Quasi-experimental design shows significant learning improvements in B40 communities through structured workshops, highlighting TAR UMT's role in community support.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a structured knowledge transfer initiative conducted by Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology (TAR UMT), Johor Branch, as part of its Knowledge Transfer Programme (KTP). The one-day "Mushroom Cultivation Workshop for B40 Communities" aimed to improve participant understanding in three key areas: Basic Knowledge, Preparation and Management, and Care and Maintenance. Using a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test design, the workshop included 27 participants from the local community. Statistically significant improvements were observed in all three areas, demonstrating the programme's success in enhancing knowledge, practical skills, and confidence. The results confirm the effectiveness of structured, university-led knowledge transfer efforts in delivering measurable community benefits, underscoring the role of TAR UMT, Johor Branch, in supporting inclusive and applied learning for socio-economic development.
