Abstract
  • This study explores the relationship between the academic year and student autonomy at Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia Kampus Keningau. The main goals are: 1) to measure student autonomy in different academic years and programs, and 2) to discover if the year of study affects how autonomous students feel. We used a questionnaire called the Autonomous Learning Scale to gather information from students across four academic years and analyzed the data with statistical methods to compare and find connections. The findings show that students in the early years of their studies feel more autonomous, which means they feel more in control of their learning. However, this feeling of autonomy decreases as the students progress through the higher academic years. Based on these findings, it is recommended that educational strategies be revised to enhance support for autonomy across all academic years. Enhancing these strategies could enhance students' independent learning capabilities, thereby enriching their overall educational experience and preparing them more effectively for professional challenges.
