The current study applies the theory of planned behavior (TPB), a theory that is commonly used in commercial settings, to the educational context to explain pre-service teachers’ technology acceptance. It is also interested in examining its validity when used for this purpose. Two hundred and ninety-three participants completed a questionnaire measuring their responses to four constructs from the TPB. The results showed that attitude towards computer use had the largest effect on pre-service teachers’ intention to use technology, followed by perceived behavioral control, and subjective norm.
