Variance analysis (three-way ANOVA) was performed to determine whether there were significant differences in pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy scores in terms of gender, grade level and computer experience. The results suggest that there was no significant difference in participants’ educational Internet usage self-efficacy beliefs with respect to gender and grade level, but there was significant difference in participants’ educational Internet use self-efficacy beliefs in terms of computer experience. According to the results of the study, pre-service teachers who are more experienced in using the internet have higher educational Internet use self-efficacy beliefs.
