Innovation in Language Learning

Implementation of the technology integration especially in the field of education in Indonesia is important to be implemented, but still found the teachers were not yet open to change and are not confident in their ability to integrate technology in the classroom. This correlational study aims to seek the relationship between openness to change and self-efficacy for technology integration among elementary teacher. Computer Technology Integration Survey (CTIS) was used to assess self-efficacy for technology integration (Wang, Ertmer, & Newby, 2004) and The Innovativeness Scale (TIS) was used to assess openness to change that consists of technological innovativeness factor and general innovativeness factor (Van Braak, 2001). 88 elementary teachers from four public elementary schools in Jakarta and four public elementary schools in Bogor participated in this study. The result of this study showed a positive and significant correlation between technological innovativeness and self-efficacy for technology integration (r = 0,366, p < 0,01) and also between general innovativeness and self-efficacy for technology integration (0,406, p < 0,01) among elementary teacher in Jakarta and Bogor area. Based on this result, it is suggested for school and government to provide technology training for elementary teacher in order to improve their openness to change and self efficacy to integrate technology.
