Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the extent to which the influence of demographic factors in predicting student readiness factors in implementing e-learning methods. A quantitative approach was used and a total of 398 respondents were involved by using the sampling method through a combination technique between multiple layers and groups. Instrument questionnaire was developed and modified for the purpose of obtaining data of the study. The findings found that there are certain significant demographic factors in predicting computer user attitude, computer literacy, computer facilities and technology access. Demographic factors based on polytechnic students in predicting computer user attitude are races (Malay and India), secondary education (technical), academic standards (STPM / Matriculation), the field of study (information technology and commerce) and years of study (first year). While the demographic factors on polytechnic students in predicting computer literacy factors are races (India), secondary education (vocational), academic level (SPM / SPMV), the field of study (information technology, tourism and hospitality also engineering) and year of study (first, second and third year). For demographic factors based on polytechnics, the number of student enrollment (the number of students are less than 1000 and the number of students between 3000 and 4000) is significant in predicting computer facilities and technology access. It is hoped that this study will be able to provide a clear explanation of the demographic influence that needs to be considered so that the implementation of e-learning approach can achieve the real purpose. This is in line with government policy which hopes this approach can be strengthened to a global level.

 

Kajian ini dijalankan bagi mengenalpasti sejauhmana pengaruh faktor demografi dalam meramal faktor kesediaan pelajar dalam mengimplimentasikan kaedah e-pembelajaran. Pendekatan kuantitatif digunakan dan seramai 398 responden telah terlibat dengan menggunakan kaedah persampelan melalui teknik gabungan antara rawak berlapis dan berkelompok. Instrumen soal selidik dibangunkan dan diubahsuai bagi tujuan mendapatkan data kajian. Hasil kajian mendapati terdapat beberapa faktor demografi tertentu yang signifikan dalam meramal faktor sikap kepenggunaan komputer, literasi komputer, fasiliti komputer dan akses teknologi. Faktor demografi yang berdasarkan diri pelajar politeknik yang signifikan dalam meramal faktor sikap kepenggunaan komputer ialah kaum (melayu dan india), aliran pendidikan menengah (teknik), taraf akademik (STPM/Matrik), bidang pengajian (teknologi maklumat dan perdagangan) dan tahun pengajian (tahun pertama). Manakala faktor demografi yang berdasarkan diri pelajar politeknik yang signifikan dalam meramal faktor literasi komputer ialah kaum (india), aliran pendidikan menengah (vokasional), taraf akademik (SPM/SPMV), bidang pengajian (teknologi maklumat, pelancongan dan hospitaliti serta kejuruteraan) dan tahun pengajian (tahun pertama, kedua dan ketiga). Faktor demografi yang berdasarkan politeknik, iaitu jumlah enrolmen pelajar (jumlah pelajar kurang dari 1000 orang dan jumlah pelajar antara 3000 hingga 4000) adalah signifikan dalam meramal faktor fasiliti komputer dan akses teknologi. Diharapkan kajian ini akan dapat memberikan penerangan yang jelas tentang pengaruh demografi yang perlu dipertimbangkan agar perlaksanaan pendekatan e-pembelajaran dapat mencapai tujuan yang sebenarnya. Ini adalah bersesuaian dengan dasar kerajaan yang mengharapkan pendekatan ini dapat diperkasakan sehingga ke tahap global.
