Fig. 1 displays the general IMBP adapted for the domain for the
advancement of the integration of ICT in teachers’ pedagogical
practices. The original model has been changed to reflect the target
behavior (i.e., using DLMs) and extended to include several possible
distal variables that determine this behavior. This figure shows
that the variables are grouped into proximal, distal and ultimate
variables. The distal variables encompass all the variables at the level
of teachers’ characteristics and school organization, and the
ultimate variables the variables at the level of local, regional, and
governmental organization. In the current study, not all variables
depicted in Fig. 1 were included in our study, only the variables
in the gray areas were used.
