“…Using only three (of five) characteristics from the Diffusion Theory developed by Roger, 2003, the survey using questionnaires was done with 137 respondents
(72 students : 65 teachers) from Tsung Wah Secondary School in Kuala Kangsar District,
Perak Darul

from the Diffusion Theory in adopting Smart board as a T&L innovation tool.The statistical analysis indicates that three variables (
namely, (i) Knowledge of handling material, (ii) Time
management, and (iii) Technical support), have significant relationship towards the diffusion
of Smartboard.Finally, the findings also show that there is a significant difference of the
perception between the teachers and the students towards the implementation of Smart board in a classroom.However, the present study is limited to several limitations,

questionnaires is always subject to limited explanatory information.Thus, these lead for
future research of not only the full elements of Diffusion Theory are extended but also
combination of questionnaires to be followed with interviews.…”
