| Summary: | The objective of this study is to examine the relationships between Information Seeking
Behaviour (ISB) and engagement of students in Open University Malaysia Graduate
Centre (OUM GC). A literature review was undertaken to develop the instrument.
Face-to-face data collection method was adopted. A total of 89 respondents from
convenient sampling was analysed to answer the research hypotheses. A factor analysis
was performed on the independent variable to manage the items and discover new
constructs as a way to contribute to the area of study. The Kaiser Meyer Olkin figure
is reported to be 0.77, indicating validity of the model. Cronbach Alpha for all variables
are reported to be above 0.70, indicating reliability. There is a relationship between
information seeking behaviour and student engagement as designated in the regression
model. This paper will also give more information to ODL universities which can help
them in their decision making process and ability to allocate resources. (Abstract by authors) |
