Information and Communication Technology or widely known as ICT is not something
new nowadays. In fact, computers and ICT are things we cannot do without today and in the
future. Due to that, this study is conducted with the aim to investigate the pre-service teachers’
usage of ICT, competency level, their perceptions on ICT as well as their attitudes towards ICT.
This study involves 80 pre-service teachers from two courses, Teaching English as Second
Language (TESL) and Sports & Recreation, in one of the public universities in Malaysia.
Questionnaires comprising of 5 sections were distributed and analysed using SPSS. The findings
revealed that there is no significant difference in terms of the ICT usage between the two
courses. However, in terms of the ICT competency, perceptions of ICT as well as attitudes
towards ICT, TESL students were found to be on the upper hand as compared to the counterpart,
Sports and Recreation students. The study revealed that there is a significant and positive
relationship between ICT usage, competency level, perceptions and attitudes towards using ICT
in the interactive learning process. Therefore, more emphasis on the importance of ICT
utilization should be encouraged among the pre-service teachers to enhance the teaching and
learning process.
