Measuring Students’ Use of Zoom Application in Language Course Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)

Abstract

The study uses technology acceptance model (TAM) to gain insights into user reactions to the technology adopted for language learning. The study aims to analyze the correlation between the variables of TAM on using Zoom application in language learning, in addition to examining how gender and experience influence the use of technology. The participants of this study comprise of 75 undergraduate English-as-Foreign-Language learners who have studied for their courses online during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the study reveal a strong positive correlation between the actual use of Zoom and the students' attitudes and behavioral intention. In addition, there is a positive correlation between computer self-efficacy and other variables (i.e. PU, actual use, PEU, attitude and behavioral intention). Further, while the results reveal that there is no correlation between the gender and any variables of the model, it has been found that experience is positively correlated with the variables of TAM.

Learning Management System Usage among Undergraduates in a Developing Context: An Extension to the Technology Acceptance Model

“…In accordance with the above, it is evident that there are more researchers who have used Subjective Norm, for example [59], [78], [82], [83], [1], [26], [85], [86], [87], [88], [89], [90], [91], [92], Experience in the internet & computer [59], [77], [81], [82], [84], [85], [93], [94], [95], [96], [97] Self-Efficacy [59], [83], [84], [85], [1], [71], [72], [73], [86], [95], [98], [99], [74], [97], Technical Support [59], [42], [73], [74], [83], [100], [101], [102] and Anxiety [72], [73],…”

“…Researchers [96], [97], [122] emphasized that Experience in the internet and Computer has no significant impact on Perceived Usefulness while other researchers [59], [76], [82], [94], [95], [123] identified that Experience in the internet and computer has a significantly impact on Perceived Usefulness further confirmed that Experience in the internet and Computer has a significant positive impact on the Perceived Usefulness [76], [82], [94], [95], [123] while researcher [59] found that Experience in the internet and Computer has a significant negative impact on the Perceived Usefulness.…”

“…Researchers [96], [126] emphasized that Experience in the internet and Computer has no significant impact on Perceived Ease of Use while other researchers [59], [76], [82], [94], [95], [97], [123] identified that Experience in the internet and Computer has a significant positive impact on computers and the Perceived Ease of Use.…”

“…Researchers [86], [97], emphasized that Self-Efficacy has no significant impact on Perceived Usefulness while other researchers [59], [72], [74], [76], [95], [99], [137], identified that Self-Efficacy has a significant positive impact on Perceived Usefulness. Thus, based on the above justification following preposition is formulated.…”

Exploring and Developing an Industrial Automation Acceptance Model in the Manufacturing Sector Towards Adoption of Industry 4.0

“…In this vein, TRI measured people's tendency to accept and utilise modern technologies [39]. The four TRI dimensions are listed as follows [39,40] Although the original TAM was established in 1989 and TRI was established in 2000, both theories are still valid and recently there are still numerous researchers are using TAM and TRI models to measure the user acceptance and readiness of new emerging technologies on various applications such as acceptance of Airbnb sharing accommodation [64], online learning system [65], facial recognition payment [66], e-learning adoption [67], students' use of Zoom application [68], online food delivering ordering services [69], adoption of self-service technology [70] and virtual reality in fashion retailing [71].…”
