High school science teachers’ acceptance of using distance education in the light of UTAUT

Abstract

This research aimed at developing hypotheses based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model and adopting a proposed model that considers the basic structures (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions) as it represents the technology features "distance education (DE)", which are independent variables that affect the dependent variables (behavioral intention (BI) to use DE), taking into consideration the moderating factors (gender, experience, and technological self-efficiency). The research adopted a tool to reveal science teachers' acceptance of using DE in the light of UTAUT, 120 teachers responded online to the tool. The results indicated that the teachers' acceptance of DE was high. It is possible to predict that teachers have BI to use DE, that gender has no effect on BI, and there are differences between the research model variables due to the teaching experience favoring teachers with less teaching experience.

The intersection of music and arts education and technology: assessing Google Meet’s usability in a case of a prominent local college

“…Studies were able to accentuate essential factors that may significantly affect students' perception of the serviceability of Google Meet as a pedagogical platform by adopting various models and theories such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and the Expanded Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) from various disciplines (Aiman et al, 2022;Alvi, 2021;Brandford Bervell et al, 2021). Aside from these models, other factors were also added to predicting students' system utilization (Suwarno, 2022;Tolba & Youssef, 2022). Based on these pieces of evidence, these published works provided essential and critical information helping other educational institutions address the barriers and challenges to facilitate quality learning experiences in an online learning modality.…”

Virtual Physical Education: Google Meet as an Alternative Learning Tool for Skill-based Concepts

“…Additionally, there have been few recent studies that have been able to utilize the Uni ed Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and the Expanded Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) providing valuable information to various HEIs the identi ed factors that affect students' acceptance and perception of Google Meet and its implementation to various disciplines globally (Aiman et al, 2022;Alvi, 2021;Brandford Bervell et al, 2021). Aside from these, there have also been studies that added other critical factors that predict students' utilization of a system (Suwarno, 2022;Tolba & Youssef, 2022). As mentioned above, these scholarly works were able to provide important information to help other schools address the needs and demands to facilitate a quality learning experience.…”
