Abstract

The education system in Malaysia is constantly changing in terms of the use of technology in teaching and learning process (T&L). Many studies have been conducted to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the technologies in the classroom. However, lack of studies have been made to identify students' perceptions of the integration of Web 2.0 approaches in achieving meaningful learning. The objective of this study was to identify the perception of the students’ feeling, technologies’ strengths, weaknesses, challenges and suggestions while using Web 2.0 technologies in order to achieve meaningful learning. Semi-structured interview protocol was used and the study was carried out through the interaction on Twitter towards 13 undergraduate students of Teaching English as a Second Language. The study found that the integration of technology in the classroom will increase student interest in using Web 2.0 technologies. Besides, result shows that there were several advantages and disadvantages of Web 2.0 technology integration in T&L process. This study aims to help teachers and the implementer of I-MeT model to make improvements in T&L process based on the challenges and suggestions provided by the respondents through their perceptions. Further research was suggested to be done in finding out lecturers’ perception based on integration of Web 2.0 technologies to achieve meaningful learning.
