- 1. Title: Teachers adoption of knowledge management technologies and its impact on their k-sharing practices within a professional development context in Malaysia: An action research study Muhammad Khairiltitov Zainuddin (G0528917) Supervisor: Assoc Prof Dr Fauzan Noordin PhD Research Proposal Tuesday, 30 June, 2009
- 10. The Research Framework: RQ1-Toestablished initial beliefs RQ2-Why their action change? RQ4-How KMT change teacher practice (k-sharing) Representation & Action (Vaast & Walsham 2005) Research Objective 2 RQ1-Identify social condition & norms (prior conditions) RQ5-The external factor (motivating & barriers) Innovation-Decision Process Model - Diffusion of Innovation (Rogers, 2003) RQ2-Teachers initial beliefs, attitude, goals RQ3-How they change over time? RQ5-Internal factor(s). Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) (Zhao & Cziko, 2001) Research Objective 1

Editor's Notes
- (3 min) Explain the change in the research title. The earlier title does not sound academic and was strongly advice to change. The new title will reflect what the research is all about.
- (1 min)
- Technology adoption: The act of adoption which include the decision making process to adopt. One of the important research area in IS. KM Technologies (section 2.4, p. 10-11) : Just a special kind of information technology that support KM processes. A key component of KM systems. In this study limited to the web-based communication & collaborative technologies for teachers. K-sharing - Not define in the RP - will be added. Hew & Hara (2007). Empirical study of motivators & barriers of teacher online knowledge sharing. Educ Tech Research Dev, Vol. 55. Practices - refers to repeated activity, socially shared, that had become the norm in the community (Vaast & Walsham, p.68, citing Orlikowski, 2002). Professional development: Refers to the teachers professional development (TPD). I’m looking toward the alternative TPD that will empower the teachers to develop their competency themselves. Motivated from within not being enforce on to them. Action research: A valid research method in IS, employed to generate the data needed to answer the RQs.
- Framing the research: The research framework. 3 research philosophy: (1) Positivist, (2) Interpretive, (3) Critical (p. The philosophical basis of the research: The importance: As the basis to judge or evaluate the proposal and the research findings. An interpretive approach provide a deep insight into “the complex world of lived experience from the point of view of those who live it” (Schwandt, 1994, p. 118)
- I might need to rewrite the section on Research problem. Why? The research problem was based on the problematic. The real world problem. The research problem is not based on the theoretical framework. Based from the research purpose, “ To understand the problems & complexities of the process of introducing the KMT to teacher within the context of their professional development and how it changes the teachers k-sharing practices.”
- Note the changes from the RP submitted ( Section 1.4, p. 3), “ to understand the problems & complexities of the process of introducing the KMT to teacher within the context of their professional development.” Added above, “how it changes the teachers k-sharing practices.” 2 issues: (1) Motivation factors and barriers. The process of adoptions. The learning aspect. The teachers experiences. From the teachers perspective. What are their stories. What make them adopt the KMT.
- Why multiple theoretical perspective? One theory cannot explain the research problem (raised by the research questions).
- Numerous writing were published between 1991 (Jonsson S., and Peter Checkland) to 2001 (MacKay & Marshall, Edid Mumford) & others.
- Section 5.3 P. 41-42. (Very brief description)
- Section 5.5 P. 43-46.
- Credibility (QuantR - internal validity) - refers to the way in which the researcher presents the complexities of the context, participants and event of the research setting. It requires all of the above is adequately stated. Transferability (external validity) Dependability (reliability) Confirmability (objectivity)

- Zhao & Cziko (2001). Teacher Adoption of Technology: A Perceptual Control Theory Perspective. Journal of Technology and Teacher Education “ goal-oriented behavior, Perceptual Control Theory (PCT), as a framework for understanding teacher adoption of technology. Unlike other approaches that examine this issue by studying the external environment, this new framework attempts to understand teacher adoption of technology from the inside. It considers teachers' use of technology by examining the goals of teachers and how the use of technology might help or hinder their goals. While it is too early to provide systematic findings to show the usefulness of this application of PCT, we have used it here to interpret and synthesize the findings of a number of studies on teachers and technology.
