Turkish Adaptation of the Technology Integration Self-Efficacy Scale for Mathematics Education

The importance of technology integration in the context of teaching and learning mathematics is growing increasingly, making it a significant necessity to evaluate and measure the self-efficacy of pre-service mathematics teachers regarding technology integration in mathematics education. The primary aim of this study is to adapt the self-efficacy scale for technology integration in mathematics education, which was originally developed for mathematics teachers, into Turkish. During the adaptation process, first, the language validity of the scale was ensured. It was then followed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The reliability of the scale was assessed using the test-retest method. Adaptation findings reveal that the scale consists of six factors and shows substantial similarity to the original scale. These factors were identified as knowledge of teaching with technology, attitude, parental and community involvement, use of artificial intelligence, professional development and support, and awareness of teaching with technology. Confirmatory factor analysis results indicate that the model is valid. The findings of the study show that the scale, consisting of 27 items and six dimensions, can be used as a valid and reliable measurement tool for assessing self-efficacy in technology integration into mathematics education. In addition, this study provides a crucial contribution to the field by enabling further research and practice in mathematics teacher education.
