Investigating Digital Learning Materials Acceptance Through Self-Efficacy and the Technology Acceptance Model

Abstract

This study aims to examine the causality of the determinants of intention to use digital learning materials in higher education. A quantitative approach and SEM-PLS analysis techniques were used to measure causality between variables in this study. The sample in this study consisted of 116 respondents from two state universities in Indonesia. The results showed that self-efficacy has a positive influence on the perception of usefulness and perceived ease of use of digital learning materials. Meanwhile, the perception of usefulness does not have a positive impact on attitudes towards using digital learning materials. Meanwhile, attitudes towards using digital learning materials have a positive influence on the intention to use digital learning materials, which can encourage students to use digital learning materials more frequently than conventional ones.
