QUESTIONING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF TECHNOLOGIZING ALGERIAN SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSIT...IJITE
The present paper investigated major reasons behind the failure of an effective technologization of schools
and universities in Algeria. It also tackled the issue of teacher-student rapport in an era where the internet
has become a rival for teachers. This work questioned the factors contributing to the failure of a successful
integration of new technologies in Algerian classrooms. Field observations were required to collect data;
four primary schools (private and public, two middle schools), two secondary schools and four universities
were the fieldwork of this study. Also, as a case study, I lastly presented my personal experience in
technologizing my classes as a university teacher. The results showed that social, cultural, economic and
educational factors were behind the failure of a successful integration of ICTs in Algerian classrooms.
Moreover, I emphasized that the teacher-learner rapport is in jeopardy because of the chaotic and
ineffective penetration of new technological tools in the Algerian classroom.

Introduction
The Smart Schools initiative is one of the seven flagship applications that are part of
Malaysia’s Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) project. The Government of Malaysia aims to
capitalise on the presence of leading-edge technologies and the rapid development of the MSC’s
infrastructure to jump-start deployment of enabling technology to schools. This will be done by
creating a group of 90 pilot Smart Schools by 1999 that will serve as the nucleus for the eventual
nation-wide rollout of Smart School teaching concepts and materials, skills, and technologies. By
2010, all 10,000 of Malaysia’s primary and secondary schools will be Smart Schools.
Smart School curriculum is designed to mold students to achieve a balanced development.
Students as active learners in the classroom rather than as passive learner. Learning-centered
mindset, leveraging the technology knowledge and resources in a comprehensive and integrated
use in any situation. School develop creative problem solving skills to meet the new situation.
Students act with courage in making decisions and are responsible for the decision that they are
made. Students will make information adventures around the world to find and gathering a data.
Students will be able to reach a source of local, national and global.
Crawl through the internet also allows interaction between students and teachers and other
people around the world. World students will be extended through communication, education, and
social. This means learning to foster and enhance the potential that students have an efficient,
economical and effective to use the thinking ability, knowledge, skills and education technology
era and future challenges require Smart School as a springboard to achievement. Crawl has the
advantage of allowing students who cannot attend school to make school work from home. This
gives new meaning to the idea of school absenteeism due to learning can still occur outside the
school. Therefore, students need to be taught strategies for information leading to the efficient and
selective. Team work, flexibility, foresight and skill to use the international language will also be
emphasized. Malaysia Smart School will take the concept of a virtual skip class innovative. The
current system provides the students with low tension and prevents the advancement of intelligent
students.

Objectives of Smart School
The Malaysian Smart School is a learning institution that has been systemically reinvented
in terms of teaching-learning practices and school management in order to prepare children for the
Information Age. The history of the Smart School Project is rooted in the two-pronged objectives
of the flagship, which are to jumpstart the MSC towards:
1. Building a knowledge-based economy, contributing to the growth of the ICT industry and
creating a pool of talent resulting in high-value job creation.
2. Prepare the citizens for the information age through an innovative education delivery
process. Smart School is not just about ICT intervention in teaching and learning.
The others primary objectives of Smart School in Malaysia is:
1. To produce a knowledge society that is critical, creative and innovative.
2. To produce technology savvy individuals for the Information Age.
3. To bridge the digital divide.
4. To cultivate life-long learning based on ICT.

Characteristics of Smart School
Among the features that enable a school recognized as a smart school are:
1. A school that has a linked via a local area network (LAN) to enable information sharing.
For example teleconference, base data and electronic mail, electronic encyclopedias, library
catalogs and resource centers 'on-line' and administrative data.
2. A school that is linked via a wide area network (WAN). So, we can build a good
relationship between the other school and district organizations. This will give students the oppor
tunity tolearn and sharing knowledge with other people at the other school.
3. Schools with a diversity of materials where the smart school will can be adapted to the needs of
teachers, students and administrators with provides a variety of software applications for the
effectiveness of teaching and learning.
4. Integrating school subjects and concept learning across the curriculum expanded.

Challenges of Smart School
1. Lack of democratization in education
Students have no choice on what to learn and when to sit for exam. They don’t have enough
time to study and understand the lesson as they have different ability to learn.
2. Smart school hardware, software and courseware was found to be under utilized
Some teachers are not keen on using the courseware because they are lack of ICT knowledge.
They also not comfortable with the use of hardware and courseware. The teachers prefer
traditional way of teaching which is chalk and talk a waste of time.
3. Heavy investments on facilities
Government need to spend a lot for electronic facilities and new books. The cost and
maintenance fees for the facilities are high. Effective implementation of Smart Schools will
require: funding for the building of new schools with its entire multimedia infrastructure,
upgrading facilities in existing schools, teacher training institutions and maintenance of new
technology.
4. Teacher readiness to use and teach using technology (Lack of trainings)
Basically, problems faced by the old teachers who are not interested in the use of the
technology they are more comfortable with traditional methods that they use ever since.
Therefore, it affects teachers willing to use new technology to teach in the classroom. Onwards,
students are more ready to embrace the new ICT tools than the teachers because they are more
advance than teachers on using technology. Some teachers cannot teach effectively. New
teachers lack intensive training. Experienced teachers lack of ICT knowledge.

5. Easy access at school
The problem at the school is access to internet too slow due to many student and teachers use
at same time. So, it is not easy access to get information from the internet. The ICT facilities
be accessible the school session only.
6. Technical support or technician at computer lab
When the government has confidently provided the necessary ICT facilities in the computer
lab is certainly damage of facilities will occur. Therefore, each laboratory will need at least a
technologist if there is any problem. However, almost every school where there are no skilled
technician to solve this problem. Teachers at the school also do not have a skilled of ICT
knowledge to repair if there are any problems. Lack of manpower in handling the technical
problem is insufficient technicians provided by government.
7. Technological infrastructure in school
As we all know, there are some schools that do not have complete ICT equipment in
their schools. The problem is due to capital inadequate school to provide ICT equipment.
Mostly happen at rural school because they are far from the city so they are least of ICT
facilities. Compare to urban school that more advance and they complete all the ICT equipment
with computer lab. This problem such a big problem to teachers and student to achieve a goal
of smart schools due to inadequate facilities to them explore world of ICT.
8. Negative attitude of teachers
A teacher (especially senior teachers) has been blended with traditional methods and difficult
to adapt new instructional technology. Staff development program (courses) Did not involve
every staff.

9. Leadership and top management is The Key Ingredient.
The most challenges to build a smart school are top management such as Ministry of Education
that wants to improve our education system to be better and effective. So, they prefer to make
all school in this country to be smart school. But, how committed they are? They only just
make an instruction to teachers do as they said but they do not do any action to make sure all
goes smoothly. Teachers who should bear the burden of those afflicted. If smart schools is not
effective they are going to blame teachers but they do not make any action just hope the
teachers at school.
10. Lack of technological infrastructure and teaching materials in school in rural area
Limited internet connection is one of the challenge in the rural area. Limitation of
infrastructure, such as computer labs lead to ineffectiveness of technology supported teaching
and learning.

Conclusion
Smart school is planning to provide platform solid to form the next generation of Malaysian
nation and shaping the country's future development. The existence of a smart school is in line
with the development of information technology and communication (ICT), it is a scene in the new
millennium education in Malaysia and in accordance with the technological developments, social
and cultural present. Smart school in simply be defined as a system of education, where the based
teaching and learning for students with a more critical and creative ways to use technology as
enablers. ICT use as an ingredient in the process of teaching and learning is the heart of the smart
school. This approach is not limited in curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, teaching and learning,
but also in school management.
