The Awareness Of Implementing Building Information Modelling (Bim) For Educators In Malaysia Tvet Institutions: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

BIM technology has become trending in the Malaysian construction industry recently; numerous research studies identify the lack of professional skills in BIM application as a primary reason for adopting BIM in industries. Facing professional skill issues, BIM education is related to cooperation with the industry, universities, technical colleges, and communities by practicing and specialising in training. This requires studying specific issues in BIM implementation among educators in TVET institutions, and coordination with industry professionals is necessary to unveil the present status of BIM in each of the professions. The Malaysian TVET Institutions are responding to these barriers by implementing BIM to the institution with the curriculum design, collaboration extending to multiple professionals in the industries at the same time, and providing adequate education and training to their educators. With this objective, a systematic literature review was carried out on WOS and SCOPUS guided by the ROSES methodology. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected based on keywords, abstracts, and the full content of the articles. In the end, 14 articles were thoroughly studied, the integration and evaluation methods analysed, and results obtained. The analysis shows the empirical evidence to identify the awareness and determine the barriers to implementing BIM among educators in Malaysia TVET Institutions. Finally, recommended strategies for mitigating barriers to implementing BIM for educators were identified
