Abstract

This research aimed to examine the factors affecting the acceptance of technology in the use of the online learning media system at
Lampang Boromrajonani College of Nursing, Lampang, Thailand. The researcher designed and developed an online learning media system based on the principles of software development life cycle (SDLC) and applied it to 116 fourth-year nursing students, divided into 4 males and 112 females, evaluated using a questionnaire on its utilization and technology acceptance regarding the theory of technology acceptance model (TAM). The independent variables were perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, and the dependent variable was the intention to use. Data on satisfaction were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while data on technology adoption were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Results indicated that the parameter on suitability of the media had an average of 4.56 + 0.56, indicating the highest satisfaction based on a 5-point scale. Moreover, the parameter on media efficiency had an average of 4.50 + 0.61, indicating high satisfaction based on a 5-point scale. For technology adoption, it could be summarized as the equation: Yt = 0.697 + 0.573X1 + 0.277X2 where Yt = technology adoption, X1 = p
erceived usefulness, and X2 = perceived ease of use with P-value = 0.000, and R2 = 0.567, indicating fair technology adoption among users.
