Abstract

purpose
of
this
study
was
to
determine
the
attitudes
of

in

Participating
teachers
completed
an
online
questionnaire
based

(Davis,

&
Warshaw,
1989)
to
gauge
their
attitude
towards
using
technology
in
the
classroom
as
well
as
their
intentions
to
use
the
technology.
Variables
such
as
perceived
usefulness,
perceived
ease
of
use,
technical
support,
attitude
towards
using
technology
and
intention
to
use
technology
were
used.
Results
revealed
that
teachers
had
a
positive
attitude
towards
the
technology
being
used
at
school
and
their
behavioural
intention
to
use
the

was
high.
