The document discusses the issues and challenges of integrating information and communication technology (ICT) into teaching and learning in Malaysian schools. Key challenges include disparities in ICT infrastructure between urban and rural schools, lack of teacher training in developing online materials, electricity supply issues, lack of time for teachers to prepare ICT-based lessons, and technical problems with computers, servers and other devices. However, the document also notes advantages such as ICT helping to make lessons more engaging for students, increasing student creativity, facilitating two-way communication, and making academic management easier.

3. CHALLENGES AND ISSUES
1) To achieve a consistent level of ICT infrastructure in schools.
• There continues to be enormous disparity in the level of ICT availability and in the
level of ICT use in schools, especially between schools in rural areas and schools in
urban areas.
• The issue of lack of Internet connectivity is a particular challenge
• At the current rate of development of connectivity, it is unlikely that the
infrastructure will be in place in time to connect all schools to the Internet - rural
area

4. CHALLENGES AND ISSUES
2 ) Teachers are not trained to create and implement teaching materials
themselves.
• Teachers is that using the courseware simply means assigning a topic for
students to learn or search without any guidelines.
• Some teachers feel they can teach more content and make students
understand better by using traditional chalk and talk method.
3 ) Breakdown of electricity supply
• Enough energy supply needed to turn on the computer if all teachers and
students turn on the computer in one time, the energy will breakdown because
the energy supply is not enough.

5. CHALLENGES AND ISSUES
4 ) Time factor
• The teachers complained that the free time was too short for them to prepare their
lesson using ICT – surfing, skimming ,selecting.
• If have technical problem during lesson, take time to solve.
5 ) When teachers use the electronic management system-SSMS-use in writing reports,
taking attendance, setting timetables and preparing lesson plans
• If a server breaks down, the teachers could not get access to SMSS- teacher will
frustrated.

6. CHALLENGES AND ISSUES
6 ) Malfunction of computer, server, router and LCD.
• Although technicians were positioned in all these schools, the frequent technical
malfunction had imposed problem to teachers.
• It will take a long time to settle this problem.
7 ) Updating and correction process take a long time.
• It because courseware developers for the Ministry of Education assign their
intellectual property rights and copyright to the Government.

7. ADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATING ICT IN
SCHOOL
• Our generation nowadays love to learn by using
interactive materials from internet rather than reading
books and listening to lecture.
• Teachers can access a lot of exercises and questions
from internet.
Help in preparing new,
interesting and challenging
materials for teaching
• Use computer’s software to do their presentation slides,
browsing some interesting materials, make video that
related to their subjects.
• Eg : Microsoft PowerPoint, Windows Movie Maker.
Increase students
creativity

8. ADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATING ICT IN
SCHOOL
Make two ways
communications
become easier
• Through presentations and video calls
Make the
academic
management
become easier
• Classrooms’ teachers has no longer to ask students’
marks from other teachers where they can obtain them
