The exploration of the factor structure - in a sample of 165 primary and secondary school teachers - yielded three factors corresponding to the three theoretical constructs considered within the Technology Acceptance Model: attitude, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. In addition, each factor demonstrated reliability estimates in the acceptable to good range of internal consistency and showed adherence to the theoretical constructs. Although some psychometric characteristics remain to be assessed, the instrument “TECNOINS” can represent a valuable research tool for monitoring and evaluating initial and continuous teacher education and training, Action-Research or Training-Research, as well as teaching-technological innovation practices in the school context.</p>}, number={29}, journal={ITALIAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH}, author={Foschi, Laura Carlotta}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={062–075} }
