su&&ort o# oraniations hose oal is to uild authentic loal counities onlineD (lein+ 2010+ &. @6).The

introduction o# co&uter technolo! aon the societ! has chaned the a! &eo&le live+ or* and learns. The

a&&lication o# technolo! has i&roved the teachin and learnin in an! schools es&eciall! in the last to

decades. The latest studies on the use o# technolo! #or teachin and learnin shos &roisin results #or 

teachers+ students and education.

:sin technolo! in the classroo &re&ares learners to e autonoous and active in their learnin. B! usintechnolo! such as co&uters+ learners ill e ale to create their on *nolede ased on &ast e&eriences

ith ne in#oration (Bitter and Pierson+ 200F).

"reatin each technolo! is #or a s&eci#ic &ur&ose so Ginner (1H@0) #elt that educators should deconstruct the

<&ur&oseD o# a iven technolo! in the classroo accordin to the iases and s!stes in each classroo.

Scholars (Ginner+1H@0+ 2000= Brole!+ 1HH@= Postan+ 1HH@) have called on teachers to &a! ore attention to

the o>ective o# usin technolo! in a &ur&ose#ul and eanin#ul a! e#ore a&&l!in it in the classroo.

Ge need to reeer that usin technolo! in the classroo ill onl! e use#ul i# it is a&&lied to eet its  

 &ur&ose (Brole!+ 1HH@= le+ 2007).

2. Background and Theoretical understanding

There are to contrastin &ers&ectives in su&&ort #or and aainst usin technolo! in the classroo=

constructive and critical. "onstructivis eans <ho &eo&le learn and hat needs to e learnedD (9u##! and

onassen (1HH2). "onstructivist 'ndrea Jooden (1HH6) &erceives technolo! as a toolo #illed ith s*ills #or 

 etter learnin ! creatin ne aterials not a tool #or &er#orin a &articular tas*. "onstructivists consider the

advantaes o# classroo technolo! hile critical theorists &erceive technolo! as a tool+ an aent o# chane+ and

also as an o>ect ith &olitical otivation that causes isolation so critical theorists tend to add or delete

technolo! into an environent to chane that environent. "ritical theorists elieve that usin technolo! in the

classroo has a sini#icant role in the students% inter&retation o# aterials.

3.  Classroom Technology Use

Teachers re&eatedl! use technolo! i# the! receive enouh e4ui&ent and su&&orts (8an and Khao+ 2006) ut

recent #indins ("uan+ ir*&atric*+ and Pec*+ 2001= Lussell+ Beell+ M9!er+ and M"onnor+ 2003= Soloon

and Giederhorn+ 2000= Khao and ,ran*+ as cited in 8an and Khao+ 2006) reveal that. 8an and Khao (2006)

suest that technolo! ado&tion lies ith teachers% oals and &erce&tions. The results o# their stud! sho that

teachers are ore &essiistic aout usin technolo! in the classroo ecause o# the lac* in trainin needs in

a&&l!in technolo!. The result o# their stud! suest that aintainin the status 4uo and avoidin disturance

have a hiher &riorit! on the hierarch! o# teachers% oals a#ter alancin the costs and ene#its o# usin

technolo! (8an and Khao+ 2006). Soe researchers (Snoe!in* and Erter+ 2001–2002= and Khao et al.+ 2006)

 elieve that teachers% ada&tation o# technolo! are in#luenced ! their s*ills and elie#s aout technolo!. ,ro

 &ersonal &ers&ectives aout curriculu and instructional &ractice. 'lthouh illions o# dollars ("ES+ 200@) and

uch #ocus have een &ut on technolo! in education (ISTE+ 2010= "ES+ 200@)+ instruction has not chaned

uch ("uan et al.+ 2001).

The use o# technolo! in the classroo is also uch related to their attitudes toards the technoloical

 arriers inherent in the traditional de&lo!ent o# technolo! in schools. These arriers re#lect the school culture

and a##ect a teacherMs &ersonal elie# s!ste or sel#-e##icac! and the ultiate i&act o# usin technolo! in theclassroo. Br!c*i and 9udt (200F) elieve that there are soe di##iculties and challenes such as tie+ su&&ort+

odels+ in#rastructure+ and culture that &ersist and even rea&&ear ith ne technoloies in a&&l!in technolo!

in the classroo.

The arriers o# i&leentin technolo! are classi#ied into ,irst- order or etrinsic #actors and second-order  

or intrinsic arriers (Bric*ner+ 1HHF= Erter+ 1HHH). ,irst-order arriers include environental or institutional 

issues and resources hile second-order arriers related to a teacher%s &ersonal instructional elie#s+ e&eriences  

and strateies. Teachers are #aced ith an! di##iculties due to these intrinsic hich a##ect their decision-a*in 

 &rocesses and classroo &ractices (Erter+ 1HHH).

The a>orit! o# teachers elieve that #irst-order arriers &revent teachers #ro usin technolo! in the

classroo. In su&&ort #or this+ "uan+ ir*&atric*+ and Pec* (2001)+ and Bauer and enton+ (200F) cite tie tolearn and &re&are instruction as arriers that hinder teachers #ro utiliin technolo! in the classroo. Poor 

 &ro#essional develo&ent (oehler and $ishra+ 200F) and access to e4ui&ent (8an and Khao+ 2006) also

contriute to #irst order or etrinsic arriers.

4.  Importance of  the tudy

Previous research have shon that usin technolo! i&roves the learnin e&erience and students% acadeic

 &er#orance. In Edin%s (200@) o&inion+ ! interatin technolo! into the curriculu+ education &ractices ill

 e i&roved and teachers ill e ale to e&ound u&on the tetoo* and &re&are ore authentic and student-

centered classroo learnin aterials. Stoll (1HHH)+ hoever disareed ith usin technolo! ecause this sends

students the essae that <illeile handritin+ raar+ anal!tical thouht+ and huan dealins don%t atterD(&. 1F@).

The reason #or &lacin #ocus on technolo! is to &roduce de#inite outcoes ($asoret and Jardener+ 2003= &.

?). $an! schools &rovide technolo! in the classroo to create ore acadeic o&&ortunities #or students%

acadeic develo&ent and roth. Noever+ usin technolo! in the classroo de&ends on the a! technolo!

is allied ! teachers (Sinclair+ 200H).

There are a #e studies on teachers% &erce&tions o# a&&l!in technolo! in the classroo. $ala!sian teachers%

 &erce&tion o# usin technolo! in the classroo &ractices is descried in the current stud!. The teachers ere

located at ulti&le schools in ohor Bahru.

!.  "ethodology

uantitative surve! ethods cannot descrie the interaction as aon &erce&tions and actions (Broo*hart and

,reean+ 1HH2= Lichardson+ 1HH6 ). 's such 4ualitative research is used #or the ode o# in4uir! #or this stud!.

ne o# the uni4ue co&onents o# 4ualitative research is the sall nuer o# &artici&ants in the stud! ( Lussel+

4uestionnaire co&osed o# to &arts. Part I relates to the &ersonal in#oration o# &artici&ants. Part II co&rises

4uestions on the use o# technolo! in teachin. 9e#inition o# technolo! also enco&asses co&uter hardare

The reason #or conductin the current stud! is to deterine $ala!sian teachers% &erce&tions o# a&&l!in

technolo! in the classroo and the challenes the! a! #ace in i&leentin technolo!. The results are

cateoried under several a>or thees+ i.e. s*ills in handlin technolo! #or instruction in the classroo+

o# the #elt that it as di##icult to use technolo! in the classroo and this is related to several #actors. The

 &artici&ants)+ the asence o# access to e4ui&ent (F &artici&ants) and the lac* o# technical su&&ort (? &artici&ants).

Insu##icient tie ould usuall! relate to the aount o# tie a teacher needs to &re&are his teachin and

learnin resources #or use ith his learners. The #indin that tie is a constrainin #actor+ is consistent ith the

#indins o# Peirson (2001)+ "arlson and Leid! (200?) and ,riedan (2006). The asence o# access to co&uters

has+ tie and tie aain een the co&laint o# an! teachers in schools in $ala!sia. "o&uters are insu##icient

not >ust #or the use o# the students+ ut also #or the teachers ho ould need the to &re&are their co&uter-

 ased lessons. ther e4ui&ent that include the "9 &ro>ector+ the server+ and all other related technoloical

The &artici&ants have all ruled out that &ersonal elie#s ould hinder their use o# technolo! in the classroo.
