Abstract (2. Language):
This study examined the perceptions, effectiveness,
and problems faced by teachers in the use of information and
communications technology (ICT) in teaching and learning of
Chinese language in schools and teachers’ views and interests
on ICT courses. The Instructional Design Model by Dick and
Carey (1990) was modified as a conceptual framework of this
study to develop a questionnaire. The sample consisted of 549
teachers in Chinese National Primary schools (SJK(C),
National Secondary Schools (SMK/SMJK), and Chinese
Private Independent Schools in Johor, Selangor, Penang and
Sabah. One-way ANOVA analysis shows that the state, school
type, level of computer skills, and the frequency of teachers
using ICT in teaching and learning of Chinese produce
significant differences between respondents in ICT usage in
teaching and learning of Chinese language in general. Teachers
who are more skilled were found to be more effective in
application of ICT teaching and delivery of Chinese language.
To enhance the use of ICT, then ICT courses must be widely
introduced to the Chinese language teachers, and not just
focused on teachers of English, science and mathematics only.
