There has been much discussion about the 21st century being a technology age. Technology, as we know it today, is crucial to our survival. Technology has permeated nearly every industry, and its effects can be seen in classrooms across the globe. Among the many concerns explored in this research is the prevalence of teachers in Malaysia who are embracing the use of technological innovations in the classroom. Education in Malaysia is overseen by the Ministry of Education, which was established after the 2013-2025 Malaysian Education Development Plan (PPPM). This study aims to examine factors associated with teachers’ behavioral intention toward adopting new technology. The cross-sectional study and the correlational research design were used to analyze the phenomena in this study. A total of 188 teachers from the eight districts of Terengganu (Besut, Dungun, Hulu Terengganu, Kemaman, Kuala Terengganu, Kuala Nerus, Marang, and Setiu) were included in the study. The results of the study revealed that all the independent variables (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions) are correlated with Terengganu teachers’ intention of adopting new technology.
