Issues and Challenges of Technology Leadership in the Use of ICT Practices in Teachers' Teaching

Abstract

Technology is one of the most important elements in 21st Century Learning (PAK21) and also in the field of educational management and administration. However, previous studies have shown that technological skills among school staff are still at a low level. This concept paper discusses the issue of technology usage in schools, focusing on ICT readiness among teachers, changes in teachers' roles, access to infrastructure and support, as well as ICT security issues. In addition, this paper elaborates on several challenges faced from the perspectives of school administrators, teachers, students, parents, and the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE). Furthermore, this concept paper discusses the roles of school leaders, teachers, and MOE in implementing ICT in 21st-century education. In conclusion, all parties in education need to be more aware of technological developments and be prepared to make changes, including fostering a culture of technology in schools.
