Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The integration of technology in teaching and facilitation (PdPc) is a practice that is often debated by scholars due to its potential impact on students' learning.Relevant policies are being implemented in Malaysia's educational system but past studies have found some existing gaps such as the level of technology leadership is still uncertain, teachers still lack the knowledge and skills to integrate technology in PdPc, and there is a lack of research on the relationship between technology leadership and teachers' technology integration, especially studies that utilised the International Society for Technology in Education Standards for Education Leaders (ISTE-EL) model.Therefore, this concept paper aims to discuss the concept, models, issues, and research suggestions on technology leadership and teachers' technology integration in Malaysia.Schools need visionary technology leaders and teachers who are competent in Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) to achieve educational goals through technology.The discussion in this concept paper is expected to assist future researchers in making informed decisions when conducting research related to this topic so that policymakers in the Malaysian Ministry of Education (MOE) will have relevant and meaningful data for future educational policy planning.
