| Summary: | Reading is an action that a person does to obtain a wider knowledge
through his or her experience and this process may lead that person into a very
eye-opening self-discovery. In Malaysia, reading habits rate is still at a lower
level, Malaysian on average read only two books per year. About 80% of
Malaysian university students are reluctant readers. They can read but choose
not to read. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the factors
affecting the reading habit among Malaysia. To answer the research question of
this study we performed a systematic literature review (SLR). We defined a
mapping study process adapted from existing guidelines to categorize and to
structure the research evidence that has been published in the area of reading
habits among Malaysian and world-wide. Twenty-Four papers were used in our
synthesis of evidence, and five factors were identified. The results of this SLR
showed the five factors that can affect the reading habits among Malaysian:
(1) Internet (2) Environmental influence (3) Lack of motivation (4) Peer pressure
(5) Entertainment. The findings of this SLR would be beneficial for understanding the needs of Malaysian towards the reading habit by looking at the
factors, that might be a measurement of reading habit environment in other
specific scopes. |
