Teachers play a central role in achieving the mission, vision, and goals of educational institutions. However, multitude responsibilities obligations they must fulfill demands high level productivity. Consequently, productivity software is increasingly becoming necessity for teachers to lessen their day-to-day work pressure instead focus on offering quality education. Despite popularity, key antecedents precursors affecting intention use have yet be investigated. Therefore, goal this study was determine what factors contribute adoption by applying theoretical lens Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A total 947 responses from basic higher education were analyzed using structural equation modeling approach. Results show that usefulness ease are predicting behavioral intention. It also indirectly affected external variables such as subjective norms, professional reputation, job relevance, output through perceived well facilitating conditions self-efficacy use. Overall, findings support applicability specific TAM version its employment context software.

Introduction Information literacy has become indispensable in navigating today’s fast-paced media environment, with teachers playing a pivotal role fostering reflective and critical digital citizenship. Positioned as future gatekeepers, pre-service are the key to teaching skills especially information generations of pupils. Given particular challenges facing educators today compared previous generations, it is important determine whether next generation feel adequately prepared perceive themselves competent pass on these their However, research highlighted deficiencies formal learning opportunities at universities, underscoring need for further investigation into teachers’ acquisition, evaluation practices well perceived relevance teaching, person-related factors associated competence literacy. Method An online questionnaire was presented participants, employing mixed-method approach. We qualitatively examined sources used by strategies they employ, while quantitatively analyzing relationships between competence. Participants assessed competence, opportunities, self-efficacy (general related assessment), informedness, selective exposure, cognition, cognitive closure, mistrust coverage. Results Data from 371 participants revealed dominance acquisition over traditional sources, albeit prevalence surface-level approaches. Two distinct dimensions emerged: one focusing assessment other centers understanding news creation processes. Perceived significantly assessment, exposure evaluation. Moreover, diverse demonstrated heightened sense assessment. Discussion Our results provide valuable insights multifaceted nature Theoretical implications practical teacher education structure curricula discussed.

Game-Changer NPCs: Leveling-Up Technology Acceptance and Flow in a Digital Learning Quest

International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 22

Опубликована: Май 20, 2024

Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) combines gamification with educational content to create engaging learning experiences tailored today's learners. Non-Playable Characters (NPCs), integral many video games, are computer-generated characters controlled by game algorithms rather than players. Despite their prominence in gaming, research on NPCs' impact learners' perceptions, experiences, and acceptance of DGBL environments remains scarce. This study presents a framework that investigates the non-player characters' (NPCs) attributes, including social presence, telepresence, support, storytelling, factors related technology acceptance, such as perceived usefulness ease use, well flow state intention continue using digital game-based environment. An experiment was conducted where learners were administered survey after interacting NPCs, simulating peers, professors, or industry experts teaching Fintech topics within Analysis 200 valid responses Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling revealed attributes significantly enhance usefulness, Furthermore, findings indicate use positively affect intentions Thematic analysis per participant feedback highlighted value an innovative approach makes about accessible engaging. These results interpreted through Technology Acceptance Model, theory, presence gamified model, offering insights into how NPCs can be effectively designed enrich experience foster adoption.
