Modelling the Spectrum of Technology Integration from Teacher Training to Usage Intention: Findings from a Two-Phase Study

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationships among training on technology integration, self-efficacy, and technology acceptance. In this sense, the two-phase study firstly validated an instrument and then, the relationships among the specified factors were tested through structural equation modeling. While 384 pre-service teachers participated in the instrument validation phase, 790 pre-service teachers participated in the model testing phase. The findings firstly revealed that the scale is a valid and reliable instrument. Secondly, pre-service teachers' training on technology integration significantly predicts their self-efficacy, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use. All these factors, consequently, predict their intention to use technology.
