Students’ Knowledge of the Readiness to Use E-Learning

Abstract

E-learning has become a new norm in the world of education nowadays. Rapid development in educational technology leads to the improvement and simplification of traditional teaching and learning methods. Furthermore, today’s learners want relevant, mobile, and self-paced content. This need is fulfilled with the online learning platform, allowing students to learn at their comfort and pace. E-learning helps teachers in preparing, distributing, and evaluating the assignments given to students. Teachers and lecturers have now become the facilitator to their students in the learning process. This study was conducted to identify the level of knowledge on the readiness to adopt e-learning among form six students in the science stream at a form six college in Selangor. This study follows the quantitative research approach, and a questionnaire was used as the instrument to collect the data. 31 respondents were involved in this research. The findings show that the level of knowledge of the readiness to use e-learning among science students in Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Form Six College (KiSTARP) is high, with the mean score at 3.82. E-learning makes it easier for teachers to give students assignments, thus enabling teachers to monitor students’ presence and readiness to learn. This limitless technology allows the teaching and learning process to occur at any time and improves the two-way communication between teachers and students. It also helps create meaningful learning experiences, which will benefit both teachers and students.
