Evaluating the Intention to Use Technology among Student Teachers: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach

This study examined student teachers’ self-reported intentions to use technology. One hundred and fifty-nine participants completed a survey questionnaire measuring their responses to four constructs derived from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), a path analysis was conducted to analyze the data. The results of this study showed that the TAM is a valid model in explaining student teachers’ intention to use technology. Overall, this study indicated that attitude towards computer use had the largest effect on the intention to use technology, followed by perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use.
