Faculty Acceptance and Adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMS) using the Extended Technology Acceptance Model (ETAM)

Abstract

This paper examines various factors that influenced the acceptance and adoption of LMS among the faculty of the selected State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in Leyte and Biliran Provinces in the Philippines using the Extended Technology Acceptance Model (ETAM). Additionally, a cross-sectional survey, purposive sampling, and stratified sampling were all used in the study as part of a quantitative, non-experimental research design. A sample of 306 faculty members completed a Google Form survey. The mean, standard deviation, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and one-way ANOVA were used in data analysis. Further, the study found significant relationships between faculty factors and their perceived ease of LMS use and LMS usefulness. In addition, the faculty members perceived that the ease of LMS use significantly affected their attitude toward using LMS. Likewise, the faculty members also perceived that the usefulness of LMS significantly affected their attitude and acceptance of the use of LMS. Similarly, their attitude toward using the LMS significantly affected their acceptance of the use of the LMS. Moreover, the study's findings supported the validity of ETAM in measuring LMS acceptance and adoption.
