 Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION OF INTERNET NETWORK

1.1 Background of Study

Globalisation creates opportunities and challenges for learners in higher education to

emphasis on information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as internet uses.

The internet is useful for searching information easily and helps students to do their

assignments with just only search on search engine that they want to know. It also let them

to interact with each other for exchanging their idea and information from a different

location in a same time. The internet is the key information and communication technology

that led to a worldwide revolutionary change in the information scenario.

1.2 Problem Statement

As we know, some of student at the universities have a weak internet connection because

every student has their own plan internet. The package that offers for every plan

is also different. These issues can affect a student's academic performance. Students

without internet can't connect with teachers and classmates to ask question or doing

research at the same time.

1.3 Objectives

-To identify the type of network used by the students

-To identify the purpose of using Internet among students

 -To study how much students spend on Internet plan per month

1.4 Significance of Study

The Internet is very important for students to do assignments or join online classrooms.

Therefore, the Internet has an important part in student life. This study would help the

student to choose the best internet plan and affordable that working the best in university.

Therefore, the Internet is crucial for students, as it's essential for research, online classes,

and staying connected. Conducting a study to find the best and most affordable Internet

plan for university students is a great idea to ensure they have access to reliable

connectivity for their academic needs. This study would help the student to choose the best

internet plan that is affordable and works the best at university.

 Chapter 2: METHODOLOGY

2.1 Description of Data

2.1.1 Population

Population is referring to a group of individuals, animals or things under study. On other way,

a population is the complete set group of individuals, whether that group comprises a nation or

a group of people with a common characteristic. In our case, we are studying about Internet

network used by part 1 students at College of Computing, Informatics and Mathematics. Thus,

the population is all students at College of Computing, Informatics and Mathematics, Universiti

Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Perak Branch, Tapah Campus.

2.1.2 Sample

Sample is a group of things or individuals that have been chosen. Other than that, group of

things or individual can be called as subset that are chosen from the population. Moreover, to

analysis the data that we collected perfectly, sample must be selected carefully. In our case, we

choose part 1 students at College of Computing, Informatics and Mathematics, Universiti

Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Perak Branch, Tapah Campus. Therefore, we would like to study on

what 50 students from part 1 of College of Computing, Informatics and Mathematics do with

their Internet network and also what is their Internet coverage, we decided that to take 50

students from part 1 of College Computing, Informatics and Mathematics as our sample.
2.1.3 Sampling technique

Sampling techniques are scientific methods of selecting samples from a population. It is used

to generalize or draw a conclusion about the population. In our case, we are using convenience

sampling techniques for our study about their Internet network. Convenience sampling is a

sampling technique where samples are selected based on their ease of access or availability

rather than using a random or systematic method. While it can be a quick and cost-effective

way to gather data, it may introduce bias because it may not accurately represent the entire

population. While using convenience sampling, it is important to be aware of the limitations

and potential for sampling bias in our study about the Internet network.

To complete our study, we are using convenience sampling as our sampling techniques on

estimate about 50 students' part 1 of College of Computing, Informatics and Mathematics. In

other word, Convenience sampling is a non-probability sampling method where units are

selected for inclusion in the sample because they are the easiest for the researcher to access.

There is also other way of probability sampling such as namely simple random sampling (SRS),

systematic sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling and multi-stage sampling.

Furthermore, convenience sampling is the most suitable because it’s incredibly prompt,

uncomplicated and efficient. To end it, this sampling type is suitable for testing questionnaire,

generating ideas or to obtaining some information about our study. Figure 1.1 is an example of

how convenience sampling technique be done.

2.1.4 Data Collection Method

Data collection methods are techniques and procedures used to gather information for

research purposes. These methods can range from simple self-reported surveys to more

complex research and can involve either quantitative or qualitative approaches to data

gathering. In our case, we are using other methods, such as the Internet survey, since it is

easier for the student to fill it out and lower cost than other methods. It offers several

advantages, such as ease of distribution, faster response times, and the ability to collect

data. 

Online survey (google form) is used as our method of collecting data. This way can help

us in various way. For instance, it helps us reduce costs, save our time and it the most

convenience in this nowadays to gain information and data.

The advantages of using Google Form as our way of gathering data is it help with data

analysis. For example, when you are using paper and pencil as a method of collecting data

there will be a lot of work to do such as analysis the data, transferring the data and

everything must be done by your own. There is also the risk of the data being wrongly key

in in the data analysis. Moreover, by using Google Form also mobile friendly which is

make it easier for respondents to answer the survey right away anytime and anywhere they

go. Furthermore, nowadays everyone brings their phone anywhere they go and everywhere

they when. Thus, using google form is the most suitable method for collecting data for this

survey.

2.2 Method of Analysis

2.2.1 Pie Chart

Figure 2.1: How many people in a class like different kind of games

Pie charts are circular charts divided into sections where each sector represents a

proportion of the whole. A pie chart, sometimes called a circle chart, is a way of
summarizing a set of nominal data or displaying the different values of a given variable.

The graph's pieces are equal to the percentage of the total in each group. In other words,

the size of each slice of the pie is proportional to the size of the group as a whole. The

entire “pie” represents 100% of a total, while the “slices” represent parts of the whole. On

top of that, there are various type of pie chart such as doughnut chart, exploded pie chart,

polar area diagram and waffle chart.

Pie Chart Step:

i. Firstly, we need construct a table of our study about.

ii. Next, we need to choose only a few categories which have more input. Don't take

too many categories, this can make the pie chart difficult to read.

iii. Then, we need to divide the circle into the parts that correspond to the percentages

for each of the strata.

iv. The pie chart should be designed in colour or shaded and we need to put the

percentages so that we can easily understand the pattern of our main study.

2.2.2 Bar Chart

A bar chart or bar graph is a chart or graph that presents categorical data with rectangular

bars with heights or lengths proportional to the values that they represent. The bars can be

plotted vertically or horizontally. There are many types of bar charts. The commonly used

bar charts are vertical, horizontal, bar chart, cluster bar chart, and stacked bar chart.

Steps to create bar chart:

 i. Decide the title of bar chart.

ii. Do the horizontal axis and vertical exist and label both axis.

iii. Construct a rectangle over each category. The base of each rectangle should be

same width.

Vertical Bar Chart Cluster/Multiple Bar Chart

Horizontal Bar Chart Stacked Bar Chart

Given the clustered bar chart above, most of the students are neutral with their network

coverage, and a lot of students are satisfied or very satisfied with their network coverage.

However, 4 respondents are dissatisfied, and 2 respondents are very dissatisfied with their

network coverage. Therefore, network coverage in Tapah is good enough for the student to

make use of.

3.1.5 Spends for the Internet Plan

Figure 3.1.5: Spends for the Internet Plan

Based on the clustered bar chart above, the majority of students, which is 25

respondents, spent RM35 and less than RM50 for the Internet plan. Other than that, seven

respondents spent more than RM50 for the Internet plan. However, 15 respondents spent

moderately, which is RM15 and less than RM35, and 3 respondents spent less than RM15 for

the Internet plan.

3.1.6 Internet Package

Figure 3.1.6: Internet Package

These clustered bar charts show that the majority of students, which is 39 respondents,

chose unlimited GB for the Internet package. Other than that, 2 respondents chose the Internet

package of 21GB–30GB, and 4 respondents chose the Internet package of 11GB–20GB.

However, five respondents chose the lowest Internet package, which is 10GB and under.

Therefore, the student used a lot of the Internet at the university.

3.1.7 Time spends on surfing internet
