Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that determined the adoption of digital textbook among elementary and middle school teachers, and to propose and validate a revised Technology Acceptance Model. The study was grounded in the innovation diffusion theory and the attribute factors proposed in the theory were used in the model. More specifically, observability, compatibility, and subjective norms were proposed as external factors and usefulness, easy of use, intention to use were proposed as internal factors in the proposed model. It was found that (a) observability, compatibility, and subjective norms were the main external factors that influenced the teachers' intention to use digital textbook and (b) the revised TAM was validated.

이 연구는 초 중등 교원을 대상으로 혁신확산모형에서 제안하는 혁신 속성 변인들을 기반으로 디지털교과서의 수용을 결정하는 요인을 규명하고, 정보기술수용모형(TAM)을 보다 확장된 모형으로 제안하고 검증하고자 수행되었다. 이를 위해 관찰가능성, 적합성, 주관적 규범을 외생변인으로, 유용성과 사용용이성, 사용의도를 내생변인으로 설정하는 연구모형을 제안하였다. 연구결과 관찰가능성, 적합성, 주관적 규범은 교사의 디지털교과서 사용의도에 영향을 미치는 주요한 외재적 변인이며, 본 연구에서 제안한 확장된 정보기술수용모형은 적합함을 검증하였다.
