| Sumario: | This research is an attempt to explore teachers' attitudes toward Information and Communication Technology in secondary schools in the island state of Penang, Malaysia. The focus of this study is on teachers' attitudes towards accessing and using information and communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning processes. The Technology Acceptance Model is used in this study as the underlying theoretical framework, with the main thrust of the research being to explore the influence of teachers' attitude, Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness and Behavioural Intentions in using ICT. The findings of the study revealed behavioural intention as the most significant factor that influences teachers' attitude in using ICT in the course of their teaching and learning processes. The two behavioural constructs of Perceived Ease of Use and Perceived Usefulness have less influence on an individual intention to use technologies. The authors conclude by making some recommendations for practitioners to help them work towards giving increased importance to ICT use in their work responsibilities.
