Preferred Abstract (Original): 

This research aims to identify and interpret the psychological and ‎social incentives that affect the adoption and use of IT‏ ‏‎(Information ‎Technology) in Palestinian schools. It will attempt to help find ways to ‎overcome the potential obstacles that obstruct the ideal use of IT in the ‎educational sector. In this research, the influence of social and ‎psychological variables on IT use in schools was examined using TAM ‎‎(Technology Acceptance Model). It was found that age, English language ‎skills, computer skills and technology availability have a positive impact ‎on the teachers' attitude towards IT and the use of IT in the educational ‎process.‎
