Challenges in Integrating ICT in Learning and Teaching

Malaysia today, used the technology of ICT  in the process of teaching and learning in schools and make used of ICT as one of the component in educational systems. Unfortunately, there are many  issues that intercorparated with this ICT applications in the process of teaching and learning. The one of the issues that related in integrating ICT in teaching and learning in our Malaysian school is the teachers itself does not have enough skill and knowledge about the tools that they used in integrating ICT in teaching process and the some  students not interested in using ICT. So, the interesting way of teaching The teachers also failed to integrated the ICT in the cocuriculum.  In this cases, the teachers assume that the usage of ICT in teaching and learning process is wasting the time. This is because the process of set up the tools such as computer, LCD, projectors and others tool required a proper time to managed it. We cannot blamed the teachers, because the preparation for this tools is actually managed by technician but most school nowadays is not provided the technician. Some teachers also liked to used the old method or traditional approaches in teaching process and phobic in using the ICT application. In addition, integrating ICT in teaching and learning process have limited the role of teacher in classroom. The teachers be the coordinator that monitor the activities of students in class. The students not interested in using ICT in their learning process. This is due to the applications of ICT in their daily life is more related to the games, not to the educational process. The students not interested in the way of learning in using ICT because they found that using ICT is so complicated and make the lesson more difficult to understand. This situation happened because the teacher not have enough skill and ability  in teaching and the students that received the lesson cannot understand the topics when integrating the ICT in learning process.

The another  issues is about the facilities and equipment in order to integrating the ICT in teaching and learning process. some of the Malaysians school is not fully provided by the ICT equipments mainly in rural area. The lacking of the facilities in school limited the process of integrating the ICT among the students. The rural school do not have facilities and equipments due to the distances and management of the school that do not aware about this facilities. The example of facilities that not completed which is the schoolnet connection is always erratic, the computers labolatory  in not enough and the poor maintenences, the facilities for teachers which is PC or notebook is limited.  The lacking of the ICT component actually limited the process of teaching and learning. The limited facilities unable the teachers to apply the application in their teaching and consequently the students feel bored and cannot understand the fully lesson.

 Those issues have been research since the the process of integrating the ICT in teaching and learning process. this issues also being a tough challenges to the teachers, student and educational administer to achieved the objective and goal of integrating the ICT in teaching and learning process.
