|
 The inaugural
issue of the Malaysian Journal of Educational Technology
(MJET), Volume 1, Number 1, June 2001, was launched by the Sec. General
of the Ministry of Education, Malaysia at the 14th National Educational
Technology Convention held in Klang, Selangor Darul Ehsan on the 12th
September 2001.
The Malaysian Journal of Educational Technology (my.JET) (ISSN
1675-0292) is published by the Malaysian Educational Technology
Association (META) as one aspect of its function to encourage the
publication of educational technology related research, survey, models
as well as the dissemination of information about the educational and
information and communication technology.
The Patron of the Malaysian Journal of Educational Technology is the
Minister of Education, Ministry of Education, Malaysia, while the
Advisor of the journal is the Director of the Educational Technology
Division (ETD) of Ministry of Education, Malaysia.
The aim of this publication is to share with fellow academics and
researchers the contributions to the Malaysian Journal of Educational
Technology, both locally and abroad.
Other than the normal scholarly contributions, occasional Special
Issues with Guest Editorship is published, such as a Special Issue from
a conference, to capture the trend of the occasion for the benefit of
the journal.
Nothing would be too minor for us to consider as we are too aware of
the diversity of the application of educational technology globally.
Naturally, the more advanced countries would be talking about
cyberspace, the Internet and even artificial intelligence while the
beginners would be elated just to receive a radio set for the purpose
of an educational transaction.
Contributions have thus far been received from 13 countries (including
Malaysia) and the Malaysian Journal of Educational Technology has published 50 articles up to Volume 4, Number 2, December 2004.

MALAYSIAN EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION [META]
|
In a convention organised by the
Educational Technology Division (ETD) of the Ministry of Education,
Malaysia (MMOE) from 18-20 June 1987 at the Institut Aminuddin Baki
(formerly known as Institut Pengurusan Pendidikan Malaysia), Genting
Highlands, a working paper related to the establishment of the
Malaysian Educational Technology Association was presented by Puan Sri
Datin Hafsah Hj Nasir, then director of the ETD, MMOE.
The proposal to set up the association was overwhelmingly accepted by
the delegates and a pro-tem committee was appointed to explore the
possibility of establishing it and subsequently undertaking the
necessary preparatory tasks. The pro-tem committee met several times
and this paved the way for the establishment of the association.
Finally, on 30 September 1988, the Malaysian Educational Technology
Association (META) was formerly registered. The Chairman of the Pro-Tem
Committee, Puan Sri Dr Rohana Zubir, was appointed as the Chairman of
META and the Pro-Tem Committee evolved into the permanent executive
council of the newly established association.
META was established with the aim of establishing a platform that
enables educators and individuals interested in educational technology
to exchange ideas to collaborate in efforts to promote the usage and
application of various aspects of educational technology at every level
in the educational system, from pre-school to higher education.
Specifically, META was established with eight objectives which are
stipulated in its statute to:
-
Encourage the development of educational technology so as to enhance
the quality of teaching and learning, training
and educational management.
-
Encourage research in the area related to the educational technology.
-
Encourage the production of various relevant resources and the dissemination of information pertaining to their application.
-
Provide a platform for the dissemination of knowledge related to the
advancement of educational technology through publication and the circulation of print and non-print materials.
-
Organise meetings, seminars, workshops and conferences with the aim of exchanging ideas and views among members and experts in the area of educational technology.
- Facilitate participation of members in conferences and collaboration with other establishment/organisations associated with educational technology locally and internationally.
- Organise visits to agencies related to educational technology and provide training and hold exhibitions in the related area.
-
Provide advisory and consultancy services to relevant parties interested in educational technology.
In line with the above objectives, META has, since its inception, successfully undertaken the following activities:
- Organising the National Educational Technology Convention with a
specific theme annually. This includes a convention at the Asia-Pacific
level which was successfully organised in 1992 in Penang and another
meeting at the ASEAN level in 1994 in Pulau Langkawi. The annual
convention has been the association’s main activity and it has received
encouraging responses from members and educators at all levels. Since
1991, META has received cooperation and support from state education
departments, state education resource centres and institutions of
higher learning and this has enabled the convention to be organised and
held in succession by the various states.
-
Organising an annual competition involving teaching and learning
resource materials for usage at primary and secondary schools as well
as at institutions of higher learning. The competition is organised by
META on behalf of the ETD. At the early stage, the competition focused
on print material development but currently, it has moved forward to
include teaching and learning resources in the multimedia and Web-based
formats.
-
Publishing reading and reference materials specifically in
educational technology. The association has been publishing the
Proceedings of the META Convention annually and in the year 2001, it
published its journal – the Malaysian Journal of Educational Technology
-- that has received considerable and positive responses from local and
international contributors. The association has also been publishing
books that have been considered useful as references for educators in
Malaysia.
