Technology that has been rapidly developing in this current era has changed our way of life, including the method of teaching which is slowly being shifted to the modern way of teaching while still pertaining the traditional method of teaching. Many students know how to use digital technologies while some are still awkward in using digital technologies. Pre-service teachers need to be aware of this matter. Thus, it is important to investigate the perception of the pre-service teachers towards the use of digital technologies as the teachers are going to lead learners towards the current era. This study aims to investigate on the perception of the pre-service teachers towards the use of digital technologies in schools. The researcher conducted this study at ukm with fpend students as the sample of population. A quantitative approach is used in this study which is by distributing survey questionnaire to the subjects. Utaut model is used as the theoretical framework. Findings show that performance expectancy and social influences have a significant relationship with the pre-service teachers’ behavioural intention in using digital technologies at schools. Whereas facilitating conditions show a significant relationship with the pre-service teachers’ behaviour in using the digital technologies. This study contributes to becoming future guidelines and references for further research on the same topic background.
