Work in Progress - A Modified Technology Acceptance Model for E-Assessment: Intentions of Engineering Students to Use Web-Based Assesment Tools

2010-10-30
With the usage of information technologies in education field, e-assessment that uses information technology to assess students learning started to become popular. Web-based testing, a type of e-assessment, seems to have advantages when compared to traditional testing, like costing, reliability, ease of use etc. Although it seems to have advantages, students' intentions to use web-based assessment tools are needed to be researched to identify the factors that affect students' acceptance of such technologies as well as to enhance these tools by taking into account the needs of users. This paper presents the work in progress in order to determine the factors that affect engineering students' intentions to use web-based assessment systems. The study takes Technology Acceptance Model as a base for research model and by adding new external factors that affect users' intention towards to use web-based assessment which will help the improvement of web-based assessment tools by considering users needs.

The relationship between educational ideologies and technology acceptance in pre-service teachers
Kiraz, Ercan; Ozdemir, Devrim (2006-01-01)
After the evaluation of numerous technology integration programs in school districts and universities, it is recognized that the existence of technology does not guarantee its utilization in the classroom environment. Although many models and theories have tried to explain the contributing factors in technology acceptance, most of the models and theories have focused on technology-related factors. This study focused on educational ideology, a factor not related to technology that also affects decisions in t...
Investigation of Fatih Project within the scope of teachers school administrators and yegıtek adminisrators opinions A multiple case study
Gök, Ali; Yıldırım, Zahide (Mersin Üniversitesi, 2015-01-01)
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) affected educational environments as well as other areas. Recently, in Turkey, the government has initiated a project, FATİH Project (Movement of Enhancing Opportunities and Improving Technology Project). In this project, some technologies have been installed in K-12 schools all over the country. For the success of the FATİH Projects, not only how teachers perceive those technologies, but also what the school administrators’ and project administrators’ opinio...
