| Summary: | This paper aims to study the level of e-readiness among school leavers studying full-time. The higher
education in Malaysian is facing a changing the delivering trend due to the effects of globalization, and
the speed of change in the growth of communication. A book by Scott The Globalization of Higher
Education has highlighted the radical processes of globalisation as implicating higher education as the
creator, interpreter and sufferer of such trends (Scott, 1998). Over the years, there is an increasing
number of higher educational institutions have embraced e-learning, however, with a lesser number of
higher education providers in Malaysia particularly private education providers as well as colleges
provides e-learning to their learners. Why is it so? There are still doubts and hesitation on the e-approach
especially for young school leavers who undergo their studies full-time. There are various dimensions of
e-readiness have yet to be explored such as learner readiness, management readiness, personnel
readiness, content readiness, technical readiness, environmental readiness, cultural readiness and
financial readiness. We wish to study on young learners’ readiness on e-learning only for this paper. This
study will be conducted in various public and private higher education providers whereby its respondents
are young learners. The outcome of this study will be useful for education providers to draw and provide
suitable learning pedagogy to their learners as well as potential learners in order to engage in an effective
teaching and learning process to their learners. (Abstract by authors) |
