“…Cigdem and Topcu (2015) study the acceptance of a learning management system tool and test the significance of military instructors’ perceived ease of use. In another study, Cigdem and Oncu (2015) conclude that perceived usefulness has a significant impact on military students’ acceptance of e-assessments, whereas Cigdem et al (2016) show the significant impact of perceived ease of use on military students who intend to use Web-based testing. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study in the literature regarding the acceptance of IoT in the military field.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the perception of military people regarding the use of a network of various intelligent objects, the Internet of Things (IoT), in the future battlespace. Design/methodology/approach A research model that analyzes military acceptance of the IoT is proposed. The model is created by integrating the technology acceptance model and diffusion of innovation theory. Then an empirical study is conducted through a survey, and the proposed hypotheses are tested. The findings are obtained thanks to the structural equation model (SEM), which clearly reveals the overall dependency relationship among independent and dependent variables even when a dependent variable is an independent variable in another relationship. Findings The study clearly reveals the significant factors effecting the attitude toward the use of IoT in the military. It also uncovers potential barriers to the adoption of IoT in the military domain. Especially, risk factor seems to have no significant impact on the acceptance of IoT, and also, there seems to be a positive relationship between risk and trust contrary to an expected negative relationship. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first research analyzing the acceptance of IoT in the military domain through hypotheses in a SEM.

“…(4) Can content of WBT, perceived playfulness, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness predict learners' behavioral intention to use the WBT? Different formats of WBT systems were utilized previously in various areas such as computer networking (Cigdem & Oncu, 2015), foreign language learning (Cigdem, Ozturk & Topcu, 2016;Fritz, 2003), undergraduate social psychology (Johnson & Kivinemi, 2009), introduction to psychology (Coulter-Kern, Fogle and Sibert, 2011) exercise physiology (Dobson, 2008), micro-economics (McCausland, 2003, dental sciences (Henly, 2003), physiology for biomedical sciences (De Kleijn et al, 2013), chemical engineering (Sorensen, 2013), mathematics (Zgraggen, 2009), aerospace education (Skrabut, 2006) and biology (Orr & Foster, 2013). There is a need to study WBT systems in language teaching contexts.…”

ETKU Dergisi 2011 yılından itibaren yılda iki defa düzenli olarak yayınlanmaktadır. Educational Technology Theory and Practice Journal is published regularly twice a year since 2011. AbstractAs technological advancements are increasing these days, there is a growing interest in the use of web technologies within testing applications that support teaching and learning processes in all educational domains. One of the factors that is believed to influence such applications is learners' behavioral intentions to use technology. This study has a purpose of examining the constructs that are directly or indirectly affecting participants' behavioral intention to use listening exams delivered web-based in the 2015-2016 academic year in a 'Foreign Language' course with the participation of 929 students. The acceptance model related with computer based assessment was utilized to examine the predictors of participants' behavioral intention. An online questionnaire was administrated to collect data and data were analyzed through linear regression analyses. The results of the research revealed that perceived usefulness was influenced by content of test, goal expectancy, perceived ease of use, and social influence. Additionally, facilitating conditions and computer self-efficacy significantly predicted perceived ease of use. Also, perceived playfulness was affected by content, goal expectancy and perceived usefulness. Finally, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and perceived playfulness were found to induce direct effect on behavioral intention to use web-based listening test. As a result, web-based testing is expected to be utilized by participants if it is playful, useful, and ease to use and it is seen as playful when it is useful. ÖzTeknolojik gelişmelerde yaşanan artış sonucunda, tüm eğitim alanlarındaki öğretme ve öğrenme süreçlerini destekleyen test uygulamaları içinde web tabanlı teknolojilerin kullanılması konusuna ilgi gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Bu tür uygulamaları etkilediğine inanılan faktörlerden biri, öğrencilerin teknolojiyi kullanma niyetleridir. Bu çalışma, 2015-2016 akademik yılında "Yabancı Dil" dersinde 929 öğrencinin katılımıyla yapılan web tabanlı dinleme sınavlarını ilişkin katılımcıların kullanma niyetlerini doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak etkileyen faktörleri incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bilgisayar Tabanlı Değerlendirme Kabul Modeli, katılımcıların kullanma niyetlerinin yordayıcılarını belirlemek için kullanılmıştır. Verilerin toplanması için çevrimiçi bir ölçek uygulanmış ve veriler doğrusal regresyon analizleri ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçları, algılanan yararlılığın, testin içeriği, hedef beklentisi, algılanan kullanım kolaylığı ve sosyal etki tarafından etkilendiğini ortaya koymuştur. Buna ek olarak, kolaylaştırıcı koşullar ve bilgisayar öz-yeterliliği algılanan kullanım kolaylığını önemli ölçüde yordamaktadır. Ayrıca, algılanan eğlencelik, içerik, amaç beklentisi ve algılanan faydalılıktan etkilenmiştir. Son olarak, algılanan kullanım kolaylığı, algılanan faydalılık ve algılana...

“…Both teachers and learners can access the results of the tests that are automatically generated. Convenience, accessibility, ease of use, and efficiency are among the advantages of web‐based assessments platforms (Cigdem et al., 2016; Matthews et al., 2019; Williams & Williams, 2010). Learners can access the assessments at their convenience from any device of their choice.…”

This study examines the factors that impact learners’ satisfaction with web‐based assessment platforms designed by publishers. The research model investigates the intermediate role of autonomy and competency from the self‐determination theory. The data are collected from 324 undergraduate business students in a mid‐western U.S. institution who used McGraw‐Hill Connect. The hypotheses were tested and validated using PLS‐SEM analytical procedures. The results show that competency, autonomy, perceived quality, and feedback have direct impact on learners’ satisfaction. Self‐efficacy, quality, and feedback are antecedents to competency and autonomy. Competency is a full mediator between self‐efficacy and satisfaction. The results and their implications are discussed.
