Abstract:
The paper presents the construction and psychometric property analysis of a questionnaire (TECNOVAL) developed to investigate in-service teachers’ beliefs about the value of digital technology in instruction. The study examined the instrument’s data properties, factor structure, and reliability in a sample of 137 Italian primary and secondary school teachers. Preliminary analysis of data properties revealed that data follow an approximately normal distribution. The exploration of the factor structure produced a one-factor solution consistent with the expectations. The factor also demonstrated good internal consistency reliability: adequate Cronbach’s α, McDonald’s ω, average inter-item correlation, and corrected item-total correlation. Although some psychometric properties have yet to be evaluated, TECNOVAL can be a useful tool for assessing teacher beliefs about the value of digital technology in instruction in the Italian school context.
