SAMPLE Requesting Permission Letter to Conduct the Study

Headmaster,Mr. Azman Bin Mingan,Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Binjai (SKSB), Meru,41050, Klang, Selangor Darul Ehsan.

Dear Mr. Azman Bin Mingan,

Re: Permission to Conduct Research at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Binjai, Meru

I am a student at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) pursuing my Master in Visual Art Education. As a part of my thesis requirement, I am conducting a study on use of ICT in the teaching in primary school. Particulary, I am interested to study on teachers’ teaching visual arts subjects in primary school.

I am seeking your permission to distribute questionnaire to your teachers in order to collect the data. It is assured that information gathered will be used for the sole purpose of the study. The confidentiality of the respondents’ personal details and opinion will be guaranteed.

Followings are details of the study:

Purpose: To identify the use of ICT among teachers for visual arts subjects in primary schools.

Procedure: The questionnaire will be distributed during the teachers’ free period. The survey contains 34 questions including eight demographic questions. It will take approximately 15 minutes for the teacher to complete the survey. In addition, several teachers will be selected at random for a follow up interview. It is hope that there is awareness among teachers on the efficiencies of ICT in teaching and learning in the classroom, especially for visual arts subjects. A copy of the questionnaire is enclosed with this letter. After the research has been completed, a copy of the completed report will be provided for your school.

Your participation and support is greatly appreciated. If you have any concerns or questions, I can be contacted at airielazwan@yahoo.com or 017- 293 1073.

Yours sincerely,

........................................Mohd Azwan Bin Anuar
