Factors Affecting Teachers' Transfer of ICT Training: Considering Usefulness and Satisfaction in a PLS-SEM Transfer Training Model
Journal of Adult and Continuing Education, v29 n1 p86-105 May 2023
The success of the teachers' trainers' transfer of training can be affected by several factors like teaching self-efficacy, motivation to learn and transfer, and intention to transfer the gained skills and knowledge. This study seeks to analyze the structural relationships among the above-mentioned constructs by integrating the constructs of perceived usefulness and satisfaction of the ICT training programme. The analysis is conducted on quantitative data collected from 117 teacher educators participating in a national programme on "Teachers training on the use and application of digital technologies in the teaching practice" in Greece. Results of the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) revealed that perceived usefulness and satisfaction of the training programme had a significant positive effect on the teachers' self-efficacy and intention to transfer the gained ICT training knowledge and skills. Also, pre-training and post-training self-efficacy exerted a direct influence on the teachers' intention to transfer, motivation to transfer, and motivation to learn. The potential contribution and practical implications in the field of adult education and teachers' continuing professional development are discussed in the paper.
