This study aims to investigate basketball coaches' self-reported use and value of teaching methods, affinity to technology, and technology integration self-efficacy by age, educational level (lycée, undergraduate, graduate), and coaching certification categories (Mini Basket vs. Level 1-2-3 Coaching Certificates) in Moroccan context. To this end, a digital survey including scales related to teaching methods, Affinity to Technology Interaction (ATI), and Technology Integration Self-Efficacy (TISE) was sent to 884 basketball coaches. A total of 153 coaches (24 women and 129 men) completed the survey. The self-reported use and value of teaching methods data was analyzed by MANOVA, and the ATI and TISE data were analyzed by ANOVA (p<0.05). Findings indicated that the value given to productive athlete-initiated teaching methods with 18-24 and 25-34 years old coaches was higher than coaches with 55-65 years old (p<0.05). There were no significant differences among the coaches with respect to the use of teaching methods by coaches' ages (p>0.05). Descriptive data indicated that coaches use productive athlete-initiated teaching methods less than reproductive and productive problem-solving methods. According to the ATI findings, 18-24 years old coaches compared to 55-65 years old coaches and coaches with undergraduate and graduate degrees as compared to lycée degree had a higher affinity to technology (p<0.05). Moreover, compared to lycée degree, coaches with undergraduate and graduate degrees had higher technology integration self-efficacy (p<0.05). These findings indicated that coaches need continuing professional development programs for autonomy supportive athlete-centered teaching methods regardless of age. Affinity of technology and technology integration self-efficacy professional development programs should specifically target older coaches and coaches with lower educational levels/background.
