Volume: 14 Issue: 1 Year: 2017 Analyzing of relationship between teachers’ individual innovativeness levels and their tpack self-efficacies 1 Ahmet Naci Çoklar 2 Ayşe Özbek 3 Abstract Individual characteristics of people such as approach to technology, knowledge level and perceptions come into prominence. Rogers is classified individuals in five different categories (innovators, early adaptors, early majority, late majority, laggards) in terms of their innovation characteristics and states them as individual innovativeness. Having an individual innovativeness level is a factor which not only may influence people’s skills concerning use of technology but also may influence teachers’ technological integration level in the class. This study aims to determine the effect of teachers’ individual innovativeness level on technological integration process. In line with this purpose, TPACK self-efficacies scale and individual innovativeness scale have been applied to 421 teachers employed in Turkey in 2013-2014 education years. Teachers’ individual innovativeness levels, TPACK skill conditions and predictive power level of individual innovativeness on TPACK skills have been researched. As a result of this research, it has been understood that a great majority of teachers consider themselves as early majority and early adaptors as well as being advanced level in terms of TPACK skills. In addition it has been concluded that there is a positive and important relationship between individual innovativeness and TPACK, while individual innovativeness becomes an important predictor of TPACK skills. Keywords: TPACK; individual innovativeness; technology integration; ICTs; teachers. Introduction In parallel with developments in technological instruments, countries make investment in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and effort to increase the use of these technologies in educating environments. This subject is addressed in the frame of integration of technology into education environment. But technological investments that are generally made for the incorporation of new technologies in school curricula at the present time cause to question the integration concept. Technological integration is a concept that requires much more activity than technology included in educating environment after purchased (ISTE, 2002). It is necessary, from technical support to students’ adaptation process, to perform a large number of planning during integration process. One of important issues to be planned is teachers’ education (Inan & Lowther, 2010). Teachers, who are an important component of technological integration, have a determinant position in the class as leaders of using of technology. The teachers take the most responsibility to 1 This study is produced from the second author’s master thesis named " Analyzing The Effect Of Innovativeness Levels Of Teachers On Their Integration Of Information And Communication Technologies". 2 Assoc.
