Abstract
New Cluster of Readiness Affecting Perceived Usefulness of Open Distance Learning Readiness During Cov?d-19 Outbreak
Highlights
The unexpected implementation of open distance learning (ODL) during the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak in 2020 presented a new angle in the extension of understanding what would the best practice for ODL situations. Cigdem (2016) reported that implementations of ODL were different from the normal approved online learning courses
Previous studies on online distance learning have emphasized on students’ readiness towards perceived usefulness of ODL implementation in measuring the level of computer readiness, self-directed learning readiness and motivational of learning readiness but there seemed to be a knowledge gap, and little is known about technological readiness, psychological readiness and sociological readiness based on ODL implementations
There is a decrease level in terms of student readiness towards Open Distance Learning (ODL) and this issue seemed to be the frequent problems observed, especially during the Covid-19 outbreak
Summary
The unexpected implementation of open distance learning (ODL) during the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak in 2020 presented a new angle in the extension of understanding what would the best practice for ODL situations. Cigdem (2016) reported that implementations of ODL were different from the normal approved online learning courses. Cigdem (2016) reported that implementations of ODL were different from the normal approved online learning courses. This means that the International Journal of Academic Research in Progressive Education and Development level of readiness and perceived usefulness of ODL implementation are different from the academic courses which implement online learning methods. To understand this sudden scenario, this study was conducted to investigate UiTMCM students’ level of readiness and perceived usefulness towards ODL implementation especially during Covid-19 situations. Universiti Teknologi MARA, Melaka Branch, Malaysia (known as UiTMCM) which had just started its new academic session in February 2020 was affected by the nation’s lockdown through the implementations of the MCO in March 2020 which was taken to halt the increasing statistics of positive Covid-19 carriers from infecting the public
