Learning Flexibility and Environmental Changes with the Advent of Online Learning during COVID-19 Pandemic
Keywords:
Environment, Learning Flexibility, Online Learning, COVID-19Abstract
The vital purpose of this study is to identify whether learning flexibility and environment will influence
undergraduate students’ online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia. It is important
to point out the determinants that will influence online learning that needs to be faced despite
experiencing this world health crisis. The high level of online learning among students will also improve
the performance of educational institutions which need to be competitive with other competitors in the
sector. In addition, this study also aims to measure whether gender has a significant difference in
undergraduates’ online learning. Thus, survey questions from previous studies were adopted and
customised to collect data. A sample of 129 undergraduate students from one UiTM branch campus
who have experienced online learning in the previous semester in the year 2021. The results of this
study indicate that there are significant relationships between learning flexibility, environment and
online learning. The findings also reveal that the level of online learning among undergraduate students
is moderate. Moreover, it is confirmed that gender has a significant difference in online learning
outcomes among students. For future research, the use of more quizzes that can stimulate understanding
of learning delivered online needs to be emphasized by knowledge communicators in this revolution of
the learning process.
