4.1 Technological trends use in classes The first objective of the study investigated the technological trends that are used in the classes of Education Faculty, University Teknology Mara (UiTM)
The three items with comparative lower mean scores were ‘Self-directed professional development’ (M=2.23, SD=1.040), ‘Remote Learning (Virtual Learning)’ (M=2.50, SD=1.196), and ‘Ebooks’ (M=2.50, SD=1.167). It can be deduced from the findings that all the technological trends as presented in table 4.1 are used once a week by the M.A students of Education Faculty, UiTM
