Abstract

This study aims to determine the needs of teachers at proposed schools using the freedom of learning curriculum to acquire the foundational principles of its curriculum acquisition within the learning, namely critical thinking and adaptive learning. The study's data were obtained using qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, including a scale designed by the researcher to evaluate teachers' needs for students' critical thinking completion through adaptive learning and semi-structured interview forms. The participants were junior high school teachers who taught at phase D (class VII-IX, ages 13- 15) in the total number of 123 people. The data were collected by using likert scale questionnaire and analysed by applying coding and key concepts techniques.  According to the findings, they require a focused revision for the main principles covering; critical thinking (interpretation, analysis, assessment, inferences, evaluation, explanation, self-reflection, inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning) and adaptive learning (students' behaviour, knowledge, achievement, preferences, information resources, navigational structure, trail generation, contents selection, goal selection) on the highly needed level.

Abstract

Pre-service teachers’ attitudes influence their integration of technology into their inclusive practices, yet there is still a lack of research in academia assessing their level of attitudes. This study aimed to design an instrument to measure and investigate pre-service teachers’ attitudes toward integrating technology in inclusive education in Malaysia. One hundred and seventy-nine teacher trainees from a public university in Malaysia participated in this study. Two dimensions were identified through exploratory factor analysis, supported by a strong model fit in confirmatory factor analysis. Convergent validity was also satisfactory. Furthermore, all reliability coefficients exceeded 0.8. The outstanding reliability and validity of the instrument indicated its suitability for evaluating the attitudes of pre-service teachers. The results of the assessment showed that teachers’ attitudes were positive. Pre-service teacher training should be actively strengthened to promote the effective integration of technology in inclusive classroom.
