Revisiting teachers’ computer self-efficacy: A differentiated view on gender differences

作者:

Highlights:

• Teachers’ computer self-efficacy (CSE) comprises three factors.

• The measurement of teachers’ CSE shows strict invariance across gender.

• Male teachers show higher CSE in basic and advanced skills (d = −1.03, −0.49).

• Gender differences are not present for CSE in using computers for instruction.

• Females’ instructional CSE is positively related to participation in ICT courses.
