Abstract:

“The behavioral intention (BI) of teachers to use technology is an important factor
in the success of technology use in classrooms. Many models have been developed
and extended in different contexts by adding various independent variables to the
two initial variables of the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) (Davis,1989):
Perceived usefulness (PU) and Perceived ease of use (PEOU) to determine
teachers’ BI to use technology. However, not many have attempted to investigate
the role of Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and
Facilitating Conditions (FC) in determining teachers’ BI to use technology.
Further, mediation through PU and PEOU from TPACK and FC to determine BI
remains untested. To address these gaps, this study used an extended TAM
(eTAM) model to investigate factors influencing teachers’ BI to use technology.
Employing convenience sampling technique, an electronic survey questionnaire
consisting of 22 items was distributed across the schools in two western districts of
Bhutan. A total of 207 in-service school teachers voluntarily responded to the
survey. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to analyse the data; first, to
examine whether there is any direct influence of TPACK and FC on BI or not, and
then the mediating effects of PU and PEOU from TPACK and FC to BI. The
findings revealed that there was no evidence of a direct influence from TPACK
and FC on BI, though there was a significant effect of TPACK and FC on teachers’
BI when mediated through PU and PEOU.”
