Sumario:Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is one of the tools available to enhance teaching and learning in schools. But in many developing countries, ICT is just being introduced and its integration is limited to schools. This study is an endeavor to examine the factors that affect attitude of Bhutanese teachers towards adopting ICT in teaching. Four factors - Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), Facilitating Conditions (FC) and Social Influence (SI) - have been used for regression analysis to find out their significance. The result of regression analysis of the data collected from 466 Bhutanese teachers revealed that all the factors significantly affected their attitude. However, Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) have been seen to have greater significance than Facilitating Condition (FC) and Social Influence (SI).
