How much does will it cost by implementing ICT in Malaysia’s education?

•Ministry of Education –funding

•Integrating ICT in our Malaysian schools –high cost

What are the challenges that teachers and students will face in

using ICT? Two categories of barrier.

Intrinsic barrier as second order and

cited attitudes, belief, practice and resistance.

Extrinsic barrier as first order and cited access,

time, support, resources and training

Lack of confident

Lack of time

Lack of effective training

How does ICT will help the students from the rural area?

Make sure that rural people follow the development of the

technologies.

Increase their knowledge faster and easier than before.

Help the education system in rural area became more

systematic and bring good quality in rural school.

Does ICT can help to achieve the philosophy of education’s goal?

From the intellectual aspect, ICT helped to fulfill the education

philosophy.

One of the government efforts to achieve the education

philosophy is “Smart School”.

Aim is to capitalize on leading-edge technologies and rapid

deployment of the MSC’s infrastructure to jump start

deployment of enabling technology to school.

Issue: Students’ ability to apply their ICT capability across the curriculum is largely dependent on the effective teaching and learning

Does ICT enhanced learning

effectively work

How to help or train the teachers to have ICT skills in order to create an effective learning environment

early ICT training programs in the 1991’s focused on ICT use as the main training content

learn HOW to use ICT or teachers can be trained VIA ICT

Expose to system software

Issue : many teachers report that they have not had adequate training to prepare themselves to use technology effectively in teaching and learning

Categories for ICT in teacher training (adapted from Collis & Jung, 2003, p.176)

How ICT can create a new, open learning environment

interaction and teamwork skills

the environment are composed by a teaching method, a multimedia application, internet based learning modules and an ICT assessment

implements a new student-centred learning method

Issue : learning environment for individual students is most often basis for development of new open learning environments

Conclusions Although there are some of the barrier and problem but ICT can prepare our children for successful lives and carriers in an increasingly technological world.

So if we looked at the good side of implementing ICT in all Malaysian schools, we can precisely predicted that there will be many benefit for both teacher and learner when use ICT. The uses of ICT will enhance the learning experience for students, helping them to think and communicate creatively.
