Factors predicting the trend of using iTa'leem among lecturers in International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM)
description The adoption of Learning Management System (LMS) in Malaysia public higher learning institutions (HLIs) is already almost hundred percent. LMS platforms are held instrumental for online learning because embedded with integrated technologies that enable the flexibility of instruction beyond classroom. However, various studies found that usage behavior among educators towards LMS is still an issue. Many educators are still hesitating to utilize the LMS. Hence, more findings are needed to identify the motivational factors that may contribute to the behavior as well as to monitor the possible changing trends of the usage according to place and time. To respond to the above matter in the context of Malaysia public HLI, a cross-sectional survey was administered in August 2017 involving 165 lecturers from International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) in both campuses (Gombak and Kuantan). Respondents from twelve faculties were selected by using proportional stratified sampling method. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) (Davis, 1985) is used as the main framework and extended with facilitating conditions (FC) as an external variable. The findings show that the Cronbach Alpha value of each variable is between .80 – .97, some direct and indirect associations between the variables are supported, the differences in the trends of using iTa’LeEM (i.e.: IIUM institutional LMS) across different teaching fields have been identified, and the trend of low utilization is solely predicted by the lecturers’ perceived usefulness of the system. In overall, this study adds insight of how lecturers in Malaysia public HLIs view and act toward LMS. ****************************************************************************** Penggunaan Sistem Pengurusan Pembelajaran (LMS) di institusi pengajian tinggi awam (IPTA) di Malaysia telah hampir mencapai seratus peratus.

Walaubagaimanapun, pelbagai kajian menjumpai sikap kepenggunaan dikalangan pendidik terhadap LMS masih menjadi satu isu. Ramai pendidik masih teragak-agak untuk menggunakan LMS secara optimal. Oleh itu, lebih banyak dapatan diperlukan untuk mengenalpasti faktor-faktor motivasi yang mungkin menyumbang kepada sikap tersebut serta memantau kemungkinan terdapat perubahan pada tren penggunaan mengikut tempat dan masa. Untuk menanggapi perkara di atas dalam konteks IPTA di Malaysia, satu bancian rentas sempadan telah dijalankan pada Ogos 2017 melibatkan 165 pensyarah dari Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM) di kedua-dua kampus (Gombak dan Kuantan). Responden dari dua belas fakulti telah dipilih menggunakan kaedah pensampelan berstrata berkadar.

Dapatan-dapatan menunjukkan nilai Cronbach Alpha untuk setiap pemboleh ubah adalah diantara .80 - .97, beberapa kaitan secara terus dan tidak terus diantara pemboleh ubah disokong, perbezaan didalam tren penggunaan iTa’LeEM (iaitu LMS institusi di UIAM) merentasi bidang pengajaran yang berbeza telah dikenalpasti dan tren penggunaan yang rendah adalah semata-mata diramalkan oleh persepsi tentang kegunaan sistem tersebut. Secara keseluruhannya, kajian ini menambahkan beebrapa pandangan tentang cara pensyarah-pensyarah di IPTA di Malaysia melihat dan bertindak terhadap LMS.
