Relationships Among Computer Self-Efficacy, Professional Development, Teaching Experience, and Technology Integration of Teachers The purpose of this study was to build upon previous research examining the relationship between computer self-efficacy and technology integration in teachers. The study examined the perceived self-efficacy and the perceived integration of technology, as well as professional development and teaching experience (years of teaching). This was a quantitative and qualitative study using such tools as the Computer Self-Efficacy Survey (CSE), Technology Integration Self-Assessment (TISA), and the Technology Integration Standards Configuration Matrix (TISCM) as well as interviews and observational notes. A statistically significant relationship was found between computer self-efficacy and technology integration; however, caution should be used because the study was done with a very small sample. The study found results that suggest that there is not a significant relationship among technology integration and teaching experience or professional development and that there is not a significant relationship between computer self-efficacy and teaching experience or professional development.
