Intersection of Knowledge, Confidence, Belief, and Support for Technology Use By Teachers

• In Event: SMT - Teachers and Technology: Untilzing Resources to Improve Practice

Short Description

Ertmer and Ottenbreit-Leftwich (2010) suggest four important factors on teachers’ technology use: knowledge, self-efficacy, pedagogical beliefs, and culture. However, few studies have investigated the empirical relationships between the factors and teachers’ technology use. This study uses structural equation modeling (SEM) to identify the model of the level of teachers’ technology use. The results show that among all four factors influencing significantly to the level of technology use, school support is the most influential factor.
