Abstract

Abstract: This study, which surveyed 160 teachers, explores the influence of self-efficacy on teachers' practices of using computers in the classroom. Self-efficacy demonstrated influence in three computer application uses including academic, clerical/management, and advanced use. Regression models demonstrated that self-efficacy was most significant in explaining the variance of academic use of computers in the classroom. This suggests that, for the participants of this study, teachers' self-efficacy about using computers in an academic setting was more significant than their level of experience of using computers in the classroom.
