Electronic Learning Modules in Mobile Devices: A Technology Acceptance Model Approach Using PLS-SEM

Adopting new information technology (IT) solutions has been one of the most effective means to improve the quality of instruction delivered to students. With the spread of the coronavirus 2019 pandemic, many learning institutions have shifted from the conventional mode of learning, where instructions are usually delivered inside the classroom, into a more flexible mode. Thus, integrating new IT solutions plays a big part in these changes. This study aimed to identify relationships among the variables contained in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to use electronic learning modules on an application installed on mobile devices using partial least square–structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Sixty-five-point-nine percent of males and thirty-four-point-one percent of females participated in this study, which made up the eighty-two total number of respondents. Analysis shows that this number of respondents was sufficient for this study. Using WarpPLS 7.0, analysis was performed. Results revealed that there were significant positive relationships between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness; perceived ease of use and attitude toward using; attitude toward using and intention to use; and perceived usefulness and intention to use. However, the analysis revealed that there was no significant relationship between perceived usefulness and the attitude toward using it. A revised TAM model was presented based on parameter estimates
