The aim of the study is to develop a computer self-efficacy scale (CSES) to assess teachers’ computer self-efficacy beliefs in terms of technology integration. A valid and reliable instrument is a need for technology integration studies because computer self-efficacy has been shown as a generic variable in different technology adaptation studies. This scale provides with an alternative measurement for researchers through a major focus on technology integration related dimensions. 110 pre-service, and 115 in-service teachers participated in the study. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and reliability analyses indicated high validity and reliability of CSES. Five subscales were revealed and confirmed after EFA and CFA. Each factor has reliability coefficients higher that .89. All the results supported that CSES is an acceptable instrument to measure teachers’ computer self-efficacy beliefs.
