Abstract

This study investigates the role of Digital Learning Objects (DLO) in improving instructional effectiveness among Malaysia's Contract of Service (COS) teachers. Using the Nominal Group Technique (NGT), 13 primary school teachers evaluated five components of the DLO. Online assessments and learning platforms were rated as the most useful. All components were deemed suitable for classroom integration, highlighting their relevance in digital teaching. The findings suggest that DLO can help novice teachers address instructional challenges, particularly in underserved areas. The study recommends further research and the development of targeted digital support strategies to enhance the teaching experiences of COS educators.
