Abstract

This study aimed to look at the readiness of teachers in the use of Google Classroom application in mathematics subjects. The use of the Google Classroom application which is an M-learning platform in teaching and learning was implemented intensively after our government introduced the Social Distancing Policy. The methodology of this study is quantitative and questionnaires are distributed to respondents in the form of Google Forms. A total of 99 primary and secondary school teachers were selected as study respondents. Study data were analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) version 26.
