Factors Influencing Pre-service Teachers’ Satisfaction and Intention to Use the Internet: A Structural Equation Modeling

Abstract

<p>In the age of digital era where the Internet is playing an important and dominant role, the concern of the higher education to ensure that the Internet within the reach of the students is very important. However, little research has been reported to indicate the success of the concern in Indonesia. Therefore, This study was conducted to assess factors influencing Indonesian PSTs’ satisfaction (ST) and intention to use (IU) the Internet for learning through technology acceptance model (TAM). Data was gathered from a total of 596 pre-service teachers (PSTs) from five universities in Indonesia. The measurement and assessment of the model were developed through a partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results informed that Indonesian PSTs’ ST was strongly influenced by perceived ease of use (PEU) and IU. Besides, PSTs’ IU was predicted by Attitude (AT), PU and PEU.<em> </em></p>

TPACK–UotI: the validation of an assessment instrument for elementary school teachers

“…The use of the Internet (UotI) has been significant for educational purposes in modern society (Goldie, 2016). Many significant forms of Internet-based education have emerged (Habibi et al, 2021;Çelik et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2019). The YouTube EDU program, for example, provides access to millions of educational content (Çelik et al, 2012;Habibi et al, 2021).…”

Likewise, Apple's educational media collection, iTunes, allows learners to bypass conventional learning and classes instead of on-demand, free mobile learning (Chen and You, 2010;Khan et al, 2015;Habibi et al, 2021).…”
