Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use in the Worth of Online Education System in Bangladesh

Abstract
The prevalence of online education has experienced significant growth in tandem with the
widespread adoption of digital technology across various domains. The primary factor for
transforming the education sector into an entirely virtual format is the significant increase and
influence of digitalisation, which accelerated the recent global pandemic. This study examines the
perceptions of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use about the value of online education
systems while also considering the implications of their adoption in Bangladesh. Furthermore, this
study examines the relationship between perceived ease of use and the worth of online education
usage, focusing on the mediating role of perceived usefulness. This investigation incorporates the
diffusion of technology adoption theory to provide a comprehensive analysis. It examines the
broader scope of the online education system, including its perceived usefulness and ease of use.
The literature review examines the several components associated with the online education system,
focusing on the positive and negative effects of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of
online education. This work employs the SEM-AMOES technique to investigate the direct and
mediated interactions among the hypothesised components. The sample utilised in this study was
obtained through multistage cluster sampling. It consisted of 286 respondents, which was reduced
to 265 after screening and sorting due to the presence of partial or missing data. Due to their high
population density and diverse cultural characteristics, the study focused on Dhaka, the capital city
of Bangladesh. The research sample was selected to ensure representativeness and minimise
potential biases by considering several criteria, such as gender, age, and education. The correlation
between online education's perceived usefulness and worth has been significant. The findings
indicate that each variable evaluated significantly impacts the worth of online education.
