Abstract

This paper explores the reliability of an instrument to evaluate digital competencies domain and elements for polytechnics’ information technology (IT) graduates in Malaysia towards future industrial revolution using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). This study thereby obtained 146 items from the previous phase (industries experts’ interview) which was later developed according to the study’s objectives. Experts validated the items, and after that, a pilot study was executed with 102 randomly chosen Polytechnics’ IT lecturers from four Malaysian Polytechnics as the respondents for this study. Four domains had been decided which are Personal Effective Competencies, Functional Competencies, Essential Competencies, and Industrial Revolution 4.0 (4IR) Competencies. Elements for each domain were created using the EFA, in which internal reliability was achieved for all construct dimensions. There were 15 elements gained through EFA for those four domains.
探索马来西亚信息技术毕业生的数字能力领域和要素
本文使用探索性因素分析(EFA),探讨了评估马来西亚理工学院信息技术(IT)毕业生在未来工业革命中数字能力领域和要素的工具的可靠性。因此,本研究从上一阶段(行业专家访谈)中获得了146个项目,该阶段后来根据研究目标制定。专家们对这些项目进行了验证,之后,对来自四所马来西亚理工学院的102名理工学院IT讲师进行了试点研究。已经确定了四个领域,即个人有效能力、职能能力、基本能力和工业革命4.0(4IR)能力。每个领域的元素都是使用EFA创建的,其中实现了所有结构维度的内部可靠性。这四个领域通过全民教育获得了15个要素。
