| description | Learning transfer is the ultimate goal of any training programme. The new Malaysian
skills training is based on the dual learning principle in which trainees alternate
between attending theoretical classes in the skills training institute and receiving onthe-job
training
at
worksite.
This
new
paradigm
of
skills
training
is better
known
as
National
Dual
Training
System
(NDTS).
The
main
problem
is
that
there
were
complaints
from
the
employers
that
the
competencies
of
the output of the skills
training
in Malaysia
are
of
poor
quality.
This was
due
to low
absorption
of learning
transfer
performance
from
training
places
to workplace.
Apart
from
that there
were
little
studies
related
to the
effectiveness
of learning
transfer
due
to there
is no
acceptable
way
and
mean
to measure
the learning
transfer.
The
aim
of this
study
was
to
ascertain
on whether
the
effectiveness
of learning
transfer
did occurred
in
the
automotive
mechatronics
of NDTS
programme.
The
research
focus
area
is the
Mechatronics
Automotive
course.
A
longitudinal
study
method was
employed
as
the
research
methodology.
The
participants
of this
research
were
the trainees
and
coaches
from
NDTS
Mechatronics
Automotive
course.
The
study
utilised
the
selfadministered
questionnaire,
semi-structured
interview,
focus
group
and
case
study.
Measuring
16
factors
of
the
Learning
Transfer
System
Inventory
(LTSI)
plus
3 factors
derived
from
literature
review
and
expert
group
discussion
enable
the
researcher
to
determine
the relationship
between
the
learning
transfer
factors.
It
was
found
that
NDTS
training
programme
appears
to have
facilitated
the positive
transfer
and
near
transfer
from
training
situation
to workplace
environment.
The
findings
of
multiple
regressions
result
suggest
that
the predictive
variables
explained
43.9%
variance
that
has
significance
effect
on
the effectiveness
of learning
transfer.
Apparently,
the
most
influential
dimensions
of the effectiveness
of learning
transfer
in NDTS
were
revealed
as
the course
content,
training
delivery
and
working
tasks. Interestingly,
result
indicated
that
the
effectiveness
of learning
transfer
in NDTS
had
occurred
by
the
overall
framework
accuracy
percentage
of 79.2%.
Therefore,
the emerging
effectiveness
of learning
transfer
framework
of NDTS
in
Malaysia
is proposed. |
