Motivation, Blackboard, Acceptance and Use of Technology, Model TAM3, Self-Determination TheoryAbstract
Motivation has been subject of study in different knowledge areas. Regarding the acceptance and use of technology, motivation may be considered crucial, directly influencing users’ decisions about using or not an information system. Although there exist models proposed for evaluating acceptance and use of technology, motivational aspects are not fully exploited. The objective of this work is to identify motivation type and factors that influence the acceptance and use of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Then we proposed a questionnaire based on the TAM3 (Technology Acceptance Model 3) and the Self-Determination Theory. The questionnaire was used in a survey conducted with students of Exact Science face-to-face courses of a private university that adopts Blackboard as VLE. The results reveal that students are satisfied with organizational and technical resources available for VLE utilization, as long as their applicability on students’ knowledge area. Besides, they believe that VLE utilization improves their performance during activities’ execution. Regarding motivation, the results confirm the students are more extrinsically motivated than intrinsically, which means they use the VLE due to obligation and not for pleasure or free will.
