Reporter: Abigail Cole
Advances in computing and information technology are changing the way people
meet and communicate. People can meet, talk, and work together outside
traditional meeting and office spaces. For instance, with the introduction of
software designed to help people schedule meetings and facilitate decision or
learning processes, is weakening geographical constraints and changing
interpersonal communication dynamics. Information technology is also
dramatically affecting the way people teach and learn.
As new information technologies infiltrate workplaces, home, and classrooms,
research on user acceptance of new technologies has started to receive much
attention from professionals as well as academic researchers. Developers and
software industries are beginning to realize that lack of user acceptance of
technology can lead to loss of money and resources.
In studying user acceptance and use of technology, the TAM is one of the most
cited models. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was developed by Davis to
explain computer-usage behavior. The theoretical basis of the model was
Fishbein and Ajzen's Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA).
The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is an information systems (System
consisting of the network of all communication channels used within an
organization) theory that models how users come to accept and use a technology,
The model suggests that when users are presented with a new software package, a
number of factors influence their decision about how and when they will use it,
notably:
Perceived usefulness (PU) - This was defined by Fred Davis as "the degree to
which a person believes that using a particular system would enhance his or her
job performance".
Perceived ease-of-use (PEOU) Davis defined this as "the degree to which a
person believes that using a particular system would be free from effort"
(Davis, 1989).
The goal of TAM is "to provide an explanation of the determinants of computer
acceptance that is general, capable of explaining user behavior across a broad
range of end-user computing technologies and user populations, while at the
same time being both parsimonious and theoretically justified".
According to the TAM, if a user perceives a specific technology as useful,
she/he will believe in a positive use-performance relationship. Since effort is
a finite resource, a user is likely to accept an application when she/he
perceives it as easier to use than another .As a consequence, educational
technology with a high level of PU and PEOU is more likely to induce positive
perceptions. The relation between PU and PEOU is that PU mediates the effect of
PEOU on attitude and intended use. In other words, while PU has direct impacts
on attitude and use, PEOU influences attitude and use indirectly through PU.
User acceptance is defined as "the demonstrable willingness within a user group
to employ information technology for the tasks it is designed to support"
(Dillon & Morris). Although this definition focuses on planned and intended
uses of technology, studies report that individual perceptions of information
technologies are likely to be influenced by the objective characteristics of
technology, as well as interaction with other users. For example, the extent to
which one evaluates new technology as useful, she/he is likely to use it. At
the same time, her/his perception of the system is influenced by the way people
around her/him evaluate and use the system.
Studies on information technology continuously report that user attitudes are
important factors affecting the success of the system. For the past several
decades, many definitions of attitude have been proposed. However, all theories
consider attitude to be a relationship between a person and an [*juego

object (Woelfel, 1995).
In the context of information technologies, is an approach to the study of
attitude - the technology acceptance model (TAM). TAM suggests users formulate
a positive attitude toward the technology when they perceive the technology to
be useful and easy to use (Davis, 1989).
A review of scholarly research on IS acceptance and usage suggests that TAM has
emerged as one of the most influential models in this stream of research The
TAM represents an important theoretical contribution toward understanding IS
usage and IS acceptance behaviors. However, this model -- with its original
emphasis on the design of system characteristics - does not account for social
influence in the adoption and utilization of new information systems.
