Abstract
ICT-based learning environment has been identified as a new and interesting method and able to change the way people learn. ICT-based learning can take place beyond the boundaries of the classroom walls, place and time. Thus, this study aims to identify ICT-based teaching techniques among mechanical and manufacturing program teachers in Vocational Colleges. In this study, Delphi Fuzzy Method using 7 fuzzy scales was used to collect the responses of 15 expert lecturers in various areas of expertise. The collected data were analysed using fuzzy triangular numbering and the ranking of each variable was determined using a ‘defuzification’ process. Expert consensus found that problem solving and teacher guidance items (scaffolding) came first with a defuzification score value of 10.2. Lecture items are in the last position which is eighth with a defuzification score value of 7.8. The results of this study provide input on the factors that need to be given attention to realise the concept of ICT-based learning in Vocational Colleges.
