Abstract

Many students are experiencing various mental health issues and challenges. Resilient traits are believed to help students overcome mental health challenges and adversities in academic settings. Hence, this research aims to evaluate an interactive resilience programme that was created based on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. It assessed the impact on the final-year students’ resilience levels and their perceptions of online interactive technologies in fostering learning resilience. Eighteen final-year students, comprising fourteen female and four male students from two universities, completed the programme and responded to the research instruments before and after the programme. The two instruments used were adapted from Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students (UWES–9S) for gathering distress levels and three dimensions of academic resilience quantitatively. Besides, the open feedback was analysed qualitatively. The results revealed an alarming level of distress among the finalyear students and a moderate level of academic resilience. The programme managed to lower their distress levels (with p < .05) while significantly improved their academic resilience traits. These findings highlight the urgent need for resilience-building programmes tailored to Malaysian undergraduates, which could be scaled to address mental health challenges across universities nationwide
