Abstract :
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has a great potential for enriching learning experience especially in early childhood education. The need to integrate ICT at preschool level has become greater. The teacher as a mediator influences the use of ICT in teaching and learning. The aim of the research is to investigate teachers´ attitudes toward use of ICT and examine whether there are a relationship between teachers´ attitude with teachers´ background. Descriptive analysis was used to determine the teachers´ attitudes toward the use of ICT. Correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between teachers´ attitude and teachers´ background. This result from this research will contributes to the body of knowledge regarding teachers´ attitudes with ICT usage. Further research in this field is very important since Malaysia wants to make the utilization of ICT in preschool as a culture.
