This research examines the factors that influence the intention to use information technology in the classroom by primary school teachers based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology and their technological predisposition. In particular, the relationship between teachers’ innovativeness and their beliefs associated with the use of technology in the classroom was analyzed. To this end, 212 teachers from three provinces of Chile were surveyed. Data were analyzed using partial least squares statistical technique. Results indicate that performance expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions influence the intention to use information technology in the classroom. It was found that the intention to use construct is a determinant of the use of technology, which validates the robustness of the model in a context of primary education. In addition, it was validated that teachers’ innovativeness determines their beliefs about the use of information technology in the classroom.

智利小学教师在课堂上采用信息技术的创新性和影响因素

本研究基于统一的技术接受和使用理论及其技术倾向性，研究了影响小学教师在课堂上使用信息技术的意图的因素。特别是，分析了教师的创新能力与他们在教室中使用技术相关的信念之间的关系。为此，对来自智利三个省的212名教师进行了调查。使用偏最小二乘统计技术分析数据。结果表明，预期绩效，社会影响力和便利条件会影响在教室中使用信息技术的意图。发现使用构造的意图是技术使用的决定因素，这在初等教育的背景下验证了该模型的稳健性。此外，还证实了教师的创新能力决定了他们对在教室中使用信息技术的信念。
