Abstract

The purpose of this research is to discover factors that significantly affect the future teachers’ decisions regarding the use of educational software in teaching. The study involved nine factors and obtained 112 valid questionnaires. The results revealed that the decision of future teachers on the use of educational software in teaching was affected by six factors: the required effort, personal innovativeness, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, previous technical training and enjoyment in helping others (altruism). Although there are no major gender differences in attitudes towards the use of educational software, the research has shown that there are significant differences in some items associated with the opinion of their own abilities.
