The Development of the Self-Efficacy Form for School Administrators' Use of Information and Communication Technologies in Education

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop an up-to-date, valid and reliable instrument to measure self-efficacy for the use of information and communication technologies in education. To achieve this, we formed a pool of items based on the technology standarts issued by ISTE in 2018. The items in the pool were ecamined by field experts and then some items were revised. Further, we have added some new items. We recruited a total of 162 participants for exploratory factor analysis, whereas a total of 167 participants took part in the confirmatory factor analysis. Based on the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, we have developed the The Self-Efficacy Form for the Use of Information and Communication Technologies in Education, which includes such scales as “Equity and Citizenship Advocate (7 items”, “Visionary Planner (4 items) ”, “Empowering Leader (5 items)”, “Systems Designer (5 items)” and “Connected Learner (8 items)”. We performed the Cronbach’s Alpha internal consistency coefficients, item discrimination indexes in the lower and upper groups and the item total correlations to reliability levels of the scales. We have concluded that the instruments are valid and reliable data collections tools.
