The Elementary School Teachers Adoption of Learning Management System: A UTAUT Model Analysis

Abstract

This study investigates how primary school teachers are integrating Learning Management Systems (LMS) using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) approach. A four-point Likert scale questionnaire including characteristics like Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, Hedonic Motivation, Price Value, and Habit was used in this study, which involved 426 instructors from 84 public and private primary schools. Google Forms was used to collect the data, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze it. The results of the study show that these factors have a strong correlation with teachers' behavioral intentions and user behavior with reference to LMS, demonstrating excellent reliability and validity. These results align with the UTAUT model, contributing to the understanding of factors influencing LMS adoption among elementary school teachers. The implications suggest that policymakers and practitioners can utilise these findings to design more effective strategies for enhancing technology adoption in future educational contexts.
