The aim of the research was to determine the use of computer technologies and the status of
integration into lessons during online teaching by class teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The research used a descriptive survey model. The study group for the research comprised 464 class
teachers employed in official primary schools linked to the Ministry of National Education in Rize
province. Two scales were used in the research; the Technology Integration Self-Efficacy Scale and
the Teachers’ Information and Communication Technologies Integration Approach Scale. Data
were analyzed with the t test, ANOVA and correlation test. Male teachers were determined to have
higher use of computer technologies and higher levels of ability to integrate it into lessons compared
to female teachers. Though there was no difference in use of technology levels of teachers, their
levels of ability to integrate technology into lessons differed according to seniority. The use of
computer technology by teachers and levels of ability to integrate into lessons did not differ
according to receiving in-service training related to technology and educational status. Teachers’
use of technology and levels of ability to integrate into lessons differed according to the hours of
lessons given using technology. As the levels of use of education technology by class teachers
increased, their levels of ability to integrate computer technology into lessons also increased.
