The Level of Cybergogy Readiness Among Technical Students

Abstract

Cybergogy play an important role in TVET education learning. Cybergogy is a modernization educational technique based on the empowerment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) that is unconstrained by place, time, culture, or country. The global Covid-19 pandemic had large-scale institutional and behavioral ‘shock effects' in a variety of human activities, including schooling. The quick shift from traditional classroom to online teaching and learning has driven the application of Cybergogy out of the present educational process. The purpose of this research is to identify the level of Cybergogy readiness in terms of cognitive, social and emotive factors and the significant differences between the demographic factor among technical students. The design of this study was descriptive with a quantitative approach. A total of 54 technical students from Faculty of Technical and Vocational Education (FPTV) at University Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) were random cluster selected as samples. A set of modified questionnaires from past studies were used as research instruments. The finding indicates that technical students slightly to moderately ready for online learning. Female students have a higher level of preparation for online learning than male students. According to this study, junior students in year one are more prepared for online classes than senior students since they are more interested in learning online. Students in the BBC program are more equipped for online learning than those in the BBB and BBG programs. When compared to a student who learns in a traditional approach, academic achievement is not as poor because the majority of students have good CGP As. Furthermore, students who study at home have a modest level of Cybergogy readiness.
