| description | The development of a country closely relates to
how its national education system is enhanced to address
current challenges. Despite an increasing interest in
improving the quality of academic-oriented education in
Malaysia, research on enhancing the learning quality of
Technical and Vocational Education (TVET) remains
lacking. Surveying the involvement of TVET students in
Student-Centered Learning (SCL), this quantitative study
identifies the level of students’ learning motivation and some
contributing factors to their involvement in SCL activities.
The methodology of the study was a quantitative survey
design using questionnaires. Respondents were students of
Diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology at Institut
Kemahiran MARA (IKM) and Kolej Kemahiran Tinggi
MARA (KKTM). A total of 296 responses were received
and data analysis was performed using descriptive analysis
and inferential statistics. In this study, students participated
and were highly motivated while working and learning in an
SCL environment. There is a strong positive relationship
between students’ participation or involvement factors and
students’ motivation. It can be concluded that the
implementation of SCL among TVET students requires
support from parents and classmates. Therefore, the study
provides some recommendations on how to improve the
quality of TVET graduates by strengthening these
involvement and motivational factors. |
