Abstract

Malaysia’s higher education institutions face both challenges and opportunities arising from cultural diversity. The Appreciation of Ethics and Civilization, a compulsory university course, was introduced to promote tolerance and a shared national identity; however, its impact on social cohesion is often limited by weak integration with students’ everyday experiences. This study examines the role of the Appreciation of Ethics and Civilization course in fostering social cohesion among Malaysian university students. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyses primary data comprising course syllabus, students’ assignments, and course feedback. The role of Appreciation of Ethics and Civilization is examined through three interrelated dimensions: knowledge acquisition of ethics and civilization, interracial bonding through learning activities, and student acceptance of the course. Findings show that these dimensions mutually reinforce one another, enhancing students’ appreciation of cultural diversity and national unity. The study highlights Appreciation of Ethics and Civilisation's potential as a catalyst for social cohesion, offering practical implications for promoting harmony in Malaysia’s plural society. The study also demonstrates to worldwide communities how ethics education when aligned with relational and experiential learning can promote social cohesion in multicultural societies.

Abstract

In an increasingly digitalised higher education landscape, pedagogical innovation is essential to sustain student engagement and learning effectiveness. This study examines the integration of generative artificial intelligence, specifically ChatGPT, into the teaching of a core university course, Ethics and Civilization (MPU3132), through interactive quizzes conducted via the Kahoot platform. The study explores how ChatGPT-supported quiz activities enhance student engagement, interaction, and higher-order thinking in ethics-related learning contexts. Findings indicate that the incorporation of ChatGPT significantly improves student participation, conceptual understanding of ethical and civilisational issues, and knowledge retention. The use of gamified quizzes further fosters intrinsic motivation and healthy competition, contributing to an active and student-centred learning environment. Importantly, this study contributes to the growing body of literature on AI-assisted pedagogy by demonstrating how generative AI can be meaningfully embedded within formative assessment practices to support sustainable education. The proposed approach offers a scalable and adaptable instructional model for ethics and humanities courses, aligning with global educational sustainability goals and the evolving demands of digital learning ecosystems.
