Abstract

The current study explored the effects of stimulus complexity and familiarity on tracking accuracy between male and female postgraduate students in Malaysia. Since online courses are not restricted by location, the convenience of recording classes has become a steady trend, especially during the COVID-19 period. However, some are also skeptical about the efficacy of online teaching and learning through the digital environment and believe that the stimulus generated on these foundations will result in undesirable consequences (Dhawan, 2020). As student attention determines their tracking accuracy, external factors like stimulus complexity and familiarity tend to be an obstacle for students to be attentive.  In this quantitative experimental study named "Simon Effect", 24 postgraduate students (12 males and 12 females) in a Malaysian public research university were used as samples to test whether or not gender plays a role in tracking accuracy. Results show that gender does not influence the tracking accuracy of postgraduate students. At the same time, the stimulus complexity and familiarity do influence the tracking accuracy of the postgraduate students. The implication of the study lies in promoting the teaching and learning sessions not only for a postgraduate student but for all the students in different educational levels during the COVID-19 period and maximizing the educational outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigated the study motivation and psychological responses of pre-second-year Ph.D. students from a comprehensive university in Malaysia. To gain an understanding of the challenges faced by students, we conducted group interviews with 15 pre-second-year students: Malay, Chinese, and Malaysian Chinese. The interview transcripts were analyzed thematically using Atlas. The results revealed three significant challenges: The passion for pursuing a Ph.D. diminishes over time.; The stark contrast between self-expectations and the harshness of reality; The challenges of reality give birth to the hope for pursuing a Ph.D. The finding suggests some implications for educators and students regarding active learning.
