Abstract

Sense of success and self-efficacy regarding technology integration in teaching are among the most important factors that influence teachers' well-being and professional development, and may have a substantial impact on student learning. In this quantitative study (N = 735 K-12 teachers in Israel), we explored the factors contributing to sense of success in emergency remote teaching and self-efficacy for integrating technology in teaching following the experience of teaching during COVID-19 days. We use decision-tree models to look at nuanced relations. Overall, our findings highlight the crucial-albeit not surprising-role of experience in teaching with technology as an important factor that promotes sense of success and self-efficacy. Going beyond this factor, we emphasize that emotional difficulties in times of emergency may serve as an important risk factor, and that taking a leading role in school may serve as an important protective factor. We also found an advantage to STEM and Language teachers, compared with Social Sciences and Humanities teachers. Following our findings, we conclude with a set of recommendations that could enhance school-based teaching and learning at large.
