STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVE OF LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: AN EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE MODEL IN EMERGING COUNTRIES
Keywords:
Technology Acceptance Model, e-Class, Learning Management System, Students’ PersepctiveAbstract
The Usage of Information Technology in Education sector has played an important role. E-Class is one of Learning Management System that have been implemented in Duta Wacana Christian University since 2009. This software plays as a supporting role in the learning activities. There are functionalities that support the learning activities.
The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) proposed by Davis (1989) was a method to investigate the relationship between the Actual use of technology with the behavior and intention of its user. In this study, we investigate the relationship of actual use of technology with some constructs, provide by the method. 315 students from different grade and faculty are actively join in this research by answering the questions. Students from different grade and different major are involved in this research.
This research use constructs : Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Attitude Towards using Technology, Behavioral Intention Use. These constructs is evaluated against the Actual Technology Use. Some external variables are also added into the model. As the result, there are some significant different perception for every students in different faculty. It is also found that there is a significant relationship between Perceived Ease of Use and Actual Technology Use. The study also finds that there is a significant relationship between Attitude toward Using Technology and Behavioral Intention to use Technology. And also it has significant relationship between Actual Technology Use and Behavioral Intention to use Technology.
