INTRODUCTION Attitude is one of the teacher’s factors that affect the use of ICT in the classroom. Having a positive attitude is crucial in integrating ICT in education. Muslem, Yusuf and Juliana (2018) conducted a study on attitude and barriers to ICT use among English teachers in Indonesia. The study used a questionnaire and interview for 26 teachers selected by purposive sampling technique. The findings of the study showed that participant teachers had positive perceptions of the implementation of ICT in classroom teaching and learning. Teachers believe that ICT support them in their lessons as well as helps them to find information that enriches their lessons easily and quickly. They also think that ICT makes teaching in the class more interesting
