Abstract

The attitude of teachers towards information and communication technology (ICT) can be decisive for their integration in the teaching-learning process. The objective of this research is to ropose a new instrument, of three factors, to measure the attitude of university teachers and deepen their psychometric properties. The sample is composed of 867 university teachers. Data analysis includes exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and reliability analysis. The results of the EFA and the CFA confirmed evidence of a good fit of the first and second order model and good reliability indices. The present work contributes to a better understanding of the underlying dimensions of attitudes towards ICTs in this population.
