Introduction Though technologies for individualization appear to benefit primary school students’ learning, studies suggest that their integration remains sparse. Technology acceptance research has largely focused on exploring teachers’ general of educational technologies, although factors might predict usage intentions differently depending the specific purpose an technology. Digital learning platforms individualized practice are comparably challenging and complex use so far, predictors intention integrate such into lessons unknown. Meanwhile, technology generally lacks comparability due absence a shared theoretical model specification. Methods In sample 272 German teachers, this study aims identify digital in consideration unified theory (UTAUT). To ensure understanding, teachers were provided with video which specified addressed purpose. Regarding intention, explanatory power standard UTAUT was investigated compared extended accounting seven additional context-specific predictors. Results The significantly explained performance expectancy, effort availability necessary technical infrastructure showing significant associations intention. However, neither nor meaningful increase variance observed model. Discussion is sufficient explaining its extension by provides no added value. Acceptance facilitating interventions should therefore target expectancy as well infrastructure. Thus, underlining successful implementation consider both, individual structural factors.

Regional Digital Resilience and the 4Helix Model—The Higher Education Institutions’ Case in Romania

Journal of theoretical and applied electronic commerce research, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 18(2), P. 928 - 958

Published: May 8, 2023

Against the background of multiple and simultaneous global socio-economic shocks, coupled with digital transformation green transition, regional resilience triggers new structural transformations. The more complex processes that need to be addressed now require usage integrated tools. novelty approach is combination models synthetic spatial–temporal picture offered. quadruple helix, or 4Helix, model puts Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) at nexus generating resilience. We posit a mindset behavior human capital reinforce innovation knowledge production transfer. explore, using Romanian national case, what degree spatial 4Helix generates as positive externality adoption ‘new normal’ education. analyze this process in three steps. (1) determine distribution HEIs county level (NUTS3). (2) calculate static dynamic indexes (at NUTS2) outcome method for multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) by each region’s economy well individual wealth, social use connectivity dimensions. (3) Lastly, we provide result overlaid maps radar charts (using number coverage resilience). These classes region indicate generalized failure adopting education Romania. study contributes adding powerful tool explore phenomena an perspective pre-existing framework. In doing so, it enables researchers better understand address society’s needs, co-create solutions together end-users, maximize impact these solutions, optimize resources usage, increase transparency accountability decision-making processes.
