Effects of Perceived Quality on TVET Students’ Continuance Intention to use Video Conferencing Technology
This study investigates the continuance intention to use video conferencing technology (VCT) among Malaysian TVET students, a group often overlooked due to their hands-on learning needs. Using survey data from 114 TVET students and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), the study found that perceived quality significantly influenced expectation confirmation and satisfaction. However, perceived usefulness did not impact satisfaction or continuance intention, diverging from traditional models. The findings suggest that factors like learning experience quality and VCT's alignment with practical training are more critical. This research extends the Expectation Confirmation Model (ECM) by offering new insights into educational technology in vocational contexts
Developing Healthcare and Safety (HCS) Framework to Reduce Mortality in Childcare Centres
Child mortality in Malaysian childcare centres remains a concern due to limited caregiver training and inadequate safety practices.
