 What is mean by Smart School
The Malaysian Smart School is a learning institution that has been
systematically reinvented in terms of teaching-learning practices and
school management in order to prepare students to cope and leverage on
the Information Age
The teaching and learning environment comprises 4 components:
Curriculum, Pedagogy, Assessment and Teaching and learning materials.
 Lack of Facility

Issue and
Challenge

Negative
Students lack of
attitude of
knowledge
teachers
 Lack of Facility

Lack of technological infrastructure and teaching materials

Especially in rural area
The systems are not up to date
Some of the newer courseware provided to the school
cannot be used on the older computer
Sometimes there is not enough computers and not enough
courseware
Lack of technical expertise to maintain the systems
Cost of maintenance is too high
Limited internet coverage
It takes a long time just to open the
computer
Negative attitude of teachers
Some of teachers still not ready to change their
mindset,-they think using computer is waste their time
maybe because the processor takes longer time and
slow when they use the software in class.
Difficult to adapt to new environments

Prefer more traditional way to teach in the classroom

Lack ICT knowledge and not comfortable with the use of

hardware and courseware.

Lack exposure in using technology

Lack proper guide to use

It is a burden for teachers to implement

teaching using the technologies that

were provided to them.
 Students
Students nowadays are passive
Unknowledgeable and not well informed in technology and
ICT especially in rural area
Lot of computers broke down because the students do not
know how to use it - ex: the students turn off the plug
without shut down the computers

Loves to play games in computer rather than learning

They secretly playing games when the teacher gives them
an ample time to do their homework via computers

Some of the students prefer to learn in traditional way

Feel that learning process using the whiteboard/blackboard
is more effective and easy.
HOW TO ADRESS THEM
Replaced and upgraded the computer and provided better
coordination between the various agencies involved in the smart
school
Each school need to have a system integration engineer who has a
broad range of skills including software and hardware engineering
and interface protocols.
Making lesson plans in advance, thinking through projects and
owning a personal calendar can help in this kind of situations.
The teacher needs to be a careful mix of intensive training and
counselling to help teachers adapt to the new environment
The teachers should implement their teaching with a lot of games as
it is equivalent to the 21st century education
Students have become accustomed to new technologies and are
always eager to learn new skills and discover fun activities.
CCTV need to be installed in the computer laboratory to ensure the
students do not play during learning process
