Abstract

Public college libraries are crucial in developing a nation's human resources. This study compares academic librarians' performance, competence, and work design in Indonesia and Malaysia. Utilizing purposive sampling, the study included 380 academic librarians from both countries. The findings indicated no significant difference in the performance of college librarians between Indonesia and Malaysia. Similarly, no significant difference was found in the competency levels of librarians in the two countries. Regarding work design, no difference was observed in task characteristics, as indicated by a p-value above 0.05. However, significant differences were identified in the knowledge characteristics of work design, with a p-value below 0.05. A significant difference was confirmed by t-test analysis, where the t-value (4.944) exceeded the critical value (1.960) at α = 0.05. These results highlight similarities and distinctions in the professional roles and capabilities of academic librarians in Indonesia and Malaysia, offering insights for potential improvements in library management and human resource development in these regions.

Abstract

In the ever-expanding landscape of online education, the mental well-being of online distant learners has emerged as a critical concern. This study delves into the complex interplay between information overload, stress, anxiety, and depression among online distant learners in Malaysian universities. Using a survey research method and utilizing perceptual measures, we explored the psychological states of online distant learners in Malaysia. Based on the analysis of 384 responses, the results showed that online distant learners did not report experiencing information overload, stress, anxiety, or depression. Despite this absence, the study identified significant positive associations between information overload and stress, information overload and anxiety, as well as between stress and anxiety, and anxiety and depression. The implications of this study resonate profoundly in the realm of online education policy-making and implementation.

Abstract

Background of the study: In today's digitally saturated world, individuals face cognitive overload due to the vast influx of information, including misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation. Purpose: This study investigates the relationships between perceived experiences of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation, and their impact on information overload among Malaysian students. Method: Data were collected from 352 Malaysian students using a survey method and analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Participants reported their perceptions of misinformation, disinformation, malinformation experiences, and information overload on a Likert scale. Findings: Results indicate that students experience moderate levels of misinformation, disinformation, and information overload, while malinformation was less prominent. Nevertheless, significant positive relationships were found between perceived misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation experiences, and information overload, suggesting that students encountering higher levels of these information types are more likely to experience cognitive overload. Conclusion: This study underscores the challenges students face in processing vast amounts of information. It contributes to the theoretical understanding of how misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation contribute to information overload and emphasizes the need for promoting information literacy and critical thinking to mitigate these effects.

Abstract

This study investigates the readiness of Malaysian libraries to embrace Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, focusing on six key dimensions: infrastructure, technical skills, management support, policy and regulations, funding, and training. Utilizing a quantitative research approach, an online survey was conducted to collect data from library heads, providing insights into their preparedness for AI adoption. The survey instrument, developed based on preliminary interviews with librarians and refined through expert feedback and pilot testing, achieved good internal consistency. Findings reveal that while libraries exhibit moderate readiness in terms of internet infrastructure and management support, significant challenges remain in financial planning and policy and regulation formulation for AI integration. These challenges highlight critical areas that need addressing for successful AI adoption. The study provides valuable insights for library administrators and policymakers, emphasizing the need for comprehensive strategies to enhance AI readiness. The contributions of this study are threefold. Theoretically, it expands the understanding of AI readiness in the library sector, offering a validated framework for future research. Empirically, it fills a gap by providing data-driven insights into the current state of AI readiness among Malaysian libraries. Practically, it offers actionable recommendations to improve financial planning and policy development, essential for effective AI integration.

Abstract

The rapid evolution of digital technologies has caused dramatic changes in various areas, including education. Metaverse has become a very popular topic recently, many schools and university announce the development of metaverse, but until now there is no clear implementation of the idea and some schools cancelled to continue the implementation. One of the reasons behind it because of the lack of preparedness, reluctant from teachers, and there is no initial investigation about how the teachers will accept this technology. Several factors may influence the intention of the teachers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that affect high school teachers’ intentions to use metaverse technology. By doing so, the institution can prepare for the real implementation. This study employs quantitative methods and survey techniques by developing a well-structured questionnaire from the theoretical framework. A total of 334 responses were collected and analyzed using SmartPLS software. The findings reveal that 14 hypotheses out of 18 hypotheses were significant and four others were not significant. Social influence (SI), performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), and facilitating condition (FC) positively influence teachers’ behavioral intention (BI) to use metaverse applications. On the flip side, personal innovativeness (PI) does not significantly impact performance and EE. Trialability (TR) and corporeity (CR) also do not influence EE. However, hedonic motivation (HM), compatibility (CO), TR, interactivity (IN), and persistence are significant factors for performance and EE.

Abstract

This research's primary objective is to investigate the educational potential by investigating the metaverse website, emphasizing from users' perspectives. It is critical to examine the functionality to identify any potential faults in the learning experience because of the complexities of metaverse apps, which include 3D virtual environments and complex interactions. This study uses heuristic evaluation, which is a useful method for analyzing application success by utilizing well-established design principles and best practices in user interface and user experience design. To conduct this study, a panel of five experts, each with outstanding competence in the topic, was assembled to test the metaverse website in an educational setting. The evaluation was built on the ten heuristic evaluation standards, which served as a solid framework for measuring its usability and functionality. According to the findings of this examination, the average severity number of heuristic issues is one. This result indicates that the website is under "cosmetic problems only." While this implies that specific areas need to be addressed to improve overall quality, it also means that these difficulties do not take precedence over other vital ones. As a result, the website has significant promise as a metaverse instructional platform, and changes can be made to further improve its efficiency.
