Abstract:Even though we have effectively completed a fifth of this new century, non-formal education through community-based learning and other traditional avenues of learning persist as powerful forces in the growth of the human lifespan, particularly for native peoples who have thousands of years of local knowledge. Focusing on Malaysia's Orang Asli (native peoples), this study was conducted to map the field until a more detailed research project is undertaken for the next two years at the Royal Belum State Park in P… Show more
“…From "book knowledge," the Orang Asli set their traditional and local knowledge apart from formal education and schooling. Perhaps more significantly, they contend that combining formal and informal education strengthens their morals and values and them as people (Adnan et al, 2021).…”

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.

The Orang Asli communities are an integral part of the sociocultural and economic life in Malaysia’s society. Orang Asli students have different learning styles that are considered limited and are less skilled in the field of Information Communication Technology (ICT). These two are factors that hinder the advancement of education among them, thus resulting to them dropping out in higher education. Therefore, this conducted study aims to explore whether learning styles are an important aspect in the development of Orang Asli ICT literacy module (mLICT-OA). This is crucial to ensure students are able to engage in the teaching and learning process, and at the same time develop a meaningful learning environment. Quantitative research was conducted in Malaysia, which involved ninety-two (92) Orang Asli students. Data were analysed using the SmartPLS 3.0 software. Research findings show that learning styles are an important aspect that should be integrated into the ICT literacy module development for Orang Asli students. Therefore, this finding contributes by providing a research direction for improving Orang Asli students' capability in learning ICT by integrating their learning styles in mLICT-OA development.
