ABSTRACT

This study aim is to examine and evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on education systems, which is the implementation of online learning (OL) during Movement Control Order (MCO) to higher learning education institution in Malaysia. A questionnaire was developed, and a random sampling of data was performed. Three hundred and fifty-two samples were collected using the Smart PLS-Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique to analyze the results. The study shows that acceptance, usability, satisfaction, and technical skills play a pivotal role in inspiring online learning effectiveness for the institution of higher education. Such consideration allows the entire higher education institution in Malaysia to recognize the importance of online learning in education in a consistent way. All the factors influence the sustained positive efficacy except acceptance of online learning. The present study covers only the institutions of higher learning. Entire elementary and secondary school students also participate in online learning, so this group can also be included for further studies. The research would continue to develop the online learning environment, and the study of higher education organizations is gradually embracing learning as an alternative to conventional classroom learning for current students and as a means to extend its scope to new students. Adopting online learning and its technologies requires significant investment in the staff, resources, energy, and space that administrators and those in educational leadership need to be justifiable. Just a few have explored the effect of COVID-19 on the education system and how online learning are conducted during MCO and using Smart PLS is a novel concept and it is a research of its kind from first hand.
