| description | The purpose of this study is to describe the use of personality traits dimensions to
predict skills. This paper focuses on the social competency dimension. The study also
explored some basic questions about why learners learn, what are their main barriers
and what are the expected rewards. Two intake groups were used in this study: 1041
September 2017 learners and 278 May 2016 intake students. May 2016 intake students
are in their 4th semester during September 2017. An online instrument was developed
based on literatures. The findings indicated that the top reasons for students to study
were to obtain higher qualification (39.1%), personal growth (25.5%) and career
advancement (23.3%). The findings also confirmed that work and family situation is
the main barrier in adult students learning. All dimensions which include the big five
personality traits, self-efficacy, self-directedness, attitude towards education and
motivation towards achievement show significant correlation to the social competency. (Abstract by authors) |
