URQUIDI MARTIN, Ana Cristina; CALABOR PRIETO, María Sol e TAMARIT AZNAR, Carmen. Virtual Learning Environments: Extending the Technology Acceptance Model. REDIE [online]. 2019, vol.21, e22. Epub 15-Abr-2020. ISSN 1607-4041. https://doi.org/10.24320/redie.2019.21.e22.1866.
As part of the ongoing renewal of teaching methodologies, universities are encouraging the use of virtual learning environments as a basic tool in face-to-face teaching settings, as they make it possible to personalize and introduce flexibility into education. The objective of this study is to provide empirical evidence on students’ perception of improvement in their learning by adopting and using virtual environments in traditional classroom settings, on the basis of an extended Technology Acceptance Model. The study population comprises 251 first-year students at the School of Economics of the University of Valencia (Universitat de València). The study results, obtained through structural equations, provide empirical evidence of a relationship in which perceived usefulness and subjective norms positively influence intention to use, which is a determining factor in students’ perceived learning.
