The Contribution of the Technology Acceptance Model for an Active Teaching and Learning Process in Higher Education

Abstract

Building up a more engaging and active teaching and learning experience is now crucial to face the challenges that the profile of today's digital learner requires. The relevance of digital technology in the educational field cannot be denied as many studies have been conducted and many frameworks have been developed trying to understand the advantages that digital tools can bring to education. This chapter presents a bibliometric analysis of scientific articles indexed at Scopus from the previous 10 years related to the use of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in higher education. This resulted in the identification of the perspectives, digital technologies, methodologies, and developments in this field of research. It was possible to verify that the studies are more focused on the acceptance of technology from the perspective of the students and not so much on the perspective of the teachers. Along with the perceived ease of use and usefulness, self-efficacy is another variable to consider when accepting using technology.
