Instead, they can exchange written or electronic materials asynchronously (at times of their choice) or synchronously (in real-time) using technology. A hybrid or blended course or program combines online learning with on-site attendance for any reason, including completing exams. Since then, colleges have used remote learning in conjunction with modern information technology to expand their market outside their immediate surroundings. Therefore, this study was performed to measure student adoption of digital platforms for distance education among university students in Malaysia. This study uses primary data collection with self-administered questionnaire development. The sample size is 100 students which represents the population of students that registered for distance education programs. The underpinning theory for this study is the Information System Success Model (ISSM). There are three independent variables: information quality, system quality, and service quality. According to the findings, information quality, system quality, and service quality, all have a positive and substantial impact on the intention to adopt digital platforms for distance education. This work will benefit academics, decision-makers, and system designers by providing useful implications for generating appropriate methods and building successful and practical ways to develop the online learning system of distance education.","PeriodicalId":426882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Education and Society","volume":"566 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139020853","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}

Specifically, the study identified the type of UA that dominates in the sample group studied. This survey involved 63 students from GENIUS@Pintar Negara College, UKM answering the UA instrument built by the researcher. The value of the UA instrument's reliability correlation coefficient for all 60 items is ᾳ=0.87. Data were analyzed descriptively using SPSS software and ANNOVA inferential statistics to answer the research questions. The results show that the overall value of low-performing students at Kolej GENIUS@Pintar Negara is moderate (mean = 3.22, SP = 0.126). From the six types of UA, it was found that the category of low-performing intelligent students, Type 6, Autonomous UA Students, obtained the highest mean, followed by Type 3, Underground UA, and Type 5, Twice-Multiple Exceptional. There is no significant difference among UA students regarding gender, race, and level. The findings of this study give implications about the importance of providing a comprehensive intervention program for gifted UA students by involving several roles including UA students, academic management, counselling management, and parents to empower the development of gifted UA students' talents to an optimal level.","PeriodicalId":426882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Education and Society","volume":"411 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138991142","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}
{"title":"Perspectives of Students at Institutions of Higher Education Toward Open Distance Learning","authors":"","doi":"10.55057/ijares.2023.5.4.4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.55057/ijares.2023.5.4.4","url":null,"abstract":"Open and Distance Learning (ODL) is a way of learning remotely without being in regular face-to-face contact with an instructor in the classroom. Students learn the content using instructional materials that are uploaded on online platforms. Despite the convenience of the learning method, there is a need to assess students' awareness and intention to use these platforms. This paper evaluates whether perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEU), and perceived self-efficacy (PSE) can influence students enrolled at an institution of higher education (IHE) to choose open distance learning (ODL). The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has been identified to support the research framework of this study. A research framework was proposed and three hypotheses were developed. Data were obtained from 125 respondents enrolled in the ODL Program using convenient sampling. Data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical program on descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and regression. The results revealed that PU and PSE have direct relationships with the behavioral intention to choose ODL. Therefore, PU and PSE influenced the students to choose ODL. Meanwhile, PEU has no direct relationship with behavioral intention to choose ODL. Therefore, PEU cannot attract the interest and attention to influence the students to use ODL. The study helped uncover a significant understanding of students’ acceptance of ODL for IHEs to develop further ODL programs related to Islamic Finance and Banking courses under Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC). Also, ODL provides opportunities for interactions and communications between students and lecturers through information and communication technology (ICT) and multimedia. This study provides further empirical support that behavioral intention is able to be influenced to choose ODL.","PeriodicalId":426882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Education and Society","volume":"71 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139026395","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 thesis investigates the role of open online psychological courses in addressing the mental health challenges confronted by college students. Using the most recent National Mental Health Development Report (2021-2022) by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which emphasises a high prevalence of depression among this demographic, this study investigates the effect of such courses on the mental health of students. The research objectives include an examination of the utilisation patterns of open online psychological courses, an evaluation of the mental health outcomes associated with these courses, and an investigation of the barriers preventing student participation. It also investigates how educational institutions address the mental health requirements of their students in view of the persistent psychological effects of the pandemic. The majority of college students find open online psychological courses beneficial for mental health enhancement. However, significant obstacles such as schedule constraints, financial constraints, and course quality concerns remain. In addition, the study highlights the potential for these courses to incorporate mental health support into the larger educational curriculum. This research has significant implications for policymakers, educational institutions, and mental health professionals, as it provides insights into strategies for enhancing college students' mental health support and education. By resolving these challenges and leveraging the benefits of open online courses, institutions can nurture a more resilient and psychologically healthy student population.","PeriodicalId":426882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Education and Society","volume":"66 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139013004","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}
