Abstract:

 

The aim of this study development and validation of a teacher attitude
scale toward Information Technology Mentor Teachers (ITMT).
ITMTs give technological support to other teachers for integration of
technology in their lessons. In the literature, many instruments have
been developed to measure teachers’ attitudes towards the
technological tools and instructional technology but almost none
proposed to collect information about their attitudes towards ICT
coordinators. Perception of teachers is very important because ICT
support can play a crucial role in developing positive teacher attitudes
toward technology and also successful implementation of technology
in curricula. Most of the schools have expensive technological
equipment but many teachers have been frustrated by lack of support
in integrating these technologies into their classroom. In this regard, in
order to evaluate teachers’ attitudes toward information technology
mentor teachers, an attitude scale with 21 items was prepared by
considering related literature, expert opinions and interview results.
The scale was administered to 40 teachers form a public elementary
school. Based upon the factor and reliability analysis, teacher attitude
scale toward ITMT has been developed with 17 items and three
factors. Coefficient alpha values belong to each subscales, confidence,
willingness and efficacy were .88, .80 and .87 respectively. .
