This study aims to explore students’ learning experiences using ChatGPT in a written assignment. It examines how students used ChatGPT to accomplish the assignment and their perceptions of the tool. This exploratory, qualitative study involved six architectural technology college students taking the Entrepreneurship course. It employed the focus group technique to collect data that were then analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings show that students, in accomplishing the assignment, used ChatGPT to generate ideas, provide explanations, perform translations and prompt critical thinking. Students also perceived ChatGPT as spurting their excitement and providing handy assistance in accomplishing the assignment. These findings provide evidence of how ChatGPT could enrich students' learning experiences and point to the need to further educate students in harnessing the full potential of this tool for learning purposes. There is also a need to impart AI literacy and academic integrity understanding to students for effective and ethical integration of this tool into their learning Description: Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are advancing rapidly and becoming more pervasive in many facets of our lives. One recent example is ChatGPT, a chatbot created by OpenAI with a conversational artificial intelligence interface. As one of the most sophisticated artificial intelligence applications, ChatGPT has garnered significant public attention worldwide (Tlili, 2023). ChatGPT generates textual responses highly reminiscent of human language in response to given prompts (Eke, 2023; Lo, 2023). It is a large language model capable of processing and generating human-like conversations. It uses advanced machine learning techniques, particularly a type of neural network called a transformer, to understand natural language and generate appropriate responses to user queries. As a language model, it has been trained on a massive amount of text data from the internet, enabling it to understand and respond to diverse topics and conversations (OpenAI, 2023). 2024-07-25T00:00:00Z https://repositori.mypolycc.edu.my/jspui/handle/123456789/7185 Title: Factors Contributing to Truancy among Community College Students in Sarawak: The Relationship between Predictors Authors: KANI ANAK LINYAW; Fayzatol Jamiyaah Abdull Rahim; Siti Aliza Ajis Tumi; Ying-Leh Ling; Suharyati Sulaiman Abstract: Truancy is becoming more of a concern. Students who miss classes and never attend college for no apparent cause. This study looked into the factors that contribute to truancy among Sarawak community college students. Random sampling was used to conduct quantitative and descriptive research with 131 students from one of Sarawak's Community Colleges. According to the research findings, factors contributing to truancy among students include a broken family, being forced to further their education in a college community, and misusing electronic media such as a cellphone, computer, and television. The study's findings indicate that institutions must implement more effective intervention measures to ensure that the truancy problem does not spread further. Among the intervention measures proposed are bettering lecturers' teaching quality and implementing more interactive counseling between lecturers and students Description: The vision set by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia for Community Colleges is to be the leader of an excellent TVET institution in line with Malaysia's growth as a developing country. TVET is full-time technical and vocational education and training, as well as lifelong learning, provided to people of all ages and backgrounds to prepare them for employment and contribute to the country's economic growth. In line with this desire, one of the Community College's missions is to provide widespread access to high-quality, well-recognized TVET programs. To achieve this mission, the challenge is to provide a high-quality TVET program that produces graduates who are well-rounded in terms of intellectual, behavioral, disciplinary, and technical skills 2021-10-21T00:00:00Z https://repositori.mypolycc.edu.my/jspui/handle/123456789/7164 Title: STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION AND THEIR COMMITMENT TO WORK IN TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY Authors: WINNE ANAK CHENGAI; Awangku Hassanal Bahar Pengiran Bagul Abstract: The tourism and hospitality sector has been recognised as one of the fastest and largest growing industries in the world, providing opportunities for job prospects, driving exports, and creating tremendous prosperity around the globe. The study aims to examine students’ perception and their commitment to work in tourism and hospitality field of work after graduation. Data were collected using a set of questionnaires. Non-probability sampling technique was used in selecting the 117 respondents from East Malaysia polytechnics who are majoring in tourism and hospitality programme with working experience in the sector. The data were analysed using the SPSS 25.0 and presented in frequency and percentages. The findings showed that the industry person congeniality has a significant medium relationship with a commitment to work in the tourism and hospitality industry. The study has some implication for industry person congeniality, promotion opportunities, managers and commitment to work in the tourism and hospitality field of work Description: The tourism and hospitality industry are the largest and fastest growing sector and provides job opportunities around the world. In 2017, the tourism and hospitality industry made a significant contribution of 3.1 per cent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and provided 6 million jobs in the industry. It generated US$ 7.6 trillion (10.2%) of global GDP and 292 mil-lion jobs in year 2016 (World Travel and Tourism Council, 2018). Malaysia tourism and hospitality industry have become the third-biggest contributor to the Malaysia economy, behinds the manufacturing and agriculture industry. Malaysia was the second most visited country in Southeast Asia, the 12th the most visited destinations in the world by the year 2017 (World Travel and Tourism Council, 2018). The primary tourism and hospitality industry in Malaysia consists of retail trade, food and beverages serving services, accommodation, country-specific tourism characteristics, and sport and recreation. 2021-11-25T00:00:00Z https://repositori.mypolycc.edu.my/jspui/handle/123456789/7163 Title: Online Classroom: Polytechnic Students’ Perceptions Authors: WINNE ANAK CHENGAI, Johan Severinus Tati Abstract: The spread of the Covid 19 pandemic has affected various sectors. Education is one of the hard-hit sectors. Nevertheless, teaching and learning have not stopped but is now taking online classroom as an alternative form. The Malaysian government has urged all the learning institutions, including polytechnic, to implement online teaching. Students have attended the online classrooms since implementing the first Movement Control Order (MCO 0.1) in 2020. This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of the online classroom. Data collected using a set of questionnaires and non-probability sampling techniques was used to select the students from Polytechnic Kota Kinabalu (PKK) and Polytechnic Metro Betong Sarawak (PMBS) to explore the relationships between perceiving the use, perceived usefulness and user’s satisfaction regarding online classroom.

Students were very satisfied with the online classroom during the covid 19 pandemic. Description: The Corona disease 2019 (COVID19) was first identified in the Wuhan Province of the People’s Republic of China in December 2019. By March 2020, the World Health Organization announced that this disease had gone from an epidemic to a pandemic, with close to 200,000 cases in 146 countries and about 6,500 deaths. The government immediately reacted by putting in place some preventive measures. The other actions were immediate closure of all establishments and the suspension of face-to-face teaching. Furthermore, the Minister recommended that all facets of digital education (digital work environments, virtual clasclassroomsOCs to name just these) and teleworking be implemented immediately and obligatorily in all institutions of higher learning in Malaysia. 2021-12-21T00:00:00Z
