Abstract

Davies technology acceptance model is one of the simplest and most powerful acceptance review models. The present research has been carried out with the aim of investigating the acceptance model of information and communication technology (ICT) in virtual education from the point of view of teachers of exceptional schools in Guilan province. The research method is quantitative in terms of general approach and descriptive-survey in terms of data collection. The statistical population is 760 teachers of exceptional schools in Guilan province, of which 260 were selected by simple random. A researcher-made questionnaire was designed to collect data. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.75 shows the reliability of the questionnaire in collecting the required data. In order to determine the structural validity and fit of the designed model, confirmatory factor analysis method and structural equation model were also used. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between individual factors, social factors, organizational factors, innovation characteristics, understanding of usefulness, understanding of ease of use, attitude, willingness to use technology and use of technology. Also, the results of the research showed that the variables used in the research were a suitable model for examining the pattern of acceptance of information and communication technologies based on the Davis model of technology acceptance among teachers of exceptional schools in Guilan province. According to the fit indicators obtained in the research, it is recommended to hold in-service classes with higher quality and more organizational support from information and communication technology.

Abstract [Persian]

مدل پذیرش فناوری دیویس از ساده‌ترین و قدرتمندترین مدل‌های بررسی پذیرش است. تحقیق حاضر با هدف بررسی مدل پذیرش فناوری اطلاعات و ارتباطات (فاوا) در آموزش مجازی از دیدگاه معلمان مدارس استثنائی استان گیلان به انجام رسیده است. روش پژوهش از نظر رویکرد کلی، کمی و از نظر گردآوری اطلاعات، توصیفی- پیمایشی است. جامعه‌ی آماری 760 نفر از معلمان مدارس استثنائی استان گیلان هستند که تعداد 260 نفر از آن‌ها به صورت تصادفی ساده انتخاب شدند. برای جمع‌آوری داده‌ها، پرسشنامه‌ای محقق ساخته طراحی شد. ضریب آلفای کرونباخ 75/0 پایایی پرسشنامه را در جمع‌آوری داده‌های مورد نیاز نشان می‌دهد. به منظور تعیین اعتبار سازه‌ای و برازش مدل طراحی شده از روش تحلیل عاملی تأییدی و مدل معادلات ساختاری نیز بهره گرفته شد. نتایج نشان داد که بین عوامل فردی، عوامل اجتماعی، عوامل سازمانی، ویژگی‌های نوآوری، درک مفید بودن، درک آسانی کاربرد، نگرش، تمایل به کاربرد فناوری و استفاده از فناوری رابطه مثبت و معناداری وجود دارد. همچنین نتایج تحقیق نشان داد که متغیرهای به کار رفته در پژوهش، مدل مناسبی برای بررسی الگوی پذیرش فناوری‌های اطلاعات و ارتباطات بر اساس مدل پذیرش فناوری دیویس در بین معلمان مدارس استثنائی استان گیلان بوده است. با توجه به شاخص‌های برازش به دست آمده در تحقیق، برگزاری کلاس‌های ضمن خدمت با کیفیت بالاتر و حمایت‌های سازمانی بیشتر از فناوری اطلاعات و ارتباطات توصیه می‌گردد.
