Abstract

In Malaysia, higher education institutions (HEIs) have made significant efforts to integrate micro-credentials into their educational systems. However, the status of micro-credentials among these institutions remains ambiguous. Furthermore, there is a few research on university leaders in Malaysia. As a result, a study was conducted to investigate the preparedness of university leaders in implementing micro-credentials within HEIs. This research aimed to unveil the interconnected relationship among key stakeholders and emphasize the necessity for university leaders to reevaluate their roles and perspectives within their respective institutions. The current study used a qualitative approach via a case study method involving five informants from university leaders in public HEIs in Peninsular Malaysia. For data collection and analysis, this study used focus group discussion and thematic analysis respectively. The data analysis led to the development of the major themes that emerged from findings: i) the conceptualization of micro-credentials; ii) human capitals; iii) infrastructures; iv) accreditation; and v) accountability, all of which are referred to as challenges faced by university leaders. The current study hopes that the top university leaders are able to demonstrate clear vision and unwavering commitment that can contribute to the successful integration of micro-credentials within the HEI landscape.

Abstract

This study examines the growing imbalance between the availability and demand for medical resources, rising healthcare costs, and the critical role of accessible health information in disease prevention and public health. The rapid advancement of information technology has established the Internet as a primary source of health information, leading to an overload that surpasses users' processing capacity and causes significant cognitive and emotional challenges. This phenomenon profoundly affects users' health information behavior and decision-making, particularly in self-health management. To address these challenges, eHealth literacy must incorporate an understanding of users' information behavior. This research analyzed the literature on eHealth literacy through a systematic review, identifying key components and categorizing them using Squiers' method. The findings reveal that current definitions fail to address the variability in online health information quality and lack a comprehensive model for understanding information behavior in an overloaded environment. As a solution, this study proposes a new definition of eHealth literacy: the capacity to efficiently search for, access, evaluate, and apply relevant information based on physiological, emotional, and cognitive needs when using electronic health resources. This new definition emphasizes discernment, proactive engagement, personalized use, and practical application of information in health management. The Information Behavior Model of eHealth Literacy (IBeHL) highlights eHealth literacy's multifaceted and dynamic nature, influenced by environmental factors, and recognizes both active information seeking and passive information exposure. Future research should focus on refining this model and exploring its potential to enhance health information behavior and decision-making.
