The purpose of this study was to identify secondary students’ perceptions on the use of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) in promoting students’ self-directed learning in Malaysia. Survey design was used to gather quantitative data through the questionnaires. 100 students were chosen randomly as the samples from two private Secondary Schools in Selangor, Malaysia. SPSS V22.0 was used to analyze descriptive and inferential statistic. The findings showed that the use of ICT among students in Malaysia was familiar and it had promoted a high level of readiness in selfdirected learning and established students’ interactions with ICT, peers, and teacher. The findings also reported that there was a relationship between gender and the use of ICT and self-directed learning, the students from the urban areas also tended to be more self-directed in their learning compared to students from the rural areas. Further study should analyze the level of self-directed learning among secondary school students in the rural areas in Malaysia. The disparity between urban and rural areas in terms of facility and infrastructure is one important factor that needs to be studied.
