During COVID-19 Pandemic ICT Integration Proficiency as a Predictor of Web 2.0 Self Efficacy Beliefs of Teachers

Abstract

This study was designed to examine the relationship between teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs in using Web 2.0 technologies and their level of proficiency in using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The study group comprised of 336 teachers employed in different branches in state schools. Within this scope, “ICT Integration Proficiency for Teachers (TIPS)” and the “Web 2.0 Practical Content Development Self-Efficacy Belief (W2SEBS)” scales were used. The validity of the scales used in the research was tested with confirmatory factor analysis and the scales were seen to be valid. The multiple regression model created for the prediction of Web 2.0 self-efficacy beliefs by information and communication technology integration proficiency was found to be significant. Accordingly, ICT proficiency of teachers is thought to assist in the development of self-efficacy beliefs about the use of Web 2.0 tools.

Pandemi Sürecinde Öğretmenlerin Web 2.0 Öz-yeterlik İnanışların bir Yordayıcısı olarak BİT Entegrasyonu Yeterlikleri

Abstract

Bu araştırmada, öğretmenlerin Web 2.0 hızlı içerik geliştirme teknolojilerini kullanabilme öz-yeterlik inanışları ile bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerini (BİT) kullanma yetkinlik düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma grubu, devlet okullarında farklı branşlarda görev yapmakta olan 336 öğretmenden oluşmaktadır. Bu kapsamda katılımcılara “Öğretmenler için Bilgi ve İletişim Teknolojileri Entegrasyonu Yeterlikleri Ölçeği” ile “Web 2.0 Hızlı İçerik Geliştirme Öz-Yeterlik İnancı Ölçeği” uygulanmıştır. Bu çalışmada kullanılan ölçeklerin geçerlikleri doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile sınanmış ve ölçeklerin geçerli oldukları bulunmuştur. Web 2.0 öz-yeterliğinin bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri entegrasyonu yeterlikleri tarafından yordanmasına yönelik kurulan çoklu regresyon modelinin anlamlı olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Buna göre öğretmenlerin BİT yeterlikleri, onları Web 2.0 araçlarını kullanmadaki öz-yeterlik inanışlarının gelişmesine yardımcı olduğu düşünülmektedir.
