The integration of technology in teaching and learning is essential in the development of any nation. It is one of the key areas that the Malaysian government has identified in its plans and policies to digitize and globalize education. Malaysia's National Education Blueprint 2013 however reported that 80% of school teachers in Malaysia use Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for less than one (1) hour each week, and students perceive that teachers are not regular ICT users. This study measures the level of resistance of technology use among educators in institutions of higher learning in Malaysia. A review of past research found many studies using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Usage of Technology (UTAUT) as a model to measure user intention and behavior. UTAUT was consistently cited in its ability explain factors related to technology usage and acceptance. Thus, UTAUT was adopted and the items reversed. This study presents the conceptual idea pertaining to validating the instrument by reversed items. Future research will involve a larger number of respondents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
