This study explores collaborative teacher growth through the lens of Digital Learning Agility (DLA) and its impact on teaching practices and professional development. Using qualitative methods and thematic analysis, the research highlights how fostering collaboration among educators can enhance instructional approaches and student outcomes, ultimately creating a supportive and innovative educational environment.

This qualitative study explores the definition and essential components of computational thinking (CT) within the Malaysian educational context. Through semi- structured interviews with educational technology experts, the research delves into the nuanced understanding of CT, considering its adaptation to the local educational landscape and its broader applicability beyond technical skills. The findings reveal that CT in Malaysia is defined as a problem-solving methodology emphasizing inclusivity and thinking, as guided by the Malaysian Ministry of Education (MOE). Essential of CT identified by experts align with MOE's framework and encompass abstraction, decomposition, pattern recognition, algorithms, logical reasoning, and evaluation. This approach equips students with skills for a computational world and strengthens their critical thinking. The study concludes that integrating CT by focusing on these key skills can enhance students' problem-solving abilities and support national progress. Limitations include the study's focus on educational technology experts. potentially excluding broader educator perspectives, and variations in CT adaptation across regions. Future research should include diverse educator viewpoints and longitudinal studies to assess CT instruction's long-term impact and effectiveness.

To better understand the dimensions of digital learning agility among teachers, a qualitative study was carried out by analyzing semi-structured interviews with three in-service teachers from Selangor, Malaysia. By thematic analysis, this preliminary study has revealed nine dimensions that shapes the Malaysian teachers’ digital learning agility including speed, flexibility, experimenting, performance risk-taking, interpersonal risk-taking, information gathering, collaborating, feedback seeking, and reflecting. Overall, this study shed insights to the existing body of knowledge of learning enablers that might assist in shaping teachers’ digital learning agility

Gathering information is essential to enhancing teachers' digital learning agility. By gathering data, teachers can stay abreast of the latest digital technologies and tools, acquire new skills, and improve their teaching practices. This preliminary study explores the role of gathering information in supporting teachers’ digital learning agility. The preliminary study employed a qualitative research approach, using semi- structured interviews to collect data from three teachers. The findings reveal that teachers gather information related to student learning and digital technologies to improve their teaching practices and support their students' digital learning. The study highlights the importance of information gathering in enhancing teachers' digital learning agility and provides insights for the development of policies and initiatives aimed at facilitating the improvement of teachers' digital learning agility.

Google Classroom (GC) has become a prominent online learning platform in Malaysia since the government’s official announcement and later sees its boost in usage again during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the implementation of emergency remote teaching. The literature has unveiled that the mean score pertaining to technological knowledge in the context of GC usage was the lowest. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the level of GC use and the significant influence of facilitating conditions, habit, and behavioural intention on GC use behaviour among Malaysian teachers. A total of 37 secondary school teachers participated in an online quantitative survey consisting of 22 five-point Likert scale items. Descriptive statistics and standard regression analysis were used to analyse the data. Findings found that the extent of agreement and utilisation of GC during the pandemic were only moderate, requiring increased focus as a precautionary measure for potential future scenarios, such as another pandemic, where remote learning becomes the sole viable option. Results also suggested habit (β = 1.128, p < .0005) as the most significant factor that influences Malaysian teachers’ GC use behaviour. Thus, future initiatives in boosting the intentions of using GC among Malaysian teachers need to be considered.

Digitally agile teachers are capable to deal with new experience flexibly and rapidly by trying new behaviors and making quick adjustment so that learning can take place even they have constraints especially in using technologies. Flexible teachers are capable to adjust their plan on the fly and make changes to suit current demand. This preliminary study explores the role of flexibility in supporting teachers’ digital learning agility. The study employed qualitative approach with three in-service teachers through semi-structured interviews. Findings suggest that flexibility helped teachers to become digitally agile by developing more effective and strategic behaviors to overcome difficulties in online learning. This study emphasizes the value of flexibility in enhancing teachers' digital learning agility and offers suggestions for personal and professional development.

Malaysia will need one million STEM workers by the year 2020 and eight million workers with STEM skills by 2050. However, Malaysia is suffering from STEM talent depletion due to lack of interest in STEM among students. The Ministry of Education thus implemented various changes to its education system to instil STEM interest among students and introduced STEM programmes and strategies to increase students’ participation in STEM in Malaysia. Therefore, this study aimed to examine students’ career interest and their perception on whether STEM programmes and strategies would enable them to choose a career in STEM. A total of 204 Form Four STEM stream students from Perak, Selangor and Federal State of Kuala Lumpur participated in this study. The data was analysed using MANOVA, followed by ANOVA. The results from MANOVA revealed that there was a statistically significant difference across the states in students’ career interest at p = .02 and their perception on STEM programmes and strategies at p = .01. The findings of this study could be considered for enhancement of STEM initiatives to support STEM education in Malaysia.

This paper centers on the impact of laptop use on the professional development of teachers. Three hundred and eighty six secondary school teachers from 28 selected schools participated in the survey. These teachers were currently teaching Science and Mathematics, and were provided laptop as part of the Teaching and Learning of Science and Mathematics in English, or better known by its Malay acronym PPSMI programme. Teachers’ professional development was measured in three dimensions: teaching-learning, administrative practice and use of resources. The analysis revealed that the use of laptop has a moderate impact on the overall teachers’ professional development.

The Malaysian Ministry of Education granted each Mathematics and Science teacher with a laptop. The integration of laptop needs strong support from the school administrators to successfully implement it. Therefore, this quantitative study was carried out to explore how teachers perceived the support of administrators in the integration of laptops in the teaching-learning process. Respondents were 38 secondary school teachers from the state of Selangor, Malaysia. The overall perception of the teachers on the administrators support was reported as satisfying. More than half of the teachers (56.5%) agreed that they received administrators support in integrating the laptops in the teaching-learning process and only a small percentage of the teachers (17.5%) disagreed that they received adequate support by the administrators.
