“…As seen above, ICT is very prominent as it provides lots of medium for the teachers and the students to explore and enhance the teaching and learning process. ICT is seen as a skill for life, now as important as being literate and numerate (Simmons & Hawkins, 2009). This implies that one without the ICT skill is a person who is left behind and needs to adapt to the changes.…”

Literature Component has been part of the English Syllabus in Malaysian secondary schools level since the year 2000. Previous researches have proven that teaching Literature component is not easy as teachers still rely heavily on the conventional methods like discussing plot, characters, theme, setting and moral values of the texts. With the advancement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), this study is meant to explore the teachers and students' usage of ICT and their attitudes towards ICT in teaching and learning of Literature component. The study involves 58 Form 5 students and 33 English teachers in Kapit district, a rural area in Sarawak, Malaysia. The study revealed that ICT is used on the satisfactory level by the teachers as well as the students. In addition, both the students and the teachers possessed high positive attitudes towards the use of ICT tools in Literature lesson and the component itself. However, the implementation and usage do not demonstrate the attitude. To conclude, more actions should be taken to encourage wider usage of ICT in the teaching and learning of Literature component.

“…It can apply and operate ICT to enrich studying and instructing in the classroom and workshop. ICT significantly impacts increasing learners' innovation and motivation [40], improving education and training in vocational teaching [41].

Teacher competency standards are the main guidelines for assessing the initial academic qualification of teachers. The basis for the assessment of teacher performance is the sustainable development of their professional career. This research reassesses teachers' competency standards in vocational high schools (VHSs) to sufficiently explain the competence in teaching tailored to the needs of the industrial world. This research aims at an assessment structure established on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to assess such competency standards for VHS teachers steadily to assess such competency standards for VHS teachers. The assessment model is classified into four critical criteria, namely: 1) pedagogical competency, 2) professional competency, 3) vocational competency, and 4) technological competency. These criteria are further accumulated into 21 sub-criteria to gauge the efficacy of teacher competency standards. This finding shows that the pedagogical competencies are the most important in this research. Thus, this study's novelty is seen in developing two key aspects: a more detailed explanation of sub-competencies and competencies to enhance Indonesia's skilled teachers' competency levels.

This is due to the changes that occur in ICT as asserted by [5] that it is an ever-changing subject. Similarly, both education and technology are evolving through the changes in the dependency of mobile learning [6].…”

We cannot deny the significant influence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in one’s lives. The impact is highly acknowledged, and the education field is at no exception. The advancement of ICT has indirectly affected students and their learning process. However, there lies a question as to how much undergraduate students utilise ICT in their daily lives. Are they prone to using it for recreational as compared to the educational purpose? Thus, this study aims to fathom undergraduate students’ perspectives in regard to their ICT usage, perceived ICT competencies, perceptions of ICT, and attitudes towards ICT. In addition, the difference based on gender factor was also investigated besides the correlation between the variables. This quantitative study employed a questionnaire as the research instrument and open-ended questions to unearth the respondents’ views concerning the issue. 283 undergraduate students were involved in this study. The findings showed mixed results pertaining to the elements investigated. In detail, the respondents asserted that ICT is synonymous with their undergraduate lives as it equips them with the necessary skills for their prospective careers. However, few elements need to be rectified and solidified to meet the expectation of ICT. This is crucial as it may inform the higher authority the current state of ICT cognizance and usage among the higher learning institutions students
