DEVELOPING TEACHERS’ ICT ATTITUDES SCALE
Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a reliable and valid scale to measure teachers’ attitudes towards use of ICT in teaching and learning process. A cross sectional survey design was administered to 173 teachers. Eight-step scale development procedure was utilized as a framework. Prior to the piloting, a final scale comprising of 21 items was proposed by a board of experts. Then exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were employed in order to ensure construct and content validity of the scale. As to psychometric quality of the scale, the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient, item total variance and item distinctiveness indices were estimated. The results illustrated that Teachers’ ICT Attitudes Scale has a high level reliability standard (a=.898) and also Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses indicated good goodness of fit estimates. As a result, a reliable and valid scale comprising of 16 items loaded in two factors (ICT willingness and ICT anxiety) was developed. It is expected that the scale can be utilized for future researchers and policy makers in order to measure teachers’ ICT training needs
