Learning Flexibility and Environmental Changes with the Advent of Online Learning during COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The vital purpose of this study is to identify whether learning flexibility and environment will influence undergraduate students’ online learning during COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia. It is important to point out the determinants that will influence online learning that needs to be faced despite experiencing this world health crisis. The high level of online learning among students will also improve the performance of educational institutions which need to be competitive with other competitors in the sector. In addition, this study also aims to measure whether gender has significant difference on undergraduates’ online learning. Thus, survey questions from previous studies were adopted and customised to collect data. A sample of 129 undergraduate students from one UiTM branch campus who have experienced online learning in the previous semester in the year 2021. The results of this study indicate that there are significant relationships between learning flexibility, environment and online learning. The findings also reveal that the level of online learning among undergraduate students is moderate. Moreover, it is confirmed that gender has significant difference on online learning outcomes among the students. For future research, the use of more quizzes that can stimulate understanding of learning delivered online needs to be emphasized by knowledge communicators in this revolution of learning process.

Revolutionizing Learning: An Exploratory Study on The Impact of Technology-Enhanced Learning Using Digital Learning Platforms and AI Tools on The Study Habits of University Students Through Focus Group Discussions

“…Increased Use of Technology in Education opens up new possibilities for learning. Collaborative Knowledge Sharing (Bouton et al, 2021) (Nik Md Salleh et al, 2022) enhances learning through group work and information exchange. Flexibility in Learning goes beyond time constraints to improve learning outcomes (Nik Md Salleh et al, 2022).…”

Developing Talent and Performance of Government Employees, Capacitate Malaysia’s Development Plan

“…The researchers of this study obtained complete responses from 385 Kelantan state government employees, yielding a response rate of 69%. According to Mugenda & Mugenda (2003), this response rate is appropriate for analysis and publishing. A response rate of 50% is considered adequate for analysis and publishing, a response rate of 60% is considered good, and a response rate of 70% or more is considered very good, according to academics.…”

Designing Modeling-based Physics Online Learning Assisted with Home-lab-kit

“…As communication technology develops tremendously, online learning is getting popular. Online learning has several advantages, such as flexibility in the learning process [1,2]. In online learning, students have the freedom to set up their place and time for learning.…”
