It is important to identify and understand important factors underpinning the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in schools. And, it is important that ICT is adopted in a sound pedagogical manner. The aim with this study was to suggest a model for the actual use of ICT in schools and how it may be related to important factors such as technological pedagogical expectations. The design of the model was inspired by TAM2 and UTAUT models, but with some modifications. We have developed a model which highlight the pedagogical aspects beyond the technical ones. Furthermore, our suggested model also include the adoption of digital techniques in everyday life as a potential predictor of adoption of ICT at work. The sample consists of 122 teachers and we analyzed the model with a structural equation model. This study contributes with a suggested model including a new construct for measuring expected performance from a technological pedagogical point of view. This new construct was a significant predictor to actual use of ICT in school. Furthermore we also developed a new construct for adoption of ICT in everyday life, which also was a significant predictor to actual use of ICT in school.
识别并理解支撑学校信息与通信技术(ICT)整合的重要因素至关重要。而且,以合理的教学方式采用ICT也很重要。本研究的目的是提出一个学校ICT实际使用的模型,以及它如何与技术教学期望等重要因素相关联。该模型的设计受到技术接受模型2(TAM2)和统一技术接受与使用模型(UTAUT)的启发,但做了一些修改。我们开发了一个突出教学方面而非技术方面的模型。此外,我们建议的模型还将日常生活中数字技术的采用作为工作中ICT采用的潜在预测因素。样本包括122名教师,我们用结构方程模型分析了该模型。本研究提出了一个建议模型,其中包括一个从技术教学角度衡量预期表现的新结构,这是本研究的贡献所在。这个新结构是学校ICT实际使用的一个重要预测因素。此外,我们还开发了一个日常生活中ICT采用的新结构,它也是学校ICT实际使用的一个重要预测因素。
