Özet

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is a measure to assess the underlying reasons about the use of a technology. In this study an extended version of TAM were used. This extended version composed of three factors. These are “perceived motivation towards learning environment”, “perceived usefulness” and “perceived ease of use”. In this study, the learning environment of a distance course was investigated to see students’ perceptions. This distance course was delivered from one university to the other university via video-conferencing with ITL Learning Gateway content management system during the whole semester. The participants were the 32 first year vocational higher education institution students. The descriptive findings revealed that each factor of TAM perceived by students as having moderate advantages. It is believed that the underlying reason of this situation was based on the students’ low computer competency and e-learning experiences.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate students’ perceptions of learning environment of a distance course through Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), a measure to assess the underlying reasons about the use of a technology. This distance course was delivered from one university to the other university via video-conferencing with ITL Learning Gateway content management system in one semester. An extended version of TAM was used as conceptual framework, which composed of three factors: “perceived motivation towards learning environment”, “perceived usefulness” and “perceived ease of use”. A total of 32 first year vocational higher education institution students who registered for this distance course participated in this study. Data were collected through a questionnaire based on the extended version of TAM. The findings revealed that each factor of TAM was perceived by students as “moderately advantageous.” This perception could be due to students’ low computer competency and e-learning experiences.
