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+
2003 ). Noever+ hile the nuer o# &artici&ants a! e #eer than is #ound in 4uantitative studies+ the de&th
o# 4uestionin and the richness o# the data that 4ualitative research uncovered cannot e co&ared to 4uantitative
research (Slauen Ghite and Si&son+ 1HH@). The &ool o# &artici&ants in this stud! as sall+ thus e##ort to #ocus

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
