This study examines a sample (N=239) of pre-service teachers’ self-reported intention to use technology. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used as a research framework in which findings contribute to technology acceptance research by demonstrating the suitability of the TAM to explain the intention to use technology among educational users. Using the structural equation modelling for data analysis, a good fit was found for both the measurement and structural models. Overall, the results of this study offer evidence that the TAM is effective in predicting pre-service teachers’ intention to use technology. This paper concludes with a discussion of the limitations and recommendations for further study.

Snapchat, and Instagram are two social networks which recently gain their users after adopting such a feature called "Story" which allows a certain post to be disappeared after a certain time. This research takes up this technology trends analyzing the factors that probably affect the behavioral intention to use Snapchat and Instagram stories among generation Z. Factors are analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling, with basis model and variables from Technology Acceptance Model. Data collection was targeted to finished within 1 week using online questionnaire with respondent from Jakarta and Tangerang for 100 respondent that are using both Snapchat stories and Instagram Stories. There are two tools researcher usually use to analyze Structural Equation Modeling: SPSS AMOS and LISREL. In this research, researchers choose AMOS. From six hypothesis proposed for Snapchat analysis, four hypothesis is accepted, while the other two are rejected. Meanwhile, on Instagram Stories analysis, five hypothesis is accepted and one hypothesis is rejected. This study finds out the Social Presence is an exogenous variable which has a major role in affecting other variables. While Perceived Enjoyment influenced the behavioral intention to use Snapchat and Instagram Stories the most.

This study examines the applicability of an extended technology acceptance model (TAM) that incorporates trust, perceived risk, and self-enhancement as antecedents to the TAM constructs. Data collected from 299 Vietnamese online consumers, through a self-administered survey, were entered into a structural equation model using AMOS 23 to establish causality. The results partially confirm the applicability of TAM to the online shopping intentions of Vietnamese consumer, though contrary to expectations, perceived ease of use does not predict behavioral intentions. Trust and self-enchantment fit well with the TAM; the inclusion of perceived risk as an antecedent is questionable. The findings offer new opportunities for explaining TAM theory in light of Schwartz's value dimensions. This article thus concludes with a discussion of the research contributions and implications.

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) dalam Survei Bidang Kependudukan danKeluarga Berencana. Terjadi perubahan dalam teknik atau cara pengumpulan data dalam surveidi bidang kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana/KB (selanjutnya disebut Survei Kinerja danAkuntabilitas Program/SKAP) yang semula dilakukan secara manual dan paper based menjadisistem yang berbasis smartphone yang menggunakan platform Open Data Kit (ODK). Sistemini mengubah semua rangkaian pengumpulan data menjadi paperless dan electronic based.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (a) mengukur tingkat pengaruh perceived ease of use terhadapperceived usefulness ; (b) mengukur tingkat pengaruh perceived ease of use terhadapattitude towards using: (c) mengukur tingkat pengaruh perceived usefulness terhadap behaviorintention to use; (d) mengukur tingkat pengaruh perceived usefulness terhadap attitude towardsusing; (e) mengukur tingkat pengaruh attitude towards using terhadap behavior intention touse; dan (f) mengukur tingkat pengaruh behavior intention to use terhadap actual system usedalam survei berbasis smartphone bidang kependudukan dan keluarga berencana di PulauSumatera. Populasi dalam kajian ini adalah seluruh enumerator dan supervisor survei SKAPyang ada di Pulau Sumatera, kemudian sampelnya ditetapkan menurut teknik estimasi maximumlikehood (ML) yaitu minimal 100 dna maksimal 400 responden. Analisis data dilakukan denganSEM (Structural Equation Modelling) dengan software AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structure).Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dari enam hipotesis yang diajukan, terdapat dua hipotesisyang diterima, yaitu (a) perceived ease of use mempunyai hubungan yang positif denganPerceived usefulness dengan nilai CR -4.31 >±1,96 dan angka probabilitasnya 0,001 (<0,05)dan (b) behavioral Intention to Use mempunyai hubungan yang positif dengan Actual SystemUse dengan CR = 2,819 >±1,96 dan probabilitas/P = 0,005 (<0,05).

This study empirically tested the acceptance of electronic ticketing study on airplanepassengers in Lampung Province, using model Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Theproblems formulated to investigate in this research is how is the influence perception of youthand perception of benefit to attitude of using electronic ticketing to airplane passengers inLampung.The data were collected through survey method, by submitting questionnaires to respondents.The samples were taken by purposive / judgment sampling method to the user population thatis airplane passengers who have used electronic ticketing at least twice. The data wereprocessed from 100 respondents with structural equation model analysis technique (SEM)using software analysis of moment structure (AMOS) 18.The result of the data analysis indicates that exogenous construct variables perception of easeand perception of benefit have no significant effect on attitude of electronic ticketing usage onpassenger plane in Lampung.

The growth of technology allows people today to easily book hotel rooms according to their own needs and desires, this is possible thanks to the Virtual Hotel Operator (VHO) application in Indonesia. Seeing this situation, we need a model that is able to measure the extent to which the level of acceptance of the VHO mobile application. It is necessary to know the factors that indirectly influence acceptance in the use of VHO applications by combining the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which is used as the basic model which is the aim of this study. The quantitative approach was used in this study, while the data collection technique was using questionnaires. The data analysis technique uses linear regression. This research concludes that the compatibility and trust variables have an indirect effect on the intention to use the VHO mobile application. Keywords: TAM, Compatibility, Trust, VHO

The usage of Learning Management System (LMS) conducted in Blended Learning style is believed to increase students’ academic performance and their self-directed learning. Nonetheless, the success of students’ behavioural intention to use these e-learning platforms still remains unclear due to factors like self-directed learning, computer self-efficacy, satisfaction and perceived enjoyment and ESL. This preliminary study aims to incorporate factors that impact students’ self-directed learning of English language in achieving behavioural intention to use LMS with an extended model namely, SDLTAM, generalised for the Malaysian educational institutions. The original Technology Acceptance Model 1 by Davis (1989) was used as a theoretical framework of this study. However, the last variable Actual Use was excluded in this study. A sample of 338 respondents from both private and public universities in Malaysia took part in the 48-items survey. The data were analysed through Structural Equation Modelling through SPSS AMOS 24. The SEM AMOS revealed that the factors were found to moderately fit into the proposed model. This could be misspecification within the model and some items within a factor were more correlated to each other than others.
