Computational thinking (CT) concepts are newly introduced concepts in the Malaysian curriculum. This study is therefore designed to investigate Malaysian teachers' perception on the integration of computational thinking skills in their teaching and learning practices. A survey form was designed based on the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) and was disseminated throughout Malaysia to gauge teachers' perception on CT based on the perceived usefulness of CT, perceived ease of CT integration into teaching and learning practices, teachers' attitude towards CT and their intention to use CT in their classrooms. A total of 166 primary school teachers participated in the survey and the data was analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). This study managed to predict Malaysian teachers' intention in integrating computational thinking skills in their classroom practices via two significant determinants, namely the perceived ease of integration and positive attitude towards computational thinking. This study is important because it highlights factors affecting teachers' perception on the newly improvised curriculum, and is an effort to support CT delivery in Malaysian classrooms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
