Digital Entrepreneurship

The Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship Acculturation Course is one of the curriculum of higher learning institutions in Malaysia to enhance the soft skills of undergraduates required for the job market. The emergence of digital technologies has led to the integration of the digital entrepreneurship module into the existing entrepreneurship course. Nonetheless, there is a dearth of recent literature relevant to the effectiveness of digital entrepreneurship education and its impact on students’ soft skills. The main purpose of this study is therefore to investigate the impact of digital entrepreneurship education on soft skills of undergraduates at public higher learning institution in East Malaysia. The study collected secondary data which included course feedback forms of 2,454 second year undergraduate students from two different academic years. Overall, the findings show that the digital entrepreneurship education enhanced the students’ soft skills. However, leadership skills were the lowest that students gained in both academic years. The findings provide practical implications for higher learning institutions on the importance of digital entrepreneurship education to the soft skills of undergraduates, and on the need to improve teaching and learning methods to equally enhance the soft skills.

The implementation of Movement Control Order (MCO) to curb the spread of Covid-19 has various effects on the community, regardless of the field they are involved in. Enforcement order to stay at home has resulted  to the closure and restriction of all types of operations including the education sector. Due to the implementation of MCO, the teaching and learning activities that used to be conducted face-to-face have been completely replaced by online learning. This situation eventually has given some stressful impact and has caused difficulties to students of higher learning institutions to continue their studies virtually. Various factors have been found as stressors among undergraduate students. It is hoped that this study would help to find effective ways to reduce stress among undergraduate students.

The Impact

Purpose – This paper aims to to explore power and legitimacy in the entrepreneurship education classroom by using Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological and educational theories. It highlights the pedagogic authority invested in educators and how this may be influenced by their assumptions about the nature of entrepreneurship. It questions the role of educators as disinterested experts, exploring how power and gendered legitimacy “play out” in staff–student relationships and female students’ responses to this. Design/methodology/approach – A multiple-method, qualitative case study approach is taken, concentrating on a depth of focus in one UK’s higher education institution (HEI) and on the experiences, attitudes and classroom practices of staff and students in that institution. The interviews, with an educator and two students, represent a self-contained story within the more complex story of the case study. Findings – The interviewees’ conceptualization of entrepreneurship is underpinned by acceptance of gendered norms, and both students and staff misrecognize the masculinization of entrepreneurship discourses that they encounter as natural and unquestionable. This increases our understanding of symbolic violence as a theoretical construct that can have real-world consequences. Originality/value – The paper makes a number of theoretical and empirical contributions. It addresses an important gap in the literature, as educators and the impact of their attitudes and perceptions on teaching and learning are rarely subjects of inquiry. It also addresses gaps and silences in understandings of the gendered implications of HE entrepreneurship education more generally and how students respond to the institutional arbitration of wider cultural norms surrounding entrepreneurship. In doing so, it challenges assertions that Bourdieu’s theories are too abstract to have any empirical value, by bridging the gap between symbolic violence as a theory and its manifestation in teaching and learning practices.

Continuous Problem

Financial sustainability has been a continuous problem that Higher Learning Institutions (HLI) have to face. In addition, funding has always played a role in the process of research as many have proven that there is a relationship between funding and research impact. This study highlights the impact of funding on UiTM’s research productivity. Publications published by UiTM in 2012 to 2016 from Web of Science (WoS) were used to compare the impact of both funded and unfunded publications. The findings showed that 32.53% of the publications published from 2007 to 2016 were funded. Funded publications published in high impact journals have higher citations compared to unfunded publications particularly for Medical and Science & Technology related fields such as Clinical Medicine and Chemistry. This proves that financial assistance is key to drive quality research and produce impactful publications as it indirectly increases the institution’s research productivity.

This article investigates the role of learning Jawi classical book as one of the important teaching and learning methods in Islamic sciences especially in the study of Islamic Jurisprudence in Malaysia. The method of using the classical Jawi texts has been in place in the Malay Archipelago since a long period of time. However, it is no longer becoming the primary teaching and learning methods nowadays. Thus, this study will look into the effects and significance of learning the classical Jawi texts in understanding the Islamic sciences, particularly the Islamic Jurisprudence. The analysis will also focus on the implementation of learning classical Jawi texts through the talaqqi (face to face) method in several academic faculties at the Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia. For this purpose, descriptive qualitative method is utilized as well as questionnaires and coupled with semi-structured interviews. The study concludes that the learning of classical Jawi texts through talaqqi method is extremely essential in Malaysia specifically to Shariah students. These texts are considered the main sources in the study of Islamic sciences in this region. The understanding of such primary sources in Islamic studies empowers students with well-grounded knowledge before they embark into the study of other modern discipline of knowledge. With such well-grounded knowledge students are able to withstand themselves from other influences which may affect their understanding of their religion. The tradition of studying of classical Jawi texts should be reintroduced to the Malay Muslim communities in Malaysia especially to the students at higher learning institutions in the country.Keywords: Islamic Turath; Islamic Education; Malay Civilizaton; Pondok System; Jawi Classical Book. ARTIKEL: Artikel ini meninjau peranan pengajian kitab turath Jawi sebagai satu bentuk kaedah pengajaran dan pembelajaran ilmu-ilmu Islam yang penting terutama kepada pengajian ilmu fiqah di Malaysia. Tradisi pengajian yang menggunakan teks turath Jawi telah lama dipraktikkan di Alam Melayu. Namun begitu, sistem pengajian moden tempatan dilihat kurang memberi penekanan kepada pengambilan teks turath Jawi sebagai teks utama dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Oleh itu, artikel ini cuba melihat kesan dan kepentingan pengajian teks turath Jawi untuk memahami ilmu-ilmu Islam, khususnya ilmu fiqah. Di samping itu, perbincangan artikel ini turut melihat perlaksanaan pengajian talaqqi kitab turath Jawi di beberapa buah fakulti di Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia. Untuk tujuan ini, kaedah kualitatif deskriptif digunapakai di samping soal selidik dan temu bual berstruktur separa. Hasil kajian ini mendapati bahawa pengajian talaqqi kitab turath Jawi merupakan satu kaedah yang sangat penting dalam dunia pendidikan di Malaysia terutama kepada pelajar aliran syariah. Kitab turath Jawi dianggap sebagai sumber utama dalam pengajian ilmu-ilmu Islam di rantau ini. Kefahaman terhadap teks turath Jawi ini dapat memantapkan para pelajar dengan ilmu-ilmu asas Islam yang kukuh sebelum mula mempelajari ilmu-ilmu moden. Dengan itu, mereka dapat mempertahankan diri daripada pelbagai pengaruh luar yang boleh menjejaskan kefahaman mereka terhadap Islam. Tuntasnya, tradisi pengajian kitab-kitab turath Jawi perlu diketengahkan semula dalam masyarakat Melayu di Malaysia khususnya masyarakat kampus di institusi-institusi pengajian tinggi tempatan.Kata Kunci: Turath Islami; Pendidikan Islam; Tamadun Melayu; Sistem Pondok; Kitab Jawi.

Digital Entrepreneurship

Nowadays, digital technologies have a significant impact on how business perceptions change and how new businesses are created. The new technological paradigm harnesses the potential of collaboration and intellectual capital to develop and implement more robust and sustainable entrepreneurial initiatives. However, while a research in digital entrepreneurship is relevant and timely, there is a limited amount of studies on the real impact of digital technology and intellectual capital on entrepreneurship education, although inquiries into digital entrepreneurship theory and practice have drawn more attention in the recent years. Moreover, at the current level of globalization, society, as practice shows (the situation with COVID-19), is not protected from global shocks in the form of chain crises and pandemics. Therefore, digital entrepreneurship is also able to help solve the economic problems caused by the above phenomena. The purpose of the article is to analyse and clarify various aspects of training students of economic specialties in digital entrepreneurship; formulate the tasks that arise while using digital technologies in the economy, and determine the ways to solve them in the education system. Among many forms of digital entrepreneurship training, online courses are one of the strongest trends and they do affect the content and flow of teaching and learning. This article also focuses on better understanding the skills, opportunities, and risks involved in using the online courses as a new way of training entrepreneurship in higher education system. The authors empirically study the problems and drivers for developing such courses as a new pedagogical concept. The results show that such a course is flexible in time and space and can therefore contribute to the accessibility of entrepreneurship education.
