Abstract

Despite the technology included in the National Preschool Standard-based Curriculum, teachers in Malaysian preschool are yet to fully integrate technology to enhance children’s learning in the classroom. Concerns such as how the preschool teacher perceived the easiness of technology integration became our main focus in this study. It is believed that teachers’ acceptance and readiness influenced the outcomes of the technology used in teaching and learning pre-schoolers. This study employed a quantitative approach and data collection through a survey to investigate the teacher’s perception towards technology integration in the preschool settings based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A total of 50 teachers in this survey were selected through random sampling from eight private preschools in Bandar Puteri, Puchong. Nevertheless, only 30 questionnaires were returned by the teachers. The survey was done through a questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale. The data has been collected and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) to get the frequencies, percentages, and means of the teachers’ perception of technology integration in teaching and learning. This study found that teachers aged 30 to 39 have the highest perception of technology integration in teaching and learning, and Science and Technology is the most suitable area to teach children with technology.
