Sumario: This study explore the relation between five types of teacher’s beliefs – constructivism, teacher self-efficacy, computer self-efficacy, self-efficacy for teaching with computers and beliefs about technology’s effectiveness on education – and the frequency and variety of use for computer’s instructional purposes. A questionnaire was completed by 112 teachers from five Chilean schools. Using correlation analysis, it was found that computer self-efficacy, self-efficacy for teaching with computers and beliefs about technology’s effectiveness on education show greater effects on frequency and variety of use of technologies for instructional purposes over teacher self-efficacy, and constructivism.
