The statistical population included all faculty members of Payam Noor universities in the country who, according to their self-report, participated in one or more online courses and electronic trainings in the academic year of 2001-2001. The sample size of the study was 350 people who were selected by available method. . The findings showed that the correlation between the attitude towards online teaching and the self-efficacy of online teaching is 0.65; It is significant between the attitude towards online teaching and the effectiveness of online teaching at 0.73 and P<0.01. . In general, the results showed that the self-efficacy of online teaching plays a role as a mediating variable in the relationship between the attitude towards online teaching and the effectiveness of online teaching.
