Abstract

Several studies indicated that Malaysians are less patriotic because they do not engage actively in patriotic activities. The objectives of this study are to investigate the level of patriotism among undergraduates according to gender, ethnicity and faculties of studies. In addition, this study also investigates the correlation between students’ levels of patriotism and their interest in History. The samples of this study consist of 120 undergraduates from a private university in Selangor. Convenience sampling was employed in choosing the samples. This quantitative study used questionnaire as instrument in collecting the data. Prior to the actual study, a pilot test was conducted (among 45 undergraduates students from the same university) to obtain the reliability of the instrument. The quantitative data from the questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS program for Windows version 22. Descriptive statistics (mean) and inferential statistic (T-test, One Way ANOVA, Turkey HSD, and Pearson correlation) were used in analyzing the data. The findings reveal that there is no significant difference in the students’ level of patriotism according to gender. The findings also indicate there is a significant difference in students’ level of patriotism according to ethnicity. But, there is no significant difference in their level of patriotism according to their faculties of studies (Education, Engineering and IT). Besides that, the findings show that there is a positive significant correlation between students’ level of patriotism and their interest in History. These findings have crucial theoretical implications, pedagogical implications and practical implications.
