Background: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all courses taught in Malaysian schools and universities were conducted entirely virtually, after a movement control order was imposed in Malaysian on 18th March 2020. According to the research by Offir et al., (2007), extroversion-introversion (E-I) personalities have been shown to influence students’ involvement in class, their learning style and their understanding of the course materials. The purpose of this research was to explore how extrovert and introvert personality traits influence the acceptance of virtual learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A case study was conducted, focusing on a group of students taught by one of the researchers in our research team, HR. A total of 31 Diploma students (13 first year students and 18 second year students) taking Grooming and Professional Etiquette at Multimedia University, Malaysia (MMU) participated in the study. Open-ended questions were used to learn about the personality of each participant, as well as to provide a better understanding on how the opposing personas differs in their experiences with virtual learning. Results: Our results showed that 54.83% (17) of the students were introverts, 29.03 % (9) were extroverts, and 16.1% (5) were private-public-introvert-extroverts (PPIEs). The results for the acceptance level of virtual learning varied based on the different personality types. Results showed the extroverts expressed that the virtual learning experience was unpleasant, while the introverts and the PPIEs found virtual learning a useful and pleasant experience. Conclusion: This study was mainly descriptive, with open-ended questions used to gain insight on how different personality types differ in their acceptance of fully virtual learning. In future studies, inferential analysis could be carried out to test the hypotheses and assumptions. Future studies could also compare and contrast both students and lecturers’ acceptance of, and engagement in, online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
ABSTRAKPeristiwa komunikatif wawancara merupakan suatu peristiwa dua hala yang bersifat interaktif. Dalam peristiwa komunikatif wawancara, pola komunikasi yang diujarkan melalui lakuan bahasa tertentu memberi makna mengikut maksud ujaran daripada pemeran. Komunikasi berkesan dapat mengungkap persoalan siapa, bila, bagaimana, dan apa yang dapat menjelaskan segala keraguan dalam sesuatu pola komunikasi. Ini secara tidak langsung menyentuh kepada penelitian terhadap komponen dalam peraturan interaksi. Justeru, persoalan tentang etiket bahasa perlu diberi penekanan, kerana etiket bahasa memberi perhatian kepada cara-cara bahasa diungkapkan, berteraskan peraturan sosial dan budaya komuniti penuturnya. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menghuraikan dan menjelaskan peraturan interaksi melalui pola komunikasi yang diujarkan oleh pemeran dalam peristiwa komunikatif. Tumpuan kajian adalah terhadap wawancara dalam akhbar Mingguan Malaysia dan Utusan Malaysia dengan memberi penelitian terhadap peraturan interaksi yang terdapat dalam peristiwa komunikatif wawancara akhbar. Analisis data dilakukan dengan mengikut pendekatan etnografi komunikasi, dengan memberi tumpuan hanya kepada satu komponen, iaitu komponen norma interaksi. Berdasarkan kajian peristiwa komunikatif wawancara dalam akhbar ini didapati peraturan interaksi melalui penggunaan bahasa lisan dalam suasana formal dapat menyumbang kepada keberkesanan komunikasi dalam suatu hubungan sosial yang diseimbangkan dengan pemahaman terhadap latar budaya pemeran. Ini menjelaskan bahawa etiket bahasa amat dititiberatkan dalam mencapai matlamat suatu perbincangan yang interaktif. Kebijaksanaan pemeran dalam mematuhi peraturan interaksi yang menjadi nilai tradisi suatu komuniti dapat dimanfaatkan untuk memastikan komunikasi berkesan dicapai. Bahkan dalam suatu perbincangan interaktif kematangan setiap pemeran memberi hujah dapat dinilai daripada kemampuan pemeran memahami budaya yang melatari komuniti tertentu.Kata Kunci: peristiwa komunikatif; pola komunikasi; peraturan interaksi; etiket bahasa; hubungan sosial
