A Triangulated Model to Assess Adoption of Virtual Learning Environements in Primary Schools

TL;DR

This paper develops a triangulated model combining technological acceptance and appropriation to assess how primary schools adopt Virtual Learning Environments, aiming to improve understanding of factors influencing adoption.

Contribution

It introduces a novel triangulated model integrating acceptance and appropriation theories specifically for primary school VLE adoption.

Findings

Identifies key factors influencing VLE adoption in primary schools

Proposes a comprehensive framework combining acceptance and appropriation

Provides insights into the adoption process in educational settings

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to highlight the existing theoretical approaches which study the issue of technology adoption, and to establish a triangulated model to explore Virtual Learning Environments adoption in primary schools. We studied the process of adoption through the lens of two related processes: the technological acceptance and appropriation.
