"Teachers adoption of knowledge management technologies (KMT) within a professional development context in Malaysia: An action research study"
The locations of the 5 K-Perak E-Learning Cluster (KPEC) schools. Ipoh, Setiawan, Gerik, Kuala Kangsar and Taiping. Their distances from each other are from 30 km to 100 km apart. I have established rapport with these school since late 2007. How ever at that time I was not sure that they will be my participating schools. Three schools are primary and two are secondary.
"Teachers adoption of knowledge management technologies (KMT) within a professional development context in Malaysia: An action research study" is my new approved title of my research.
"Introducing Knowledge Management Technologies to Teachers Professional Development: An Action Research Study." (The proposed old title)
The new approved title, "Teachers adoption of KM technologies within a professional development context in Malaysia: An action research study." (approved on 30th June, 2009)
This study focuses on the problems of introducing Knowledge Management (KM) Technologies to groups of teachers with the objective to help them in their professional development. I have chosen the action research path for this study for a number of reasons, which I will address later in other section of this blog. The research locality (site) is in 5 schools in Perak, a state in Malaysia, but it can expand to other schools if needed. My respected visitors, you are all welcome to make comments or questions regarding my work. Thank you.
