Kaewsaiha, Pongrapee; Chanchalor, Sumalee
Education and Information Technologies, v26 n3 p2919-2939 May 2021
This study aimed to investigate the use of learning management systems (LMSs) in higher education institutions to analyze factors affecting usage behavior. The participants were 584 students and 42 teachers from various disciplines in higher education institutions in Thailand who used LMSs at different levels including discontinued users. Data were analyzed based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results indicated that perceived resource (within the information system concept), job relevance, and subjective norms were good predictors of LMS usage. Perceived resource had the most substantial influence on usage behavior, while the influence of voluntariness was found to be insignificant. The model revealed different perceptions between students and teachers with regard to LMS usage. High levels of confidence were shown due to variations in the samples, with Cronbach's alpha values between 0.728 and 0.979.
