The Evolution of Technology Acceptance Model (Tam) and Recent Progress on Technology Acceptance Research in Elt: State of the Art Article

Abstract

The vast development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) improves the integration of technology for the academic purpose. This phenomenon then raises an issue of technology acceptance, which becomes an interesting field of investigation for many scholars. In this respect, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has proven to be a robust, powerful, and parsimonious framework for predicting user acceptance of technology integration in various fields (Lai, 2017; Rondan-Cataluna et al., 2015). Although there is a lot of research studies reported the use of TAM and its developed versions in investigating the technology acceptance in the educational field, there is no publication that trying to map current studies which focus on educational technology acceptance research especially in ELT. Based on the needs of providing such information, this article would present the state of the art of the current research trends on the application of TAM framework in investigating ICT integration acceptance in ELT. The main part of this article would describe the evolution of TAM framework, followed by the discussion of recent research results concerning the technology acceptance, and the future trends of technology acceptance research in ELT. This state of the art article is expected to inspire other researchers to conduct further studies on technology acceptance in ELT and also suggest the ELT practitioners about the current and future trends in technology integration for academic purpose.

The effect of paylater on purchase decision and continuance intention in generation Z at GoFood application

“…This model, which Fred Davis initially presented in 1986 and which, has continued to improve to the present day. The findings of earlier studies [19] show that numerous elements were used by researchers to produce TAM, where TAM development changes are an expansion of components referred to as external variables.…”

Analisis Penerimaan Sistem Aplikasi Pencatatan Informasi Keuangan (SIAPIK) Menggunakan Technology Acceptance Model Pada UKM Batik Garutan

“…Riset penerimaan teknologi telah lama dipraktekkan di berbagai bidang, seperti ekonomi, bisnis, kesehatan, dan juga pendidikan yang telah dilaporkan oleh berbagai sintesis ulasan penelitian [12]. Ada dua variabel spesifik yang dikembangkan dan divalidasi dalam membangun TAM, yaitu perceived usefulness (PU) dan perceived ease of use (PEOU).…”

“…Perkembangan pada TAM 3 ini sudah mnambahkan dimensi baru pada perceived ease of use. Pengembangan TAM tersebut bertujuan dalam membentuk asumsi dasar yang dapat memprediksi, dan menjelaskan perilaku yang mendorong penggunaan teknologi yang terus berkembang [12]. TAM diyakini menjadi sebuah teori, selain terdapatnya pembaharuan didasarkan pada perkembangan keilmuan yang ada, teori TAM selalu menjadi dasar untuk pengembangan studi empiris tentang kesiapan pemanfaatan teknologi.…”

Extended Technology Acceptance Model to Examine the Use of Google Forms – based Lesson Playlist in Online Distance Learning

“…The constructs used in examining students' acceptance of technology were adopted from Fathema et al (2015). Hence, this study highly recommends future researchers explore other Extended TAM constructs in users with different cultures Hanif et al, 2018, different ages and education levels (Putra, 2019), and various learning environments. The current research also suggests conducting a longitudinal survey (Salloum et al, 2019) and a mixed-method approach (Fearnley & Amora, 2020) to provide a deep understanding of the power of Extended TAM constructs.…”
