The factors include changes in government policy, the requirement of the accreditation bodies, the technology advancement, the need for changes in an unexpected situation, the new skills demanded by the industries, and the current trend in education. New Pedagogical for Deep Learning (NPDL) is an example of current trends in education. The NPDL has changed from the old pedagogy, which focuses on the student mastering the content, to the new pedagogy, which focuses on students discovering and mastering the content together through deep learning. In Malaysia, NPDL has been implemented in Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia (IPGM) since 2016. They have developed seven modules of the Digital Tools and Resource for School Transformation Program (TS25), wherein the modules systematically nurture deep learning by benefiting the technology and digital. Technology in digital learning is one of the core elements of NPDL, and it plays an essential role in ensuring the success of NPDL implementation. Hence, this article is aimed to make a narrative review of the needs, impacts and challenges in integrating technology into instruction to support the NPDL for Malaysia case.
