Abstract
|
The purpose of this research is to investigate the adoption of WhatsApp instant
messaging among students in Ipoh higher education institutions. Students’
competencies in using ICT applications, attitudes towards WhatsApp mobile
learning, practices of WhatsApp in learning and various factors influencing students’
adoption of WhatsApp are examined. This study was carried out in tertiary schools
with students who used WhatsApp. A number of 30 students took part in the survey.
Students were chosen randomly. Data was collected using questionnaire adapted
from “The Use of Social Networking Sites in Education: A Case Study of Facebook”
by Bicen and Uzunboylu which yielded a Cronbach Alpha of 0.98. Results revealed
that students were competent in using various ICT tools. They possessed positive
attitudes towards WhatsApp mobile learning. Most of them had great experiences
with WhatsApp. However, inaccessibility to Internet had slowed down their
adoption of WhatsApp. Finally, recommendations are made about using WhatsApp
in education.
