Abstract
Digital skills are crucial technical competencies for students in higher education institutions. Weaknesses among students in utilizing digital technology can lead to moderate levels of learning achievement, consequently impacting the future graduates’ marketability in the job sector. Hence, the purpose of this study is to identify the factors influencing the acquisition of digital skills among Technology with Education (TE) students at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). This quantitative survey involved a total of 87 final-year TE students from four programmes: Bachelor of Technology with Education; Electric and Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, Building Construction and Living Skills at UTM. The study utilized a questionnaire with 21 items, encompassing three key factors: facilities, quality of teaching by lecturers, and study environment. Data analysis was conducted using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 26.0. The findings revealed that the mean scores for all three factors were at a moderate level. Consequently, enhancing TE students’ digital learning experiences should concentrate on these three factors to augment their academic achievements in today's digital era.
