Abstract

The rapid advancement of information and communication technology (ICT) has significantly affected the education sector, transforming traditional teaching methods and promoting the adoption of digital tools. This study aims to explore the application of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in understanding the acceptance and use of educational technologies among teachers. Specifically, the study investigates the relationships between perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude toward use, and intention to use educational tools. The study used a quantitative research design, with data collected from a sample of 55 participants, including teachers and non-teachers, through structured questionnaires. The sample included 65.5% teachers and 34.5% non-teachers, with varying years of teaching experience. The results revealed that perceived usefulness and attitude toward use had Cronbach alpha values of 0.929 and 0.909, respectively, indicating excellent reliability. Perceived ease of use and intention to use showed good reliability, with values of 0.771 and 0.741. A paired sample t-test showed a significant difference between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness (t=-2.795, p=0.007) and between perceived usefulness and attitude towards use (t=3.867, p=0.000). Furthermore, regression analysis showed that perceived ease of use significantly predicted perceived usefulness, accounting for 52% of the variance (adjusted R² = 51%). Perceived usefulness also significantly predicted attitude toward use, explaining 42% of the variance (adjusted R² = 41%). Furthermore, perceived usefulness and attitudes toward use predicted 78% of the variance in intention to use (adjusted R² = 77%). In conclusion, while participants found the educational tools very useful, they faced challenges with ease of use, and their attitudes toward using these tools were less favorable than their actual intention to use them. These findings highlight the importance of addressing usability concerns to enhance the adoption of educational technologies.
