    The reality of ethnic and cultural diversity in the classroom today is a massive challenge for teachers, especially prospective teachers. The teacher education program is vital in educating prospective teachers with culturally responsive pedagogy and teaching students from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. A school environment consisting of students from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds requires teachers to meet their needs. Teachers must be culturally competent to respond effectively in terms of diversity in their classrooms and prepare their students to live and work in a global society. Preparing prospective teachers for this role is not an easy task and what makes it more difficult is that the diversity of teachers does not always match the diversity of students in schools. This paper will discuss cultural competency among prospective teachers and related theories regarding this issue. Teachers and prospective teachers should show professional competencies that will enable them to work effectively, respectfully, and ethically with students from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

This framework combines the advanced version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) and the UNESCO Digital Wellbeing Framework. The proposed methodology for this study is a quantitative method using an online questionnaire with respondents selected through simple random sampling. The study's results are expected to determine the level of digital wellbeing among Malaysian youth in particular. In addition, this study also predicts the variables that influence the digital wellbeing of youth. The results of this study provide theoretical implications for the combination of the UTAUT2 theory and the holistic nine-dimensional digital wellbeing framework.

    Online shopping has become a trend nowadays and a survey shows that youngsters among Generation Y are the most active users on using online shopping. In the meantime, National Consumer Complaints Centre (NCCC) has received lots of complaints about online shopping scams. Therefore, this study determines the psychological factors influencing online shopping behaviour among students of Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP). A conceptual framework is proposed by applying the constructs of Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) including attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, buying behaviour and two additional factors which are perceived risks and perceived benefits adopted from the past empirical studies which are determined as psychological factors of online shopping. This quantitative research used a questionnaire via google form link distributed to 390 respondents selected by convenience sampling among UniMAP students. The results showed that attitude, perceived risks and perceived benefits had relationship toward online buying due to p=<0.05. Meanwhile, subjective norms have a very weak relationship with r-value=.130 and perceived behaviour control was not correlated with online shopping (P-value=0.870). Perceived behavioural control influence an individual's understanding of the complexity or ease of executing a specific action concludes that psychological factors partially influence online shopping among UniMAP's students.
