Description
Summary:<p>Studies have shown that, despite its many advantages, the use of mobile based assessment</p><p>(MBA) in educational institutions has some limitations. As such, this study was carried out to</p><p>propose an acceptance model to determine factors that might influence students</p><p>acceptance of mobile based assessment based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM),</p><p>which is a highly valid technology acceptance model. Essentially, the proposed model</p><p>consists of six constructs, namely intention, usefulness, ease of use, enjoyment, content</p><p>assessment, and navigation system. A panel consisting of 21 experts used the Delphi</p><p>method to validate the proposed model. Also, a sample study consisting of 90</p><p>undergraduates were given survey questionnaires to collect data for further analysis using the</p><p>Structural Equation Modeling method. The findings showed usefulness, ease of use, and</p><p>enjoyment had significant relationships with students intention to use such an</p><p>assessment. Likewise, content assessment had significant relationships with usefulness,</p><p>ease of use, and enjoyment. The findings also showed the navigation system had significant</p><p>relationships with ease of use and enjoyment. Overall, these findings suggest </p><p>that motivational factors, including content assessment and navigation system, play</p><p> an important role in influencing students acceptance of mobile based </p><p>assessment. In summation, these findings can serve as a guideline to help all the stakeholders to</p><p>take into account all the above factors for the successful implementation of mobile based</p><p>assessment in educational institutions. Further studies can be carried out by focusing</p><p>on other important psychological factors, such as trust and anxiety.</p><p></p>
