Self-Efficacy Perceptions of 21st Century Skills, Teaching Skills Use and Educational Technology use of Turkish Primary School Teachers: A SEM approach

Abstract

The Present cross-sectional survey study aims to examine, through a SEM approach, the relationship among self-efficacy perceptions for 21st century skills, teaching skills use and educational technology use of teachers. 438 Turkish primary school teachers participated in the study. A SEM approach revealed that Educational technology use is a significant predictor of 21st century teaching skills (TS) and self-efficacy perceptions of teachers for 21st century skills. Also, 21st century teaching skills (TS) are a significant predictor of self-efficacy perceptions for 21st century skills (SEP). Moreover, Educational technology use and 21st century teaching skills are significant predictors of self-efficacy perceptions for 21st century skills. It is considered that the results can contribute to studies regarding 21st century skills of primary school teachers and use of instructional technology.
