Journal Title: GATR Global Journal of Business & Social Science Review - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective - This research aims to explore whether the intention of ICT adoption in teaching Malay language acts as a mediator in the relationship between attitudes toward ICT adoption and the adoption of the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) among secondary school Malay Language teachers. Methodology/Technique - TAM is the basis theory in this quantitative study which uses a questionnaire to collect the data. The population of the study comprises of 410 secondary school teachers in Selangor by applying various probability sampling procedures. The research instrument was adapted from a previous questionnaire and pilot study which shows an alpha Cronbach at .81. Software of Smart-PLS was used to analyse the results of the study. Findings - The mediator analysis showed a positive and significant direct relationship (β = .067, p <.05) between attitude and the adoption of VLE. The findings obtained in the analysis of indirect relationships and direct relationships clearly indicate that the intention of ICT adoption acts as partial mediator if the impression of indirect contact with the effects of direct relationships was significant. Novelty - In summary, the significant relationship between attitudes toward adoption and the intention of ICT adoption and adoption of VLE suggest that intention acts as a mediator.
