Application of Fuzzy Delphi Method in Developing Common Nouns and Proper Nouns Innovations

Abstract

This study focuses on the creation and expert evaluation of a novel educational module aimed at improving students' grasp of common and proper nouns within vernacular school (SJK) textbooks. By integrating classroom learning with engaging, interactive tools, the module is designed to enhance students' understanding and application of noun concepts, thereby improving their writing accuracy. Employing the Fuzzy Delphi method, the study garnered insights from 20 Bahasa Malaysia (BM) experts through a comprehensive questionnaire. This questionnaire evaluated various aspects of the module, including its content, effectiveness, and the innovative use of KaNAK cards and Jenga games for learning. The unanimous consensus among experts, indicated by a threshold d value below 0.2, over 75% agreement, and a defuzzification (alpha-cut) above 0.5, validates the module's design and educational approach. This strong expert agreement highlights the module's potential to significantly enhance noun teaching and learning in BM. The findings suggest the need for further investigation into the module's application in classroom settings and its impact on student learning outcomes, pointing towards future research directions involving pilot studies to assess the module's effectiveness in practice.
