Are Pedagogical Beliefs a Barrier for Technology Integration? The Interdependent Nature of Teacher Beliefs

• In Event: TED- Relationship between Teacher Beliefs & Preparation (v)

Short Description

The purpose of this study was to examine how teachers’ competence beliefs, value beliefs, pedagogical beliefs, and their technology integration were related to one another. The sample was composed of 137 pre-service teachers from 22 schools in Taiwan. Using path modeling, the current study found that there was an interaction between competence beliefs and pedagogical beliefs. The findings suggest that pedagogical beliefs are not a barrier for teachers’ technology integration as long as competence beliefs are high.
