Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify the role of trait emotional intelligence towards students’ readiness in online learning. This study clarified the role of trait emotional intelligence or personality traits as one of important elements to understand students’ readiness in online learning. Previous research done by other researchers show the result of male and female readiness in online learning was not consistent. There are contradictions on past research and a limited number of studies in these areas, especially among Malaysian students. Research design used in this study is a quantitative method. To measure students’ personality trait, Trait Emotional Intelligence – Short Form (TEIQue – SF) by Petrides (2009) has been used and to investigate students’ readiness in online learning, the instrument used is Online Learning Readiness Scale that was developed by Hung et. al (2010). Major findings found that trait EI sub-dimensions such as well-being, self-control and social skills have a significant relationship with online learning readiness. Other than that, the findings found that male students have shown more readiness in online learning compared to female students. The study also found that students’ educational background has no relationship with their readiness in an online learning environment.
