Education for sustainable development allows each modern humans being to obtain the information, skills, attitudes and principles necessary to shape a sustainable future. The word Geo derives from the Greek word meaning "earth" which can also be interpreted in the sense of land, global or Earth-related. The purpose of this study is to analyze expert consensus for the new educational module, Geo-Education. The objective of this study is to obtain from 12 expert views to build the questionnaire of Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) in 10 points Likert scale and consensus on Primer; Natural Ecosystem; Issues and Problems; Sustainable Lifestyle; and Cross-Curricular. The methodology of this research used quantitative fuzzy Delphi analysis. The instrument consists of five sections covering 25 review items for expert consensus. The findings show that experts have consensus agree on all 25 items exceeds 75%, and all defuzzification values for each item exceeds the value of α-cut = 0.5. That means all those items are accepted by the experts. Fuzzy Delphi Method enhanced the accuracy of the questionnaire about Geo-Education module. This study has provided preliminary information on Geo-Education module aspects that need to be focused on Primary; Natural Ecosystem; Issues and Problems; Sustainable Lifestyle; and Cross-Curricular in the process of developing effective teaching and learning modules. The implication concludes that the Geo-Education Module can be used as guidance to the Ministry of Education Malaysia to supplement the teaching materials to teachers training institutes.

Flexible online programmes and learning are gaining popularity as a means of educating students. It can also facilitate the delivery of knowledge to pupils, as well as facilitating the learning process. The purpose of this study was to investigate Online Learning Challenges following the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak in Malaysia. This study employs the qualitative and Fuzzy Delphi Method in collecting the data. In the qualitative research phase, open-ended questions were distributed to 118 participants, while in the Fuzzy Delphi phase, expert questionnaires were distributed to 7 experts in the field of study. Qualitative data were analysed using Atlas-ti software, whereas Fuzzy Delphi data was analysed using Fudelo 1.0 software. The qualitative study discovered that students confront seven significant challenges: internet coverage, mental fatigue, learning devices, environmental disturbance, pedagogical challenges, lack of motivation, and social interaction. Meanwhile, the fuzzy Delphi analysis of the expert consensus of the theme is at a reasonable level. The overall expert consensus agreement findings exceed 75%, the overall value of the threshold (d) is 0.2, and the -cut exceeds 0.5. The study provides important insights into online learning issues and the fields for further improvement. This study also discusses the avenue for future research by future researchers for more significant benefits and contributions to knowledge in general. © 2021. All Rights Reserved.

Governments globally have adopted various types of E-Taxation systems as part of E-Government plans in providing taxpayers a media to lodge tax claims at their ease. As this article is concerned with user satisfaction, a critical analysis of satisfaction literature related to Information Systems (IS), E-Taxation, E-Government, and technology in general, has been thoroughly done. For instance, technology such as Artificial Intelligence is being introduced in practically all aspects of society, including E-Taxation. This led to the understanding of how different researchers have theorized the ‘Satisfaction’ concept in the related areas. We focused on identifying the factors that constitute user satisfaction with the E-Taxation system. As a result, it is discovered that to date, limited studies have been devoted to evaluating user satisfaction with E-Taxation systems. Also, we found the emergence of several dimensions that require further investigation. Therefore, in this article, a conceptual model to evaluate E-Taxation satisfaction among taxpayers is proposed based on DeLone and McLean IS Success Model (D&M). Finally, we urged that the model should be empirically validated so that it will be practical to be adopted to guide local government to improve the quality of services delivered through E-Taxation systems.

This paper reports on the development of an instrument designed to measure the VLE success (VLES) amongst teachers. The items for VLES instrument were constructed in several steps including items’ face validation, content validation and reliability analysis. Forty-five final items have been produced after the analyses, with the deletion of 33 initial items. This validated VLES scale will be useful for future researchers in developing and testing VLE models or theories while at the same time will provide the tool for VLE stakeholders to evaluate the implementation from the teachers’ point of view.
