Academic integrity, independent t-test, knowledge management, learning qualityAbstract
Learning quality refers to the full set of classroom interactions that influence student learning, including the ability of the instructor, the quality of instruction delivered by that instructor and other classroom-level factors. Learning quality is influenced by a variety of elements, including perception on academic integrity, attitudes on academic integrity and awareness on academic integrity. The purpose of this study was to discover the level of learning quality and whether there is a significant difference in learning quality between gender. The questionnaires were distributed by WhatsApp to 298 students from various programs at Universiti Teknologi MARA Kelantan, Kota Bharu campus. The sampling technique for this research is stratified random sampling and the data was analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 26. Results revealed that learning quality was high except for one item. The findings of independent t-test results showed a statistically significant mean difference in learning quality between gender. In conclusion, learning quality and knowledge management are related ideas that complement one another in helping higher education establishments cultivate a culture of excellence, creativity, and continual learning. Institutions may improve their ability to produce, disseminate, and use information for the benefit of their students by coordinating their efforts in these areas.
