Many researchers have devoted their efforts in addressing the issues. These include, but not limited to, studying on the pros and cons on the policy implementation. Yet, few of research show teachers'' and IT advocators'' voices about their experiences regard these activities in the schools. In this thesis, we conduct a qualitative research taking from the lens of Orlikowski and Gash''s "Technological Frames" to explore both teachers, as policy receivers, and IT advocators, as policy promoter, their voices about their experiences via narrative interviews. Our research results show that there is a perception gap between IT advocators and receivers for policy implementation and practicing even both of them commit to the goal of the policy. These findings contribute to the understanding of policy implementation and practicing, and have important managerial implication in practice.
