    Teacher motivation is phenomenal and can affect how commonly a teacher relies on technology methods for facilitating a classroom, lesson planning, engaging students, and used for other purposes. The aim and purpose of this study were to measure how technology use can affect teacher motivation and its use inside the classroom, as well as their measuring participants' self-perceived technology use proficiency through the TPACK framework. The participants in this study consisted of pre-service and in-service teachers working in Chile. The investigation was carried through 43 participants answering a questionnaire. Afterward, 11 participants volunteered to take part in individual interviews. The results of this study showed that the use of technology in some schools does not count with the best accessibility to resources and teacher training, which affects the motivation teachers hold to use certain technological resources for their classes. Additionally, the investigation results showed that in spite of their high self-reported proficiency in regard to technology use, several teachers do not consider themselves to be properly trained to employ it; where a lot of teachers explained they felt that the self-teaching process of learning how to use technology has affected their motivation when using technology.
