Factors Influencing the Attitudes and Self-Efficacy of Mississippi Allied Health Educators toward Information and Communication Technology
Crittenden, Jason C.
Career and Technical Education Research, v34 n3 p155-174 2009
The purpose of this study was to examine specific factors that may influence the attitudes and perceived self-efficacy of Allied Health educators in Mississippi toward information and communication technology (ICT). Specifically, this study examined components of attitude based on the tripartite theory (affect, cognitive, and behavior) and demographic information, such as educational level, age, years of experience using computers, and years of teaching experience. The study found that not only did these educators retain a high perceived level of self-efficacy but their affective, cognitive, and behavioral attitudes toward ICT were highly positive, as well. Kruskal-Wallis analysis revealed that significant differences existed amongst the educators based on their attitudes toward ICT and their level of education. Subsequent Mann-Whitney U testing revealed that those educators holding a Master's degree retained attitudes significantly more positive than those holding an Associate or Bachelor's degree.
