Okul Yöneticileri Tarafından E-Okul Uygulamasının Genişletilmiş Teknoloji Kabul Modeline Göre Değerlendirilmesi/Assessment Of E-Okul Applıcatıon By School Managers Usıng Extended Technology Acceptance Model

Öz Özet Bu çalışmanın amacı, okul yöneticilerinin, Genişletilmiş Teknoloji Kabul Modeli (TAM2)'ye uygun olarak, e-okul yazılımı hakkındaki görüşlerini belirlemektir. Çalışma Gaziantep ilinde 62 okuldaki 373 müdür ve müdür yardımcısı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada okul yöneticileri genel olarak e-okula ilişkin olumlu görüş bildirmişlerdir. E-okul için TAM2'nin Algılanan Fayda ve Mesleki Alaka boyutları ile cinsiyet değişkeni; Algılanan Fayda, Algılanan Kullanım Kolaylığı ve Sonuçların Gösterilebilirliği boyutları ile yaş değişkeni arasında anlamlı ilişkiler tespit edilmiştir. Erkek yöneticiler kadın yöneticilere göre daha olumlu görüş belirtirken, yaşları genç olan yöneticiler de görece yaşlı olan yöneticilere göre genellikle daha olumlu görüş bildirmişlerdir. Anahtar Kelimeler: e-okul, Genişletilmiş Teknoloji Kabul Modeli, TAM2, okul yöneticisi, değerlendirme ASSESSMENT OF E-OKUL APPLICATION BY SCHOOL MANAGERS USING EXTENDED TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE MODEL Abstract This study aimed to evaluate “e-okul” system based on Extented Technology Acceptance Model (TAM2) by school principals and school vice-principals. Participants of the study were 373 in 62 schools in the province of Gaziantep. The participants reported favourable attitudes toward e-okul. There were some significant interactions in dimensions of TAM2 in terms of age and gender. In gender variable, there were significant interaction between gender and Perceived Usefulness, and gender and Job Relevance. Furthermore, there were significant differences between age and Perceived Usefulness, age and Perceived Ease of Use, and age and Result Demonstrability. Male school vice/principals had more positive perceptions to usefulness and job relevance of e-okul than females did. And, younger school vice/principals generally had more positive perceptions to uselfulness, ease of use and result demostrability of e-okul. Key Words: e-okul, Extented Technology Acceptance Model, TAM2, school principal, evaluation
