The objective of this study is to manage the professional development of teachers in implementing Information Technology into the curriculum. This started with the administration of a computer attitude scale and a questionnaire to find out the computer background of the teachers.

The problems faced by the teachers were mainly computer anxiety and a feeling of inadequacy due to a lack of training in the use of IT for curriculum lessons. The solutions to the problems were approached by sending the teachers for the scheduled training conducted by the ETD/MOE, and conducting one-to-one interview with a few of the teachers to find what are the problems faced by them and to give them the required confidence and motivation. A qualitative study was conducted because of the number of teachers in the sample and the nature of the background data and results obtained.

The pre and post study results of the computer attitude scale showed an improvement in the attitude and perceptions of the teachers. This confirms the results from other studies that promote teacher training as the key method to teacher development. This study is appropriate and timely with the IT initiative currently being implemented in all schools by the MOE.
