School Leaders Support towards the Use of Frog VLE Application among Islamic Education Teachers

Abstract

School leaders play an important role in transforming schools towards excellence in education. The application of Frog VLE is one of the educational transformations introduced to nearly 10,000 schools in Malaysia. However, the use of this application is still at a low level based on scientific studies carried out by the researchers. In this regard, this study was conducted to evaluate the support of school leaders towards the readiness of Islamic Education teachers towards the use of Frog VLE applications in schools, especially primary schools. This study conducted quantitative method using observation and questionnaire instruments. A total number of 367 respondents completed their questionnaire and analyzed through SPSS 23.0. The results showed that the support level of school leaders was high at mean = 3.82 and standard deviation = 0.29. The findings also found significant correlation between the support of school leaders and the willingness of Islamic education teachers at r = 0.37. Hence, it is recommended that school leaders need to increase the encouragement level in the form of motivation, monitoring and activating the Islamic Education teachers to use Frog VLE frequently, so that this application will be consistent and expanded.
