Abstract: | This study examined pre-service teachers’ self-reported behavioral intentions to use technology. Three hundred and fourteen
participants completed a survey questionnaire measuring their responses to six constructs from a research model that extends
the technology acceptance model (TAM) by including facilitating conditions and subjective norm. Structural equation modeling
was used as the main technique for data analysis. This study contributes to the growing interests in using information science
models to explain intention to use technology in educational contexts. The results of this study showed that the TAM constructs
were significant in explaining pre-service teachers’ intention to use technology. Although facilitating conditions and subjective
norm had significant effects on behavioral intention to use technology, they were mediated by attitude toward usage, perceived
usefulness, and perceived ease of use. Overall, this study indicated the TAM has sufficient explanatory powers to explain
pre-service teachers’ intention to use technology in an educational environment. |
