This document discusses the issues and challenges of integrating information and communication technology (ICT) into teaching and learning in Malaysian schools. It identifies three main challenges: 1) many teachers do not have sufficient skills to use ICT equipment, 2) schools face high costs of purchasing and maintaining ICT equipment, and 3) questions around whether ICT effectively enhances the learning process. It proposes solutions like providing teacher training, allocating budgets for equipment, and restricting student access to non-educational websites. The objective is to determine how to address these challenges and better integrate ICT into Malaysian classrooms.

1. Issues And Challenges in Integrating ICT in Teaching and Learning Process in Malaysian School
Title
Issues and challenges in integrating ICT in teaching and learning process in our Malaysian
schools.
Objective
To determine and find the solutions of the issues and challenges of using ICT in teaching and
learning process in our Malaysian schools.
Introduction
ICT has been used widely surround the world either in economy, social and others. In
order to make our students catch up with the current development, ICT has been integrated in
our education system.
Problem statements
There are three issues related to this problem which are the teachers do not have
enough skills to handle the ICT’s equipment properly, ICT can enhance teaching and learning
process effectively and the school will spent a lot of money on the ICT’s equipments.
Discussion
There are many challenges in integrating ICT into our education system. Firstly, the
school will spent a lot of money on the ICT’s equipment. ICT’s equipments use in teaching and
learning process like computer and liquid crystal display (LCD) are highly cost and really
sensitive to handle. Hence, they need to take a good care for all those ICT’s equipments to
avoid it from damaged. This is because they had to spend a large amount of money not only
when they buy it but also in getting their service. To solve this problem, the government needs
to offer some help in finance and place a professional teacher or technicians who is expert
about the ICT’s tools in every school.
Secondly, not all the teachers have enough skills in handling the ICT’s equipments. For
the former teacher who was born in era 1970’s, they might not have enough skill to use the ICT
equipment compared to the teachers who were born in the era of 1990. So, to solve this
problem, the government had send the teachers who have poor skill in handling the ICT’s
equipments to participate in the ‘training in service’ or LDP in order to improve their skills so that
they can manage their teaching and learning process better.

Thirdly, the ability of ICT to enhance the quality of teaching and learning process
effectively. Actually, the teacher will decide either the ICT help or not. Nowadays, teachers are
using ICT in their lesson in order to motivate their students to learn and to stay on-task. The
positive aspect of this lesson is the most students appear to be more concentrate on their tasks
and working perfectly. However, sometimes students use the computers for other things like
playing games or open ridiculous website. Besides, in finishing the essay or task most student
just copying the data or information in the internet and in other words, there is no independent
learning. So, the school administration needs to block the website which is not related so that
they can give full attention in their learning process.
Conclusion
As conclusion, as a teacher we need to be fully prepared ourselves by mentally and
physically in order to face all the challenges in education world especially in integrating ICT in
teaching and learning process.
