Although the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT)
into the curriculum was a crucial process in ensuring the quality of education, it
has still not been given greater concern by the administrators and lecturers in some
universities in Vietnam. The purpose of this descriptive-survey research is to
determine lecturers’ attitudes towards ICT integration into the curriculum and its
use in the classroom. The research questions sought to measure the frequency of
ICT use in teaching and learning among lecturers and their attitudes towards ICT
integration into the curriculum to improve teaching; and to determine if a
correlation existed between lecturers’ attitudes towards ICT integration into the
curriculum and their ICT use in the classroom. A population of 109 lecturers at a
public university in Vietnam participated in this survey. The results of the
correlation analysis identified a slightly moderate positive relationship between
lecturers’ attitudes towards ICT integration into the curriculum and their ICT use
in the classroom. Although ICT was not highly used, lecturers recognized the
benefits of ICT that they had chosen to incorporate into their teaching. These
findings could be used for future research to promote positive educational changes
through the integration of ICT into the curriculum in universities.
