This study reports on the level of ICT self-efficacy and the key sources that contribute to high ICT self-efficacy among the teachers of government primary schools of Bangladesh. A mixed-method design was used to guide the methodology of this study where a 5-point Likert scale (Technology Integration Self-Efficacy Scale, TISE scale) was used to collect data from 60 primary school teachers of Moulvibazar district to measure the level and 8 teachers who scored high among them were interviewed to identify the sources of high ICT self-efficacy. The study revealed that the levels of sampled teachers’ self-efficacy toward ICT integration were high. It was also found that prior experience of ICT knowledge, sound technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), capacity building programs and technological and educational support from different tiers including school were the key sources of teachers’ ICT self-efficacy.
