This dissertation aims at investigating teachers' perception of ICT integration into the
school and its implications for change. The main focus is on how teachers perceive
the use of ICT in teaching and learning, and how teacher professionals, school
leadership and school culture affect teachers' perceptions.
This is a case study of the researcher's school, employing qualitative methods to 4 participating interviewees in the school. The characteristics of this method are to study through the native perspectives.
The Case Study suggested 3 factors which are important to sustain teacher’s willingness to integrate ICT into their school,
1. continuous professional development opportunities
2. collegiality and collaboration
3. supportive leadership
Research questions:
Question 1. How do teachers perceive the use of ICT in teaching and learning?
Question 2. How does teacher professional development affect teachers' perceptions?
Question 3. How does school leadership affect teachers' perceptions?
Question 4. How does school culture affect teachers' perceptions?
The significance of the study is to provide some possible suggestions for educators to implement any new policies in schools in the future. It is also hoped that the findings may be helpful to teachers, schools and policy makers regarding the implementation and devising of strategies to support change in schools.

good work!^.^
i think i also learn the structure of a case study from your work.
what do you think is the case? teachers and their perceptions?
good job! thanks guys
according to the last paragraph of the post, u separated ''Discussion and Conclusion'' & ''Give Suggestions'', I guess we can give suggestions in the discussion section. :)
For this case study, I think the results will be more valid and reliable if the teachers (participants) are classified into their teaching subjects as the subject nature will have significant influence on their perception on the use of ICT in teaching and learning. For example, the case study can be confined to investigation into Science teachers' perception or language teachers' perception, or humanity teachers' perception.
Of course, it's not your group's problem, I just want to raise some ideas about the case study. Your review is great enough and makes our readers understand something more about 'case study' research method.
