This study explored factors that influence teachers' intentions to integrate digital literacy into their classrooms based on the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behavior (DTPB). Path analysis was used to analyze quantitative data collected through an online survey (n = 144) and constant comparison approach was used to analyze open-ended survey responses. Findings revealed that the components of the DTPB--attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control--explained significant variance in teachers' intentions to integrate digital literacy in their classrooms. Also, positive attitude, perceived usefulness, and self-efficacy are the strongest indicators of teachers' intentions to integrate digital literacy into their classrooms. Additional findings indicate that teachers perceive the benefits of digital literacy for improving students' 21st century skills and preparing them for college and professional careers.
