“…Scales to measure this concept have arisen in last decades such as the Computer Self Efficacy (CSE) scale 54 which was subsequently redesigned. [55][56][57] In the present study, we updated the 17-item CSE scale, eliminating some of the items that are no longer relevant in view of the technology advances in the in recent years. The result was a construct measured using 12 items.…”

In the last years, hospitals in Brazil have made significant investments in adopting and implementing new hospital information system (HIS). Whether these investments will prove beneficial for these organizations depends on the support that will be provided to ensure the effective use of the information systems (IS) implemented and also on the satisfaction of its users.The purpose of this study is to propose a conceptual model, appropriate for the intention to use HIS, by adopting the system, service, and information qualities covered in the Information System Success Model proposed by DeLone and Mclean.In the present study, structural analysis applied to data from a sample of 393 HIS users showed the variables service quality, information quality, system quality and satisfaction to act as antecedents of HIS success. A novel finding of the study was the importance of the user's aptitude with respect to computer moderating the relationships of the model.Managerial implications are provided accordingly. Suggestions for introducing healthcare information system are then provided as well.

“…Alan yazında öz-yeterlik algılarının düzeyini ve hangi değişkenlerden oluştuğunu belirlemeye çalışan birçok çalışma bulunmasına rağmen bu algıları geliştirmeye yönelik çok az çalışma bulunduğu görülmektedir. Öz-yeterlik algıları değişken bir yapıya sahiptir ve çeşitli eğitimlerle artırılabilir (Torkzadeh, Pflughoeft ve Hall, 1999). Öz-yeterlik algılarının değişimi doğrudan deneyimler, dolaylı deneyimler, sözel ikna ve fizyolojik ve duyuşsal durumların etkisi ile oluşur (Bandura, 1986).…”

ABSTRACT.This study is realized because the previous research result shows that prospective teachers have not had an expected level of self-efficacy perceptions towards educational internet use. The purpose of this study is to enhance the level of self-efficacy perceptions of prospective teachers. We have designed, developed and implemented a new education program and investigated the efficacy of the program using one group pre-test post-test pre-experimental design. This study has been conducted with 28 prospective teachers and they were given 8 hours-course. Pre-test and post-test scores were analyzed with t test and also effect size was calculated. According to the findings, there is a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores with high effect size in favor of final-test scores. Providing direct experiences, the self-efficacy perceptions of the prospective teachers on internet use for educational purposes are increased. Prospective teachers' views about the course are also asked. It is recommended that similar programs and trainings can be developed for different target populations, with different needs, and different emerging technologies.

“…The most common example of an interface metaphor is the "desktop" metaphor, which is the primary interface model for desktop/personal computing. Accordingly, this research will explore computer interface metaphors as they relate to the economically underserved in comparison to cultures that are more economically affluent.In addition to exploring various computer interface metaphors, two other factors will be investigated: visual spatial ability [8] and computer related self-efficacy [9], which are known to influence computer performance. Perceived self-efficacy is defined as an individual's belief about his or her capabilities to achieve designated levels of performance that have influence over events that affect his or her life.…”

Effects of socio-economic status on interface metaphor use and computer performance

Considering the rapid movement of the United States and other countries towards an information society, it is of great importance to provide the masses with access to computer technology and its ever-growing benefits. In many cases, "access" means having the actual technology (computer hardware); other times "access" involves the designing of the computer interface so that the user can effectively learn to use it. This research addresses a problem that centers on the fact that apparent disparities persist in computer use/access among racial minorities, persons of lower economic status and lower education here in the United States [1; 2; 3; 4]. As our nation becomes progressively more information driven, the people (all people) need to have access to tools that will help them to exploit the use of the information provided. Individuals who lack access will be at a great social and economic disadvantage.There may be various interventions and solutions that can and should be used to dismantle the problem existing between the technology "haves" and "have-nots." However, one aspect of the problem could be associated with culture and its influence on cognition. Therefore, one solution may involve computer design interventions that take the influence of culture on cognition into account. For example, Nesbitt and Norenzayan [5] report that cultural practices and cognitive processes are tied together. They also state that those cultural practices in turn guide certain kinds of cognitive processes. Nesbitt and Norenzayan [5] further specify that cultural schema and cultural models are produced within a cultural group. Cultural models are event schema that appropriately connect people with events, the social roles that they play, the objects they use, and the order of actions that they take. These models are the tools that individuals in cultural groups use to moderate how they function, perform rituals, and play games [5].There are many racial and ethnic cultures represented in the United States.Beyond the racial and ethnic cultures are those cultures defined by one's socioeconomic status.One could project that those differences in culture should be a consideration for building effective computer interface designs. A method to address the issue of cultural differences, and facilitate learning among users, is to select appropriate computer interface metaphors for a given cultural group. Interface metaphors provide the benefit of user familiarity [6]. These metaphors assist users in their expectations and predictions of computer system behavior or functionality [6]. Interface metaphors allow the user to exploit their current knowledge of other areas when learning how to use a computer [7]. The most common example of an interface metaphor is the "desktop" metaphor, which is the primary interface model for desktop/personal computing. Accordingly, this research will explore computer interface metaphors as they relate to the economically underserved in comparison to cultures that are more economically affluent.In addition to exp...
