摘要：The purpose of this study is to investigate whether self-efficacy perceptions of undergraduate students at the Faculty of Education toward online technologies differ based on demographics (i.e., gender, area of study), computer and Internet experiences. The data obtained from 268 students (189 females, 79 males) in different area of studies in the Faculty of Education, at a university in the Western Blacksea Region of Turkey, were used in the analyses. There were no gender differences in the self efficacy mean scores of the students although the difference on the Internet competencies subscale was notably close to significant level in favor of the male students. However, the students with higher computer and Internet experiences indicated significantly higher scores on all subscales (i.e., Internet competencies, synchronous interaction, asynchronous I, asynchronous II) of the online technologies self-efficacy scale. The findings of this study and the related literature suggest that the students' self-efficacy perceptions toward the online technologies are highly related to their prior computer and Internet experiences.
