1.0 Introduction

Student learning styles are beginning to change with increased access to media and digitaldevices (Dede et al., 2007 Restak, 2003). With the evolution of new interactive and socially

constructed Web 2.0 tools on the Internet, teachers have access to a greater number of free

tools for teaching and learning support (Ajjan & Hartshorne, 2008 Anderson, 2007

Maloney, 2007 OReilly, 2005). We often heard about using and including technology in

teaching and learning process, thus, Web 2.0 in Education is introduced. Using Web 2.0 in

education basically means using the Web 2.0 tools such as, Blendspace, Voicethread and

Polldaddy in the teaching and learning process. Web 2.0 tools represent one tool useful in

enhancing learning accessibility and quality.

In this study, we analyzed the current use and understanding of Malaysian students in Web

2.0. As we are living in the 21st century, kids nowadays prefer using technology in whatever

they do. For example, in their learning process. Lately, there are more schools that include

technology as a part of their learning process. We can see that students are more interested in

their studies whenever media is involved. Including Web 2.0 in learning is important to

increase students interest in studying, to create one whom fully equipped with knowledge in

terms of academic and practical and produce Malaysians who are versatile.

2.0 Literature Review

A second generation of the World Wide Web that is focused on the ability for people to

collaborate and share information online. Web 2.0 refers to the transition from static HTML

Web pages to a more dynamic Web that is more organized and is based on serving Web

applications to users. It is also revolutionary new ways of creating, collaborating, editing and

sharing user-generated content online.

3.0 Research Objectives

To determine how deep is the people understanding towards Web 2.0 in Education

To identify what people think about how far Web 2.0 contribute in Malaysia education

To identify what are their opinions regarding Web 2.0 in Education.

4.0 Research Methodology

Survey methodology studies the sampling of individual units from a population and the

associated survey data collection techniques, such as questionnaire construction and methods

for improving the number and accuracy of responses to surveys. Polls about public opinion,

public health surveys, market research surveys, government surveys and censuses are all

examples of quantitative research.

In this research, we are using quantitative research and the method that we used is a survey.

We make a questionnaire that consist of eight questions and distributed it. We distributed thequestionnaire online using google form. We distributed the online google form to our

classmates and fellow friends. The respondents need to answer the question online. We

gathered our questionnaire via google form as google form will give us the number of

respondents that had answered our questionnaire. Google form also gives us result from the

answers.

Questions

Our survey form consists of eight questions that that has various type that are range type, yes

or no, multiple choice and opinions questions.

4.2 Participants

Our expectation is to gain 80 responses but we only received 64 responses. Our respondents

include male and female from various universities. We did not restrict only respondents from

our university only the National University of Malaysia, but also to other universities as

well. However, it fulfill the regulation to receive around 30 responses. There are 58 female

responses whereas only 8 male responses.

Next, the age range is majority in the 18 to 20 years old which is 73 percent, whereas there

are no one from the age range 27 years old to 29 years old. We think that this is because the

younger ones are more likely to spend more time over the Internet.

Data Collection

For this research, we have conducted a survey on line, using Google Form to collect our data.

Using Google Form will save up much of our time because we do not have to go out andmeet the respondents, instead we need to just post the survey on social sites, and collect the

data. We have successfully received 64 respondents from different background.

Data Analysis

Based on the results, we can analyse and summarize the result in the form of pie charts, graph

and also percentages. We also have done the calculations that we have gain from the

respondents. However, not all of our questions can be calculated the mean, only one question

which is the range type question.

In this process of analysing the data, we have divided the work into three since we have three

members in a group. We used charts and graphs to make sure our analysis is accurate.

From this survey, we are looking for responses that are compatible with our objectives. From

these, we will have to make a conclusion on the overall survey.

Findings

What we are going to discuss now is what we gained from our survey.

We have a total of nine questions. Firstly, from our first question that ask "Web 2.0 describes

World Wide Web sites that use technology beyond the static pages of earlier Web sites" is

actually a simple definition of Web 2.0. We ask this to determine whether the respondents

know about Web 2.0. From the answer, we can see that only 11 percent of them which is

about 7 out of 64 respondents answered it wrongly. it shows that almost everyone knows the

basic information about Web 2.0.

Figure 1 above shows the responses for Q1

We also asked them about how did they discover about Web 2.0. 61 percent of them said that

they know about Web 2.0 from their friends, 39 percent from the search engine such as

Google, Yahoo and many more. 31 percent answered that they know from school. While 27

percent of the respondents know it from media such as television, radio and other. Last but

not least, 6 percent answered they know about Web 2.0 from others.


For question three, the question is "How often do you use Web 2.0 in your learning

process?". This is a range type questions and there are 64 responses. The highest responses is

5 percent and above times per week answer as it is 39 percent. It was agreed by 25 percent of

the respondents. Meanwhile, the lowest responses are 0, and there is also14 percent and was

answered by 4 respondents.

Question 4 is "How far do you think Web 2.0 contribute in Malaysian Education?". This is

also a range type questions. The highest answers are between 3 and 5 as the number of the

respondents are the same which is 22 and the percentages are 34 percent. The lowest answer

is 2 percent as only one respondent chose it.

Our fifth question is that, we asked the respondents to tick the examples of Web 2.0 tools

they have used. Out of ten choices that we give them Slideshare, Wallwisher, Weebly,

Wikipedia, Prezi, Bubbl.us, Flickr, Mindomo, Project.me, GoogleDocs, the highest Web 2.0

tools that the respondents have experience in using it is, GoogleDocs, which is with 77

percent, followed by Slideshare which is 73 percent. Wikipedia is also the most used Web 2.0

tools among the respondents which is 66 percent. 52 percent of respondents have chosen

Weebly, meanwhile, 45 percent of them have used Prezi. Other than that, 27 percent of the

respondents have picked Flickr as one of the Web 2.0 tools that they familiar with. Besides,

Present.me is the second lowest Web 2.0 tools that the respondents have used, with only 20

percent, followed by the the lowest Web 2.0 tools which are Bubbl.us and Wallwisher.


Moving on to the next question is about do they think Web 2.0 is convenient in daily learning

process. This is one of the question that is prepared by us, aimed to find out how much Web


12/16

2.0 helps in daily teaching and learning process. We have analysed the result in terms of pie

chart because it is a simple Yes and No question. Overall, majority of the respondents agreed

that Web 2.0 is indeed convenient in daily learning process, with 94 percent, and followed by

6 percent of them disagree that using Web 2.0 in learning process is convenient.

Moreover, we also included a question about have they recommended Web 2.0 to anyone. 72

percent of the respondents have recommended using Web 2.0 to their peers or just anyone.

Meanwhile, the rest of them 28 percent of them have never recommended using Web 2.0 to

anyone.

Moving on to the last question of our survey. We ask them about their opinions about how to

improve the usage of Web 2.0 in education. We made this question not compulsory to

answer, so we received 26 responses out of 64. Here are some of the answers that the

respondents gave.

1. Need to provide more good Internet connection so that these kinds of education could

be well managed everytime needed.

2. The usage need to be improvise to school students.

3. Flipped learning is the best way to introduce web 2.0 to students as they have to

explore many things by themselves. Lecturers can give the assignments by using

different kinds of web 2.0.

4. Always take more initiave to improve the Web 2.0 in Education.

5. Good, mostly for students

6. Good for learning process and should be promoted world wide

7. Give extra security.

8. The Web 2.0 should improve much faster and wider range of information can be

shared instead of just one specific stuff.

9. Can also be used in class, for teachers

10. Upgrade the applications inside the Web 2.0

11. Create or buy a gadget that supports the Web 2.0.

12. Teachers should use Web 2.0 apps more often in learning process and introduce to the

students about the benefits.


13/16

13. Educators need to start to use Web 2.0 in early stages to exposed the children so that

they have varieties ways of learning , thus every school should provide the proper

tools so that this aim will be achieved.

14. Show new kinds of new guide.15. Trying an error experimenting

There are three respondents who also said no need improvement on the current use of Web

2.0 because it is actually depends on the students to start doing it, without having the teachers

to introduce to them.

Discussions

From the responses that we have gained, we can say that people think differently. Now, the

discussion below will briefly tell about why we think that such responses are received.

For the first question, most of the respondents know the true meaning of Web 2.0 probably

because they have encountered it somewhere. In our opinion, the teachers in school have

introduced about Web 2.0 in school.

Besides, the second question tells us how the respondents discovered about Web 2.0 and most

of them found out from friends or colleagues. We believe that this is because, the respondents

spent more time with their friends more than anything and anyone. Surprisingly, the lowest is

from media, whereas we thought they will learn more from media and Internet sites.

On the other hand, the next question is about the frequency on how much they use Web 2.0

per week and we found that majority of them uses it quite frequently which is 5 times per

week. This is probably because they spent more time on the laptop and going over the

Internet. Eventually, they will get exposed to it bit by bit.

Moreover, the fourth question a range of how much they think Web 2.0 contributes in

Malaysia Education. Most of them gave a rate of 5, and in our own opinion, we think that this

method has been introduced to them since they were in secondary school. They probably

have seen the good result in their examination, and using Web 2.0 probably has helped them

a lot.


14/16

For questions 5, most of the respondents know of the examples of Web 2.0 applications that

were listed. Maybe, it is because of the usage of those applications in their education.

Questions 6 stated about the convenient of Web 2.0 in daily learning process as many agreed

to it. It is because they can learn something new with those applications that were able to help

them in their work.

It seems that, almost most of them have recommended Web 2.0 towards everyone because of

their familiarity of the applications. It is also because that Web 2.0 can help them doing their

work.

Many of the opinions regarding on how to improve the usage of Web 2.0 in education are

that, the use of Web 2.0 should be instill in the learning and teaching classes. It is probably

because of the good results on using the applicants of Web 2.0 that boost up their

performance.

Conclusion

To conclude, we found out that Web 2.0 is widely known and useful to all kind of students

no matter in primary, secondary school or university students. Malaysia Education is

instilling the proper use of Web 2.0 for the education purposes. Improving the usage of Web

2.0 in education will results in producing excellent students.
