Topic of the article:

Teachers’ Perceptions of E-Learning in Malaysian Secondary Schools

The authors emphasis on the constantly challenged faced by Malaysian teachers with some new technologies which they believed can enable them to perform their job better. Mei Lick Cheok et al (2017) However, believed that in 2013, some teachers have been given access to an online learning space known as the FROG VLE.

 thus, the initial evidence has shown poor adoption of the e-learning. The teachers retreating into their old manner of teaching and learning can no longer be accepted, while some schools are feeling disconnected from society and the in classrooms implementing mythology, if the new technology innovation is to be implemented the teacher’s perceptions that innovation is important to measures and improve the condition in order to sustain the new e-learning. They can only be enforced if the instructors know the situations and conditions that teachers encounter.

The researcher used qualitative research approach to identify the views and experiences of 60 secondary school teachers regarding implementation of FROG VLE in three secondary schools in Malaysia.

 This article is used to obtain a more nuanced explanation for teacher perceptions toward e-learning. Data were collected using an open-ended questionnaire.

The results of the study show the benefits as perceived by the teachers, the main barriers they faced and suggestions for improving implementation and Implications for teacher preparation, staff development efforts and education reform are proposed.
