Abstract: Researchers in the K-12 environment have utilized self-efficacy theory and its influencing factors to aid teachers in integrating technology into their classrooms; however, similar research has not been conducted on military instructors. This mixed-methods study examines technology self-efficacy among military instructors at a Southern U.S. military base, specifically focusing on the factors influencing their confidence in integrating technology into their teaching practices. Through the use of the Computer Technology Integration survey and interviews, the research identifies three distinct themes—philosophy, barriers, and confidence—providing insights into the levels of technology self-efficacy among military instructors. With 60 survey participants and 12 interviewees, the findings emphasize the need for customized professional development opportunities to enhance technology integration skills among military instructors, contributing to the broader discourse on technology self-efficacy in educational settings.
