The relationship between teachers’ training, personal sense of efficacy and ict integration: Analysing its strength and stability

Abstract

In the literature it is still discussed whether teachers’ ICT training is in fact a critical factor for promoting technology integration in classrooms. For contributing to intensify the debate, a study was developed (a) to assess how teachers’ ICT training may or may not contribute to increase the level of ICT use in classrooms as well as teachers’ level of computers self-efficacy and (b) to identify the persistency/volatility of these possible increments. For this purpose, an in-service training program was developed for 50 teachers, who were asked to complete two self-report scales at three different moments. Teachers’ scores were compared and significant effects were found.
