Abstract
Although most universities and educators are relying on implementing various technological tools
in the curriculum, acceptance of such tools among students is still not sufficient. The Technology
Acceptance Model (TAM) has been widely used by researchers to test user’s acceptance of technology in business, education and other domains. This research study is an attempt that tests the
integration of TAM and user satisfaction in the educational field. It particularly investigates students’ acceptance to use MyMathLab, a technological tool, in university math classes in the Middle East. Structural equation modelling with various constructs was used. Findings support the
theoretical model showing the great influence of user satisfaction on perceived ease of use and
subjective norm on behavioural intention. The findings of this study also demonstrate that selfefficacy, user satisfaction, subjective norms, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and students’ attitude constructs all have a positive impact on students’ behavioural intentions to adopt
and use technological tools in a mathematics class room. Findings of this research have greater
implications for educators and students worldwide.
