Pre-Service Teachers’ Intention in Using Technology in Their Future Classrooms
Abstract: Pre-service teachers’ intention in using technology in their future classrooms is critical to their actual technology usage according to the Theory of Planned Behavior. Based on the theory and literature, whether pre-service teachers’ perceive technology applications in education is important, how competent they are in their technology capabilities, how easy they think using technology in classrooms, and how much control they believe they have when incorporating technology in their future classrooms are all important to their intention in using technology in the future. This paper describes a quantitative study in which the relationships between all the significant factors that would influence pre-service teachers’ technology usage intention will be examined. How much these factors can predict pre-service teachers’ intention in adopting technology in their future classrooms will be explored.
