The purpose of this study is to explore the vital factors that influence teacher's intention to use technology in higher education. PLS-SEM has been used to analyze the data collected from 201 business university teachers. The study strives to examine the impact of eight variables i.e. Performance expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social influence, facilitating conditions, individual self-efficacy, human assisted self-efficacy, Computer Anxiety and attitude on teacher's intention to use technology using the technology acceptance model of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Usage of Technology. The empirical findings revealed that the social influence, facilitating conditions, individual self-efficacy and attitude have the significant and positive impact, while computer anxiety has a negative significant impact on the intention to use technology. However, performance expectancy, effort expectancy and human assisted self-efficacy have an insignificant impact on teacher's intention to use technology. The present study provides an inclusive view to understanding the acceptance of technology by teachers. The strength of present research lies in studying the extended version of UTAUT which will guide the university administrators and policy makers in understating those factors that influence the technology acceptance among teachers.
Integration of computers in teaching-learning has been a positive development in the field of education. However, there is a dire need of knowing the use of computers in teaching. Therefore, it is necessary to study the attitude of pre-service teachers related to the use of computers in instructional practices of Mathematics. The current study aims to explore the attitudes of pre-service teachers towards the use of computer in teaching Mathematics. A quantitative approach was used within it descriptive cross-sectional survey research design was adopted. The sample of present the study consists of (n=111) pre-service teachers of teacher training colleges. The reliability of the study was found as Cronbach α=.778. The results revealed that the pre-service teachers have an encouraging attitude towards the usage of computer in Mathematics. Overall, attitudes of pre-service teachers were supporting the idea of technological integration in Mathematic.
Many reforms have been taking place in the development and implementation of education curriculum across the globe to uplift the standard of education. In 2006, the Government of Pakistan had revised the science curriculum of secondary grades after few decades to meet the challenges of modern times. The current study has adopted a quantitative approach it the descriptive research design was used. The data was collected through a questionnaire. The reliability of the questionnaire was found to Cronbach alpha =0.723 which is reliable. The percentages, mean and standard deviation was calculated. The findings of the study revealed that the science curriculum could not be implemented properly due to the inclusion of extra topics in the science curriculum of secondary grade, time constraints and availability of laboratory equipment. This study recommends the syllabus should be condensed and extra topics from the syllabus must be removed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
