An Investigation of Malaysian Secondary School Teachers and Students' Perspectives towards Computer Technology in Education during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Arab World English Journal, spec iss 2 p453-465 Jan 2022
The present study aims at investigating the perspectives of Malaysian secondary school teachers and students towards computer technology in education during the COVID-19 Pandemic. A questionnaire adapted from Christensen and Knezek (1998) was used as a data collection instrument in this study. The participants included 49 secondary school teachers, 63 student teachers and 125 secondary school students. The main result of the study indicates that teachers have the most positive perspectives towards computers than that of student teachers and senior high school students. In contrast, senior high school students do not have positive perspectives towards the use of computer technology. In addition, they have different perspectives concerning different constructs including enthusiasm, email, vocation, aversion and enjoyment. The results of this research offer an understanding of Malaysian secondary school teachers' and students' perspectives to computer technology in education. Therefore, it can help promulgate computer usage in secondary education. In addition, the findings will inform policy-makers and stakeholders of secondary schools to prepare particular strategies for diverse targeted groups to enhance computer applications.
