| Özet |
| This study examined the self-efficacy of Turkish and Greek preschool teachers in utilizing information and communication technology (ICT) in the classroom amidst the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Using Albert Bandura’s social cognitive theory as the theoretical underpinning, the research analysed teachers’ beliefs and the role of self-efficacy in ICT use in an educational setting. The research deployed a cross-cultural adaptation of the technological self-efficacy scale in information, communication, and technology (TSES-ICT-PDE) to compare Greek and Turkish preschool teachers. The results confirmed no significant difference in the self-efficacy of Greek and Turkish teachers in ICT utilization. Furthermore, despite positive attitudes toward ICT incorporation, actual usage in the classroom was limited, particularly in Turkey, due to practical barriers such as hardware malfunctions, insufficient institutional support, and deficiencies in teacher training programs. These findings highlight the need to bolster teachers’ ICT self-efficacy and address practical issues for effective technology integration in early childhood education across diverse cultural contexts. |
