| Summary: | 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.
