Kajian Pandangan Pihak Pembuat Dasar Terhadap Konsep Kolej Kediaman Lestari Di Universiti Awam Malaysia

Abstract

Kolej kediaman dibangunkan sebagai sebahagian komponen yang melengkapkan keseluruhan universiti. Kolej kediaman bertindak sebagai pusat perumuahan pelajar. Menurut Darus (2006), kolej kediaman merupakan sebahagian daripada komponen utama di dalam institut pengajian tinggi yang menyediakan kemudahan penginapan dan makanan serta mengadakan aktiviti-aktiviti pembangunan pelajar kepada mahasiswa di universiti. Menurut Alwee et al. (2008), kolej kediaman merupakan kemudahan yang disediakan oleh universiti bagi penginapan pelajar. Kajian Mat Hassan (2000), kolej kediaman merujuk kepada tempat penginapan dalam kampus sepanjang tempoh pengajian mereka di institusi pengajian tinggi di Malaysia. Bagi memastikan penghuni mendapat perkhidmatan kolej kediaman yang baik maka kemudahan yang disediakan oleh kolej kediaman perlulah mempunyai matlamat membantu proses pembelajaran penghuni. Dalam kajian Anuar et al. (2006), terdapat beberapa matlamat mengadakan kolej kediaman antaranya mewujudkan persekitaran yang bersesuaian untuk keperluan peribadi bagi mencapai prestasi diri yang baik. Penyediaan kemduhan yang selesa dan konduksif juga merupakan faktor penting yang mendorong penghuni untuk mencapai kecemerlangan dalam pelajaran dan pembangunan sahsiah diri. Universiti perlu menyediakan sebuah tempat tinggal yang selesa dan konduksif bagi memenuhi keperluan pelajar universiti. Dalam perihal ini, aspek kelestarian di kolej kediaman adalah salah satu faktor yang perlu diberikan perhatian bagi mencapai matlamat menyediakan sebuah kolej kediaman yang selesa dan konduksif. Berteraskan konsep kelestarian bagi membangunkan kolej kediaman pada masa hadapan diperlukan untuk memastikan keharmonian

Physical accessibility in Malaysian higher educational institutions: Voices of students with disabilities

“…Hearing-impaired students were not provided adequate sign language interpreters, visually impaired students struggled with using computers, and most students with disabilities expressed difficulties with on-campus infrastructure and transportation systems. Almost a decade after, several studies (Buyung and Shafii, 2015;Yusof et al, 2020, among others) reported similar results to Toran et al (2009), which implies 'slow' progress in building inclusive facilities for people with disabilities in HEIs. For example, Buyung and Shafii (2015) discussed students with disabilities' accommodation problems in HEIs and concluded that the provided infrastructures were not accessible, did not meet the students' needs and were of low quality.…”

“…This implies that approximately 54 percent of the participants had at least 1 item out of the 34 items unavailable for them. Among the five domains, accommodation received the least responses mainly because some students with disabilities were not staying in on-campus accommodation (reported as unsuitable), supporting Buyung and Shafii’s (2015) concerns regarding the need for specific guidelines in developing smart-accommodation for students with disabilities. Table 3 presents the overall data distribution.…”

Mobile-Heutagogical Practices among Student Teachers: Its Pedagogical Affordances and Challenges

“…Efforts to use technology are gaining traction on a global scale, especially in higher institutions and universities. It is well documented in the news that the presence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) has some impact on the education sector, including higher education [18]. The 4IR means a comprehensive and rapid change in the industry that is closely related to the rapid development of technology [6].…”
