Penggunaan teknologi dalam pendidikan matematik telah terbukti dapat memberi manfaat yang berguna dan menarik
minat pelajar terhadap matematik. Salah satunya adalah menerusi penggunaan perisian komputer matematik. Kewujudan
isitilah perisian sumber terbuka telah memberi harapan kepada pendidik untuk mengintegrasikan teknologi dalam pengajaran
dan pembelajaran kerana ia kini boleh diperolehi secara percuma. Kajian yang dijalankan ini bertujuan membandingkan
penggunaan perisian SAGE (perisian sumber terbuka) dengan perisian MACCC (perisian yang dibangunkan sendiri) dan
pengajaran secara tradisional. Kajian ini bertujuan menentukan keberkesanan penggunaan terhadap pencapaian, kemahiran
konsepsual, kemahiran prosedural, sikap pelajar terhadap matematik, dan penggunaan strategi kognitif pelajar. Seramai 68
orang pelajar UNITEN yang sedang mengambil kursus matematik kalkulus terlibat dalam kajian ini dibahagikan kepada tiga
kumpulan [tradisional (28 orang), MACCC (23 orang) dan SAGE(24 orang)]. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan terdapat kesan
signifikan terhadap min pencapaian pelajar antara setiap kumpulan [F(2,72) = 12.938, p = .000], min kemahiran konsepsual
[F(2,72) = 14.544, p = .000], dan min kemahiran prosedural [F(2,72)= 6,982, p= 0.002] dengan pelajar dalam kumpulan SAGE
menunjukkan keputusan lebih lebih baik dalam pencapaian, kemahiran konsepsual dan kemahiran prosedural berbanding
dengan kumpulan lain. Begitu juga dengan sikap pelajar terhadap matematik dan penggunaan strategi kognitif pelajar. Dapatan
kajian menunjukkan terdapat perbezaan signifikan dalam min sikap terhadap matematik dalam kalangan kumpulan [F(2,65) =
6.003, p= .004] dan min strategi kognitif pelajar dalam kalangan kumpulan F(2,65) = 4.056, p = .022]. dengan pelajar daripada
kumpulan SAGE adalah lebih baik dalam sikap terhadap matematik dan penggunaan strategi kognitif semasa pengajaran dan
pembelajaran matematik kalkulus berbanding dengan kumpulan lain. Kajian telah menunjukkan bahawa penggunaan perisian
sumber terbuka mempunyai banyak kelebihan terutamanya dalam pencapaian dan sikap mereka terhadap matematik.

The non-Muslims’ responses towards the Islamisation policy of the government and Islamic revivalism
in Malaysia and their major organisation aims regarding non-Muslims affairs have many things in common.
In order to fulfill the objectives of the study, this research chose the simple random sampling procedure. By
applying the random sampling, every ethnic community has an equal chance of being chosen and therefore, all
ethnic communities were represented in the sample. Both primary (qualitative and quantitative) and secondary
(documents) techniques and procedures were used to gather the data and information. For the purpose of this
study, the in-depth interview and unstructured interview were adopted. This procedure involved going through
all the data and picking out general themes, indexing and coding. Broad categories were gradually narrowed
down to more focused concepts. For each theme or issue (such as the understanding of religious freedom in the
Federal Constitution or the perception of the non-Muslims on an Islamic State), key elements were examined to
understand the perception of the non-Muslims according to age and gender or according to religious division.
However, it is fairly important, to know that the source of information on the perception of the non-Muslims on
Islam in Malaysia came from various literatures written by Malaysians and Westerners. Although the Malaysian
constitution guarantees the non-Muslims religious freedom and rights, what matters are the actual practices of the
Malaysian government and civil servants in implementing the constitutional provisions? The non-Muslims are
not convinced about their constitutional rights. Generally, their fears were based on the lack of a clear and open
discussion. The non-Muslims sense of insecurity will be increased as long as their rights are denied or neglected.
Attempts to Islamise Malaysia will further intensify the non-Muslim’s feeling of disadvantage and they will react
to fight for their rights.
