Investigation of Geography Teachers' Perceptions of Self-Efficacy towards Online Technologies
Öz
This study aims to determine the self-efficacy of geography teachers towards online technologies. Research data was collected from 68 geography teachers working in private and public schools in İzmir. The SelfEfficacy Perception Scale for Online Technologies, which was developed by Miltiadou and Yu (2000) and adapted into Turkish by Horzum and Çakır (2009), was used as a measurement tool. The criteria based on self-efficacy measurements are aimed at measuring basic skills such as accessing desired web addresses, using e-mail tools, and participating in synchronous and asynchronous meetings. The research concludes that the internet skills of the geography teachers regarding online technologies were higher than their synchronous and asynchronous interaction skills. According to the data, the variables of gender, education levels, working hours, and type of school and graduated university did not create a significant difference in self-efficacy perceptions towards online technologies. In line with the results, it is suggested training programs are designed and implemented by determining the needs of teachers using renewed technology tools in the future and to keep their technology self-efficacy high.
