Will, Skill or Conscientiousness: What Predicts Teachers' ICT-Related Professional Development?

This study protocol outlines a study to explore the predictive power of cognitive, motivational and personality traits for teachers' tendency of participation in as well as teachers' willingness for ICT-related PD. For the study we will use data of teachers from the project tabletBW. TabletBW is a school trial for learning with tablets in classrooms which is accompanied by longitudinal scientific research from 2018 to 2021. To test our hypotheses, we will conduct stepwise multivariate multiple regression models (SEM) including teachers' utility value of educational technology, teachers' technological ability as well as teachers' conscientiousness as main predictors for teachers' tendency of participation in as well as teachers' willingness for ICT-related PD.
