This study aims to discuss high school teachers’ expectation of Internet-aided teaching, knowledge sharing path, and major factors that make influence. The study also intends to explore effects of information technology on knowledge sharing inclination and teachers’ teaching efficacy based on Technology Acceptance Model suggested by Davis (1989a). Methods used in this study were questionnaire survey and case study. The findings of this study are as follows: As to teachers’ specialty of high school teachers’ knowledge sharing model, "perceived usefulness" and "perceived ease of use" have direct influence. The degree of "perceived ease of use" has an effect on "perceived usefulness" while the degree of "perceived usefulness" has an impact on teachers’ "knowledge sharing inclination". However, "perceived ease of use" does not produce a direct effect on "knowledge sharing inclination", while "knowledge sharing inclination" has direct influence on "teachers’ teaching self-efficacy". In follow-up interviews, it is found that Internet provides significant aid for teachers’ "personal teaching efficacy", but does not produce apparent benefits for "classroom management efficacy". The discussion of interviews was focused on website, "Content", which was constructed by the Ministry of Education. The contents of this website (Appendix 1) include textbook-based materials,homeland curriculum materials, interactive teaching, links and full-text research. Although "Forum" in the Content offers Internet users to express their opinions and experience, in general, the website is mainly designed for resource sharing for teachers and students in Taiwan, and teaching experience interaction between teachers. Therefore, it is proved that the website, Content, has significant effects on "personal teaching efficacy" but no notable help to "classroom management efficacy". In conclusion, further modification of Content and other teaching-aided websites can take the findings as reference.
