Resumo: | |||||||||||||
Behavioral changes will always be present in societies. Recent technological
innovations have changed teaching and learning techniques, driven mainly by the
possibilities opened up by the internet. This study proposes an investigation about the
factors influencing the technology acceptance of teachers in regard to innovative
education tools. To analyze a model acceptance of technology, a preliminary research
was carried out, focusing on the identification of a suitable technology acceptance model
in the literature, one that could be applied to the problem at hand and that would provide
meaningful insights about the acceptance of educational innovations. The model
deemed most adequate was the Theory of Diffusion of Innovations (Rogers, 2003). To
evaluate perceptions and opinions about an innovative teaching tool (Moodle), a survey
was carried out with the professors of the Business School of the Pontifícia Universidade
Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC - Rio). On the first stage of the survey, participants
were asked about their perceptions regarding Moodle (an online teaching tool). On a
second stage participants were asked to provide demographic and personal information.
The survey`s results were analyzed in a descriptive method and all the redundant
information were dismissed. Considering the limitations about the sample`s size relevant
results were generated providing important data analysis to the different interested
people.
The results revealed the variables - in the Diffusion of Innovation Theory
(Rogers, 2003) - that most influence the teacher`s decision about using the Moodle as a
teaching tool at the Business School of the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de
Janeiro (PUC - Rio).
