Abstract
This research aims to analyze and compare correlation between fields of study and internet and professional skills of Mazandran school teachers. The study method is descriptive in correlation type. The population of the study includes all secondary level teachers out of whom 384 subjects have been chosen by korjesi-Morgan table using simple, random, cluster and combined methods. The data were collected using a 10-question multiple choice test to assess internet skills with difficulty coefficient of 0.46 and a 20-question questionnaire to assess the components of teachers’ professional skills with the reliability of 0.85. The data have been analyzed by Pearson correlation test using SPSS software. The findings indicated that there is a meaningful relationship between teachers' internet skills and the components of professional skills in technical-vocational fields of study. However, no meaningful relationship exists between internet skills and teachers' professional skills in theoretical fields. The findings imply that teachers’ internet skills and professional skills are the highest in technical-vocational fields and the teachers in theoretical fields have the least internet and professional skills among the educational fields of study.
