Abstrak

This study aimed to examine the effect of the Summer Course Program on the Cultural Awareness of Indonesian students participating in the Summer Course Program at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) in 2024. The study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. The population consisted of 50 Indonesian students who participated in the UTHM Summer Course Program in 2024, and total sampling was used. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, validity and reliability testing, simple linear regression, and t-test. The results showed that the Summer Course Program had a positive and significant effect on students' Cultural Awareness. The regression equation was Y = 6.669 + 0.708X, and the t-test produced a t-value of 8.120 with a significance value of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.579, indicating that the Summer Course Program explained 57.9% of the variation in Cultural Awareness. Thus, international learning experiences involving academic activities and cross-cultural interaction contributed positively to the development of students' Cultural Awareness.
