Understanding the Factors that Influence Secondary School Teachers’ Intention to Use e-Learning Technologies for Teaching After the COVID-19 Pandemic

The development and efficacy of use of e-learning in secondary schools after the COVID-19 pandemic depends on the teachers' intention to use e-learning technologies for teaching and should not be generalized since understanding of said intention depends on educational contexts. This study investigates the factors that predict Croatian secondary school teachers' intention to use e-learning technologies in their future classrooms after the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of our study show that attitudes and educational values, computer anxiety, self-efficacy, course characteristics, prior experience with e-learning technologies, education for use of ICT and pedagogical use of ICT are related to the perceived Croatian secondary school teachers' intention to use e-learning technologies in their teaching after the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings reported in this paper can be a foundation for future research in the field and help explain the barrier to acceptance of e-learning technologies, as well as a framework for the development of e-learning strategy in secondary schools after the COVID-19 pandemic.
