“…We used three and three item scales to measure technology adoption and learning performance by [136] and [137,138], respectively, which are already used as instruments in measuring technology adoption and the learning performance of its users. The sample items included "I plan to use business simulation games to manage my education-related learning", "I predict that I will continue to use simulation games for educational purposes", "I feel competent in completing my academic tasks", and "I have learned how to do my task compilation efficiently".…”

COVID-19 has disrupted educational institutes across the world. Teachers and students are now forced to teach and study online for an unidentified period, which severely hampers the learning capacity as well the student’s intention toward entrepreneurship. This study compared the impact of traditional teaching and teaching through online management simulation games on student learning performance and further leads to entrepreneurial intention. To further understand the desirability of business simulation games, we used the technology acceptance model (TAM) and extended it by employing knowledge sharing, knowledge application, learnability, perceived pleasure, and self-efficacy as exogenous variables. For this purpose, time-lagged data were collected from 277 students enrolled in entrepreneurship courses in public sector universities. To deal with homogeneity and generalizability issues, students from different collaborative universities were asked to participate in the study. Structural equation modeling was employed for analysis, where the results depict that the students learning performance was enhanced after using simulation games compared to regular theoretical online lectures, which further encouraged them to be entrepreneurs. We also concluded that simulation games are novel and effective online teaching methodology for students during a time of crisis. The study concludes with its theoretical, practical implications, and directions for future researchers.

“…To further understand the predictive influence of cognitive inquiry on students learning performance, this paper reviewed some of the literature related to learning performance. In most of the recent studies conducted by taking e-learning into the research framework, personalized learning supports improved students learning performance (Wongwaikit et al, 2020;Ali et al, 2018). Performance can be measured in terms of the improvement in critical thinking skills and problem-solving skills after taking a course (Law et al, 2019) and is a process-based concept.…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on university students during the Movement Control Order (MCO) and Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO). MCO was introduced in March 2020, and the learning process switched from face-to-face to online learning in schools and universities. Subsequently, with the reduced number of daily cases and active cases of COVID-19, the Malaysian Government implemented RMCO from 10th June to 31st December 2020, which had more relaxation of restrictions. This study particularly focuses on students studying in higher education institutions by analysing the impacts of the community of inquiry on students learning performance. The construct of the community of inquiry includes social presence, cognitive presence and teaching presence. Design/methodology/approach This paper provides quantitative analysis, independent sample t-tests and multiple linear regression on the students’ learning performance using the framework of community of inquiry. This paper presents the analysis of the online learning preference of 282 university students during MCO and 456 students during RMCO. Findings The results showed that there is a significant difference in students learning process during MCO and RMCO. The findings also indicated that the social presence is the most important factor in affecting learning performance during the MCO period and it changed to teaching presence during RMCO. Students lost motivation and could not perform well using online learning methods during the MCO period but the situation improved during RMCO. Research limitations/implications This research helps to identify the impact of the pandemic on higher education and provides insights into reshaping the future of higher education system. Practical implications Students are isolated from their peers in the learning process and struggle to adapt to the new normal in online learning. The teaching faculties are picking up new skills to deliver online courses and manage the risk as best as they can. This study presented the impact of the pandemic on students learning performance and explored the space for universities as business organizations to provide better infrastructures and platforms for online learning while battling with cash flow and debt level during this challenging time. Social implications Students need peer support and guidance from the faculty team in their learning journey. The study provides a better understanding of how we shall promote a better higher education environment, either blended or online learning. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study to examine the impact of the community of inquiry on students learning performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students suffered during the MCO period and the learning experience got better when they were able to adapt to the changes. The higher education system needs a reform and the agency theory in corporate governance plays an important role in the transformation.

Today, many applications or technologies have been produced by every software developer. However, the success of all there is the decision of each user. Users have two possibilities to accept or reject a technology that is presented. The TAM model has been widely researched and undergone development and changes besides being quite reliable in predicting the level of technology acceptance in all countries in the world. In this study, we will recapitulate all studies on the acceptance of technology in the field of Education that handles online learning. The results showed that there was 51 article review publication were selected through some process of review. The period taken ranges from 2011 to 2020. The main findings show that there are differences in the models, methods, and applications identified. Since the TAM model has two basic variables, namely perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness as a framework for analyzing the make and influence technology acceptance. In this study also provides information about the results of the identification of some of the gaps in current research and also in the future. Therefore, the results of a systematic literature review were able to provide a better understanding of TAM especially in the perspective of education in online learning.
