The purpose of this study was to investigate future educational technologists’ intentions to
participate in online teaching by using Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior (TpB). This purpose
was based on the assumption that advances in technology are reshaping the goals of education
and the role of educator. New technologies may enhance students’ learning, but only if properly
integrated into the curriculum. Implementation of technology-integrated curricula and instruction
creates challenges for both educators and designers, for it requires new ways of conceptualizing
work routines, attitudes and knowledge (see Culp, Honey & Mandinach, 2005). Online
teaching can be viewed as a “new wave” of technology integration. A ready mind accompanied
with a sound understanding of technology integration could help to ensure the successful acquisition
of the knowledge necessary for future educational technologists participating in online
teaching. Therefore, understanding of attitudinal, technological and social factors of participation
in online teaching would be useful to university administrators and faculty in developing
pedagogies and curricula.
In an effort to understand future educational technologists’ intentions to participate in online
teaching, the research question was: What are the factors influencing future educational
technologists’ participation in online teaching?
