Using m-Learning is in
line with the needs of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. It is one of the
systematic steps towards optimizing the teaching and learning (T&L) process
to be more exciting, fun and interactive. Through m-Learning, students can
follow the T&L process anytime and anywhere. Thus, a study on m-Learning
was conducted to assess the level of awareness, readiness and acceptance of
students from the Department of Commerce’s, Polytechnic of Sultan Abdul Halim
Mu’adzam Shah (POLIMAS). This study used an open-ended and close-ended
questions questionnaire. Respondents were 120 students in the second-semester
who were selected through a purposive sampling. The aim was to acquire their
opinion on m-Learning. Questionnaires were distributed to respondents using
Google Forms application and respondents answered them by using their mobile
devices. The URL link to Google Form was shared through the students’ WhatsApp
groups and monitored using a Student Information Registration System name-list.
The questionnaires were analyzed using the SPSS software version 23.0.
Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage and mean were used in the
analysis to evaluate the students’ feedback about m-Learning. The analysis of
the findings show that the level of awareness, readiness and acceptance of
POLIMAS students were at a moderate level towards m-Learning as a medium of
T&L. This is because the use of m-Learning is still in an infancy stage in
POLIMAS. Hence, the use of m-Learning should be enhanced and widely publicized
at all levels within higher education in Malaysia.
