- Abstract
This study developed a valid/reliable survey to determine classroom teachers' level of self-efficacy for modeling 21st-century skills. An expert panel reviewed the survey's validity using the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T, 2008) as a guide. These perceptions were measured using the developed instrument, the Educator Technology Self-Efficacy Survey (ETS-ES). In this study there were 116 participants ranging from pre-service teachers, classroom teachers, education technology specialists, and instructional technologists. Because technology is a foundational component of the transformation to 21st-century teaching and learning, it is important for teachers to be able to adapt and adopt a positive disposition for change. Implications on how the instrument can be used to empower pre-service programs, school leaders and individual teachers in creating a climate of professional growth and leadership for the effective use of digital tools for teaching and learning were discussed.
