Acceptance of Google Classroom Technology among Students at Romblon State University-Cajidiocan Campus Using the Modified UTAUT Model

The fundamental change that has come to be accepted as the standard in the field of education has fundamentally altered both the transmission and acquisition of knowledge. As a response to extraordinary global difficulties, the educational system has embraced a hybrid approach that integrates digital tools with more traditional pedagogical methods. The researchers in this study employed a modified version of the UTAUT model to the acceptance of Google Classroom technology among RSU Cajidiocan Campus students as a basis for adopting the technology in the new normal in education. Only facilitating conditions and hedonic motivation demonstrated statistically significant relationships with technology acceptance, according to the findings. The relationships between social influence, effort expectancy, self-efficacy, and performance expectancy were not statistically significant. The high R-square and adjusted R-square values indicated revealed the revised UTAUT model explained a significant percentage of the observed variability in the behavioral intentions of students to utilize Google Classroom. The model accurately reflected the associations between predictors and behavioral intent. These findings contribute to our comprehension among the many elements that have a role in the dissemination of educational technology and which may direct efforts to increase student technology adoption.
