E-learning includes a range of electronic devices and the Internet has been widely used in Malaysian schools for delivering the content, the interaction between teachers and students, and facilitating the process of teaching and learning. The role of e-learning is not only means of a communication tool to support education but also enables the integration of the Internet, computers, phones, videos, radio and other technologies while helping teachers to implement virtual teaching. However, little research has been conducted on e-learning integration that highlights principal approaches as a manager and key advocates in implementing e-learning integration in a school, especially in Malaysia. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the role of a principal in supporting e-learning integration in a school participating in the School Transformation Program 2025 (TS25). This study used a qualitative approach by using an in-depth interview for the method of data collection. A few problems with the use of e-learning as a communication tool to support teaching and learning among the participants, namely, teachers were failed to comply with the schools' regulations and insufficient Internet access. The study also found the school managed to resolve problems either the help of the government or the initiative of the school's principal and stakeholder via the government encouragement to the use of Google Classroom. Teachers quickly learn the use of Google Classroom because it's accessible with little data usage. Besides, the School A initiative installed a network balancer enhanced Internet accessibility. This tool will average the speed of each device while at school. The most influential school's stakeholder is the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) and school alumni, which have contributed by reducing financial constraints and provide expertise to help the teachers understand the specific field. This study can be a guideline for other schools in planning e-learning integration strategies for student success.
Abstrak
E-pembelajaran yang merangkumi rangkaian peranti elektronik dan Internet telah digunakan secara meluas di sekolah-sekolah di Malaysia untuk penyampaian kandungan, interaksi di antara guru dan pelajar, dan memudahkan proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Peranan e-pembelajaran bukan sahaja sebagai alat komunikasi untuk memberi sokongan dalam pendidikan, tetapi juga membolehkan integrasi Internet, komputer, telefon, video, radio dan teknologi lain sekali gus membantu guru dalam melaksanakan pengajaran maya. Bagaimanapun, hanya terdapat beberapa kajian yang dibuat berkaitan integrasi e-pembelajaran yang mengetengahkan pendekatan pengetua sebagai pengurus dan penyokong utama dalam melaksanakan pengintegrasian e-pembelajaran di sekolah terutama di Malaysia. Oleh itu, tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk memahami pendekatan seorang pengetua bagi menyokong pengintegrasian e-pembelajaran di sebuah sekolah yang terpilih bagi program sekolah transformasi. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan temu bual untuk kaedah pengumpulan data. Terdapat beberapa masalah dalam penggunaan e-pembelajaran sebagai alat komunikasi untuk menyokong pengajaran dan pembelajaran di kalangan peserta kajian, seperti guru gagal mematuhi peraturan sekolah dan akses Internet yang tidak mencukupi. Kajian ini mendapati pihak sekolah berjaya menyelesaikan masalah mereka sama ada bantuan dari pihak kerajaan ataupun inisiatif dari pengetua dan pihak berkepentingan sekolah itu sendiri, melalui usaha kerajaan menggalakkan penggunaan Google Classroom. Guru belajar dengan cepat penggunaan Google Classroom kerana ia boleh diakses dengan penggunaan data yang sedikit. Selain itu, inisiatif Sekolah A memasang network balancer meningkatkan capaian Internet. Alat ini akan menyamaratakan kelajuan bagi setiap device selagi berada di sekolah. Pemegang taruh sekolah yang banyak menyuntik dana adalah Persatuan Ibu bapa Guru (PIBG) dan alumni sekolah di mana mereka telah menyumbang dengan mengurangkan kekangan kewangan dan menyediakan kepakaran bagi membantu guru-guru memahami bidang-bidang tertentu. Kajian ini boleh menjadi satu rujukan bagi sekolah lain dalam merancang strategi pengintegrasian e-pembelajaran bagi keberhasilan pelajar.
