Abstract

The educational challenges faced by the country are a result of the globalization process, especially in the technical and vocational fields. Teachers need to move according to the flow of technology in the teaching and learning process in the classroom. This study aims to identify the dominant factors in the use of digital learning among secondary school TVET teachers in Selangor. This study also identified the relationship between the readiness, knowledge and attitude of TVET teachers as an independent variable with the use of digital learning as a dependent variable. This quantitative survey study involved 202 TVET teachers as the study sample. The quantitative study of this survey uses a set of questionnaires distributed to a sample of selected day secondary schools in the field of Technical and Vocational Education (TVET). Descriptive data was analyzed using SPSS software version 22.0. The findings of the study show that there is a significant relationship between the variables of readiness (r = 0.672, p=0.001, p<0.05), knowledge, (r = 0.744, sig = 0.001, p<0.05) and the attitude of TVET teachers (r = 0.422, sig = 0.001, p<0.05) with digital learning. Finally, the knowledge variable is a predictor factor that accounts for 64% of the variance in digital learning. In conclusion, all TVET teachers should improve their knowledge, readiness and be more positive towards changes in new era learning towards digital learning that is more open and will be used maximally in the future.
