Abstract: This study aims to analyze the knowledge and skills in using Google Classroom technology among primary school Malay language teachers in national schools in the Kanowit district, Sibu, Sarawak. This quantitative descriptive study was conducted through a survey using a questionnaire instrument involving 35 teachers in the study area, selected through stratified random sampling. The research findings were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation analysis with SPSS software version 27.0. The findings revealed that the level of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of Google Classroom among Malay language teachers in primary schools was at a moderate level, where the mean score for Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use was M = 2.91 and standard deviation = 0.726. Meanwhile, the score for Attitude Toward Using Google Classroom among the teachers showed a mean of M = 2.82 and a standard deviation of 0.687. The Pearson correlation analysis result (r = 0.869, sig = 0.001) with p < 0.01 (p = 0.001) indicated a significant value, suggesting a strong and positive relationship between Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use with Attitude Toward Using Google Classroom. The implications of this study can provide useful input to school management in administering the teaching and learning process in classrooms, as well as in planning effective strategies to enhance students’ overall engagement in school-based teaching and learning activities.
