Then, data reduction was used to analyse the data from in-depth interview. The result demonstrates that the discrepancy occur between teachers’ perception and the observed implementation in the classroom. The teachers perceive themselves as creative, however the observational set data indicate that their teaching mostly focus on using conventional media, deductive learning, teacher centre technique, monotonous teaching activity, using same media in every meeting, rarely conducting innovative activity and integrating the contextual problem as learning material in the class. Their teaching also mainly focused on offline learning and printed media. In addition, they were also hardly found to show effort to redesign old media to be unique and creating attractive activities in the class.]]>
