“…Using these search terms in Academic Search Premier, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, ERIC, and Education Full Text (H. W. Wilson), we found only three articles from peer-reviewed journals that specifically applied the TAM to higher education faculty who were teaching in an online environment (Alsofyani, Aris, Eynon, & Majid, 2012;Gibson, Harris, & Colaric, 2008;Huang, Deggs, Jabor, & Machtmes, 2011). A search on Google Scholar using "Technology Acceptance Model," "faculty," and "online" yielded 598 results, but a scan of these abstracts again revealed that most of the studies were using data about students or were focused on marketing or online employee training programs.…”

“…The idea that students might learn less in online courses is an issue of image, as we have already discussed, but it is also an issue of job relevance. Studies have shown that instructors were deeply concerned about students' ability to learn in online courses (Allen & Seaman, 2012a;Gibson et al, 2008;Osborne, Kriese, Tobey, & Johnson, 2009;Seaman, 2009;Shovein, Huston, Fox, & Damazo, 2005;Stewart et al, 2010). One survey of 10,700 faculty teaching online in the United States showed that 70% believed that learning outcomes for students in online courses were inferior or somewhat inferior to those experienced by students in face-to-face classes (Seaman, 2009).…”

Academic leaders can better implement institutional strategic plans to promote online programs if they understand faculty perceptions about teaching online. An extended version of a model for technology acceptance, or TAM2 (Venkatesh & Davis, 2000), provided a framework for surveying and organizing the research literature about factors that have influenced faculty's adoption of online delivery methods for courses and their willingness to continue to teach online. This paper presents the results of a synthesis of 67 empirical studies about faculty teaching online published between 1995 and 2015, using TAM2 constructs as an organizing framework. This validated model provided a lens for understanding research about faculty perceptions of the user-friendliness and ease of use of technology for online course delivery, as well as the overall experience of teaching online. Studies in this review revealed concerns among faculty regarding their perceived barriers to student success in online classes, uncertainty about their image as online instructors, technical support needs, and their desire for reasonable workload and manageable class enrollments in online classes.

“…Las medidas de otros modelos teóricos que consideran las denominadas normas subjetivas son incapaces de capturar la diferencia entre la motivación interna y los requerimientos externos para cumplir (Genuardi, 2004). El modelo TAM es una herramienta importante y viable para la investigación en el ámbito de las nuevas tecnologías y ya ha sido utilizado en la investigación de la gestión educacional (Gibson et al, 2008 MAYO-AGOSTO, 2015:1-181-196 En una redefinición llevada a cabo en el año 2000, Venkatesh y Davis (2000) proponen agregar otras dimensiones a su modelo original. Ellos proponen el denominado modelo TAM 2, el cual les ayudó a encontrar relaciones entre la puntuación obtenida en cada una de ellas y la probabilidad de uso de una nueva tecnología de la información (su carácter predictivo).…”

Recibido 27 de mayo de 2014 • Corregido 8 de enero de 2015 • Aceptado 27 de abril de 2015Resumen. El presente ensayo revisa la importancia de evaluar el grado de aceptación de nuevas tecnologías en las instituciones de educación superior en Chile, como un insumo para la gestión del aseguramiento de la calidad. En particular, se analizan los modelos de aceptación de la tecnología y de marcos tecnológicos, enfatizando los beneficios que traería su utilización en dicho ámbito. Comprender y facilitar los procesos de aceptación de nuevas tecnologías en la IES, identificando los elementos que la obstaculizan, permite mejorar la implementación de mecanismos de aseguramiento de la calidad y volver más eficiente y eficaz el proceso formativo.Palabras claves. Aseguramiento de la calidad, resistencia a la tecnología, gestión en educación superior.Abstract. This essay reviews the importance of assessing the degree of acceptance of new technologies in the Chilean higher education institutions, as an input for managing quality assurance. Technology Acceptance and Technology Frames models are described, emphasizing their benefits in this field. Understanding and facilitating the process of new technologies acceptance in the organizations, by identifying those elements which hinder it, allows improving the implementation of quality assurance mechanisms in order to make the educational process more efficient and effective.

“…The TAM's utility is evidenced by the numerous modifications and augmentations that have been made by researchers to address the question of technology acceptance as it relates to several variables (Gibson, 2010). Several attempts have been made to enhance the explanatory and predictive utility of TAM.…”

Electronic commerce is being increasingly developed as the modern phenomenon of business world. But this fact should be considered that in spite of all benefits electronic commerce brings about, it should not be observed as a purpose. Certainly necessary actions must be taken with regard to accepting of electronic commerce for applying and facilitating of it in the organization. The purpose of this research is designing a comprehensive model for acceptance of electronic exchanges technology in textile industry.The statistical population consists of all employees of buying and selling section of active companies of Iran's textile industry. We have applied random sampling method in this research. In order to test the conceptual model, structural equations' model has been used that the results of it demonstrate acceptance and confirmation of all studied factors . Amount of goodness indexes (AGFI= 0.93, GFI= 0.96) shows suitability of the model.
