Abstract
This study examines the effect of perceptions of principals’ support of teachers in Jordan Discovery schools on the integration of e-learning into their teaching. 350 teachers were randomly stratified from a total of 2,389 teachers from all the secondary Discovery schools in the four districts (strata) of the capital, Amman. The dependent variable was the integration of e-learning. The independent variable was the perception on the Principals’ support needed for the integration of e-Learning and the moderating variable was the gender and teaching experiences. The responses from the survey were analyzed with descriptive statistics and two-way ANOVA. The findings of this study exhibit moderate levels of self-efficacy. From the perspective of self-efficacy, there were significant differences among the means for main effect for both teachers’ teaching experience and gender on the integration of e-learning.

Summary
Sharifah Norhaidah Syed Idros School of Educational Studies, Universiti Sains Malaysia issues such as developing internal networks and providing Internet access to classrooms. Garcia, Johnson and Dallman (1997) argue that the principal’ vision and leadership are an important indicator of an effective integration of technology into schools. The JEI (Jordan Education Initiative) has piloted two ICT (information Communication and Technology) models for the delivery and use of the e-content, computer labs, portable laptop computers and projectors issued to teachers for use in classrooms (Education Development Center, Inc., 2008). There is cooperation between the JEI and the JMOE (Jordanian Ministry of Education) for providing the Discovery schools with e-Learning infrastructure and other resources (Education Development Center, Inc., 2008). All the Discovery schools, recently, are connected either to the broadband network or with ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) connections (Education Development Center, Inc., 2008)
