Abstract—The Orang Asli communities are an integral part
of the sociocultural and economic life in Malaysia’s society.
Orang Asli students have different learning styles that are
considered limited and are less skilled in the field of
Information Communication Technology (ICT). These two are
factors that hinder the advancement of education among them,
thus resulting to them dropping out in higher education.
Therefore, this conducted study aims to explore whether
learning styles are an important aspect in the development of
Orang Asli ICT literacy module (mLICT-OA). This is crucial to
ensure students are able to engage in the teaching and learning
process, and at the same time develop a meaningful learning
environment. Quantitative research was conducted in Malaysia,
which involved ninety-two (92) Orang Asli students. Data were
analysed using the SmartPLS 3.0 software. Research findings
show that learning styles are an important aspect that should be
integrated into the ICT literacy module development for Orang
Asli students. Therefore, this finding contributes by providing a
research direction for improving Orang Asli students'
capability in learning ICT by integrating their learning styles in
mLICT-OA development.
Index Terms—ICT, module, Orang Asli students, learning
styles.
