ABSTRACT
This study aims to identify both level and frequency of ICT technology use and factors affecting perceived selfefficacy
levels of pre-service English Language Teaching (ELT) teachers’ (n=241) ICT self-efficacy. The data
were collected through a survey (Çuhadar & Yücel, 2010) during the 2011-2012 academic year that includes
items on the use and frequency of ICT technologies along with three open-ended questions. The responses were
analyzed in frequency and percentages using descriptive statistics within the framework of Technology
Acceptance Model (TAM) based on Social Cognitive Theory and the content analysis technique. It could be
concluded that majority of the pre-service ELT teachers find themselves self-efficacious in the use of ICT.
Results further suggest that the perceived use of computers, experience and confidence play significant role
while lack of knowledge and skills, technical problems and lack of confidence negatively influence ICT selfefficacy.
