Effects of computer self-efficacy on pre-service art teachers’ achievement in graphic design
Onwuagboke, B.B.C1, Singh, T.K.R2.
This paper investigates the effects of computer self-efficacy beliefs of pre-service
teachers on their achievement in graphic design theory and practical design. The study
adopted a quantitative research approach using non-equivalent groups’ pre-test-post-test
quasi-experimental research design. A sample of 81 participants was purposively drawn
from second-year pre-service art teachers in colleges of education in Nigeria. Three
research questions and three hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The research
instruments used were computer self-efficacy scale adopted from the literature, teachermade
graphic design achievement tests and a graphic design assessment rubric developed
by the researchers. Data collected from the study were analysed using inferential statistics
and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The findings showed that computer self-efficacy
beliefs of the pre-service teachers had a positive effect on their achievements as those
with high computer self-efficacy beliefs performed better than those with low computer
self-efficacy beliefs in all the groups in overall graphic design and practical graphic design
achievement. However, their self-efficacy beliefs were found to have no significant effect
on their theory achievements. It was concluded that teacher educators should endeavour
to help pre-service teachers develop high computer self-efficacy beliefs to enable them to
benefit maximally from ICT-integrated curricula.
