Issues and Challenges in Integrating ICT in Teaching and Learning in Malaysian Schools

In my opinion teaching and learning by using ICT will give a lot of complication to the teachers and students as well. First and foremost, the teachers do not have enough knowledge regarding the using of ICT in teaching and learning process. They do not know how to conduct the LCD projector, laptop and the other instrument as well. Even though many seminar have been conducted but the teachers still cannot master ICT nicely. Other than that, the teachers also do not practice how to use the LCD projector and laptop after having the seminar. So they just take an easy way by not using this application during teaching and learning process.

Furthermore, the teachers also do not know how to attract the students to pay their attention during the lesson in progress. This is because some teachers just use a common presentation without adding some cute things or something that can attract the students’ interest. This is important to make sure that the students do not feel sleepy during the teachers are teaching. Sometimes when the students always feel sleepy during the lecture in progress, they will ask their teachers to stop using the ICT during the teaching and learning process. So, in order to assure that the students always in focus, the teachers take an initiative way to not use the ICT application for the lesson in class. By doing this all the students feel fresh and not easy to get sleepy in class.

Moreover, using ICT in school is a nice way to expose the students and teachers to ICT, but sometimes the equipment is not well enough in some schools especially at rural area. The school in rural area especially in Sabah and Sarawak always in trouble when the teachers try to use LCD in teaching and learning process. They always at the back and this condition are unfair for those who are school at the rural area. The government should always know the real situation so that all the equipment are well enough. When all this things always happen, the students at rural areas always at the back and not superb like the students in urban areas. As usual students at the urban areas always perform well in using ICT. This is because they have all the equipments and well enough to support the teaching and learning process. So they can carry out the lesson smoothly without having trouble and problems.

Last but not least, the equipment like LCD projector has been spoilt by the students when the teachers are trying to use the ICT. When this situation always happen, so the teachers feel fed up to use the tools. In addition, this will waste the time to set up again all the things. The teaching and learning process cannot be done in the expected time. So the teachers need to use the blackboard or white board to replace ICT projector to proceed the lessons. In other words, the teachers need to well prepared before start the lessons so that the teaching and learning process can be done if something bad happen. The students themselves always in front of their teachers so that the teachers cannot proceed the lessons. This is because the students think that the teachers will not proceed the lessons so they can enjoy during the period.

In conclusion teaching and learning process using ICT give trouble to the students and teachers. Ministry Of Education should plays their role so that all the problems face can be solve wisely. The things like the tools, facilities to connect the internet and the teachers skill using ICT need to be highlight so that the goal to use ICT in Malaysian School can be done effectively.

REFLECTION

In my opinion, there are many advantages that I have gained during enter this ICT class. I think engage, empower and enhance have given useful guideline in order to help better understanding among the students. From engage, we can elicit the students’ ideas so that we can know what is the prior knowledge about the topic that will be learned on that particular period. This is important part to assure that there are no more misunderstand regarding the lessons. Next, empower is used to plan the experiment to exposed the students regarding the topics. And, at the end of the experiment, we can discuss why, what, where, when and how does the process happen based on the results obtained. Then we use enhance to know whether the students can cope up with the real concepts or not. For instance we can provide some pictures and questions to assist the students and make them more clearly understand regarding those particular topics. During choosing the suitable concepts or scenario to build this data logger we have faced many troubles. We have to create what the students think, some pictures need to download and time to start the experiments. Since the laptop provided and the limited kinds of sensor, we need to choose one day that we no class. So, we can carry out the experiment effectively. Unfortunately, our group cannot do the blood pressure experiment because of the spoil sensor. Hence we need to change our topic to the rate of transpiration. For the first time we can finish this experiment, but when the result came out, the graph totally different from our expected. Then again we consult the experiment till the data or the result competitive with the real one. So we can easily conclude why and how does the graph obtained like that. I hope that I can do lots of activity by using data logger in school later in my teaching and learning process.

Moreover, simulation and modelling also give a lot of advantages. By using this application, we can teach the students in creative way so that the students easy to understand. Simulation means something that slow we can fast it and vice versa. For example the oxygen intake to all parts of our body and cell division. These processes happen too fast and we do not know how the processes happen. So, to give some clue, we can use simulation by uploading some videos to see how the processes occur. While modelling is something that have variables. Means that we can change the things or variables for better understanding. We can find and download the animation to see how it happen and can change the variable by ourselves. Then, we can see what the differences between the different variables are. Then, we can help the students easily without any problems. But not all the teachers can use this simulation and modelling in the classroom. This is because of lacking ICT equipment and the teachers just using the normal way in teaching and learning process. The students hard or take time to understand certain topics.

I think that the government should provide all the ICT equipments wisely so that the teaching and learning process can be done effectively. The teachers should also know how to use simulation and modelling and data logging in order to create something creative in teaching and learning process. Hence, the students feel excited and always pay attention during the class. Other than that, the teachers themselves should try to create something new in teaching so that the students always pay attention and easy to understand in class.
