Abstract: The effectiveness of the teaching and learning process is determined by its execution. The integration of technology into classroom instruction has celebrated individuality and the different ways of students’ learning process. Hence, a Science Electronic Module (SeM) was developed in an effort to increase Orang Asli student’s understanding of Science topics. The influence of school administrators as a determining factor toward SeM’s successful implementation was also tested. The study employed a qualitative research design, where six Orang Asli primary school teachers were interviewed. Findings from the present research inform that hands-on activity, experimentation, multimedia elements, and interactivity are key features in SeM in boosting Orang Asli primary school student’s understanding of the delivered topic. The study also suggested that the implementation of SeM into Orang Asli students’ classroom instruction has increased their interest in the Science subject. Support from school administrators through continuous professional development courses, encouragement, initiative, and incentive were addressed as determining factors toward the successful implementation of SeM. Considering those findings, the study concludes that technological usage in classroom instruction should be given priority. Acting as a determinant success of any education change, the role played by the school administrator is important. Various approaches and ongoing efforts need to be intensified, in ensuring that all students benefit from this technology-assisted learning modality.
