Developing A Scale For Measuring ICT Integration Approaches For Teachers

The purpose of this study is to develop a survey in order to identify teachers’ beliefs about ICT integration in the learning and teaching process. The 24-item survey based on 5 point Likert scale includes three approaches: Traditional Integration (TI), Cognitive Constructivist Integration (CCI) and Socio-Cultural Integration (SCI). 18 experts were asked to revise the survey for content and face validity. The survey was conducted on 625 teachers and exploratory factor analysis with maximum likelihood method was used to provide the construct validity. Considering the results of the analyses four items excluded from survey. Three of the eliminated items had low consistency and related to more than one factor and one of the deleted item didn’t reveal any correlation with the all factors. The remaining 20-item survey which is based on three different integration approaches was exposed to confirmatory factor analysis to test the construct validity. The analyses results indicated that the goodness of fit statistics for data shows acceptable model fit. Also this survey that includes three integration approaches has a high reliability based on Cronbach alpha values.
