Summary
User acceptance of learning management systems (LMS) in higher education is driven by self-efficacy, enjoyment, and computer anxiety. Findings reveal distinct factors influencing faculty and student behavior regarding LMS adoption.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Higher Education Pedagogy
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a shift to online learning, making Learning Management Systems (LMS) crucial in higher education.
- Understanding user acceptance of these digital platforms is vital for effective educational delivery.
- Existing research often overlooks the specific differences in adoption drivers between educators and learners.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the factors influencing user acceptance behavior towards Learning Management Systems (LMS).
- To apply the extended technology acceptance model to understand LMS adoption.
- To identify and compare the differing influences on faculty and student acceptance of LMS.
Main Methods:
- A quantitative research approach was employed.
- Data was collected and analyzed to assess user acceptance behavior.
- The extended technology acceptance model served as the theoretical framework.
Main Results:
- Self-efficacy, enjoyment, and computer anxiety were identified as the primary drivers of user acceptance behavior.
- Significant differences were found in the factors influencing faculty and student acceptance of LMS.
- The study documented specific influencing factors unique to faculty and student groups.
Conclusions:
- Self-efficacy, enjoyment, and computer anxiety are key determinants for LMS user acceptance.
- Tailored strategies are needed to address the distinct needs and influences affecting faculty and students in LMS adoption.
- This research provides insights for optimizing LMS implementation in higher education settings.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...
