Abstract | Despite the potential of social networks in formal learning, there should be more knowledge on the students and teachers attitudes toward such technology and more recent information in the context of the actual educational situation. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used. The instruments included a questionnaire investigate the attitudes of teachers and students towards formal learning through social networks. The results indicated positive attitudes in both groups on the four TAM subscales. As compared to teachers, students perceived these networks to be more useful. For the other three subscales, however, there were no differences. Furthermore besides the subscales of perceived usefulness and attitude towards social networks, the external variable number of accounts directly influenced the behavioral intention to use social networks in formal learning as well as all the other variables. Attitude towards usage was the best predictor of behavioral intention to use social networks in formal learning. (As Provided). |
