However, only technology and information show a significant direct effect on teacher professionalism, while professional education and training and teacher commitment have positive but insignificant effects. Pedagogical competence has a positive and significant influence on teacher professionalism and serves as a significant mediating variable between professional training, teacher commitment, technology, and teacher professionalism.
