Abstract
Project based learning(PBL) is an innovative instructional strategy focusing on practice and participation, which emphasizes problem solving and integrates a variety of authentic learning approaches. As such, PBL is an appropriate instructional strategy to realize "learner-centered" and "ability-centered" education. As the core of teaching, whether teachers are willing to use the online system for PBL has become a key factor. Based on this, to investigate the influence of teachers' emotions on their intention to use the PBL online system is helpful to improve teachers' teaching. Using 196 Taiwan college teachers attending the workshops of PBL online system as the participants, this study combined TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) with PAD (pleasure, arousal, dominance) to propose a new, integrated model to clarify the impact of teachers’ emotions on the intentions to use the PBL online system. The results showed that: Among the original TAM, the variables of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were positive to the attitude and the attitude was positive to the intention of using the PBL online system; For the variables of PAD, the variables of pleasure and arousal were positive to the attitude and the variable of dominance was positive to the variable of perceived ease of use.
Highlights
Project based learning(PBL) is an innovative instructional strategy focusing on practice and participation, which emphasizes problem solving and integrates a variety of authentic learning approaches
In the past few years, many studies based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) proposed by Davis [5] have been used to explore the intention of college teachers to use online teaching or information technology [6]-[10]
Si Zhang and Yongfan Li [9] subdivided the external variables of the original TAM into social routines, individual characteristics and system characteristics, and constructed another integrated model; Lina Yang and Zhijun Yan [10] tested the impact of original TAM variables on behavioral intentions and discussed new variables such as individual identification of the environment and the quality of information provided by the system
Summary
Project based learning(PBL) is an innovative instructional strategy focusing on practice and participation, which emphasizes problem solving and integrates a variety of authentic learning approaches. Using 196 Taiwan college teachers attending the workshops of PBL online system as the participants, this study combined TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) with PAD (pleasure, arousal, dominance) to propose a new, integrated model to clarify the impact of teachers’ emotions on the intentions to use the PBL online system. The key is to allow teachers to generate the willingness to use this system for PBL in the training process From this point of view, what factors involved in the activity will affect their subsequent intentions to use the system is the first problem to be clarified, which will provide more grounds to follow in the future’s training plan. In the past few years, many studies based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) proposed by Davis [5] have been used to explore the intention of college teachers to use online teaching or information technology [6]-[10]. Research on this topic is still a minority, and there is still much room for further development
