Attitude Towards Intention to Use Mobile-Based Teaching Assessment Based on TAM and a Novel Extended TAM Model

Abstract. In recent years the combination of a rapid development in mobile technology and the pandemic scenario in which currently the world is still in, have caused an increasing demand for online systems that can replace the tradi�tional methods in a variety of areas. For instance, the rising usage of e-learning and e-health are evidence of this reality. Consequently, Mobile Based Teaching Assessment (MBTA) has become the ideal candidate to replace traditional class�room evaluation. The intention of end users to use MBTA as an alternative to traditional evaluation is the main indicator of its adoption in a regular basis. This
study has two main goals, the first one is to use the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to evaluate how people’s feelings towards the usage of MBTA, the second goal is to propose an extended TAM that incorporates intrinsic motivation to the traditionally extrinsic regular TAM. Partially least squares (PLS) were used in this study, and data was gathered from 75 students and academic support personnel using a simple sampling technique, as well as structural model to evaluate the
proposed model. Based on the findings of this research, the attitude of individuals directly influences their desire to use MBTA. Along with that, individual’s attitude is influenced by a variety of factors, this is more evident in the extended TAM proposed. Despite the indications achieved with TAM regarding the implemen�tation of mobile-based teaching assessment in an academic context, the claimed
user attitude explains 75% of the variance in user intention towards MBTA. The importance of the suggested paradigm, as well as the accuracy of the extended TAM proposed, is shown in the results of this work.
