摘要:This study utilized the Theory of Planned Behavior as our basis, while considering
important demographic variables such as gender and age, we constructed a
comprehensive model of elementary school teachers’ behavioral intentions regarding
web-based professional development. A survey was conducted among 359 elementary
school teachers, and path analysis was used to construct a model of elementary school
teachers’ behavioral intentions regarding web-based professional development. The
following conclusions are made: (1) demographic variables (gender and age) had only
indirect effects on teachers’ behavioral intentions regarding web-based professional
development; age in particular had a negative impact on perceived behavioral control,
which in turn negatively influenced such behavioral intentions; (2) the primary factor
influencing elementary school teachers’ behavioral intentions in this regard was
attitude, followed by perceived behavioral control. Based on the above conclusions, we
propose specific suggestions for researchers, practitioners, administrators, and
professional development specialists.
