In past decade, the use of ICT in schools increased exponentially.
However, ICT integration in teaching is still utilized at a low
level. While many ICT professional development programs for
teachers focus mainly on developing teachers' technical competency,
the effect of their attitude, perception and emotion towards ICT
integration is usually neglected. In this book, a social approach
to professional development of ICT integration is argued to be
important to improve ICT integration. A research was conducted to
look at issues of ICT integration from the teachers' perspective
and to explore the impact of peer support in enhancing ICT
professional development. Based on the research findings, this book
draws the focus on developing teachers' intrinsic motivation
towards ICT integration. Peer support is found to be an enabler of
intrinsic motivation. A sustainable peer support enhanced
professional development model is thus developed. This book should
help shed some light on developing ICT professional development
programs for teachers and should be especially useful to teachers,
professional developers and school leaders who want to lift ICT
integration to a higher level.
