatim and analyzed through Atlas.ti software. The key result of this study reveals that Orang Asli tribes in the designated area practice IKGT throughout their lives. This study contributed to the body of knowledge in terms of expanding the Orang Asli indigenous knowledge. The finding also shows that Orang Asli conserves natural resources without damaging the biodiversity. The implication of this study is to educate and inculcate awareness among all levels of the community to practice environmental sustainability and in the future to make the environment ‘greener’.

Traditional medicine (TM) is part of OA Indigenous Knowledge (IK) and they use it from generation to generation for spirituality, health and longevity. However, these traditional medicinal specifically herbs and plants known to OA have become lessen due to the impact of deforestation, urbanization and modernization. In response to the issue, this case study, therefore, seeks to explore and document the existing IK regarding the OA’s medicinal plants. In collecting qualitative data, this case study conducted in-depth interviews and field observations in a village of Mah Meri’s tribe. The interviews were carried out with tribal elders in Mah Meri settlement in Selangor involving three informants aged 30 and above. The interviews were video and audio-taped, verbatim transcribed, analyzed and imported into Atlas. ti software for data processing. The key findings of the study indicated that the reported medicinal plants are generally used locally in TM to treat various health problems such as fever, coughs and cold ailments. It is also important to ensure that the plants grow in wild nature and have not been “poisoned” with pesticides. The contribution of the OA IK in TM to the corpus knowledge could be used for medical treatment, education and further research in indigenous medicine.
