Özet

The  extent  of  barriers  in  technology  integration  that  teachers  have  faced  in  the  teaching-learning process has long been the focus of researchers. The main purpose of the current study is to map the perceived internal and external barriers of teachers on TAM while integrating technology into their  classroom.  The  proposed  comprehensive  model  was  extended  with  the  internal  and  external barriers  and  analyzed  by  the  structural  regression  technique.  The  findings,  from  a  sample  of  399 teachers  across  Turkey,  showthat  internal  technology  barriers  have  a  direct  effect  on  perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitudes, and behavioural intention. External technology barriers do not  have  a  direct  effect  but  have  an  indirect  effect  on  perceived  usefulness,  perceived  ease  of  use, attitudes and behavioural intention. Finally, the findings show that external technology barriers have a direct impact on internal technology barriers.
