Technology integration in teaching and learning activities has become one of the debatable issues among educators in recent years, especially since many countries have invested a large portion of their yearly budgets on technologies in education. As one of the developing countries, Malaysia has also spent millions and planned many programs and strategies to increase the technology integration level of teachers in schools. Despite that, the level of technology integration among teachers in Malaysia still needs a lot of improvement, especially in teachers' attitudes. This study examined English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers’ attitudes towards the use of technology in the teaching of English at secondary schools in Sabah. This is crucial to assist in planning for any future programs or trainings by the relevant authorities. The study applied quantitative method and used cluster sampling to choose participants which comprised 100 of ESL secondary school teachers in Sabah Findings of the study disclosed that ESL secondary school teachers in Sabah have positive beliefs and attitudes towards technology integration.

Traditionally, teachers used to determine the learning of the students, they only decide about the knowledge and skills that need to be taught to the students but there has been a paradigm shift with the advent of new digital mediums. Now learning has evolved into a learning-centered, self-directed, social, peer-to-peer, inquiry-based and cooperative approach to education. ICT revolutionized learning for students and teachers. It has provided immense opportunities from connecting with people, accessing information, to availability of volumes of open educational resources. Education has transformed from pedagogy to new approaches like open pedagogy, self-education i.e., Peeragogy. No doubt these approaches will prove to be sustainable with the global health crises going on. Thus, this paper aims to recognize secondary school teachers’ technological acceptability and to investigate their preparation for Peeragogy and Open pedagogy. Data was collected through a Google form from 96 secondary school teachers from 22 Indian schools, and descriptive statistics were used to examine the results. The findings revealed that the secondary school teachers are quite enthusiastic about integrating technology in education and employing peeragogy and open pedagogy in their classrooms. This study on secondary school teachers’ attitudes towards technology, their readiness for Peeragogy and Open pedagogy, and the problems they experience is expected to offer educators with relevant information for future research.

Teachers Attitudes

This study aims to evaluate secondary school teachers' attitudes towards technology in terms of various variables. The study attempts to reveal attitudes of teachers towards technology and influence of some variables like gender, self-efficacy, branch, in-service training and the level of education. Technology is becoming more widespread and important in education. The Ministry of National Education (MEB) started the Movement to Increase Opportunities and Technology (FATIH) project. FATIH project is one of the most comprehensive projects developed around the world in order to benefit from technological developments and to have a contemporary human resource. When the studies done in the field of education and technology are examined, it can be seen that they are generally focused on adaptation of technology and students' perspectives. However, a change without teachers is not possible even with technological developments. Thus, attitudes and approaches of secondary school teachers towards technology are gaining importance since students see teachers as their role models in their most critical period of development. For this reason, it is important to evaluate secondary school teachers' attitudes towards technology in terms of some variables. In this study, the general survey model was used. The population of the study was secondary school teachers working in Sivas during the 2017-2018 academic year. The sample of the study consisted of 200 secondary school teachers and they were selected randomly. In this study, the Scale for Pre-Service Teachers' Attitudes towards Technology, developed by Aydın and Karaa (2013) and consisting of 17 items, and Personal Information Form (PIF), developed by the researcher himself by consulting expert opinions, have been used to collect data. SPSS 25 package program has been used in the analysis of the data. Arithmetic mean, t-test and ANOVA analysis methods have been carried out in the analysis of the data.

The chapter aimed to examine the relationship of leadership styles and attitude towards organizational change among 360 secondary school teachers in Selangor. Statistical analysis techniques, namely, mean and standard deviation, Pearson product moment correlation, and multiple regression analysis, were used. Findings indicated that although teachers perceived the leadership styles of their principals were only at the moderate level, teachers showed a high level of positive attitude towards organizational change. There were positive relationships between principals' leadership styles and teachers' attitudes towards organizational change. The results also revealed that 11.8% of the variance of attitude towards organizational change is explained by transformational leadership style. Hence, transformational leadership style has an influence on the teachers' attitudes towards organizational change. The practical implications of these findings were discussed to provide insights for the improvement on leadership practices towards organizational change in the secondary schools in Malaysia.

This paper analyses the pattern of responses of a representative sample of 841 Western Australian secondary school teachers to the Kerlinger Education Scale VII. The analysis shows clearly the two dimensional factor structure commonly postulated, with one factor bringing together the “progressive” educational referents, and the other bringing together the “traditional” educational referents. Interesting bivariate relationships, some of which may challenge conventional stereotypes, occur between scores on these orthogonal factors, and background variables of the teachers and situational variables of the schools. Not surprisingly, however, only a small proportion of the variation between teachers in progressivism and traditionalism can be accounted for by such variables.
