A Review on Adapted Models in Technology Acceptance

Abstract

The 21stcentury of education has changed the education system, particularly in teaching pedagogy. Technology's incorporation into teaching and learning has become a worldwide phenomenon. This paper aimsto review some models that were adapted and extended from the technology acceptance model (TAM). This paper focuses on modelstestedon practising and preservice educators’ acceptanceof specific technology. This study uses meta-analysis in reviewing the pattern of adapted models in technology acceptance from 2003 until 2021. Most of the studies resulted in very significant results. The results also suggested that Technology Acceptance Modelis a robust model in predicting educators’ behavioural intention in using new technology. Technology Acceptance Modelcan also be adapted and extended to indicateuser acceptance in other fields.More extensive review in the adapted model in technologyacceptance could be done since there are many other technology acceptance models such as Unified Theory of Technology Acceptance and Use of Technology
