A New Paradigm of Learning through Information Management Systems in Higher Education

Abstract

The study aims to address the low student motivation in learning and the lack of creativity, especially during lectures. The research used the qualitative descriptive research approach to find out the effectiveness of learning, through an online instructional system. The participants comprised 145 students of the Educational Administration study program. The research findings indicated students’ increased interest in conducting the discussions with the lecturers and the other student, proving the effectiveness of information systems in learning. With the challenges associated with mobility coupled with the convenience information systems present like almost infinite access to academic information, the future of learning will be inseparable from information systems. At the time of conducting this study, the current global confinement was unknown, but for now, online schooling is the norm globally. There are several studies conducted on Information management Systems in higher education learning, but its adoption in mainstream learning systems in higher education has been treated with reservations y policymakers in many countries. The value of this study is to draw more attention to the empirical proof effectiveness of these systems in higher learning to stimulate policy shifts towards its adoption as mandatory mainstream learning systems even after the social lockdown measures currently gripping the world.
