The objective of this study is to analyze the intention of the use of the
instructional modality blended learning to be used by academics as a
predictive model using theoretical contributions from the Theory of
Planned Behavior (Theory of Planned Behavior), models of acceptance
technology (TAM) and the theory of diffusion of innovation (Innovation
diffusion Theory). The theoretical model proposed consists of six
constructs: Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Compatibility
Social Image, Social Influence and Intended Use. The study included
486 teachers from different Spanish universities. The data was analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Causal analysis was also utilized, conforming to structural equation approach (SEM), with parameter estimations using the maximum likelihood method (ML) for the contrast of the proposed structural relationships. The results reveal that
the model factors explained 41% of the variability of the intended use of blended learning. The intention to adopt b-learning is positively affected by two main determinants, on one side the perceived usefulness of improving teaching practice (standardized value = 0.54, p |
