A Study of Uniten Jakoa Student: Awareness, Readiness, Usage of Cloud Computing

Abstract

Information Communication Technology (ICT) should be able to simplify and help students by providing continuous education during the pandemic. However, due to the limited ICT infrastructure and different cultural background of the Indigenous people, the usage of ICT was unable to be utilised in full capacity.Peninsular Malaysia is home to the indigenous Orang Asli community, the majority of whom continue to live a traditional lifestyle. The Orang Asli's living conditions have been improved through a number of initiatives by the Malaysian government. JAKOA, for instance, has started a number of social development initiatives aimed at improving the well-being of the Orang Asli community. Thus, this study aims to identify the factors affecting the behavior and usage intention towards technology among Indigenous students in Intellectual Center Aboriginal Students or Pusat Intelek Pelajar Orang Asli (PIPOA). We discovered that all hypotheses are supported positively and significantly by using primary data and all information obtained through the distribution of questionnaires using Google form to the targeted respondents. This indicates that the UTAUT constructs contribute to the intention to use technology among the sample of this study. This study shed light to the new education era, providing assurance to equal education quality and lifelong learning opportunities for young generation of the Indigenous community.
