Abstract

In the digital-revolutionary era, the role of teachers utilizing ICT-based learning resources in schools has become very important. However, it has become evident that its application is not always optimal. This can be the case in some schools in developing countries, possibly because of factors such as human resources, readiness, facilities, and regulations inherent in each educational institution. This research aims to describe teachers’ perspectives on ICT learning resources that have been used for the learning process. It is a qualitative, case study, involving a sample of seven teachers at the high-school level in Central Java and West Java, Indonesia. Data collection techniques include semi-structured interviews, followed by an interview guide as the data collection instrument. The interviews were analyzed thematically, in order to describe an overview of the issues that were commonly raised by the teachers during the data-collection process. The research results show that there are three themes that were often the main topics of discussion, namely motivation and readiness of teachers in utilizing ICT-based learning resources, teachers’ perspectives and resource support of the implementation of ICT-based learning resources, and the challenges that teachers faced when implementing ICT-based learning in the classroom. These findings have the potential to assist in the professional development of teachers in integrating ICT for dynamic and innovative learning in the digital era. © This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution- Noncommercial 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC 4.0)
