Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use in ICT Support and Use for Teachers

Abstract

The need to determine the mediating role of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use in information communication technology (ICT) support and ICT use in practical experiences among teachers prompted this study. The study draws on questionnaire responses from 104 teaching staffs comprising 88 teachers from the University of Nigeria and 16 teachers from Indira Gandhi National Open University, India to test the hypotheses suggested. Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were set as mediators. Our report suggests the following: that association between ICT support and ICT use was positively significant, that teachers’ attitude towards ICT acceptance and use predicts actual use, and that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are kind of positive partial mediators to ICT supports and ICT use. Implications of these conclusions for education practice were discussed.
