Abstract
e-learning based on Web 2.0 applications is widely available for education to support teaching and learning efficiency and effectiveness. The objective of this research is to examine factors influencing teachers’ intention to use of Web 2.0 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 and validated it through face and content validity. For the data analysis, we applied exploratory factorial analyses (EFA). To assess the model, a covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) was used. The study involved 640 respondents who completed 35 online instrument items of seven validated variables. Results informed that there was a significant difference based on gender regarding intention to use Web 2.0; however, no significant differences were informed based on age and teaching subject. Besides, the findings also informed that TPACK, subjective norm, and facilitating condition significantly influenced intention to use Web 2.0.
Highlights
The development and implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education is unavoidable
To what extent do the independent variables predict the dependent variable? In accordance with the second research question, we proposed seven hypotheses (Fig. 1): H1: Perceived Usefulness (PU) will be significant in predicting Intention to Use Web 2.0 (IUW)
The fit index values for the factors included in this study are as follows: x2= 335 at p < .001; Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = .988; Tucker– Lewis Index (TLI) = .985; Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) =
Summary
The development and implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education is unavoidable. Web 2.0 has been a global impact on people to communicate [3]. It is defined as the generation of the World Wide Web in which it presents a more interactive and dynamic web experience from static HyperText Markup Language (HTML). Social networking services applications e.g. Wikis, Blogs, Social Media, Content Hosting Services, and Podcasting are becoming important technologies in enhancing learning [4]. These kinds of technologies provide more flexible learning strategies and approaches within the workplace or anyplace through the Internet [5]
