The current study aims to first measure the impact of demographic variables (gender, age, and education level) and non-demographic variables (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and technological factor) on e-learning satisfaction among students from a higher education institution in Malaysia, and to construct a student satisfaction prediction model subsequently. A structured questionnaire survey was administered to a total of 344 respondents and the statistical analysis of the Chi-Square test and Multiple Regressions was performed. The result of the study reveals that the satisfaction of students on e-learning experience during the pandemic is significantly correlated to gender. The study further shows that three dominant variables, namely perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and technological factors are significant factors that influence the satisfaction level of student's learning in the e-learning environment. The findings of the study will be beneficial to policymakers to identify the level of student satisfaction on e-learning education during the COVID-19 pandemic and may provide evidence-based data to improve the learning performance of students.","PeriodicalId":175901,"journal":{"name":"Social and Management Research Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131238359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study emphasized on teachers’ views on cooperative learning approach to support their students’ teaching and learning in classroom. The study uses the qualitative approach involving 10 academic staff of a local high school located at Subang Jaya, Selangor by using semi structured interview method. The findings showed positive perceptions and interest towards the cooperative learning approach in teaching and learning in secondary schools. There were many advantages of cooperative learning in teaching and learning both for staff and students. Nonetheless, this study founded time constraints, nature of the subject, students’ capabilities, monitoring student learning, and learning assessments to be the barriers which influence teachers’ disengagement with this student-centered approach. To summarize, data from this study warranted the authors to recommend educator to shift their teaching and learning from teacher-centered toward student-centered approach. Educators should also adopt the cooperative learning approach in classroom as it may help students to better link between the concepts and real world. Therefore, educators should invest considerable time to learn and practice this concept and plan their teaching and learning around their learners.","PeriodicalId":175901,"journal":{"name":"Social and Management Research Journal","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124496995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of disruptive technology changes the students' information seeking behaviour as millennial students nowadays depend on the Internet too much to locate the information for their academic purposes. Studies also found that millennial students have difficulty in learning and were marked by uncertainty because they are facing information overload, inability to obtain and evaluate the information. Identifying and recognising appropriate information seeking processes is crucial in determining the effectiveness of the information-seeking behaviour and the quality of the information gathered in order to support their learning process and experience. Therefore, this paper focuses on the behaviour applied by these students to fulfil demands of academic compliance especially in efforts to seek research-based information. About 328 students took part in this online survey. Findings of this research use quantitative descriptive analysis. From the findings, respondents claim that they are familiar with information seeking processes with mean value is 3.63, however 30.5% respondents claim they still lacking in information seeking skills. This research provides a valuable insight regarding the information seeking behaviour of millennial students and make a recommendation that role of modern libraries should facilitated this demand by ensuring that services such as online library resources are accessible and set-up for use by the millennial students.","PeriodicalId":175901,"journal":{"name":"Social and Management Research Journal","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125708363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially when the learners are all bilinguals or multilinguals and they have to switch back and forth between their mother tongue and a second or foreign language. This paper is driven by the three objectives. First, the study investigates the situations which trigger code-switching in EFL classes in Balkh and Kandahar Universities of Afghanistan. Secondly, it investigates the perception of Afghan EFL lecturers in these universities towards code-switching. Third, to find out how the EFL lecturers use code-switching as an effective strategy while teaching English in their classes. In this study, the qualitative research approach was used to collect data from four Afghan English language lecturers of the two universities via the interview method. The results of this study indicate that these Afghan EFL lecturers have a positive perception regarding code-switching and they are using it in certain situations which facilitate their teaching and students’ learning of the content, however they also hold negative perception towards switching while teaching. The findings also show that the lecturers use code-switching in different situations such as when dealing with cultural issues that tend to be difficult to explain only in the target language, explaining grammar and new vocabulary, giving clear instructions, and instructing English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classes.","PeriodicalId":175901,"journal":{"name":"Social and Management Research Journal","volume":"223 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116031689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, students tend to have a negative attitude towards physics presumably because they lack interest in the subject and the syllabus itself. This research is carried out to study the learning attitude in physics and challenges towards learning force and motion among Form Four students in Klang. A total of 200 secondary schools students who are taking physics subject from six schools participated in the study. A descriptive research design was employed using survey method to analyse the students’ attitude towards learning physics. The findings on the learning attitudes test showed majority of the students have favourable attitudes in learning physics. However, majority of students hold poor score in physics test, probably due to low science grade obtained by students in ‘Penilaian Pentaksiran Tingkatan 3’ (PT3). Another finding from the data revealed that the nature of topic was found to be the most predominance challenge in learning force and motion among the participants. The findings are beneficial as they can serve as a stepping stone in overcoming the underlying sources of difficulty that impede quality learning of physics. More in depth study is needed to look into this matter with more number of participants including teachers who are teaching physics.","PeriodicalId":175901,"journal":{"name":"Social and Management Research Journal","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125955317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
