dc.description.abstract |
Technological advances have reduced learning and teaching limits
based on time and distance making education more accessible to students.
Accordingly this study sought to establish whether the personal computer
utilisation model (PCUM) could be used to predict and explain factors that
influence the technology user behaviour of university students in Botswana.
The PCUM is a model designed not only to predict PC utilisation but also to
predict technology acceptance. A quantitative approach that employed a
self-constructed structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample
of 940 students from three public universities. Confirmatory factor analysis
(CFA) was used for data validation of scale items. Results of the study showed
that five out of the six dimensions of the PCUM significantly influenced the technology user behaviour of university students showing that overall, the
PCUM could be used to predict and explain the technology user behaviour of
university students. These results have implications on both practice and policy
with regards to the integration of technology in universities. |
