Measurement of teachers’ self-efficacy and outcome expectations for technology integration in education

Abstract

The main purpose of the study is to measure the reliability and validity of the Motivation for Technology Integration in Education Scale prepared in light of Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory. The participants were 228 high school teachers in Turkey. The results of confirmatory factor analysis revealed that self-efficacy and outcome expectations are related but distinct constructs. Outcome expectations seemed to consist of three dimensions: performance, self-evaluative and social outcome expectations. A moderate relationship between self-efficacy and outcome expectations was found. Based on these results, we believe that researchers can confidently use this scale to measure teachers’ motivation for technology integration in education. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology.
