Teachers' self-efficacy in educational technology integration is strongly linked to their Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). Career stage significantly moderates this positive relationship, impacting effective technology adoption in classrooms.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Teacher Professional Development
- Psychology of Education
Background:
- Effective integration of information technology in education relies on teachers' confidence and knowledge.
- Understanding the factors influencing teachers' self-efficacy in technology integration is crucial for successful implementation.
- Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is a key framework for effective technology use in teaching.
Approach:
- A meta-analysis synthesized 28 independent effect sizes from 7,777 subjects.
- Random-effects models and publication bias tests (funnel plot, Begg and Mazumdar's test) were employed.
- Moderating effects of career stage, gender, teaching stage, discipline, and measurement tools were analyzed.
Key Points:
- A significant positive correlation (r = 0.607, P < 0.001) was found between teachers' self-efficacy for information technology integration and TPACK.
- Teacher career stage significantly moderated this relationship.
- Gender, teaching stages, disciplines, and measurement tools did not significantly moderate the relationship.
Conclusions:
- Teachers' self-efficacy in technology integration is a strong predictor of their TPACK.
- Interventions aimed at enhancing teachers' self-efficacy and TPACK should consider career stage differences.
- Further research could explore specific strategies for supporting teachers at different career stages.
