QUESTIONS

Marks/ Markah

1. Read the case below and answer the questions.

Jamal decided to go to a university as he no longer could stand

the treatment from his boss. Even though, he knew he would be

much older than the other students in his class, he was still

determined to study and enrolled into OUM. At first, he was facing

problems with studying. He was not used to studying so much.

Whenever he tried to study, his children or wife would be asking

for his attention on a question or something to discuss. Very

often, he would not finish his assignments. He prefers to present

his assignment in hand-written form, as he is not too confident in

using the Microsoft Word. He did not do well on the first

assignment and he realised that the other students knew much

more of the course material than he did. He realised he would not

succeed if he were to continue studying the way he did, so he

changed his methods. He started studying during his work breaks

and lunch hour. He could concentrate better and then he could

still attend to family matters in the evenings. He also participated

actively in the discussions in the ‘online discussion forum’ and

practiced using Microsoft Word. Using these methods, Jamal’s

marks were getting better.

a) What are the TWO (2) skills that Jamal lacked before

he changed his studying methods?

(2)

b) Explain THREE (3) reasons behind Jamal’s success in

his studies.

(3)

c) Give TWO (2) reasons why Jamal should participate in

the online discussion forum.

(2)

you think as such?

(3)

(Total / Jumlah : 10)

Baca kes berikut dan jawab soalan-soalan yang diberikan.

Jamal telah memutuskan untuk melanjutkan pelajaran di universiti

kerana beliau tidak dapat bertahan lagi dengan layanan ketuanya.

Walaupun, beliau tahu umurnya lebih tua daripada pelajar lain di

dalam kelas, beliau masih berazam untuk belajar dan telah

mendaftarkan diri dengan OUM. Pada mulanya, beliau

menghadapi masalah pembelajaran. Beliau tidak biasa dengan

pembelajaran yang begitu banyak. Apabila sahaja beliau cuba

belajar, anak-anaknya dan isterinya akan meminta perhatiannya

dengan menanyakan sesuatu atau membincangkan sesuatu hal.

Beliau kerap tidak dapat menghabiskan tugasannya. Beliau lebih

suka menyiapkan tugasannya dengan cara menulis tangan,

kerana beliau tidak begitu yakin menggunakan Microsoft Word.

Beliau tidak membuat tugasan pertamanya dengan baik dan

mendapat tahu bahawa pelajar-pelajar lain lebih banyak

mengetahui tentang bahan kursus daripada dirinya. Beliau

menyedari bahawa beliau tidak akan berjaya sekiranya beliau

meneruskan cara pembelajarannya seperti yang biasa

dilakukannya. Oleh itu beliau telah menukar cara

pembelajarannya. Beliau mula belajar pada waktu rehat kerja dan

pada waktu makan tengahari. Beliau dapat menumpukan

perhatian dengan lebih baik dan mendapati bahawa beliau masih

dapat memberi perhatian kepada hal-hal keluarga pada waktu

malam. Beliau juga turut mengambil bahagian secara aktif di

dalam ‘perbincangan forum atas talian’ dan berlatih

menggunakan Microsoft Word. Dengan menggunakan

pendekatan tersebut, markah Jamal bertambah baik.

dipunyai oleh Jamal sebelum dia mengubah kaedah

secara bijak? Mengapa anda berpendapat sedemikian?

2. Read the following passage and answer the questions.

Introduction: the growth in portion sizes

Obesity is a rapidly growing, world-wide public health problem. In

recent decades, there has been a significant increase in the

prevalence of obesity. The World Health Organization estimates

that globally there are over 1 billion adults and 17 million children

who are overweight or obese (World Health Organization, 2004).

It is unlikely that our biology could have changed in several

decades, so other explanations for this surge in obesity rates

must be found. One possible reason for the increase is that the

environment in Westernized societies has altered, so that over

consumption of energy has become easier. At the same time,

opportunities for physical activity have declined. Thus, it is

increasingly difficult for individuals to match energy intake to

energy output in order to maintain a healthy body weight. Some of

the changes in the eating environment that encourage overeating

are the increasing availability of inexpensive high-energy-dense

(kJ/ g) foods, the wide variety of palatable foods, the increasing

frequency of meals consumed outside of the home, and the rise in

portion sizes. While all of these changes may stimulate excess

intake, we will present data suggesting that large portion sizes,

particularly of energy-dense foods, are contributing to the

epidemic of obesity, and we will present constructive measures

that could help to improve the eating environment.

5. The following information was found in a website.

Motivation at Workplace

Since motivation influences productivity, supervisors need to

understand what motivates employees to reach peak

performance. It is not an easy task to increase employee

motivation because employees respond in different ways to their

jobs and their organisation's practices. Motivation is the set of

processes that moves a person toward a goal. Thus, motivated

behaviors are voluntary choices controlled by the individual

employee. The supervisor (motivator) wants to influence the

factors that motivate employees to higher levels of productivity.

Factors that affect work motivation include individual differences,

job characteristics, and organisational practices. Individual

differences are the personal needs, values, and attitudes,

interests and abilities that people bring to their jobs. Job

characteristics are the aspects of the position that determine its

limitations and challenges. Organisational practices are the rules,

human resources policies, managerial practices, and rewards

systems of an organisation. Supervisors must consider how these

factors interact to affect employee job performance
