Abstract

Over the century, technology has shown to be one of the important tools for advancement in education. An exemplar in the development of technology in education can be seen in the usage of Graphic Calculator (GC). Most of the developed country is implementing the usage of GC and a positive achievement is recorded. Although Malaysia also started implementing GC, but there are factors that hinders the full implementation. As the teachers are the key personnel of teaching and learning, the purpose of this study is to determine and understand the factors affecting teachers in using GC in their lessons. A qualitative study by face to face interview was carried out among 6 teachers from school. These teachers were chosen using purposive sampling. Content of interview was examined using thematic analysis. Based on the analysis, five factors from teachers were derived which are: 1) lack of knowledge, 2) no exposure, 3) not interested, 4) negative assumption and 5) extra workload. Hence it can be concluded that teachers also contribute to the limiting factor in the usage of GC in education. Implications and suggested further studies are discussed.
