ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Regent University
The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate how changes in learning management systems affect an educator's self-efficacy and to determine if there was a statistically significant relationship between certain demographics of educators and their perceived self-efficacy regarding the implementation of the new learning management system, Canvas. It was hypothesized that certain key demographic factors (gender, teaching experience, and teaching level) would have a statistically significant impact on the level of self-efficacy in regard to technology implementation. The sample of this study was composed of prekindergarten through fifth-grade educators working in a school district in the southeastern region of the United States. The Technology and Self-Efficacy of Educators Survey Questionnaire was administered to collect data on the independent variables of teacher demographics including gender, teaching experience, and teaching level, as well as the dependent variable of the perceived self-efficacy of educators. Several steps were taken to analyze the data, including descriptive statistics and a Pearson r correlation as well as an independent t test, which were used to test the main research questions. Data were tested using the Pearson correlation to identify the extent to which teacher demographics and perceived self-efficacy of technology implementation practices were related. Study findings showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between educator self-efficacy and technology self-efficacy. Additionally, the findings determined that there is no statistically significant relationship between an educator's length of experience and their educator self-efficacy, as well as no significant relationship between educators receiving training and their levels of technology self-efficacy. The findings of this study are offered to educate administrators, educators, and policy makers on the effects that technology integration and perceived self-efficacy can have on teaching and learning.
