A sample of 175 teachers (109 females and 66 males) from the Safir Gofteman Institute were selected as the participants considering convenience sampling method, while the statistical population encompassed 324 teachers. The participants completed three questionnaires: Skaalvic and Skaalvic Norwegian Teacher’s self-efficacy scale with Cronbach’s alphas of 0.98 , Browne’s Technology Integration confidence scale (2009) with Cronbach’s alphas of 0.95 and a demographic information questionnaire. It is indicated that the teachers’ self-efficacy and technology integration intention are at satisfactory level. Correlation between self-efficacy and technology integration intention is .30 which shows positive direct relationship between these two variables. Moreover teachers’ self-efficacy is of power to predict teachers’ intention to integrate technology in teaching.
