| In the past years, the increasing number of implementations of learning management systems in educational institutions has aroused great interest on the study e-learning acceptance. Acceptance studies focus on the predictors of system use, and generally consider behavioural intention as a proxy for actual use. Recently, empirical research has questioned the influence of intention to use on actual use. This study proposes a TAM3-based model ? with the inclusion of two additional variables: personal innovativeness and perceived interaction ? to study the factors influencing learning management systems? acceptance, with special focus on the relation between intention and actual behaviour. In order to do so, data has been gathered from a survey administrated to Spanish graduate students, and a partial least squares analysis has been used to test the research model. The results of the analysis supported the original TAM relations, except for the intention-behaviour linkage, and unveiled a dual nature of perceived usefulness ? with one component related to efficiency and performance, and another component related to flexibility. The main findings from this study question the adequacy of applying the TAM3 model in educational settings when compared to simpler models. Moreover, behavioural intention to use learning management systems might be related to learning modality preference, and therefore its measurement scale might also be subject to further revision. A reformulation of behavioural intention addressing the particularities of educational contexts should cover aspects related to flexibility and self-directed learning. | |
