2017, DergiPark (Istanbul University)

The changing and developing educational methods and techniques give priority to the technology based education and learning methods. Both the students and their teachers react to these developments and methods that have emerged in the last 25 years and there is a limit to the literature that evaluates the way they perceive these methods. The purpose of this research is to show teachers' tendency to use information technology and to use information and communication approach by using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). By doing this our goal is to find out whether technological development is used effectively in a productive way or not. On the other hand, as a result of this study our aim is to understand the feelings and expectations of teachers while they are using technological devices. In the study, 143 teachers working in the province of Darende in Malatya answered the survey and the results were analyzed and we tried to determine the attitude, perception style and how they used this technology in accordence with the participants' responses to the use of Information and Communication Techniques. Consequently, according to the answers given to the survey, while there is a significant relationship between the perceived usefulness and the facilitating situations and the variables, on the other hand there is not a significant relationship between the types of schools that teachers are working and the perceived attitudes towards the use of information technology in the formation of behavior.
