Factors influencing intention to use web 2.0 in Indonesian vocational high schools

Abstract

E-learning based on Web 2.0 technology is widely available for education to support teaching and learning efficiency and effectiveness. The main objective of this research is to examine factors influencing teachers' Intention to Use Web 2.0 (IUW) into teaching in Indonesian Vocational High Schools (VHSs) using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) frameworks. Based on these two frameworks, we developed a survey instrument from previous related studies. The instrument was piloted; it was examined through factor analyses and Cronbach's alpha for the reliability. For the main data collection, this study involved 640 participants who completed 31 online items of seven validated variables. For data analysis, we applied Analysis of Variance and t-test, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). To assess the model, a Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) was used. Results informed that there was a significant difference based on gender regarding IUW; however, no significant differences were informed based on age and subject area. The findings also informed that TPACK, Subjective Norm (SN), and Facilitating Condition (FC) significantly influenced IUW.
