Students’ Technology Acceptance, Motivation and Self-Efficacy towards the eSchoolbag: An Exploratory Study

Abstract

The eSchoolbag, as an integrated intelligent teaching and learning platform, has gained great popularity during the last decade, especially in Asia countries.However, few research regarding the eSchoolbag-based learning provides a whole picture of students' ideas towards the eSchoolbag.This study examined students' technology acceptance, motivation and self-efficacy towards the eSchoolbag, especially, how students' learning performances affected their perceptions of the eSchoolbag, which could facilitate the successful implementation of the eSchoolbag in classroom environments.A total of 299 participants were involved in this study, and were divided into two groups based on their annual academic performances using K-means clustering algorithm.The two groups were labelled as the high and low group respectively.In term of technology acceptance, this research found that there was no significant difference on students' perceived ease-ofuse of the eSchoolbag, however, there was a significant difference on students' perceived usefulness.With respect to students' motivation, the result showed no significant differences between the high and low performance groups.But a significant difference was existed on students' self-efficacy between the high and low group, with students in the high group demonstrating higher self-efficacy than students in the low group.
