Learning Management System Acceptance Factors for Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) Institutions

Abstract

Higher education institutions use Learning Management System (LMS) to support and enhance the teaching and learning process. However, teaching and learning activities at Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions differ from non-TVET institutions, so the LMS is believed to be underutilized. This paper aims to investigate why LMS use in TVET is different from the non-TVET institutions. Additionally, this paper seeks to discover important factors that can help improve the acceptance of LMS at TVET institutions. Important factors are identified from a literature review study involving articles related to LMS and TVET published between 2019 and 2022. Seven domain experts in LMS at TVET institutions were interviewed for their opinions on the initial list of factors and performed the content validity assessment. Based on Lawshe’s content validity ratio, nine factors with 51 items have been identified. These nine factors are System Quality, Service Quality, Information Quality, Motivation, Self-Discipline, Practical Training, Intention to Use, User Satisfaction and Actual Use. This study also reveals new factors that can increase the acceptance of LMS in teaching and learning in TVET institutions. Findings can assist researchers, developers, and LMS stakeholders in understanding the use of LMS at TVET institutions to ensure online TVET teaching and learning effectiveness.

Development, Content Validation and Pilot Study Feasibility of Heartfulness Meditation and Yoga Protocol for Anxiety

“…However, all practices (low and moderate) were xed for the nal protocol as CVR was ≥ 0.29 (Ahmad et al, 2023). Based on these recommendations, the nal practices included in the Heartfulness Meditation and Yoga Protocol for low and moderate anxiety are shown in (Table 2) and (Table 3) respectively.…”

A needs analysis on the utilization of learning management systems as blended learning media in elementary school

“…An integrated learning management system (LMS) is required to support the transition to online learning and enable learning management. Ahmad et al (2023) stated that LMS provides more constructivist-based instruction, focuses on flexible, learner-defined goals and encourages collaborative learning inside and outside of the school in order to expand the learning environment to the home and involve parents more completely. Moreover, it better addresses personalized assessment and truly becomes systemic.…”

“…The LMS currently being developed has many potentials such as being easy to use, having renewable educational content, being easy to use for assessment, not time-consuming and costly and being interactive as well as communicative (Ahmad et al, 2023;Furqon et al, 2023). Teachers mention that LMS helps teachers during distance learning but parental supervision is low on children's learning processes especially when there are technical problems.…”

“…A few researchers such as Santos, Durano, and Hortillosa (2023) and Elmunsyah, Nafalski, Wibawa, and Dwiyanto (2023) claimed that LMS can be interpreted as a framework that handles aspects of learning comprehensively. LMS enables and delivers instructional content, identifies and assesses individual and organizational learning or training goals, tracks progress towards fulfilling those goals and shows data for supervising an organization's overall learning process (Ahmad, Elias, Sahari, & Mohamed, 2023;Furqon, Sinaga, Liliasari, & Riza, 2023). During online learning, LMS encourages teachers and students to be active in the learning process (Elmunsyah et al, 2023).…”
