Technology Acceptance By Primary School Teachers: An Analysis Using The Tam Model

Authors : Zendagui Amina .

Abstract

This study aims to explore the determinants of technology acceptance among primary school teachers in Tlemcen, Algeria. It examines how perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU) influence attitude (ATT) and, consequently, behavioural intention (INT) to use educational technologies. Data were collected from 200 teachers and analyzed using SPSS 25, with confirmatory factor analysis followed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the proposed hypotheses. The results indicate that PEOU positively impacts PU, and both PEOU and PU significantly affect ATT. Attitude, in turn, strongly predicts the behavioural intention to use technology. These findings emphasize the importance of creating a supportive environment to facilitate technology adoption.
